Keepers of the Light

Leviticus 24 Lessons for Living Today: The lamp in the Tabernacle was to burn continually.  The priest was charged as keeper of the light, keeping the oil filled so the lamps never went out.  When Jesus died the presence of God moved from the Temple to our temples of flesh.  We who believe experience the presence of God in our lives and we are now the keepers of the Light of God. It is both a great privilege and a great responsibility. As the priest of the Tabernacle had to be always on duty, we too are always on duty … Continue reading Keepers of the Light

Exodus 30:  God’s instructions for the temple furnishings Lessons for Living Today: We all claim we want taxes to be fair.  What is meant by fair is if it benefits me instead of the other guy.  The poor want the rich to pay more taxes and the rich feel it is unfair to tax them more just because they have worked harder.

Parental Training Spans Generations

ellenlandreth

Genesis 18:19  (God chose Abraham) to train his children and future family to observe God’s way of life, live kindly, and generously and fairly. Lessons for Living Today: All training (or lack thereof) spans generation.  Of all training that takes place, parental training is the most far reaching.  Parents don’t just train how to do tasks but they pass on character and ethic.  If children don’t get that from their parents—they don’t get it.  What you are in your home is what you are at the core of your being.  God chose Abraham to be the father of a nation … Continue reading Parental Training Spans Generations

God’s Word: Acts 11:1-26 God’s Message to me: (My interpretation of what God is saying in these verses) When rubbing shoulders with others who is rubbing off on whom? My best advice is rub shoulders with everyone you come in contact with.  Learn all you can from others and share all you know with still others.  Be cautious that whose you are learning from have My stamp of approval—that their foundation of life is based upon My Word.  Then you too can build upon that foundation and bring others in on the building project.  What we are building here is … Continue reading Rubbing Shoulders

God’s Word: Mark 6:7-13 God’s Message to me: (My interpretation of what God is saying in these verses) What, for heaven’s sake, are you investing your life in?  This life is a brief as the flowers that bloom so beautiful one day and fade away the next.  Are you putting all your eggs in the basket of life, spending all your time and energy living it up, having a good time?  You will never find the satisfaction you crave.  Pleasure is as short-lived as the blooming flower.  Real satisfaction comes to those who share themselves with others—meeting their needs. Those … Continue reading YOU are the Equipment
