SPIRITUAL GROWTH

The general title to the Book of Psalms in Hebrew is תהלים Tehilliym, Psalms, or more fully, תהלים ספר Sêpher Tehilliym, "Book of Psalms?" Sometimes a shorter title is used - תלים Tilliym. Other terms are used as appropriate to particular psalms, as מזמורים mizmôriym, or שׁירים shı̂yriym, songs; or in the singular, מזמור mizmôr, and שׁיר shı̂yr, a song. These latter titles, however, are not given to the entire collection, but to particular psalms. The former title - מזמור mizmôr - is given to Psalm 3:1-8; Psalm 4:1-8; Psalm 5:1-12; Psalm 6:1-10; Psalm 8:1-9; Psalm 9; Psalm 12:1-8; Psalm 13:1-6; Psalm 15:1-5; Psalm 19:1-14; Psalm 20:1-9; Psalm 21:1-13; Psalm 22; Psalm 23:1-6; and to 39 others, the last being Psalm 143:1-12, rendered uniformly "a psalm." The latter title, שׁיר shı̂yr, occurs in Psalm 30:1-12; Psalm 45; Psalm 46:1-11; and in 27 other psalms, the last being Psalm 134:1-3, and is uniformly rendered "song," though it is sometimes connected with the word מזמור mizmôr, psalm, and rendered "A song and psalm," as in Psalm 48:1-14; Psalm 65:1-13; Psalm 66; Psalm 67:1-7; Psalm 68; Psalm 69; Psalm 75:1-10; Psalm 83; Psalm 87:1-7; Psalm 88; and in Psalm 122:1-9; Psalm 123:1-4; Psalm 124:1-8 it is connected with the word degrees: "A song of degrees."

The Psalms thus collected into a book are by no means the production of one poet or one age. They stretch through a long period of Jewish history, certainly from the time of Moses to the time of the return from the captivity of Babylon, and probably later, and they are modified by all the varieties incident to the peculiarities of their respective authors; to individual and national history; to the times in which they were composed. So many of them, however, are the composition of David, that it is customary to speak of them as “The Psalms of David,” though it is probable that not much more than half of the psalms in the collection were written by him. Of the 150 psalms comprising the collection, according to the enumeration in the Hebrew manuscripts, not quite one half are usually ascribed to him. According to DeWette, 74; to Kennicott, 66; to DeRossi, 67; to Rosenmuller and Eichhorn, 71; and to Hengstenberg, 80. It is probable, however, that a portion of the psalms to which no name is prefixed in the title - but how great a portion it is impossible now to determine - is the production of David. Still, so many are known to have been composed by him, and he was so eminent as a poet, as to justify the language which is so frequently employed when they are called familiarly “The Psalms of David.”
Hebrews 5:11-6:3, Matthew 6:5-8, Mark 1:21-39, Romans 12:1-2. IN the 10th grade, i was seething in rage. Granny had called my promised truck a dream. So i started hanging out with bad company. Drinking, partying, raging. i was selfish. i was only worried about me. Romans 12:1-2 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. 2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. Peer pressure was wwinning as i rebelled my lying granny, who called my promised truck a dream. Junk was all i could afford. Rust holes everywhere. But it got me in the popular crowd. Matthew 6:5-8 5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Mark 1:21 And they went into Capernaum. The Teacher of humility begins His mission at a town where pride chiefly reigned. Preference is due from ministers to the greatest need, not to the greatest inclination. A minister should always begin by instructing, in imitation of God, who leads men, not by a blind instinct, but by instruction and knowledge, by the external light of His Word, and the internal light of His grace. (Quesnel.) (the field of repentance, or city of comfort) was a beautiful little town, situated on the western shore of the Galilean Lake, a short distance from its head. Though small, it was a very busy and thriving town; the leading highway to the sea from Damascus on the east to Accho or Ptolemais on the Mediterranean on the west, ran through it, thus opening the markets of the coast to the rich yield of the neighbouring farms, orchards, and vineyards, and the abundant returns of the fisheries of the lake. The townsfolk, as a rule, enjoyed the comfort and plenty we see in the houses of Peter and Matthew. The houses were built of black lava, though most of them were relieved of their sombreness by being whitened with lime. The synagogue, however, which was the principal architectural ornament of the town, and which the centurion built and presented to the Jews of the place, was of white limestone, the blocks of stone being large and chiselled, and the cornices, architraves, and friezes of which, as evidenced by the ruins, were finely carved. The streets of the village radiated from the synagogue, and stretched up the gentle slope behind it, the main street running north, to Chorazin, a neighbouring town not far distant. (D. C. Hughes, M. A.) The Synagogue. The synagogue carries us back for its origin to the land of the exile. Cut off from the sacrificial worship of the temple, devout Jews gathered together for prayer and hearing of the law, and little sanctuaries were built for their meetings; and after the return from captivity, though the statelier ritual of the temple was restored, synagogues in towns and villages became an integral part of the ecclesiastical system. They claim our interest, not only from their association with our Lord’s preaching and miracles, but as well from the fact that it was from “the eighteen prayers” which were read therein daily except on the Sabbath, that Jesus drew the chief materials for that which the Christian Church has consecrated for daily use as “the Lord’s Prayer.” Now, of all the synagogues in Palestine, perhaps that at Capernaum is fullest of historic reference. Its erection at the sole expense of a large-hearted Roman soldier had earned for him the affection of the inhabitants, for when his servant was sick they pleaded with Jesus on the grounds that the petitioner was worthy of special consideration, because “he loved the people and built us the synagogue.” The discovery and identification of its ruins in later years have awakened no little attention, and have set at rest a long-standing dispute as to the site of Capernaum. At Tell Hum, on the lake, remains of a synagogue of unusual size and beauty have been excavated, the style of which belongs to the Herodian period of architecture. It appears to have been a common custom to carve over the entrance of these buildings an emblem, which, as far as we know, with a single exception, was “the seven-branched candlestick,” indicating that they were designed mainly for illumination or teaching. The exceptional instance is a Tell Hum. The lintel of the chief doorway has a carving in the centre, of “the pot of manna,” which is encircled with the vine and clusters of grapes. And it is this which enables us to identify “His own city,” as well as the building where He delivered one of His most important discourses … It was in this building that our Lord spent the morning of His first Sabbath day in Galilee, and He taught with such novel power that the people were filled with amazement. They had been used to the teaching of the scribes, with their interminable details and puerilities, and their slavery to traditional interpretation. There was no freedom of thought or speech, no departure even by a hair’s-breadth from the decisions of the doctors, nothing but the dry bones of Rabbinical exposition, and we are not surprised that, when Christ came and spoke with “thoughts that breathed and words that burned,” and drew His illustrations from the sights and sounds in which they lived and moved, the very freshness delighted them, and they exclaimed at the novelty and independence of His teaching. (H. M. Luckock, D. D.)
after my lying Granny called my promised truck a dream, i sought revenge. Revenge might well be called the battle cry of the modern age. Everyone wants to get even or get back or get to someone else. The world is full of inequality & always will be. i devoted my life to leveling the playing field with Granny. This is what i used. i waited till i was a Senior in 23 months to unbuckle & pray for death, go through a window, decade rehab, countless surgeries, nerve damage, speech impairment, limp, etc., etc. Revenge might well be called the battle cry of the modern age. Everyone wants to get even or get back or get to someone else. The world is full of inequality & always will be. There will always be good & bad, rich & poor, famous & unknown. Perhaps, I should riot because I do not have as much as Billy Graham. Perhaps I should kill because everyone does not agree with me. GOD FORBID!!!!  Revenge Forbidden by God Romans 12:17; Recompense to no man evil for evil. Romans 12:17 New International Version (NIV) 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:15; See that none render evil for evil unto any man. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 The Message (MSG) 13-15 Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out. 1 Peter 3:9; Not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing. (Insult) 1 Peter 1:3-9 describes the state of being defined by God’s “great mercy,” which gives us a “new birth into a living hope,” and fait that is “for salvation” (1:3, 5). This new birth leads to two “outcomes,” in the “now” and in the “then.” Now, this new birth leads to rejoicing “with an indescribable and glorious joy.” “First Peter reflects the rapid expansion of the early church in Asia Minor.

