3.31- We don't know who we are helping. When we help the poor.

 3.31-

We don't know who we are helping. When we help the poor. When we stand up for justice for those who cannot stand up for justice for themselves it is not them we are helping, but beyond them we are helping God.  God has placed himself with the poor.  His heart is with the poor.  He has provided that extra crops be given to them.  He has said that if you cheat the poor you will eventually give account to God.  He has said that when you helped the poor you were actually helping God.


How can you help them?  You can be generous with them in their times they work for you.  You provide clothing that you don't need anymore.  You can share food.  You can make sure they feel seen and respected by you.  You can refuse to take advantage of them. 


I was watching a television program where a man made his money by ripping people off through scams.  He made millions per year and was asked while on his yacht if he felt guilty.  No.  They are so stupid I feel no guilt.  The judge of all the earth will hold accountable those who abuse the poor. 

Proverbs 29

By wrongdoing an evil person is ensnared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7 The righteous [e]is concerned for the rights of the poor;
The wicked does not understand such [f]concern.

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

7.1- In times when the world seems upside down.

 7.1- In times when the world seems upside down. In perilous times. People love themselves more than their family or their country. Those in positions requiring generosity are found to be selfish hoarders. People supposed to be humble servants are boastful. Where there should natural affection for family and friends it is absent. These times include men of God being exposed as phoney predators and liars. These call evil good and good evil. What can we do to find a place to stand? Remember those who have shown the love and kindness of God to you? What was the guidance and power in their life? What kind of finish did they have in their life? Imitate them as they imitated otherly Godly people. 2 Tim. 3. 3  But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.   2  For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,   3  unlovin...
