Do we divide ourselves from each other by participating in the world's system of VOTING?
All praise to God our LORD that the election in the USA is finally over. The LORD did not allow me to participate but only to observe what was going on with the Saints in the USA. What the Lord revealed to me is the condition of His people and how fleshy we are. I’m not speaking about the people of this world or of Americans… I’m speaking of those who call themselves a brother or a sister in Christ. I am so saddened to see our condition and the Lord recalled this scripture to me out of 2… Continue

Whom shall we vote for to lead us?
As the election comes to an end on the 4th of November, I have found myself confused and disheartened with how anxious the Saints are in the United States and perhaps in the world. I recall a conversation between Samuel and our Father in 1 Samuel 8:14-21
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have."
6 But… Continue

Do we actually know what fellowship is? Do we think fellowship is holy?
Acts 2:42 “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”
1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
2 Corinthians 6:14 “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”
2 Corinthians 13:14… Continue

Do we fear the Lord our God?
Psalm 112:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.”
Deuteronomy 10:12-13 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?”

Are we practicing idolatry every Sunday morning because we're eating from the wrong tree?
Saints,
We have spoken of the graven image of which is to follow God according to your imagination. That's not reality, that's relativism which is a seed for idolatry. We can say Jesus and God but mean something completely different. We have to be 'led' by the Spirit of God, not by our minds. We gain understanding through obedience in the fear of our God, not by our intellect.
Exodus 20:25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if… Continue

All Glory to the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit!
The Lord has led me from the ways of this world to a life I have never imagined. Yes. I took the red pill and now my life has been turned upside down. The things of this world is no longer real to me. All this because the Lord called me and for once in my life, I took Him at His Word.I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
The Lord had called His own to build the Body, the bride makes herself ready.
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
He came into His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
--- John 1:10
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain." (Gal. 2:20-21)
"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life."
---- Christ Jesus (John 5:39)
Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."
And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve."
---- Luke 4:5-7
"Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." --- James 4:4
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world -the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. -- 1 John 2:15
"My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him." -- 1 John 3:18
"A TERRIBLE AND SHOCKING THING HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAND;
THE PROPHETS PROPHESY LIES,
THE PRIESTS RULE BY THEIR OWN AUTHORITY,
AND MY PEOPLE LOVE IT THIS WAY.
BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE END?"
- God (Jeremiah 5:30)
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
---- Christ Jesus (John 3:3)

Sandra Hooper commented on Brother_Jonathan's blog post Are synagogues and church buildings from our Lord God?"I am curious, Jonathan, is there evidence that the "Jews, converts (Gentiles who are circumcised), and God-fearers (Gentiles who believed but weren't circumcised)" all worshiped in the same synagogues? I find this interesting."
Bill Wood left a comment for Brother_Jonathan"HOwdEE Jonathan,
I'm surprised to find that you're still here. I kinda figured you unsubbed for some reason. So how are you and the family? I bet the little one is really growing and causing you and the wife to make many adjustments.…"

Good word bro!
"Fold" vs "flock".

Loved the pictures of the baby-- absolutely angelic.
God bless you and your family
Dan
Your explanation sparked an idea-- when Jesus created the universe it must have been an awesome and frightening sight to behold.
I have accepted you as a friend and feel good about it.
God bless you and your family
Your new friend

I'm Edgar from the Philippines. I'd like to invite you to read my article at www.bibleone.net/TheMillennium.htm. The millennium doctrine is vital for Christians to understand. It has to do with the salvation of the soul, not spirit (1 Pet. 1:9; James 1:21; Heb. 10:39; Matt. 16:24-28). I'd appreciate a comment, but you are not obligated.
Thanks,
Edgar Meneses
Yours truly,
Edgardo
Love the photos.
I'm surprised to find that you're still here. I kinda figured you unsubbed for some reason. So how are you and the family? I bet the little one is really growing and causing you and the wife to make many adjustments. I've been wondering about you. It seems last I remember you called and left a voice-mail when I was on my way to Wyoming last summer. And I think I called back and left you a voice-mail too. I'm sure you remember Jonathan Akin my friend who you helped move. Well he's a west-sider now...
