Remember Shiloh...
The temple in Shiloh burnt by fire after 369 years
Solomon's temple destroyed on Sabbath's end after 410 years just as the priests were reciting Psalm 94:23
2nd temple destroyed by fire after 420 years just as Christ prophecied.
Why? Because God remembers...
What? Corrupt leaders and priests bleeding the people of money and interfering with temple worship.
Don't think God does not see or will fail to take action.

Hello again. #GoodRelationships
So far we explored the purpose of 3 emotions: #anger #fear #sadness
Let's explore 3 more:
#excitement James 1:17
#loneliness Proverbs 18:24
#happiness 1 Thessalonians 5:16,18
Excitement reminds us that God is the source of all that is good.
Loneliness reminds us to make and keep good friends.
Happiness reminds us to be thankful to God.
These 3 feelings were expressed in Hannah's life.

In this series I explore #ethical issues in a biblical context.
In examining the world of work, what are my responsibilities as an ambassador of Christ?

In this series I explore #ethical issues in a biblical context.
Since we are being bombarded on every side at a fast pace, it is good to keep a whole scripture approach in view.
#ethics #suicide #euthanasia #IVF #Abortion #capitalpunishment
These problems may have many contributing layers but cannot be resolved without addressing the underlying root sin of #idolatry. The spiritual realm takes precedence over all other areas.
God honours the prayer of the righteous (James 5:14-18). Until the root of #idolatry is dealt with, one problem might be prayed away but another two pop up like pop corn.
Only a #relationship with the Living Christ can free a person from idolatry.
The evil fruit of #idolatry are like ripe fruit if these problems are found in your life.
If not yet present they are like green fruit.
A traumatic experience is enough to move fruit from green stage to ripe stage. Traumatic events trigger the ripening of the fruit.
Understand these problems only occur if the root of #idolatry is present in a person's life.
Some persons struggle with idolatry because of:
Family of origin
Ancestral practices
Religious beliefs/practices
Culture
Choice
Inaccurate view of self
Ingratitude (Romans 1) etc.
Matthew 7:18-20 applies here.
The root sin of #idolatry is always present if you observe these fruit.
Are you living with the consequences of #idolatry?
Consequences are not judgement/punishment (Jude 14,15).
It is still the acceptable year of the Lord (Isaiah 61:2).
Consequences are the harvest of our choices (Galatians 6:7,8; Hosea 8:7).
Negative consequences are designed by God to be corrective (Hebrews 12:5,11).
The list below is not exhaustive.
There are 3 ways to violate the 1st rule of building #GoodRelationships. Each way automatically leads to demonic bondage.
#idolatry
#Resurrection #Passover #Easter
Sometimes limited knowledge is the real division...
May the eyes of our understanding be enlightened so that we can function as the unified Church we are.
#Passover #Easter #Resurrection
Christ fulfilled the requirements of the #Passoverlamb.
#Passover #Resurrection #Easter
This Resurrection may the Lamb be seen and understood.
#GoodRelationships need a healthy input from my emotions.
Sadness says something or someone valuable has been lost.
Feelings are good. If I don't know what my feelings are telling me I will experience stress in my #relationships.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Explains how a relationship with the living #Christ helps me in grief.
No emotion should control a person's life! Self-control, that wonderful fruit of the Holy Spirit, is added to the believer's life as part of a process (Galatians 5:22,23; 2Peter 1:5-15).
In demonic bondage there is no self-control. Here demons are in control. Deliverance through Christ the Messiah returns self-control to the person.
When self-control operatesin a life that person can better regulate the entire body including the feelings (1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Corinthians 14:32,33).
Fear says be careful, show respect, danger is near.
#Fellowship fails when discipleship is failing.
The Jewish model and the First Century model of discipleship allowed Rav's and their disciples to live, travel, and learn together. Due to this the fellowship experience was richer.
