WHY NOE

Genesis Chapter Six

Verses 8 thru 12


8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

How could Noah find favor in the eyes of of the evil world in which he stood out as a believer? The people of the world hated and persecuted him, because both by his walk of life and preaching he admonished them but he found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Vs. 8). Noah walked with God and kept His precepts. This made him more truly honorable than the earthly men of renown. Noah’s attitude was to keep the chief desire to labor that his family may be accepted of God. As the rest of the world grew disgusting, Noah kept his integrity. God's good-will towards Noah produced this good work in him. He was just; justified by faith before God. He dwelt upon God’s promises. As such he lived holy, and had right principles; and was righteous in his conversations. He was not only honest, but devout. Noah continually strove to do the God’s will as he knew it. God looks down upon those who do so with an eye of favor. Those who sincerely look up to him with an eye of faith. It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but but it is religion for religion's benefits. It is more difficult to swim against the current than to drift along with the crowd and to witness for God when all others deny Him. Noah swam. All kinds of evil, lustful and disgusting sin was found among the other inhabitants of the earth. They corrupted God's design. Awful Sins fills the earth with violence and disrespect of God. This fully justified God's resolve to destroy the world. The world became totally corrupt. When wickedness is become general, ruin is not far off. While there is a remnant of praying people in a nation, to empty the measure of madness as it fills, judgments may be long withheld. However, when all hands are at work to pull down the defenses, by sin, and none stand in the gap to make up the breach, what can be expected but a flood of wrath? Know God, know peace Amen 10-04-19 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

Why

By -
  Why Why may be the most frequently ask question. Just because is the easiest answer. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God let little children suffer tragedies and disease? Why, why, why seems the best response to the calamities of life. We ask one another. We ask politicians and ministers and we ask one another. If there were an obvious answer, there would be no need for the question. If there is a known answer it often takes study or reforming of the question. As we pass through life’s allotted time, there are two major spiritual forces working in and about us. Minor self-induced forces such as free will, faith, mental awareness, and spiritual discernment are only a few of these. It all began many centuries ago. In the beginning, God created the universe, the earth, and all that is in it. He made all things perfect. There was no sickness, accidents nor even death. However, when he finished creating humans and instilled in them the trait of free choice. They had go
