Good morning. I hope everything went well yesterday. From Proverbs: my son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments. Too many Christians forget or ignore God's teachings through His word. His word does not agree with their agenda. They don't want anyone telling them what to do. Why should we keep them? For length of days and years of life, and peace they will add to you. If you want to live long and prosper, like Spock says, then you need to keep God's word. His word is your vitamin pill each day. Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck. We need to carry them wherever we go. If you bind them around your neck, you will remember them – at least for a little while. Other people will see something hung around your neck. Though sometimes like pictures on the wall, we get to the point where we don't even notice that they are there. The pastor temporarily forgot about them on his plane flight to Denver recently. But the voice of God, i.e. Sharon, reminded him. He was hilarious. It also says to write them on the tablet of your heart. (see they even had iPads in the old testament ). You are to do them from your heart not your mind. If you do this what will happen? You will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man. People can't argue with kindness; though they might disagree agree with truth. We definitely want favor with God. Father help the reader to always keep Your commandments; to bind kindness and truth around his/her neck; writing them on the tablet of his/her heart. Help him/her to find favor and good repute with You and man.

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...
