The Fourth Commandment

Dad — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 23:32:21 GMT

⁸ “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” Exodus 20:8 NIV

When I was growing up there was a law that certain businesses, actually most businesses, could not be open on Sunday. They were called “Blue Laws”. I know it’s hard to imagine if you didn’t live during the time period, but only essential stores were open. Pressure from retailers mostly, influenced legislators to repeal the law, and the rest is history. Man’s law instead of God’s law now abounds. Individuals can still keep the day holy if we so choose, but for the most part, we live our lives as if God’s fourth commandment does not apply to us. I wonder what God thinks about that?

⁹ Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. ¹¹ For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. .” Exodus 20:9-11 NIV

Mountain Mover

Dad — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 02:48:03 GMT

Recently found this on Twitter: "With faith you can move mountains, with doubt you can create them." --- Art Jonak

He (Jesus) replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 NIV

Let's be mountain movers, not creators of self made obstacles (mountains) that we let stand in our way making life more difficult than it should be. Do you have any self-made mountains that need moving; self pity, poor choices, doubt, regrets? Pick up a mustard seed.

The Third Commandment

Dad — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 03:32:21 GMT

⁷ “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” Exodus 20:7

Number three of God’s Ten Commandments. God’s laws, given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, written on tablets of stone. (Exodus 31:18 NIV – “When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.”)

How loose we have become in using the Lord’s name in vain. Not just linked to a curse word as many do, but innocently spoken in exclamations or emphasis on something heard or seen. Perhaps we need to give ourselves a “whoops” when we catch ourselves doing it. God’s name should only be used in reverence in speaking about Him or to Him.

Earthquake

Dad — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 04:08:09 GMT

⁷For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

⁸All these are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew Chapter 24:7-8 KJV

We on the Eastcoast felt an unexpected event today, Tuesday 8/23/11. An earthquake! Wow. I did not think I would ever experience such an event in my lifetime, but I did. The scripture above is from a chapter that describes many signs of the return of Christ. Jesus gave many "signs", but I believe the most important sign is that we don't know when He will return, so always be ready. We should be assured that our lives are aligned with righteousness and that Jesus is the Lord of our life. We should accept the forgiveness of sin that He offers and resolve to do all we can to live a sinless life.

The Second Commandment

Dad — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 02:17:30 GMT

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:4-6

The second of God’s Ten Commandments. God’s laws, given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, written on tablets of stone. (Exodus 31:18 NIV – “When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.”)

Law two; no graven images of any kind. No cows, buddas, fish, - none. God is real. He lives in our heart when we accept the Son, Jesus Christ as Lord of our life. Materialistic statues are strictly against His law – law number 2. Once you accept Jesus as Lord, the void is filled and “statues” are not needed or desired.

Understand the second commandment!

The First Commandment

Dad — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:43:18 GMT

“You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3 NIV

The first of God’s Ten Commandments. God’s laws, given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, written on tablets of stone. (Exodus 31:18 NIV – “When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.”) Law one seems easy enough if you are Christian, but is it. It is so easy to find we have put “things” before the living God. What “things” can you think of that can slide right into our lives and become a god to us?

The Ten Commandments are God’s laws, given to us so that we may live in His will. But mere man has decided God’s law cannot be displayed in “man’s” court room, or in his public buildings, or in his schools (may God forgive us). Some foolishly teach that every man is a god and we can do whatever we want, without responsibility or accountability for our actions. Of course, mere man, is the tool of the evil one, who is bent on destroying those who believe God and accept His Son, Jesus Christ as our Savior. Weak men, no matter what their positions in life, are easy prey for the devil, and easily used by him for his own evil purpose. Be strong! Be wise! Be not deceived!

Next time – the second commandment. Do you know what it is?

Test The Spirits

Dad — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 00:29:00 GMT

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, ……..” I John 4:1 NIV

Some wisdom about spirits.

First, they are real. Some are good, some are evil. Good spirits are from God. Evil spirits are from the devil. The devil deploys evil spirits to deceive us and lead us away from God and into sin. Sin leads to eternal hell instead of eternity in Heaven. This is the mission of the devil, to have us in eternal hell with him. Evil spirits often come disguised in a “soft” deception. Often too, laced with what appears to be complete innocence. Thus the message in 1^st John chapter 4, verse one. Check out that seemingly innocent movie, game, picture, talk, song, food, drink, fun, activities …. And well, the list goes on! Not that there is evil in all things, but we must be prepared to determine if we are being tricked into thinking evil is good. It is very easy to get “tricked up” if we do not pay attention. It just comes down to paying attention to what we are doing by giving thoughtfulness to our actions instead of living for the moment.

Pray for wisdom, that you may discern evil from good and the strength to do good.

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year 2010! Another year has come, another year has gone. It seems like yesterday I was writing this New Years message........well, it was almost March. Doing much better this year, 1/3/2010. (It's going to take awhile to get used to typing 2010) Have you heard there's a word war going on as to whether this is the last year of the present decade or the first year of the new decade. What do you think? Anyway, my message has not changed from last year, it's a new beginning. Let us make sure we spend it wisely. I'm so thankful to see another one. Concentrate on relationships, firming them up with a constant refreshing; with each other and with God. Last year is gone in a flash. We now have a new year, and fortunately a new beginning every day. Let's always be sure we have our relationships firmed up. Never take them for granted. God first, family second, then everyone and everything else.

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness", ...... Matthew 6:33 NIV

Get Wisdom - Get Understanding! God's best to you for 2010. -- Dad
