Psalm 23

dependence upon God and blurs the line separating earthly and divine. “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him” (Psalm 24:1 NLT). The incarnational tradition is exemplified through…

“What would you like to do if money was no object?” This is the question asked in a trending Youtube video narrated by the late philosopher Alan Watts. It encourages young people to live and dream as if money didn’t matter—as if money was no object. Inspiring, to say the least. The notion of dreaming and living without regard for financial reality can open the imagination to entire worlds that money had rendered unrealistic. But profound narrative, dizzying imagery and hypnotic music aside,…

From the deserts of Egypt in the third century up to the modern-day masses of the Catholic church, Christians have warned the human race of committing any of the seven deadly sins. Despite many, including non-Christians, believing these sins to be the folly of mankind, humans continue to proudly commit the capital vices time and time again.

While the man was on the road, he was beaten by robbers to the point where he could not get up and walk. While he was lying there, a priest passes him by without offering any help, and so did a Levite. Jesus seemed to have been challenging the religiousness of the two religious groups, by implying that they put their righteousness rituals before the well-being of others who they are supposed to love. The specific implications were that the priest and the Levite were unwilling to become unclean…

Job's friends seem logical. In spite of this, their arguments show assumptions. Job’s suffering, considering his righteousness, was illogical, but God allowed the suffering to show God’s authority in all things, even suffering. Poetry Reading the Psalms shows Scripture in the form of poetry. Nevertheless, scriptural poetry is found in other places. After crossing the Red Sea, Moses sang praises of triumph (Exodus 15). David laments at the death of Saul and Jonathan (2 Sam 1:17-27). Joshua even…

We also read a scripture from a kids Bible the scripture was Psalm 139:13-14. The lesson lasted for two hours. After reading, I would ask the toddlers questions from the book. For example, who made you? And are you loved by God? After reading we would have song time and then craft time.…

The bible tells us, being honor and integrity, not lying and stealing will help us be forgiven. So that is important to keep it in our mind all the time. According to dictionary, honor is being fair, reliability, honest and it gives recognition to show respect or thanks to someone. And integrity is…

It's better for you to live judgement for God rather than condemning a man of God for what you are not certain about; and it's better to stay away from them if your closeness may lead you to too much familiarity that may cause you to despise them and reign down the curses of God upon you.” Definitely, those who are not sincere, leave them with their conscience or you pray for them; but know it that in time to come they will surely face the judgement throne of God. On the other hand, make sure…
