Beauty in the Bible

 

Beauty in the Bible

 

Beauty everywhere

 

There is beauty everywhere you look in nature and, in your family, whether you think so or not.  Of course, I am not saying it is all beauty because I am sure if you are like me I see ugliness as well.  I have learned to look at everything with a thankful heart.

 

Beauty in the Bible

 

Many people have been quick to point out the ugly part of the Bible.  Like God’s judgment of sins on his people and other nation as it should not be expected of a just God.  As if too lenient parents were benefiting a nation rather than handicap it.  How long will we let ourselves slip into a life of listlessness and disorder?  We have found excuses for our every sin and attitude.  We seem to not care about our future as much and we have stopped on dreaming.

 

This is where the Bible deals with us and confronts us.  Shall we run from the Scriptures as we have run from anything else?  How PRESENT do we want the truth in our lives?  I know what I am saying pulls on some of your heart’s strings as they did mine.  All I want to make sure that you know in the end is that God loves you.  He is deeply concerned about you as I am.  Enough to not leave you in the mud and dirty as the people of Israel found themselves when they rebelled and ran from God.

 

The Message of the Bible

 

In simple words, the message of the Bible is that without God’s help after Adam and Eve brought sin on themselves and the entire human race after them.  The sin of rebellion and pride has gone rampant since then.  Jesus Christ, because of God’s great love for us came into the realm of time more than 2000 years ago to save us and die for our sins that whosoever believe might have Eternal life and be forgiven.

 

 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16)

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
