Like Mildness

Like Minded

I suppose every since Adam and Eve transgressed Gods law of love in the garden of Eden there has been little or no like mindedness in their offspring. We know that shortly there afterwards Cain killed his brother because their minds were drawn apart with jealously and greed. Down through the ages, there has been a lack of thinking and working in one accord. Today there is little or no common ground among individuals or nations. History records reveals a lack of unity on thinking.

Jesus came and separation in beliefs and even families took a different flavor. Today there are more denominations than can be quickly named. There is only a trace of like mildness in our world and worship today.

Genesis 4:3“... Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

  Isaiah 56:11 “...they all look to their own way, every one for his gain...”

Acts 14:15-16 “...God,...in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.”

 Luke 12:51 “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:”

  Numbers 21:14 “Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD,...”:

  Judges 3:1 “... all the wars of Canaan;”

  2 Samuel 8:10 “... Hadadezer had wars with Toi.”

  1 Kings 5:3 “Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side...”

  2 Chronicles 16:9 “... from henceforth thou shalt have wars.”

  2 Chronicles 27:7 “...the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways...”

Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:...”
Luke 21:9 “...when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified:...”
James 4:1 “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”
Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Know God, know peace. Amen 11-14-2020 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

  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

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