The writer explores issues of community, mission, and suffering -- issues these young faith communities may have been facing.”1

Over the next four weeks the Revised Common Lectionary gives us four readings covering most of the first two chapters of 1 Peter. Each of these successive readings from 1 Peter speaks to the shaping of identity in the fledgling Christian community; the first two readings (1:3-9 and 1:17-23) address the source of faith and hope (cf. 1:3-4; 1:21).

In the third selection (2:19-25, which is actually the fourth reading chronologically) speaks to suffering and struggle, appealing both to the example which Christ Jesus set in his own suffering, and to that which is effected by his suffering, forgiveness of and cleansing from sin. Finally in the fourth reading (2:2-10), a pastiche of biblical references is employed to define Peter’s audience, to speak them into being as God’s people.

Each of these four readings contains the fundamental language of faith, spoken by the author of 1 Peter, to establish, to shape, and to grow the early Christian community. Such language, employed for the shaping of Christian identity, is fitting not only for the fledgling life of faith, but for the ongoing, present-day life of faith, and its church.

1 Peter 1:3-9 describes the state of being defined by God’s “great mercy,” which gives us a “new birth into a living hope,” and fait that is “for salvation” (1:3, 5).

This new birth leads to two “outcomes,” in the “now” and in the “then.” Now, this new birth leads to rejoicing “with an indescribable and glorious joy.” Now, new birth is into joy. Then, “the outcome of your faith,” is “the salvation of your souls” (1:9). And it is the promise of the “then” that brings hope and joy into the “now,” most importantly and promisingly into any now that is marked and marred by suffering, by trials, and by testing.

In the midst of 1 Peter 1:3-9 we find a metaphor which captures all of this now/then tension. 1 Peter 1:7 describes a faith that is more precious than gold, but understood through the image of gold. Gold and faith; faith as gold. Faith, like gold, must be refined, tested, and purified; made “genuine” (1:7). This refining of (primarily) the people themselves is a fairly common metaphor in the Bible:

Zechariah 13:9: “And I will put this third into the fire, refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

Malachi 3:2b-3: “But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness.”

Cf. Isaiah 48:10, where the precious metal is silver, but the metaphor essentially the same: “See, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.”

And in Proverbs 17:3 the turn is made more explicit, where the metaphor of refining the people themselves, is taken to the heart of the people: “The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.”

Here in first Peter the metaphor is of the devotion of the heart to God, both as it is refined, and in the joy it produces. This is faith. This is life in Christ. This is what 1 Peter is all about.

Proverbs 24:29; Say not I will do so to him as he hath done to me.
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(29) Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me.—A wonderful anticipation this of New Testament teaching, very different from the spirit of Leviticus 24:19-20. Comp. Proverbs 20:22, and James 2:13, “For he shall have judgment without mercy that shewed no mercy.”

