If it's the right thread the nut will fit the screw...!

Everytime we take to blog, it's a fearful thing what the Lord want to make know about his word. Jesus to his decipilea and the crowds, " If you truly abide in my words, you shall know the truth shall make you free...". The Pharisees protested what do you mean make us free, we have never been slaves to anyone!. Jesus said anyone who sins is a slave of sin. And the question is that if we really know the deliverance Jesus promises? Are we truly set free indeed like he says. Do we continue to sin and walk in error?

Jesus told some that some draw near to praise him and they write books and books and volumes and volumes and...we he said they draw near to praise him with their lips, but they are really very far away from him. He said, "In vain they worship me teachings as doctrines the ideas they have gotten from their imagination. So let turn to Judges 19 and see an account about a very curious matter. Judges 19:

["...1And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.

2And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.

3And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.

4And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.

5And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.

6And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.

7And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.

8And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.

9And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.

10But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.

11And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.

12And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.

13And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.

14And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.

15And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.

16And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.

17And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?

18And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.

19Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.

20And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street...]


Now this Parable remind me of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. And in this study we allude to this parable with a twist of how the Jews thought of Samaritans and Jesus himself. It says,

["... Luke 10:33 (Whole Chapter)
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,


Luke 17:16 (Whole Chapter)
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.


John 8:48 (Whole Chapter)
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? ...]

Now why the bible upside-down. Those who know good are like the publicans and the common man acts more like a true worshipper of God. Now why do we have this outcry? Jesus said that if anyone does not hate his father, mother, wife and kids and even his own like he can be his decipile. This is not your regular altar call is it? But then Jesus twists thing more and more and says those who begin to hate their children for the sake of the gospel who begin to come first in the kingdom will come last!...

Jesus said when you're invited to a party, don't take the best seat, but the least. And don't doubt in your heart for an instant that you wouldn't forget your a christian virtues if some bad misfortunate dangers would to happen to one of your children. We turn and turn the nut on this thread, excuse the pun, blog, and what is it this holding fast together? Yep! The gospel is not all that simple but simple enough if you think and trust like a little child. The only reason it's complicated is because we read into the text ideas which were not meant to be.

There you have it a nut in nutshell. It's all clear right? No. Now what is this telling you? This upside-down can be a real maze and only Jesus can make it through his words. Lost you? Pray for an interpretation so it can become clear. May you be blessed. Amen.

We thought about this a lots. Usually the understanding comes quicly. And I asked the Lord about this since it is like a mystery what the blog says. But then I began to notice that I couldn't find my wallet and or my car keys. And I thought to myself and reminded the Lord, "Yes. I do care for those thing which are dear to me..." And again we are, I am reminded of Luke 14, 15, 16 and 17. Yep! The Lord is and does care for what is dear to him.

The Lord does care about his own still at large in the world and he does intend to keep on looking for them. Just when I thought I was religious and I have no care to what God is concerned about then I question whether I really understand God. The gospel is intended to find the Lost and those who have been cast out. But what sacrifice is God, I or you are willing to make to further God's purpose.

I don't really understand the gospel if I don't really understand that God is not a straight-laced individual when he come to what he is willing to find his lost sheep, his lost coin or his lost son or daughter somewhere. Perhaps I think my Christian life is unfair and you have to do thinks which are unpleasant or puzzling or you have anguish and frustration. But God need you there to keep the enemy at bay and be armed with the truth at all times.

The devil takes no breaks and is always looking to where snare up the truth. The truth is precious and is commodity that no everybody has. Now think about this man and his concubine and what message could that bring. But this man went out of this way to bring back something that was dear to him. Perhaps he love her more than his own life. And this concubine is the gospel.

Who are the unsimgly people God has gone out of his way and went to heaven, the father of the woman and bring her back. The concubine died and this man was wroth with those who harmed her. But the point is God is concerned and does care for what is dear to him. Perhaps this little turn of the tread will help us get a cleared picture of how God looks at the problem.

May you be blessed. Amen.

Now how far are we willing to mold the truth and still not compromise with it? When Jesus came to Peter to wash his feet and Peter said to Him, "You shall not wash my feet...!" and Jesus said to him, " If I don't wash your feet, you have no part in me...!". It sound like if he was talking of the wine and bread of Lord's Supper. But this work we have to do for each other is as important as the broken bread and cup of wine.

