  • Age of Accountability - In Reply on Psalms 91:7 - 5 years ago
    The need for genuine discipline doesn't usually arise until about midway through the child's second year. At this time, boys and girls become capable of understanding what you're telling them to do, and as a result they can very gently be held responsible for their behavior. A firm "no!" or a MILD slap on the hand can be effective in certain situations.

    On other occasions it may be far more helpful to mandate a brief "time out" (two or three minutes at the most) or take away a favorite toy for a short period of time. Through the next 18 months, you will gradually establish yourself as the benevolent boss if you can consistently mean what you say and say what you mean. A firm but loving approach is generally the best policy in every phase of the child-rearing process.

    There is some great verses on child rearing in the Book of Proverbs.

    I think parents are afraid of lawsuits if they correct a child. The Bible actually says: if you never correct your child: you hate him.

    One of the worst things for a kid is to use a TV to keep the child distracted or entertained.

    Youtube teaches things you do not want them to learn! If you want them to grow up and follow Jesus someday; don't expose them to worldly and selfish tv content. Video games teach nothing useful.

    I started reading short Psalms to my grandson at naptime and bedtime. He's 7 and became a Christian a year ago.

    If YOU don't teach it: they will not learn it.

    Go see how many parents are in the prayer request room asking prayer for adult drug addict children? Heartbreaking.

  • Andy G van den Berg on Mark 1 - 5 years ago
    Mark 1:15.

    The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what by nature people have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. Actually it means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).



    For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' what it means to repent and how people have been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), we invite you to review the article 'Repent' on a world deceived.ca

  • WHAT CAN WE EAT or IS IT CLEAN - In Reply on Isaiah 66:17 - 5 years ago
    Romans 14:14

    I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

    Romans 14:15

    But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

    John 6:27

    Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

    Comment: basically nothing is forbidden if you PRAY over your food before eating it.

    I pray this often if I get take out food:

    "Lord thank you for your provision and the blessing of food. I ask You to bless and sanctify it and make it healthy for me to eat. I receive this meal in the Name of Jesus. Amen!"

    I picked this variety of verses to show that meat eaters and vegetarians can all eat what they want. With joy and appetite.

    Also, There is spiritual meat that the Christian can ask the Lord to give to him. It has to do with deeper truth. Trust the Holy Spirit (your teacher who oversees your growth) to give you the meat.

    In this day and age, I always ask the Lord to bless and sanctify the food. We don't know where it comes from, do we?

  • Amos on Bel and the Dragon 1 - 5 years ago
    Your argument about Daniel are very weak. Daniel issue you are referring is the one during Dario not during Cyrus.

    Also about forcing the King, in Babylon the law was above the King, they could force him. King has to follow law and decree which do not change
  • Ephesians 319-20 World Without End - In Reply on Ephesians 3:21 - 5 years ago

    21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

  • Book of Joel 2 and Locust Invasion in Africa - In Reply on Malachi 3:2 - 5 years ago
    One verse mentions about worldwide swarms of locusts. This is a piece of a news article from 2/14/2020:

    The current swarms of locusts are the most serious outbreak in decades, affecting Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea and most recently, Tanzania and Uganda. The locusts could fly into South Sudan, a country whose population is already struggling with high levels of hunger. The swarms are extremely large, in North-Eastern Kenya, one swarm was measured to be 37 miles long and 25 miles wide.

    The UN says that desert locusts are the most dangerous migratory pests because of their capacity to decimate crops, threatening food security and livelihoods. Swarms, which can contain 40-80 million locust adults, can consume crops in one day that would provide food for 35,000 people.

    "The longer the outbreak continues, the higher the risk of famine goes up," Peter Smerdon of the World Food Program in East Africa tells TIME. "You need to knock them out before they start wreaking further havoc."

    The latest locust swarms migrated from the Arabian peninsula, where cyclones in the deserts of Oman this fall created ideal breeding conditions. The swarms arrived on the African continent three months ago and have since grown in size and scope. The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has warned that the swarms could increase by 500 times come June, in light of rainy forecasts. [ Next paragraph indicates it may be from global weather changes]

    if you go to the Commentary Box on this website, it will tell you what Wesley taught on this chapter in Joel.

    It would be a study into history of locust swarms on earth. Joel's locusts seem to mention The Chaldeans.

    I can't do a study like this quickly. Co to the Commentary Box ( below the 2 Search Boxes) and highlight the verses and read. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you place the Time on these events.

    Verse 3
  • T - In Reply on Isaiah 66:17 - 5 years ago
    Swine being forbidden was a Mosaic Law, found in Leviticus, in the Old Testament.

    In the New Testament we now refer to Mark 7:15 for your answer.

    What we eat and goes through our stomach doesn't defile us. It is what comes out of us, from the heart, that defiles us.

    So if you enjoy bacon have an extra piece!

    Have you seen the videos of Coke being poured over raw pork? Quite gross. Just ensure you cook your pork thoroughly.

    Psalm 62:8

    "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."

    Psalm 66:16

    "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul."

    While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. For by grace are we saved through faith and not of ourselves for it is the gift of God lest any man should boast. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus conquered death and is seated at the right hand of God tonight and is interceding on our behalf. His Holy Spirit is our comforter... our ever-present help and peace when nothing makes sense. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Lord, thank you for your mercy and salvation. Please forgive us and mold us into usable servants for your purpose. Please be with the needs listed here and cause all who read this forum to be reminded of your love for them. Lord, please renew our minds and change our hearts. Thank you for another day of life. Thank you for loving us, forgiving us, sealing us, sustaining us, protecting us, and healing us. Lord, you are faithful and true. Thank you for your Word. Thank you for your son Jesus Christ and your Holy Spirit who encourages and convicts us. Help us to live for you.

    Please pray for the letter that will be sent to a family friend who was caught in sin. She is angry right now and getting revenge. Please pray that the letter gets through to her and her son. Pray that her anger is cooled, and her heart is softened. Please pray that both their eyes are opened to God's truth, and that they return to the Father and his will.

  • Things To Do to Be Ready For Jesus39s Return - In Reply on Luke 15 - 5 years ago
    Matthew 25

    [The lamps are the Light of Jesus and the Oil is the Joy of the Holy Spirit.]

    1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

    2 And five of them were WISE, and five were FOOLISH.

    3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

    4 But the WISE took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

    5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

    6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

    7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

    8 And the FOOLISH said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

    9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

    10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

    11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

    12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

    13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

    This is something we have to maintain every day. We are charged to be ready for our Bridegroom; at all hours.