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
24:28,29. There are three defaults in a witness pointed out.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A protest against vindictiveness in every form. Compare marginal reference.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
29. Especially avoid retaliation (Mt 5:43-45; Ro 12:17).
Matthew Poole's Commentary
Say not within thyself; give not way to any such thoughts or passions.

I will render to the man according to his work; I will repay him all his calumnies and injuries.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me,.... He has falsely accused and reproached me, and bore a false testimony, or suborned false witnesses against me, and I will do the same to him, now an opportunity serves; but as private revenge itself is sinful, so especially when it is pursued in a wicked way;
I will render to the man according to his work; this should be left to the Lord, whose prerogative it is; see Proverbs 24:19.

Geneva Study Bible
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I {i} will render to the man according to his work.
(i) He shows what is the nature of the wicked, to revenge wrong for wrong.
When Granny laughed my promised truck was a dream, I gave up on God. Don't Give Up On God
Christians dealing with the story of Lazarus,Mary, & Martha. Don’t give up on God! I did. I unbuckled. I prayed for death. I got I waited till I was a Senior in 23 months to unbuckle & pray for death, go through a window, decade rehab, countless surgeries, nerve damage, speech impairment, limp, etc., etc. I learned about Coming up out of a Dead Situation by being slung all over a car, out a rear window. 27 years later, I'm still cursed by arthritis. John 11:20-23 20 Then Matha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming went & met him: but Mary sat still in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died 22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. I gave up on Jesus. I wish I had quit school to read/write 16/6. The topic deals with a real issue, maintaining our faith. Not giving up on God. So many times in our life, we find that we lose hope, but I’m here to tell you today, Don’t give up on God! There is a reason why you’re going through what you’re going through. You may not even realize it, but God is allowing you to go through this thing for a strengthening season. Oh somebody ought to feel this thing with me up in here because God has given me an awesome word. As I was preparing my sermon for today, I had been fasting a lot last week, preparing for a sermon, not knowing that God was equipping me for the sermon that I had to deliver today. As I began to work on a sermon today, & got it to completion, it came up in my spirit that this was not going to be the sermon that I was to preach on tonight. As the hour grew longer, God began to minister to me, yet again & said Don’t Give up on me! Whew! When I was 16, Dad wanted a truck payment every single day, so after the 6 month coma, countless surgeries, & decade rehab I kept Dad on a guilt trip for the 16th birthday lie till drug dealers killed him. Somebody ought to get excited about that ….someone in here this very night was just about to give up, was just about to let go, but God told me to tell you, Don’t give up on me. God said I know the situation you’re facing now seems unbearable, I know that no one knows what you’re going through, I know that you haven’t spoken a word of this to anyone, but don’t give up! Look at your eighbor & say don’t give up, don’t’ give up, don’t give up! God wants you to know that the waiting period is almost over & all you have to do is reaffirm your faith in him. Not only that, but he wants you to stand on his word like never before. He said there are doors opening up for you right now, there are yokes that are being broken right now, there are binds that has been made for you that has been released right now! God said he knows that your financial situation is in turmoil right now, & that you’re writing checks that has been bouncing left & right, because you thought the money you were looking for would have been here to cover those expenses…but God said Don’t give up. He said he knows how you’ve labored he knows how you’ve prayed, he knows the sleepless nights that you’ve spent, praying, fasting, crying out to him, kneeling praying, laying prostate! God said HE KNOWS!!!! I was outweighed by vengeance on my lying granny more than giving up on God. I was disappointed I had faith my truck would be received when it wasn't. I was told if I had faith I'd get the truck. I was railroaded. He said don’t give up! There’s a reason for the delay in the breakthrough, there’s a reason for the slow release…because you were just like an impregnated mother…but you had to go through the growing process & make sure that when your breakthrough comes, that it will be a healthy one. In other words, not something that he’s going to set you free for a minute, but for a lifetime! Now tell your neighbor, Don’t give up on God! The story of Lazarus, & how he had fallen ill. It would seem, in verse 4 of the text, that Jesus had prophesied that the illness would not result in Lazarus’ death, but rather a revelation by God of Jesus’ true Glory. So inspite of Lazarus’ illness, Jesus delayed his departure for two days & stayed in the city where he was. Fast forwarding a little bit, the journey back to Bethany was a 4 day journey, & on their way back, Jesus let his disciples know that Lazarus had died. I may be a world-renowned spiritual growth writer if I had quit school to write+read 16/6. I'd have a better chance than not doing it at all. This is how we get sometimes as we are working on our Christian journey…we begin to have a great need for Jesus & we cry out to Jesus, & we’re hoping & praying that Jesus will go ahead & make a way for us, but Jesus is coming in his own perfect timing. & don’t you know that he may not come when you want him, but he is always on time!!! So as they journeyed back, Martha, Lazarus’ sister met Jesus, & told him, Lord if you had been her, my brother would not have died. But Jesus told her that your brother will rise again.
I awoke thinking about my losing my virginity with a wife. for that i am a creep. i decided to write a Bible paper about my guilt.
What does the Bible say about Cheating? Discover the top Bible verses about Cheating from the Old and New Testaments. Read through the biblical references of Cheating to learn more about its meaning and significance. May you find some insight from these related scripture quotes! saying, “When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?”— skimping on the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, “You shall not commit adultery. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! “ ‘Do not steal. “ ‘Do not lie. “ ‘Do not deceive one another. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away. Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king,” says the LORD Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the nations. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel. “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices “ ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Diligence is defined by Google as careful and persistent work or effort. The bible speaks to us about Diligence too.
I believe diligence is a fundamental part of life, and we must be diligent in everything we do so that we do it with purpose and not just with a fleeting robotic attitude.
I have a tendency to be a “lazy lifer”. Meaning, it is easy for me to just “go-with-it” and take each day as it comes.
No purpose, no direction, no reason.
But I’m working towards being intentional and purposeful in everything I do.
These verses are a constant encouragement for me, I hope they are for you too.

