Good morning. Today we are going to go back to Psalm one. I'm going to change A few of the words to make it more personal. How blessed is the reader who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his/her delight is in the word of the Lord, and in His word he/she meditates day and night. And he/she will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he/she does, he/she prospers. Too many Christians today are listening to the Council of those who are not Christians. They are getting their advice from people whose heart is not towards God, and who do not live their lives according to God's word. They scoff at us Christians. They put us down at every turn. They call wrong right and right wrong. They don't delight in God's word; because it points out where they are wrong. And sadly the same Christians that I'm talking about follow after them. Because they don't meditate in God's word like you do, they go astray. They don't want to hear that they have gone the wrong way; they want the praise and adoration of those unbelievers that are around them. Notice the results: you will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water. You have constantly that nourishment from the water of God's word. You cannot be shaken by things of the world. You will display your fruit - the fruit of the Holy Spirit – when it's time. And in whatever you do, you prosper. Why? Because what you do is God's word. And when you do God's word you prosper in everything. Father help the reader to stand firm against the storms of the world. To prosper in everything he/she does; because all /he/she does is Your word. When they see him/her, they will see the fruit of your Holy Spirit working in him/her.

When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.

  Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

Good morning. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. That makes sense. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. Is your head beginning to swim? For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. From what he says later, they must have had great concern about their friends or relatives who were Christians and had died earlier. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits (The first sheaf of the harvest given to the Lord as a token that all of the harvest belonged to the Lord and would be dedicated to Him) of those who are asleep. Jesus was just the first to be raised from the dead, not the only one. We will see next time that Pa...
