Are we listening to God?

I paid very close attention yesterday evening at leadership class.

And I also paid very close attention to a cartoon - animated picture on TV last night.

I want to share two things for now and below I will share from my notes from class.

1. When one of men which is Chariman of Deacon Board(younger than me) shared following at leadership class: He shared with us that he was at home yesterday and he just happened to watch soap operas something that he don't do, but for some reason on this soap opera they were talking about and showing one of characters had died and went to heaven, and focus was on ENTER THE GATES.

I do believe that Kevin told us one that had died was named LUKE

He told us it just caught his attention for that was title of our Leadership Lesson and he began to watch it and he thought woww!!!

Now keep in mind, I just wonder how many countries, cities and nations did pick up and did show this soap opera?

2. Last night I was watching Bobby Hill on TV: cartoon -- animated picture.

This really caught my eyes his mother had painted CLOUDS on his room wall, now I have seen this picture before but last night I began to see something different; my mind went back to my study on Tabernacle.

Then daddy did not like wall painted with clouds so he began to take paint brush and cover up just a small partion of wall.

Everytime Bobby Hill would began to ask questions daddy would ask don't you have homework to do? And child said No. Then daddy asked don't you have sunday school homework to do?

Ok, again I heard word "MIRACLE" and Bobby Hill was reading from scriptures about Jesus and I think wedding at Cana.

Now keep in mind, I just wonder how many countries, cities and nations did pick up and show as well?

Some might be saying Oh, Angela that is just another coincident.

"My Notes From Class Friday 27, 2003"

ENTER HIS GATE

WHAT GATE

GOD's GATE

How can sinful man approach God? REPENT

OUR PASTOR ASKS? IF everyone that came to church was seeking LORD?

QUESTION TO BREAK THE ICE: If you went blind at this moment what would you miss? (You do not have to share answer with me)

Let's go to Exodus 25:8-9

MAKE A SANCUTARY according to HIS PATTERN.

Make God a Sancutary that HE may dwell among them according to what GOD SHOW.

verse 8...And let them make me a sancturary; that I may dwell among them.

verse 9...According to all that I shew thee, after pattern of tabernacle, and pattern of all instruments thereof even so shall ye make it.

Let's go to John 5:46

MOSES wrote of JESUS: if ye would have believed MOSES you believed JESUS.

SCRIPTURE --- THE STANDARD OF THE TRUTH

verse 46...For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

Why would you think it was important to GOD to have a fence of Tabernacle?

Why a fence?

Let's go to Isaiah 59:2

MY/OUR SINS HAVE SEPARATED US FROM GOD: MY SINS HAVE HID GOD'S FACE FROM ME. THE PRAYER OF THE WICKED NOT HEARD.

But your inquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Let's go to Exodus 33:17

MOSES HAD BEEN OBEDIENT TO GOD'S WORD

A Christian Should……. By Stanley T. Crawford

As Christians we should treat each other according to guidelines established by God. God has defined guidelines for our behavior with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In addition, God has defined how we should treat non-Christian. In some cases guidelines are same for our behavior towards Christian and non-Christian. In other cases there are unique behaviors that we should display toward Christian and non-Christian. A look at Romans 12:9 – 21 sheds light on this issue. In this passage, Paul defines some of desired behaviors for Christians in our interactions with Christians and non-Christians.

Paul begins by pointing out that love that we demonstrate should be real (Romans12:9). Paul proceeds to point out that our focus should be on good and not evil. When people say terrible things about us we shouldn’t do same to them. We should instead bless them (Romans 12:14). Implementing this behavior is a challenge in some situations. At times, our emotional state toward our antagonist makes it difficult to bless and not curse. Yet, we must try to remember that God knows best even over our perceptions. (Proverbs 3:5 & 6)