Bible Verses About War
War is a very recurrent theme and literal event all through the Biblical times. Nations that went to battle without the favor of God rarely claimed victory. Conversely, the favor was given to those who trusted in God and sought to fight for just reasons. Below is a list of scripture passages with the many references to war occurring throughout the Bible.

Spiritual Warfare Scriptures
What does the Bible say about Spiritual Warfare?

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 discusses the warfare of spirit, saying "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

The most important battle we will fight is not physical or mental. It is the spiritual warfare we undergo as devoted followers of God when the strength and conviction of our faith are continuously tested. In this battle, we face not only external forces but the thoughts and passions within ourselves that may stray from the path of righteousness. Thankfully we can look to the wisdom of scripture and the Armor of God to encourage us in this spiritual war.

Read additional Bible verses about Spiritual Warfare in this collection of scripture quotes! May you be strong in the soulful fight for good!

 i woke up & thought about a recent interview with Fox News. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry stated that Donald Trump was chosen by God to be president. I am absolutely sure dt won't get reelected with coronavirus. He said throughout history God had picked “imperfect people” such as King David or Solomon to lead their people. I feel the same way about me. I feel like I was chosen by God. Perry is not alone. A large number of evangelical Christians in the U.S. believe that God has chosen Donald Trump to advance the kingdom of God on Earth. Several high-profile religious leaders have made similar claims, often comparing Trump to King Cyrus who was asked by God to rescue the nation of Israel from exile in Babylon. In the latter 90s, i read a book on dt. He is unbelievably educated. i only had 2 years college before God called me to write for lulu.com. Many of these Christians are part of a movement that we call “Independent Network Charismatic,” or “INC Christianity” in our 2017 book. Leaders such Rick Perry are connected to this movement. Eight years ago – in August of 2011 – more than 30,000 people cheered wildly when Perry, who was then a U.S. presidential candidate and Texas governor, came center stage at “The Response: A Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis” at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Perry quoted from the Bible and preached about the need for salvation that comes from Jesus. Many of the leaders who organized this event are the same leaders who claim that Trump is God’s chosen to advance the Kingdom of God.

We argue that INC Christianity is significantly changing the religious landscape in America – and the nation’s politics.

Here is what we found about INC
INC Christianity is led by a network of popular independent religious entrepreneurs, often referred to by their followers as “apostles.” They have close ties, we found, to some conservative politicians, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry and more recently President Donald Trump.

Charismatic Christians emphasize supernatural miracles and divine interventions, but INC Christianity is different from other charismatics – and other Christian denominations in general – in the following ways:

It is not focused primarily on building congregations but rather on spreading beliefs and practices through media, conferences and ministry schools.
It is not so much about proselytizing to unbelievers as it is about transforming society through placing Christian believers in powerful positions in all sectors of society.
It is organized as a network of independent leaders rather than as formally organized denominations.
Finding followers
INC Christianity is the fastest-growing Christian group in America and possibly around the world. Over the 40 years from 1970 to 2010, the number of regular attenders of Protestant churches as a whole shrunk by an average of .05% per year, while independent neo-charismatic congregations, the category that includes INC groups, grew by an average of 3.24% per year.

Its impact, however, is much greater than can be measured in church attendance. This is because INC Christianity is not centrally concerned with building congregations, but spreading beliefs and practices.


Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, California. Kevin Shorter, CC BY
The influence of INC Christianity can be seen in the millions of hits on many of their web-based media sites, large turnouts at stadium rallies and conferences and millions of dollars in media sales.

In interviews, leaders of Bethel, an INC ministry based in Redding, California, claimed to have had an income of US$8.4 million in media sales in 2013. This included music, books, DVDs and web-based content. Another $7 million came from tuition to the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.

Sean Feucht, one of Bethel’s popular musicians and worship leaders, is now running for Congress in California’s Third Congressional District.

Appeal of INC
As part of our research, we conducted in-depth interviews with senior leaders, staff and current and former participants in INC Christian ministries. We also conducted supplementary interviews with Christian leaders and scholars with knowledge of the changing religious landscape and attended conferences, numerous church services, ministry school sessions, healing sessions and exorcisms. In all, we conducted 41 in-depth interviews.

Our primary conclusion is that the growth of these groups is largely the result of the informal way in which the network is governed. When compared to the oversight and accountability of formal congregations and denominations, the network allows for more experimentation. This includes “extreme” experiences of the supernatural, unorthodox beliefs and practices, and financing as well as marketing techniques that leverage the power of the internet.

We also witnessed the appeal of INC Christianity, particularly among young people. We saw the thrill of holding impromptu supernatural healing sessions in the emergency room of a large public hospital, the intrigue of ministry school class sessions devoted to the techniques of casting out demonic spirits and the adventure of teams of young people going out into public places, seeking direct guidance from God as to whom to heal or to relay specific divine messages.

‘Seven mountains of culture’
Most Christian groups in America have seen the role of the church as connecting individuals to God through the saving grace of Jesus and building congregations that provide communities of meaning and belonging through worship services.