Personal service to each other is a key activity God wants to see decipiles do for each other. Some of us, if not all of us are called to give to finacial continuance of this site. But then who ae the ones who really care? Who are the ones who really understand what is stake in site like this. This need created here God has created to help us bless ourselves. God can make this site or open another site somewhere else. But he want us to learn to wash each other feet and learn to give a litttle of what we have.

Perhaps this site has not become as dear to you and it should be. But in persuaded in Christ that God cares to what happen to what is happening here and how God is working here. God cares about this site. And he only wants us to think like does. Think intently of what is really dear to you and what you would do to not let anything happen to it. And God says, what if your son or ox or something dear to you happen to fall of a slope...would you not quickly send a reacue team to bring it back.

And this blog is about what is dear to God and God wants to be your God and you his child. But he want us to learn to learn to care and have compassion for those less fortune then ourselves. And God will never let anything happen to what and who is near and dear to him and that is you and me. May you be blessed. Amen.

The Lord has led me to visit another site where the populace does not want bible studies or bible lectures or bible sermons. And I must wonder what am I doing there? But I discover that the Lord want to save some there. I just kind of remind me of Jonah. God told him to go preach distruction to the Ninevites and Jonan took another 'greyhound' to another place. He could see this or that city repenting.

I just kind of feel the same way. I have to talk only what they talk about and think only what they think about, praise only what they praise about...I do wonder about the Lord and this matter. But I also remind me of when the Lord and his decipile came to a Samaritan village and the subject there would not recieve him because he was on his way to Jerusalem and the decipile said the Jesus, "Lord shall we bid fire from heaven and consume them like did Elijah...?" And he said to them, " You don't know what manner of spirit you are of, for the Son of

Man did not come to the world to destroy mens lives, but to save them...!" And I say to my Lord, Lord ahead with the plan...

We just want to take a moment and thank God for all his wonderful blessings. I was reading a portion of scripture where Solomon dedicates the new Temple and he puts the ark of the covenant in the most holy place.

And it makes a curious statement in the bible. It says, "...And they just put in the ark of the covenant with its things...the two tablets of the commandments and so on..." The curious thing is that it says "...and they JUST put in the tables of stone of commandments..."

The reason they put the ark of the covenant with the commandments in the most holy place was because it represent the Word of God in the most holy place. like he takes his place in heaven.

And it's not JUST but the most important thing or say object or say person on between the engraved cherubim. And we must believe God in order to be saved. God says that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.

We don't just accept Jesus and forget his word. We believe God, and his word is the Truth and make a devotion to believe God and his precepts. We must not be misled that if we pick up JUST a bible, it's the Word of God. And it's not JUST anything, it's the very thing that can

bring life for him who does believe. May you be blessed. Amen.

I was really concerned about some friend who just will not accept the Word of God. I thought it over and over and told them the facts. But the comments with the real fact don't make it into their culumns. I'm really concerned.

I thought it over and over and I thought if I had done it gently in a more subtle way...perhaps I would have not lost them! Please pray for me...I'm out of ideas and do not know where to turn in this situation.

If I had done it gently...? If I had done it gently? If I had done it with utmost care...perhaps I would have hit the ball infield! Surely God says that no one can come to him unless the Father who drew Jesus call that person...

I think of the eternal damnation and the fire and the worms...What a scenario? Jesus said that many would come form the east and from the north and from the south and from the west and take their places with Abraham, Issac and Jacob, but the children, these children

would cast out...Please pray for me with ideas. I've run. Help me humble myself and seek God on this matter. What does God think about this tread? Does the nut fit the screw? Do I have the right tread to put on the precepts of God? May you be blessed. Amen.

So the issue does not get personal. In the continuing 'Sunday Saga', Hercules was not able to defeat the Lion of Iconium, but the Lord sent help and sent another spokesman for us and present our same issue and samelike was rejected. It seem the trouble continuing in trying to mold the opinion of these individuals, but it is a key fortress of Satan and the Lord is contunuing the attack with the truth and we certainly know that no cousel avails agains the Lord.

I had almost gave up, but the Lord kept nudging my life to no give up and sooner or later the gate will open and we will set the captives free. But do pray for us in this endevour which is a peculiar interest to the Lord. I just wander who among here is following what I've been telling and I'll tell you if there a victory in this battle there's going to be a lots of spoil of goodies and blessing for those who have thought of us. Psalm 41,

["... 1Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

2The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

7All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

10But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen...]

I couldn't of described the situation better. May you be blessed. Amen.
