LESSON FOR WEEK
(Aug 29 - Sept 4)
It's Important To Know God's Word
Scripture
relating to the lesson
John
10:1-5
:1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that entereth not by the door unto
the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber.
: But he
that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
:3 To
him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his
own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
:4
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him; for they know his voice.
:5
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they
know not the voice of strangers.
Jesus
tells us plainly here that there will be those that will portray
themselves as leaders: ministers, pastors, teachers, with no thought of
caring for those he, or she will be leading, except to take money or
other goods from them. Jesus calls them thieves and robbers. These
so-called leaders are after one thing: satisfying the lust in them,
whether it be money, the flesh, or whatever they have in mind. So,
knowing there will be many, and, we will face them, Jesus is warning us
beforehand. That's why it's so important to know God's Word.
Jesus
tells us in I John, 4:1 "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because false prophets are gone out into the
world." Which means you can't believe every one that says: "I'm called
by God to teach or preach. Reading, and asking Jesus for a clear
understanding of His Word, makes it easy to spot those not teaching, and
practicing, in their interaction with people, the true meaning of God's
Word. When Jesus tells us to try the spirit, He's saying compare what is
being said to the word of God. If there's a difference, then, God's Word
takes president. In other words, believe God's Word over what's being
said. But, you can't do that if you don't know God's Word.
Not knowing
God's word puts you at risk of being led by a stranger (thief, or
robber--a crook). Jesus told us that if we know His Word we will flee
from those, teaching false doctrines. You hear his word, and follow him.
That is you know his word, and pattern your life after it. And you do
not practice false doctrines.
In these
times when there are so many false prophets out to get hired by
churches, it is imperative that those who are called by God's Name, know
the Word of God and live it. Many congregations are being deceived by
"hired crooks," posing as ministers of Jesus Christ. Don't let yourself
get caught up in these scams. Try the spirits, whether they are of God.
Thanks for stopping by.
Through the Mercy of Our God, I'll be back with you next week.

A family is the building block
of society; thus, families are the building blocks of a nation. No
nation can be any stronger than the families comprising it.
As goes the families, so goes
the nation. Any nation wishing to become, or remain strong, must be
build on a foundation of strong, united families.
This book, "Building Blocks of
Society" outlines: what constitute a strong, united family, with
valuable information on making families, strong, and united.
Building Blocks of Society,
covers, not just immediate families, but extended families as well. It
is a must read, for planning, and making that next family reunion,
united, loving, cooperative, understanding, and enjoyable, with loving
memories that will last a life time.

Incest, can devastate a family. Eyes They Didn't
See, is a must read for anyone wishing to avoid a cataclysm in the
family.
It's been discussed for ages. I've seen the pain it
causes, the families it broke up. The lives it destroyed, the
devastation left in its wake. It's a rot that eats away the moral fiver
of one's being. It knows no race, it has no boundaries--It's incest! And
while parents may work to prevent it, it still occurs because it begin
with illicit affairs--acts done in secret without regard for the
irreparable damage it can and does bring upon offspring's, who find
themselves dating, or, marrying a sister or brother as Jamell and Denise
discovered while pursuing a loving, meaningful relationship
