May God bless you and your Mother and may He continue to provide generously for both your daily needs .

That; I suppose is an advantage of this type of venue; where no one knows who anyone else really is (unless for some divine purpose someone living in our town is discovered who we happen to run into-would be interesting if I was discussing this blog with someone here in Philly and they said yeah I'm the one who is so and so who read your blog last week).

That being said; of course we are all more shallow in this way without personal contact and fellowship at best. The concept of "confessing our sins to one another" is scriptural. The context certainly applies to when we have offended someone and we are to make it right before offering sacrifice (which I would say is equivalent to Communion or any public worship for that matter). It is also good to have those we are accountable to. Obviously men should be discipling men; women with women. That is another matter; as to how women not only in churches but online forums may try to go beyond discussions and start playing the role of Pastor. It is a touchy issue which I won't delve into any more here.

We need not only to be aware of gossip within the church but about our leaders and any non believers as well. Certain things are known as to transgressions in the public arena but unless we hold it up in prayer it is better to keep quiet. It reminds us of the verse about judging others. Most don't look at the other side of it; we WOULD want mercy to triumph over judgment so we should use that approach with others. That concept is seen in Matthew 18:15-35. We should be ready to forgive our brother and be transparent when we can. Obviously some things are private and certainly a trusted person should be our confidante as it were.

Sadly; the lack of exhortation in churches today and having real conversations make the concept of "iron sharpening iron" a rare concept. The wounds of a friend somehow aren't appreciated ( Proverbs 27:6) with today's shallow associations that result from cliques that gossip.

Sorry , My soul shall make her boast , why would David refer to his soul as feminine ? Any ideas anyone ? I haven't a clue .

Psalm 25.

Let us start this commentary on verse 14. We are reminded here of the verse in Deuteronomy 29:29 about the secret things of the Lord that we are NOT to know. There are other verses that state what is seemingly the opposite (namely; Proverbs 25:2) which states that it is the honor of kings for such matters to be revealed. Since we are "kings and priests" in the Lord; therefore we are given some comprehension of such mysteries. ( Rev. 5:10).

Two major themes here relate to the fear of the Lord (in the verses 12-14) and not harboring sins (verses 1-7). Meek individuals (verse 8) remind us of the verse in the Gospels stating that the "meek shall inherit the earth" ( Matthew 5:5). Verse 10 also brings up the concept of those keeping His covenant (not stated which covenant) as well as those who keep "his testimonies." Obviously; the word of our testimony ( Rev. 12:11) is vital which involves confessing with our mouth as well as our heart. Trust is also a theme here of importance (verse 2 as well as verse 20). The last verse talks of Israel as a whole; which in context could refer to David's descendants or the eventual plan at the end of the age where it is restored to the position originally intended.

Finally; patience in waiting on God is noted in verses 5 and 21. There are numerous references in scripture on that subject as a fruit; as one type of crown being given as a reward for those who wait patiently for the coming of the Lord ( James 5:7; etal). When we see such great wickedness around today such as was in the time of Lot and Noah we need to keep in focus the big picture.

When the Prophet Ezra returns to rebuild the temple, what hindered the progress?

Richard,

Spirit baptism, being born of God's Spirit is what causes a new birth, not water baptism. Now, with that being said, water baptism is something everyone born again believer should seek after salvation.

Denise,

If you put it in years, three score would be 60. A score is 20.

Can anyone help me with Psalm 34 please ? Verse 2 : My soul shall make her boast in the LORD : the humble shall hear thereof , and be glad . Any ideas / explanation ?

Very happy to study the Bible...

Hello again . I'm reading through Psalms at the moment and have just read Psalm 32 , it's lovely and I thought it might help you . It was written by David who was a man well acquainted with sin and the consequences of it . I hope it is a help to you .

Hello . I believe that life itself is a blessing , therefore everyone who is alive is recieving a blessing from God . How do you define the word blessing ? I see it as a gift from God . Therefore I am full of blessings . God feeds me , God clothes me , God keeps me warm and dry and safe and well and healthy and happy . I am well blessed . God blesses people who are not even aware of His existence . The Holy One of Israel is very generous to all flesh every day and every good thing in your life comes from Him . Remember to thank Him every day and never forget that His judgements are always righteous and merciful .

It amazing; The proof is all there. God created the universe; and rested from his work on the seventh day. What is work but the using of Energy. Yes, He created the universe and energy and space all at the same time probably as scientists say with the Big Bang theory; and of course the universe seems to be still expanding and stars are still exploding; not all of course but some; and thus planets are still being created; maybe even new earths and moons just like ours but so far away; forget about them. We will never really know; but now I do know that God rested by stopping using His energy. I now know what rest is and I hope to do so on the Sabbath; unless there is Good that I must do on that day. There are always blessings in the 10 commandments and what God says to do; and I can see that in resting on the Sabbath, Both the mind, body, brain and soul, the physical and the mental.

Please pray that it's not busy at work today and tonight and I have energy strength protection favor and can go to the store a few times ijnip amen

I'm not sure what you mean by a ceremony . The best thing that you can do to develope your faith and trust in God is to read your Bible and say your prayers to Him through Christ . If there is something specific that you and a group of people want , you could gather together and say a prayer together perhaps ? I'm not convinced that God requires any ceremonies from us but I'm sure that He is very willing to listen to an open hearted prayer and blesses us when we are trying to draw closer to Him through reading His word . For me , we can't go wrong with reading His Word and praying to Him .

Who did Jesus preach to in hell

Hello . Please forgive me but I don't usually read very long posts . When I come on here , I usually just look for any questions in the question section , to see if I can help in any way . Unfortunately I don't have a lot of free time to read everything on here , I wish I did but I just don't most days . So I just go to the question section . Thanks for your long answers , if I do get time over the next few days I will try to read them I promise . Thank you again .

Dear Malayaisfaithful, draw close to Him by doing daily devotions--praying, reading and studying His, word, even singing, reading/quoting Scripture that will strengthen your weaknesses.

When you are afraid, pray through it. Ps. 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in You.

what is the bible taught way to pray? how do I make it threw crisis?

You believe in Jesus of Nazareth.

Romans 10:9

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

God said it! I believe it, and that settles it for me.

1 John 4:18

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

Jesus of Nazareth loves you. He gave himself for you! If you are certain you love Jesus back, the issue is trust.

Trust in THE LORD! Be thankful to him in all things. The more you thank God, the more you will trust God!

Praise the Lord!

John 3:16

For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
