However, Paul reminds us that Christians do have a financial obligation to support Jews in need. And my pastor is such great teacher of the Word that I gladly pay a few bucks to support him and his infrastructure. Our physical church also serves as a center of ministries, evangelization, teaching, and fellowship. In practice, this could all be done in people's homes--I do not know. Your ministry fascinates me. Blessings to you.ROMVLVShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328049384431588914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-38462681211759860162015-03-15T20:04:30.106-04:002015-03-15T20:04:30.106-04:00It is always encouraging to find others who are st...It is always encouraging to find others who are studying God's Word and taking it seriously in their lives.<br />Blessings,<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-91628575473803520652015-03-15T18:47:59.925-04:002015-03-15T18:47:59.925-04:00Thanks for sharing your testimony of God as a Teac...Thanks for sharing your testimony of God as a Teacher.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-39670052242331240982015-03-15T18:47:30.746-04:002015-03-15T18:47:30.746-04:00I love that verse too.

That last one you listed--"the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort"--are the divine traits I return to again and again. Sometimes I think, if not for this promise of His mercy and comfort, I would despair.<br /><br />Thank you for this reminder of how great our God is.<br />StephanieStephanie J.

John 6:27 <br />TEACHER! Those of us who have been drawn out of a very different life, to the one we know now, understand just how true this is! <br />I'm sure this scripture has many layers and levels, but I remember, just not knowing 'how to live' After a Born Again experience, God led me to start with Proverbs! Very simply read, practical, do-able and a new path, led by the Holy Spirit!

My husband and I have an online ministry that we use to encourage others to go back to the New Testament Church that Jesus set up and to look past the man made religion that we see today. Did you know that 'going to church' is not biblical? We 'are' the church. Did you know that the New Testament saints met house to house and did not build buildings? Jesus said His temple is not built with human hands yet man has created a 'go to' theology that separates a person's living worship (Romans 12:1-2) to a 'going to' someplace to worship. The tithe is not biblical for the New Testament and in many places it is used as a battering ram to rob needy people of their money when Paul (Holy Spirit through him) said to give out of the abundance of your heart. Sadly there are people who have been born again from their worldly past who have massive debt that they should be first getting themselves out from (God's word encourages believers to 'owe no man nothing') but instead the money is used to prop up a man made system/building etc. I know a lot of our ministry does not apply to the plain people as they have much biblically correct but there are some areas that pertain to any group and we all can use more depth in His Word as you show. The reason I post this is because people who are trapped in a man made system will not clearly see the awesome character and nature of our wonderful Creator God who sent His Son to pay for the sins of the Word. Feel free to check out our ministry and please, please correct us if we are wrong. I am happy to see others who strive in obedience to the things of God as we live in a spiritually barren place in the country where there are many walking around spiritually dead and do not desire to speak of anything from the Word of God. www.dontperish.com<br />Much love in Christ, please feel free to have your husband contact mine as we are always seeking biblical fellowship.<br />Have a joyful day and may God be praised.<br />Sister DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-18326336388339226082015-03-14T18:07:57.795-04:002015-03-14T18:07:57.795-04:00Philosopher Saint Thomas Aquinas, author of the an...Philosopher Saint Thomas Aquinas, author of the ancient and famous "Summa Theologica"<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summa_Theologica <br />argues that we can discern much about G-d by studying His creation; similar to how an artist's work says much about the artist.<br /><br />Our pastor gave a beautiful sermon last week http://www.cbcelp.com/media/weekly-sermons/<br />in his continuing series on defeating Satan. Through this particular sermon, my eyes were open to the reality that we cannot achieve righteousness through our own efforts, but ONLY through faith in Yeshua; in Christ Jesus.<br />We cannot be "good" through our own pitiful efforts, but only through our complete and utter dependence on the strength of Jesus alone. This wisdom, I pray, will greatly improve my efforts to defeat Satan's tricks. We must never stop growing in our walk with the Lord.ROMVLVShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328049384431588914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-42318048638077609192015-03-14T17:19:31.396-04:002015-03-14T17:19:31.396-04:00Thank you for this post.
