]]> Comment on False Teachers: Their Motives by Bible Study Boy http://www.bronxbiblechurch.com/blog/false-teachers-their-motives/comment-page-1/#comment-1058 Bible Study Boy Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:57:10 +0000 http://www.bronxbiblechurch.com/?p=334#comment-1058 I love the book of Jude. It is my favorite book speaking of those who speak evil of the things they know not, but what they know naturally as brute beasts. It speaks of these following Cain and Balaam, both of which deal with cursing. The bible tells us they who are of the works of the law are under the curse. Those who teach the works of the law do so through natural understanding. They do not understand the law of God is spiritual and is fulfilled through faith in Jesus alone. These seek to please God with their own works of righteousness in the flesh, the works of the law, the curse. For example, the bible tells us not to lie, 1 John 2:22 tells us the spiritual definition of a liar. This verse tells us a liar is one who denies Jesus is the Christ, which is unbelief in the gospel. When we believe the gospel, we do not deny Jesus is the Christ, which in turn makes us no longer liars. The same for stealing. Jesus told us to climb up any other way than through him makes us theives. If we go through faith in JEsus, we are no longer theives who steal spiritually. All the commandments are fulfilled through faith in Jesus. Salvation is by grace through faith, not works. Those in the book of Jude are those who do not understand the bible spiritually and seek to please God as Cain and Balaam by their own works of righteousness in the flesh, the works of the law, the curse as Balaam tried to curse Israel, these try to bring men under the curse of the law by works through false teaching, they bring cursed works to God as an offering as did Cain. God had cursed the ground from which Cain brought his offering representing these who follow the bible based on natural understanding. Here is an interesting <a href="http://www.spiritualbiblestudy.com" rel="nofollow">bible study</a> website that opens up the spiritual wisdom of the word of God. I love the book of Jude.

]]> Comment on Chatter Away by Daryl Thies http://www.bronxbiblechurch.com/blog/chatter-away/comment-page-1/#comment-89 Daryl Thies Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:01:54 +0000 http://www.bronxbiblechurch.com/?p=187#comment-89 This role & movie of Anthony Hopkins reminds me of the ministry of the porter. All that is spoken of the porter in the great "Good Shepherd Parable" in John 10:3 are only five words: (TO HIM THE PORTER OPENETH) But oh, the depths of responsibility to his job, that even the Lord, Jesus Christ waited for him to bid entrance into the sheepfold! Even if the wolf attacks the sheepfold, by climbing up another way, his eyes are focused on the door & the door only. The sheep may shriek, the shepherd may attack the wolf with their rod, but this little known worker/shepherd of the sheep still remains steadfast to his post & duty. As mundane as it seems, his duty is to maintain the integrity of the spiritual door of the Lord’s Sheepfold. Yet the bible thread of the porter ministry begin with warring angels who kept the gates of the sides of the north; to Adam who kept the garden of Eden to his son Able, who was the first shepherd/keeper of sheep; to us who must porter/keep our own souls/hearts with fear & trembling; to the husband that must keep the his family & finally the modern shepherds of the modern-day church of the Living God who has the awesome responsibility to keep His Church!

During my toddler and pre-school years, my folks and all family had always called me "Junnie". So.. I'm sitting in the kindergarten class of Ms. Weinenberg and attendance is being taken. I hear "Lawrence Hendricks"... and I continue to wait for my name... then she calls the name again... and again, getting louder. I'm looking around saying to myself "wow... this lawrence guy must be deaf or something why doesn;t he just answer?" I look at the teacher and she asks me why i'm not answering to my name. I reply" Well, my name sn't Lawrence: it's Junnie." I quickly learned that I had been decived by my own family for the first 5-years of my life. After school my mother asked ,incredulously,"What's wrong with you that you don't know your own name???" LOL... I remember my first day of school.

I didn't get any sleep the night before. My Mom had put curlers in the hair, the kind with the poky things to make them hold. They held alright but they kept poking me all night long. My curls only lasted until about 10:00 am anyway. I remember my first day of school. I didn’t get any sleep the night before.

Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you. I noticed when I just want to serve God, help people, and do the right thing, God gives us these things when we aren't even paying attention. Other than that, I am still trying to understand the "Pray and wait for God's direction" thing. How do we know when it’s the right thing from God?
