A Shameless Appeal

For some time now, I have done a fair amount of extra work to help out the CleanInter.net company. Mainly, I sought out affiliate relationships with many online services and set up links to them on the CleanInter.net homepage. I recently used one of those links and got a great deal myself. I then happened to see how much $$$ the service passed along to CleanInter.net and it is a great program for CleanInter.net to be affiliated with.

Anyway, you can save a huge amount of money on long distance calls (especially international ones) by using this company. It also helps out my friends at CleanInter.net if you use this link to go there. Check it out; there are many options.

Who Gets Treated in Which Way?

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

AND

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: (Luke 15:21-23)

 

 

Came across this this week…

A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
(Malachi 1:6)

 

 

Psalm Twenty-three

A Fix or a Start

Many people look at significant spiritual events in their lives as a time when they “got things right” and think that that event will fix all their problems.  I’ve never seen things work out this way.  Young people “get saved again,” “rededicate their lives,” “surrender to the Lord’s will.”  Anyone that looks at life this way is missing the Bible truth that Christianity is a walk, not an event.  If you needed the gospel, you still need the gospel.  If you needed to surrender, you still need to surrender.  If you needed to communicate, you still need to communicate.  Doing what you should do once doesn’t fix the problem, it’s just the start.  If you stop after once, you’ll go right back and eventually fail and have to get another “fix” later on.

In Proverbs these two are brothers.  It must be really bad if these traits are in the same person.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.  Proverbs 18:9

Psalm Fifteen

Psalm 3

A Principle as an Aside

It sometimes amazes me what you can learn from truth that is not even the main point of the passage you read in the Bible.  Here’s a truth that goes against the common conservative wisdom, but it’s right there in the Scriptures.  So, I wonder…  common conservative wisdom OR Scripture?  What should you follow?  How will you have to change your thoughts or actions to obey the Bible?

Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. (2 Corinthians 12:14)

 

 

And the greatest of these…

Think of the Corinthians Christians.  Remember what scathing letters Paul wrote to them.  Now, without looking, what is the topic of the last thing Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians?
