Hello. And may the Father bless you all beyond measure. Today's thought: Matthew 22 Quote: 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. ~King James Version (KJV) Quote: 37 And Yahushua said to him, "'You shall love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all of your being, and with all of your mind.' 38 "This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Torah and the Prophets." ~The Scriptures 2009 There's a certain quality to these verses that's pretty much sums up most of the bible. If you can manage to find the key. The whole reason for Yahushua's/Jesus' existence. Something that present day society just can't seem to fathom. But believers, even the newest ones, can get a glimpse of it when they're called. And we see it another time - as we're children. When He writes His Word on our hearts. Something to think about... Your sister in Yahushua Messiah, Shalom, and Yahweh bless. ~MW

As is patience, charity, giving, honesty, and love which are all gifts from the holy spirit/god.
The greatest being love.
The only problem is that today noone bothers to read the bible or to go to church or even keep the ten commandments and because of such lawlessness John Q Public in genral is ungodly, unloving, incapible of charity or love or even honesty which is why there is so many people sitting on their duffs, not bothering to learn a trade or a skill and to use it. They would rather sit around all day with their hands out looking for 'entitlements' as they call them then to go out and be a productive member of society and to worship god and go to church and to fellowship and to do as gods word tells them to do.
They have a mouthfull of gimme and a mindset of of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine and if you dont fork it over you will be shot, maimed or killed for the few cents or couple of dollars worth of things that you may have on you at the time.
People in genral do not give a hoot about god or his word and that is why they are out there killing one another, raping one another, and being out and out PUNKS, THUGS, & WANNABE GANGSTERS.
Think about this people.
Missionaries here in the U.S.of A., went to the New England area of the U.S. to go door to door community outreach evangelism.
Over 98% of the entire New England area of the United States had absolutely no idea as to what these Baptist homeland missionaries were even talking about.
Do you know how long it takes a God Fearing society of Americans to forget God?
Three, YES 3 Generations to forget about God.
That's because Mom & Dad some where down the line got lazy and decided not to drag their kids to church every time the doors were open like their parents did.
So now the grand kids have a half butt idea about it all and get even lazier than dear old mom & dad, so they don't even bother to take their kids to church to know or learn about God or Jesus or Salvation or any thing else.
If you don't believe what I am saying, Look it up on line for yourselves at the Southern Baptist.org website, and see what a tem of So. Baptist Home land Missionaries did the summer of 2011 in the New England area where they had doors slammed in their faces, egged by neighbors in the neighborhoods they visited. People thought they were talking about or selling something that none of them had ever heard of.
THE NEW ENGLAND AREA OF THE U.S. WHERE CHRISTIANITY STARTED IN THE U.S. WITH THE PILGRAMS.
That's my two cents worth on the subject maam.
But all in all you have a very good post here, but the reality of it all is just what I wrote.
Take it easy and as a friend of mine would say,
"stay encouraged in the Lord"
Don't worry about me, I'm just a burned out used up person waiting for the end to come.
Coop.

Take it easy and as a friend of mine would say, "stay encouraged in the Lord" Don't worry about me, I'm just a burned out used up person waiting for the end to come. Coop. Yes. And there's a brother in S Africa that was shot at for his troubles. lol He's quite alright now, but had quite an adventure. There are, however, those in the middle east that believe in the father that are tortured and dying for Him. And a small orphanage of starving children that still look to Him. I see it when I'm on the road here - many people teased and ridiculed for showing their faith. Children in school that are reprimanded for including Yahweh/God In their assignments. People on the street, who have nothing. But still have Him. These wont be the ones looking for handouts, or playing the system. They're people like you and me. They hide in shame, and are humble to a cup of coffee. They offer work for food, and share what little they have. But we look to Him, always. We must. It'll get worse, brother. I can tell you've seen that. With those virtues, "Against such there is no Torah/Law. And those who are of Messiah have impaled the flesh with its passions and the desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk In the Spirit." Amein. Even those of us who have seen with a jaded eye... as hard as it is, don the armor of Elohim (Eph 6:10-20) (pulls sleeve up over palm, and polished yer armor) Thank you, brother. May the Father bless you with his healing Shalom, and the endurance to see these things through, in the Name of Yahushua haMashiach, amein.

I don't know about you Mister Cooper, or Coop.
But growing up. I had a drug problem, yes I did.
My parents or my grandparents drug me to church everytime the doors were open.
I know.. I just made a funny but in all seriousness, did or did not the Holy Bible and Christ Jesus say that, (and I will paraphrase at the moment) All those who stand for Me will be persecuted for My names sake and for believing.
We were never promised a rose garden by any means, we were however promised in Matthew 6:34 'Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it's own things. Sufficient for the day is it's own troubles.'
and how about 2 Thessalonians 3:3 'The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you.'
What we must do is exactly what is written in the book of Hebrews 13:5-8.
'Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have, For God has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.
The Lord is my helper and I will fear no man or what men can do to me.'
I say to just hang in there. It may get worse before our Risen Lord and Savior Christ Jesus returns, but by looking at the complete lude and lawlessness of todays people compared to that of Sodem and Gamora.
I truly believe deep down in my heart of hearts that the Lord will return soon to claim his church.
And no, I am not one of those 'End Timers' either who are always preaching gloom and doom.
I am however a Christian, and I do believe from what the Bible tells me, and the time line set up theologically as well as the happenings through out this world, it shouldn't be too much longer is my belief.
You're friend and brother in Jesus,
The Hawk - Philip.