They also believe in serving and providing for the needs their local communities. Such traditional Christian groups believe that although the world can be improved, it will not be restored to God’s original plan until Jesus comes back again to rule the Earth.

Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. ...

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
The apostle reminds us that Christian life—married or not—isn't about personal fulfillment. That speaks to me. 225 rejectors turned me off. I want to be alone. Getting the house to myself showed me that. It is human tendency to create & pursue idols. Much like Adam & Eve, all humans long for some object that lies on the other side of a veil of prohibition (like a magician’s curtain). Because this object is inaccessible to us, we invest it with a kind of religious significance, revering it as sacred. As a result, in our daily lives we operate with the assumption that if we could somehow obtain the object of our desire, it would provide us with the kind of wholeness & well-being that we seek. In my 20s, I sdaily prayed for a wife. In my 40s, I'm daily praying to stay single. But Jesus pulls the magician’s curtain back to reveal the truth: our sacred object is an illusion. & it always has been. There is nothing behind the curtain that will ever fulfill us. In fact, the “lack” that marks our lives—the “emptiness” we obsessively attempt to fill—is actually created by the very object that we seek. It started when I broke down 7 days a week after Granny lied & called a promised truck a dream. It badly ruined my grades not able to do my homework or study. So I unbuckled & prayed for death. So even when what is sought for is obtained, our experience of the fulfillment it provides is profoundly unfulfilling. Thus for Jesus to say that marriage & sex are not part of resurrection life is not to make a once substantive reality disappear. Instead, it is to reveal to us that our sacred object never actually existed in the first place. I feel whole among aloneness. My dream home is an RV where I regularly submit articles. I am a 45m who lives with his mom. I want to be single. The 225 rejections were unreal pain.
I am working on myself. Being the best spiritual growth writer is my goal. My pride needs worked on. As a matter of fact, my 225 rejecters laid out my path with 225 detours. Let me get my pride out the way. Is there any trait more deceptive? Is there any vice easier to see in others, but harder to see in ourselves? I see pride in the 225 rejecters. We despise its presence in them, but defend its presence in us. It is the ugly trait of pride, one of a number of traits for which God has a special disgust. My limp makes me look like I'm strutting. Well, I intentionally strut to cover my limp. Here are some things God says he hates, he despises, or he considers an abomination. We have already seen that God hates idolatry, sexual immorality, injustice, hypocrisy, & deceit. Today we will look at God’s hatred for pride. I feel like I'm in trouble. I am gay!
God Hates Pride. “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him.” So says wise old Solomon. & heading up the list of these seven deadly sins is “haughty eyes” (Proverbs 6:16-17). Haughty eyes are an arrogant man’s windows to the world. I got up to read 12:14a. But it's so boring. Then I thought of writing this paper. From the lofty perch of the proud's own superiority, he uses them to look down upon others. From his self-made pedestal, he fancies he can see with greater clarity than his Creator. I am proud of stopping my wheelchair & walking in front of 2,000 people, published for 1,000s. The coma I came out of was unreal, said my brain surgeon.

Later, Solomon lowers his gaze from the eyes to the heart. “Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 16:5). Instead of harboring thoughts of love to others, the proud man harbors judgment & bitterness. Instead of expressing kindness & compassion, he expresses disparagement. He is convinced of his superiority in achievement, intellect, morality, or spirituality. He is self-obsessed. Since I want to be a huge spiritual growth writer, I better be careful. I have never had a serious relationship. God told me to make my rejectors history. He & I were at the altar.

Pride is first an attitude of independence from God. It is synonymous in Scripture with scoffing, arrogance, foolishness, evil, & wickedness. It is directly opposed to the humble, God-fearing, meek, lowly, trusting, faith-filled disposition that is pleasing to God. “Pride & arrogance & the way of evil & perverted speech I hate,” he says (Proverbs 8:13). & no wonder. How could it be otherwise? When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished. In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. By insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter, Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?” Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. “Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride. For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit. It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory. And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. The Lord of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pompous pride of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord. In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble. Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. For the Lord of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low; The horror you inspire has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, you who live in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as the eagle's, I will bring you down from there, declares the Lord. “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and

To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...

after my lying Granny called my promised truck a dream, i sought revenge. Revenge might well be called the battle cry of the modern age. Everyone wants to get even or get back or get to someone else. The world is full of inequality & always will be. i devoted my life to leveling the playing field with Granny. This is what i used. i waited till i was a Senior in 23 months to unbuckle & pray for death, go through a window, decade rehab, countless surgeries, nerve damage, speech impairment, limp, etc., etc. Revenge might well be called the battle cry of the modern age. Everyone wants to get even or get back or get to someone else. The world is full of inequality & always will be. There will always be good & bad, rich & poor, famous & unknown. Perhaps, I should riot because I do not have as much as Billy Graham. Perhaps I should kill because everyone does not agree with me. GOD FORBID!!!!  Revenge Forbidden by God Romans 12:17; Recompense to no man evil for evil. Romans 12:17 New International Version (NIV) 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:15; See that none render evil for evil unto any man. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 The Message (MSG) 13-15 Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out. 1 Peter 3:9; Not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing. (Insult) 1 Peter 1:3-9 describes the state of being defined by God’s “great mercy,” which gives us a “new birth into a living hope,” and fait that is “for salvation” (1:3, 5). This new birth leads to two “outcomes,” in the “now” and in the “then.” Now, this new birth leads to rejoicing “with an indescribable and glorious joy.” “First Peter reflects the rapid expansion of the early church in Asia Minor.

