The Sky is Falling

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Do you supposerepparttar expression 'it's raining cats and dogs' originated withrepparttar 126860 flood?

For 120 years, Noah preached, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" They laughed at Noah. Who had ever heard of rain?

It is not all that different, today. "The end is coming! The end is coming!" But who, in this generation, has ever seen God's wrath? Besides, that is forrepparttar 126861 lost … right? That is not what God said (Ep. 5:6).

The Bible was not written forrepparttar 126862 lost (1 Co. 2:14). God told us whom He meant (II Ch. 7:14).

In Co. 3:6, God makes another reference torepparttar 126863 children of disobedience. Perhaps, He knew we would not get itrepparttar 126864 first time? Not very many people survivedrepparttar 126865 flood. They did not get it either.

Instead of researching every instance of sin to make sure we are covered, there is an easier solution. The opposite of disobedience is obedience. God counts faith as obedience and righteousness (Ro. 16:26, Ga. 3:6). Two forrepparttar 126866 price of one; now, that is a pretty good deal!

Color Me Love

Written by Joyce C. Lock


For those who walk inrepparttar flesh,repparttar 126859 law is given.

Some only see in black and white.

And, yet, there is a more excellent way. Others see in color and, when they do, that color is love.

"Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."

1 John 3:21

The Bible tells us to love our enemies, pray for them, turnrepparttar 126860 other cheek, and many like things. It also tells us to stand against evil. There are times to pluck up that which was planted, to shakerepparttar 126861 dust off our feet, and more.

If we hold torepparttar 126862 law, we remain captive in circumstances that God gave us other provisions for. We still adamantly believe inrepparttar 126863 law. The difference is that we trust God to reveal to us which law He requires at any given time.

What ever God speaks to us isrepparttar 126864 ultimate/absolute law.

Praise God, He is a Living God!

"Neither have I gone back fromrepparttar 126865 commandment of his lips; I have esteemedrepparttar 126866 words of his mouth more than my necessary food."

Job 23:12

The whole entire law is complete and fulfilled through following this one verse: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. If you do that, you have covered God's intent for every law withinrepparttar 126867 Bible.