The writer explores issues of community, mission, and suffering -- issues these young faith communities may have been facing.”1

Over the next four weeks the Revised Common Lectionary gives us four readings covering most of the first two chapters of 1 Peter. Each of these successive readings from 1 Peter speaks to the shaping of identity in the fledgling Christian community; the first two readings (1:3-9 and 1:17-23) address the source of faith and hope (cf. 1:3-4; 1:21).

In the third selection (2:19-25, which is actually the fourth reading chronologically) speaks to suffering and struggle, appealing both to the example which Christ Jesus set in his own suffering, and to that which is effected by his suffering, forgiveness of and cleansing from sin. Finally in the fourth reading (2:2-10), a pastiche of biblical references is employed to define Peter’s audience, to speak them into being as God’s people.

Each of these four readings contains the fundamental language of faith, spoken by the author of 1 Peter, to establish, to shape, and to grow the early Christian community. Such language, employed for the shaping of Christian identity, is fitting not only for the fledgling life of faith, but for the ongoing, present-day life of faith, and its church.

1 Peter 1:3-9 describes the state of being defined by God’s “great mercy,” which gives us a “new birth into a living hope,” and fait that is “for salvation” (1:3, 5).

This new birth leads to two “outcomes,” in the “now” and in the “then.” Now, this new birth leads to rejoicing “with an indescribable and glorious joy.” Now, new birth is into joy. Then, “the outcome of your faith,” is “the salvation of your souls” (1:9). And it is the promise of the “then” that brings hope and joy into the “now,” most importantly and promisingly into any now that is marked and marred by suffering, by trials, and by testing.

In the midst of 1 Peter 1:3-9 we find a metaphor which captures all of this now/then tension. 1 Peter 1:7 describes a faith that is more precious than gold, but understood through the image of gold. Gold and faith; faith as gold. Faith, like gold, must be refined, tested, and purified; made “genuine” (1:7). This refining of (primarily) the people themselves is a fairly common metaphor in the Bible:

Zechariah 13:9: “And I will put this third into the fire, refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

Malachi 3:2b-3: “But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness.”

Cf. Isaiah 48:10, where the precious metal is silver, but the metaphor essentially the same: “See, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.”

And in Proverbs 17:3 the turn is made more explicit, where the metaphor of refining the people themselves, is taken to the heart of the people: “The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.”

Here in first Peter the metaphor is of the devotion of the heart to God, both as it is refined, and in the joy it produces. This is faith. This is life in Christ. This is what 1 Peter is all about.

When Granny laughed my promised truck was a dream, I gave up on God. Don't Give Up On God
Christians dealing with the story of Lazarus,Mary, & Martha. Don’t give up on God! I did. I unbuckled. I prayed for death. I got I waited till I was a Senior in 23 months to unbuckle & pray for death, go through a window, decade rehab, countless surgeries, nerve damage, speech impairment, limp, etc., etc. I learned about Coming up out of a Dead Situation by being slung all over a car, out a rear window. 27 years later, I'm still cursed by arthritis. John 11:20-23 20 Then Matha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming went & met him: but Mary sat still in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died 22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. I gave up on Jesus. I wish I had quit school to read/write 16/6. The topic deals with a real issue, maintaining our faith. Not giving up on God. So many times in our life, we find that we lose hope, but I’m here to tell you today, Don’t give up on God! There is a reason why you’re going through what you’re going through. You may not even realize it, but God is allowing you to go through this thing for a strengthening season. Oh somebody ought to feel this thing with me up in here because God has given me an awesome word. As I was preparing my sermon for today, I had been fasting a lot last week, preparing for a sermon, not knowing that God was equipping me for the sermon that I had to deliver today. As I began to work on a sermon today, & got it to completion, it came up in my spirit that this was not going to be the sermon that I was to preach on tonight. As the hour grew longer, God began to minister to me, yet again & said Don’t Give up on me! Whew! When I was 16, Dad wanted a truck payment every single day, so after the 6 month coma, countless surgeries, & decade rehab I kept Dad on a guilt trip for the 16th birthday lie till drug dealers killed him. Somebody ought to get excited about that ….someone in here this very night was just about to give up, was just about to let go, but God told me to tell you, Don’t give up on me. God said I know the situation you’re facing now seems unbearable, I know that no one knows what you’re going through, I know that you haven’t spoken a word of this to anyone, but don’t give up! Look at your eighbor & say don’t give up, don’t’ give up, don’t give up! God wants you to know that the waiting period is almost over & all you have to do is reaffirm your faith in him. Not only that, but he wants you to stand on his word like never before. He said there are doors opening up for you right now, there are yokes that are being broken right now, there are binds that has been made for you that has been released right now! God said he knows that your financial situation is in turmoil right now, & that you’re writing checks that has been bouncing left & right, because you thought the money you were looking for would have been here to cover those expenses…but God said Don’t give up. He said he knows how you’ve labored he knows how you’ve prayed, he knows the sleepless nights that you’ve spent, praying, fasting, crying out to him, kneeling praying, laying prostate! God said HE KNOWS!!!! I was outweighed by vengeance on my lying granny more than giving up on God. I was disappointed I had faith my truck would be received when it wasn't. I was told if I had faith I'd get the truck. I was railroaded. He said don’t give up! There’s a reason for the delay in the breakthrough, there’s a reason for the slow release…because you were just like an impregnated mother…but you had to go through the growing process & make sure that when your breakthrough comes, that it will be a healthy one. In other words, not something that he’s going to set you free for a minute, but for a lifetime! Now tell your neighbor, Don’t give up on God! The story of Lazarus, & how he had fallen ill. It would seem, in verse 4 of the text, that Jesus had prophesied that the illness would not result in Lazarus’ death, but rather a revelation by God of Jesus’ true Glory. So inspite of Lazarus’ illness, Jesus delayed his departure for two days & stayed in the city where he was. Fast forwarding a little bit, the journey back to Bethany was a 4 day journey, & on their way back, Jesus let his disciples know that Lazarus had died. I may be a world-renowned spiritual growth writer if I had quit school to write+read 16/6. I'd have a better chance than not doing it at all. This is how we get sometimes as we are working on our Christian journey…we begin to have a great need for Jesus & we cry out to Jesus, & we’re hoping & praying that Jesus will go ahead & make a way for us, but Jesus is coming in his own perfect timing. & don’t you know that he may not come when you want him, but he is always on time!!! So as they journeyed back, Martha, Lazarus’ sister met Jesus, & told him, Lord if you had been her, my brother would not have died. But Jesus told her that your brother will rise again.

What does the Bible say about Cheating? Discover the top Bible verses about Cheating from the Old and New Testaments. Read through the biblical references of Cheating to learn more about its meaning and significance. May you find some insight from these related scripture quotes! saying, “When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?”— skimping on the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, “You shall not commit adultery. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! “ ‘Do not steal. “ ‘Do not lie. “ ‘Do not deceive one another. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away. Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king,” says the LORD Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the nations. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel. “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices “ ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Diligence is defined by Google as careful and persistent work or effort. The bible speaks to us about Diligence too.
I believe diligence is a fundamental part of life, and we must be diligent in everything we do so that we do it with purpose and not just with a fleeting robotic attitude.
I have a tendency to be a “lazy lifer”. Meaning, it is easy for me to just “go-with-it” and take each day as it comes.
No purpose, no direction, no reason.
But I’m working towards being intentional and purposeful in everything I do.
These verses are a constant encouragement for me, I hope they are for you too.

Bible Verses About War
War is a very recurrent theme and literal event all through the Biblical times. Nations that went to battle without the favor of God rarely claimed victory. Conversely, the favor was given to those who trusted in God and sought to fight for just reasons. Below is a list of scripture passages with the many references to war occurring throughout the Bible.

Spiritual Warfare Scriptures
What does the Bible say about Spiritual Warfare?

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 discusses the warfare of spirit, saying "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

The most important battle we will fight is not physical or mental. It is the spiritual warfare we undergo as devoted followers of God when the strength and conviction of our faith are continuously tested. In this battle, we face not only external forces but the thoughts and passions within ourselves that may stray from the path of righteousness. Thankfully we can look to the wisdom of scripture and the Armor of God to encourage us in this spiritual war.

Read additional Bible verses about Spiritual Warfare in this collection of scripture quotes! May you be strong in the soulful fight for good!

 i woke up & thought about a recent interview with Fox News. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry stated that Donald Trump was chosen by God to be president. I am absolutely sure dt won't get reelected with coronavirus. He said throughout history God had picked “imperfect people” such as King David or Solomon to lead their people. I feel the same way about me. I feel like I was chosen by God. Perry is not alone. A large number of evangelical Christians in the U.S. believe that God has chosen Donald Trump to advance the kingdom of God on Earth. Several high-profile religious leaders have made similar claims, often comparing Trump to King Cyrus who was asked by God to rescue the nation of Israel from exile in Babylon. In the latter 90s, i read a book on dt. He is unbelievably educated. i only had 2 years college before God called me to write for lulu.com. Many of these Christians are part of a movement that we call “Independent Network Charismatic,” or “INC Christianity” in our 2017 book. Leaders such Rick Perry are connected to this movement. Eight years ago – in August of 2011 – more than 30,000 people cheered wildly when Perry, who was then a U.S. presidential candidate and Texas governor, came center stage at “The Response: A Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis” at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Perry quoted from the Bible and preached about the need for salvation that comes from Jesus. Many of the leaders who organized this event are the same leaders who claim that Trump is God’s chosen to advance the Kingdom of God.

We argue that INC Christianity is significantly changing the religious landscape in America – and the nation’s politics.

Here is what we found about INC
INC Christianity is led by a network of popular independent religious entrepreneurs, often referred to by their followers as “apostles.” They have close ties, we found, to some conservative politicians, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry and more recently President Donald Trump.

Charismatic Christians emphasize supernatural miracles and divine interventions, but INC Christianity is different from other charismatics – and other Christian denominations in general – in the following ways:

It is not focused primarily on building congregations but rather on spreading beliefs and practices through media, conferences and ministry schools.
It is not so much about proselytizing to unbelievers as it is about transforming society through placing Christian believers in powerful positions in all sectors of society.
It is organized as a network of independent leaders rather than as formally organized denominations.
Finding followers
INC Christianity is the fastest-growing Christian group in America and possibly around the world. Over the 40 years from 1970 to 2010, the number of regular attenders of Protestant churches as a whole shrunk by an average of .05% per year, while independent neo-charismatic congregations, the category that includes INC groups, grew by an average of 3.24% per year.

Its impact, however, is much greater than can be measured in church attendance. This is because INC Christianity is not centrally concerned with building congregations, but spreading beliefs and practices.

The influence of INC Christianity can be seen in the millions of hits on many of their web-based media sites, large turnouts at stadium rallies and conferences and millions of dollars in media sales.

In interviews, leaders of Bethel, an INC ministry based in Redding, California, claimed to have had an income of US$8.4 million in media sales in 2013. This included music, books, DVDs and web-based content. Another $7 million came from tuition to the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.

Sean Feucht, one of Bethel’s popular musicians and worship leaders, is now running for Congress in California’s Third Congressional District.

Appeal of INC
As part of our research, we conducted in-depth interviews with senior leaders, staff and current and former participants in INC Christian ministries. We also conducted supplementary interviews with Christian leaders and scholars with knowledge of the changing religious landscape and attended conferences, numerous church services, ministry school sessions, healing sessions and exorcisms. In all, we conducted 41 in-depth interviews.

Our primary conclusion is that the growth of these groups is largely the result of the informal way in which the network is governed. When compared to the oversight and accountability of formal congregations and denominations, the network allows for more experimentation. This includes “extreme” experiences of the supernatural, unorthodox beliefs and practices, and financing as well as marketing techniques that leverage the power of the internet.

We also witnessed the appeal of INC Christianity, particularly among young people. We saw the thrill of holding impromptu supernatural healing sessions in the emergency room of a large public hospital, the intrigue of ministry school class sessions devoted to the techniques of casting out demonic spirits and the adventure of teams of young people going out into public places, seeking direct guidance from God as to whom to heal or to relay specific divine messages.

‘Seven mountains of culture’
Most Christian groups in America have seen the role of the church as connecting individuals to God through the saving grace of Jesus and building congregations that provide communities of meaning and belonging through worship services.

They also believe in serving and providing for the needs their local communities. Such traditional Christian groups believe that although the world can be improved, it will not be restored to God’s original plan until Jesus comes back again to rule the Earth.

Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. ...

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
The apostle reminds us that Christian life—married or not—isn't about personal fulfillment. That speaks to me. 225 rejectors turned me off. I want to be alone. Getting the house to myself showed me that. It is human tendency to create & pursue idols. Much like Adam & Eve, all humans long for some object that lies on the other side of a veil of prohibition (like a magician’s curtain). Because this object is inaccessible to us, we invest it with a kind of religious significance, revering it as sacred. As a result, in our daily lives we operate with the assumption that if we could somehow obtain the object of our desire, it would provide us with the kind of wholeness & well-being that we seek. In my 20s, I sdaily prayed for a wife. In my 40s, I'm daily praying to stay single. But Jesus pulls the magician’s curtain back to reveal the truth: our sacred object is an illusion. & it always has been. There is nothing behind the curtain that will ever fulfill us. In fact, the “lack” that marks our lives—the “emptiness” we obsessively attempt to fill—is actually created by the very object that we seek. It started when I broke down 7 days a week after Granny lied & called a promised truck a dream. It badly ruined my grades not able to do my homework or study. So I unbuckled & prayed for death. So even when what is sought for is obtained, our experience of the fulfillment it provides is profoundly unfulfilling. Thus for Jesus to say that marriage & sex are not part of resurrection life is not to make a once substantive reality disappear. Instead, it is to reveal to us that our sacred object never actually existed in the first place. I feel whole among aloneness. My dream home is an RV where I regularly submit articles. I am a 45m who lives with his mom. I want to be single. The 225 rejections were unreal pain.
I am working on myself. Being the best spiritual growth writer is my goal. My pride needs worked on. As a matter of fact, my 225 rejecters laid out my path with 225 detours. Let me get my pride out the way. Is there any trait more deceptive? Is there any vice easier to see in others, but harder to see in ourselves? I see pride in the 225 rejecters. We despise its presence in them, but defend its presence in us. It is the ugly trait of pride, one of a number of traits for which God has a special disgust. My limp makes me look like I'm strutting. Well, I intentionally strut to cover my limp. Here are some things God says he hates, he despises, or he considers an abomination. We have already seen that God hates idolatry, sexual immorality, injustice, hypocrisy, & deceit. Today we will look at God’s hatred for pride. I feel like I'm in trouble. I am gay!
God Hates Pride. “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him.” So says wise old Solomon. & heading up the list of these seven deadly sins is “haughty eyes” (Proverbs 6:16-17). Haughty eyes are an arrogant man’s windows to the world. I got up to read 12:14a. But it's so boring. Then I thought of writing this paper. From the lofty perch of the proud's own superiority, he uses them to look down upon others. From his self-made pedestal, he fancies he can see with greater clarity than his Creator. I am proud of stopping my wheelchair & walking in front of 2,000 people, published for 1,000s. The coma I came out of was unreal, said my brain surgeon.

Later, Solomon lowers his gaze from the eyes to the heart. “Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 16:5). Instead of harboring thoughts of love to others, the proud man harbors judgment & bitterness. Instead of expressing kindness & compassion, he expresses disparagement. He is convinced of his superiority in achievement, intellect, morality, or spirituality. He is self-obsessed. Since I want to be a huge spiritual growth writer, I better be careful. I have never had a serious relationship. God told me to make my rejectors history. He & I were at the altar.

Pride is first an attitude of independence from God. It is synonymous in Scripture with scoffing, arrogance, foolishness, evil, & wickedness. It is directly opposed to the humble, God-fearing, meek, lowly, trusting, faith-filled disposition that is pleasing to God. “Pride & arrogance & the way of evil & perverted speech I hate,” he says (Proverbs 8:13). & no wonder. How could it be otherwise? When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished. In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. By insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter, Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?” Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. “Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride. For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit. It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory. And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. The Lord of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pompous pride of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord. In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble. Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. For the Lord of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low; The horror you inspire has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, you who live in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as the eagle's, I will bring you down from there, declares the Lord. “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and

To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...
