To pursue or not to pursue Apr 9, 2008 6:59 pm

The Red Angel is guiding us on what would be the appropriate way to pursue a Knight in Shining Armour or a Fair maiden.

Knights and Fair Maidens, Help is Here, For your wooing woes!!!The Red Angel is here to help...

Problem is, there are so many different opinions, my own being that a Knight should pursue the Fair Maiden.

The Knights on the other hand feel there is nothing wrong with the Fair maiden pursuing them. That my dear Knights, in my opinion reflects on one of the 7 deadly sins.

Truth stumbles in the public square Apr 9, 2008 9:24 am

Esaiah 59 v 9 ….

Truth stumbles in the public square , and honesty finds no place there . There is so little honesty that those who stop doing evil find themselves the victim of crime.

The Lord has seen this , and He is displeased that there is no justice.

Believe my ( maybe yours as well ) biggest enemy during my whole life up to now may have been ME !

Know why I say this – believe you may like to know

You see we need to know , realize and know for a fact that God does not like sin – no He hates sin and I believe there is nothing God hates more because you see sin creates a bridge between the Creator and His creation .

My sins robbed me for a very large part of my life from peace – peace with my Creator , peace with my loved ones , peace with myself.

Believe we can have no peace as long as we do not have peace within ourselves.

Sin makes me feel guilty , makes me feel unease towards the person I have sinned against – whether its my children , my wife , my employer , my friends , my neighbor , my fellow employees , and last but not least my Creator.

To put the cherry on the cake we , as His creation , really believe that God does not know about our sins ( The Lord has seen this …… above scripture ) how ever we accept that the above scripture refers to the people of the Old Testament and not to us 2000 years later.

Pray that you will realize that the peace you’ve been longing for , praying for up to now is yours – yours to take – only if you make peace with that which kept you away from it till now.

7 ways 2 praise the Lord Apr 9, 2008 1:43 am

Lyrics:
Way back in the Bible, the Hebrew language says
That we were taught that we could praise the Lord in seven ways
Seven great expressions, seven different flows
Seven ways to worship God and this is how it goes

Number one is towdah (towdah), it's the sacrifice
Praising God inspite the fact that your world is in a vice
It's praise that pushes through the wall of all adversity
An offering that flows to heaven in our time of need

Somebody say mind (mind)
Praise the Lord (e)
Say body (body)
Praise the Lord (e)
Say body (body)
Praise the Lord (e)
Spirit (spirit)
Praise the Lord (e)

Number two's yadah (yadah), that means to lift your hands (lift your hands)
In response to what the Lord has done through the land
An outward sign of what's inside for all the world to see
A demonstration of our love so come praise the Lord with me

Can you wave one hand and say praise the Lord (praise the Lord)
Can you wave both hands and say praise the Lord (praise the Lord)
Now can you clap those hands and say praise the Lord (praise the Lord)

Number three is barouch (barouch), that simply means to bow
In the awesome presence of the Lord and all His power
To just be overwhelmed 'cause you hardly can believe
That you've been given favor by His Holy Majesty

Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

This fourth one is shabach (shabach), it is what we call the shout
It's praise that's given way before the answer comes about
A public testimony that drowns out all the noise
Of whiners and complainers as the saints all lift their voice

If you believe that God's alive today, shout yeah (yeah)
If you believe that He's worthy of our praise, shout yeah (yeah)
If you believe the answer's on the way, shout yeah (yeah)

Number five is zamar (zamar), this one you'll like fore sure
It's playing any instrument that glorifies the Lord
Instruments that blast, instruments that strum
Instruments that keep the beat, so I'll praise Him on my drum

Six we call halell (halell), that means to rave and boast
And praise the Lord in such a way that gets you on your toes
(Wait a minute, wait a minute) What (Hey now, what did you say)
It's beyond just clappin' hands
But best of all, this is the one that makes you wanna dance

Finally tehillah (tehillah), seven is the best
It's the one that is the combination of the rest
It's singing and it's shouting, it's dancing and it's more
It's wild, it's fun so everyone rejoice before the Lord

Praise the Lord (e)
Praise the Lord (e)
Praise the Lord (e)
Seven ways we can say
Everyone praise the Lord

Carman

Thank you for the reference Steve. I found it a blessing

Does it really matter? Apr 9, 2008 12:13 am

When I started looking at the Bible from a different angle in the sense of not just accepting what was written, but trying to understand why, a whole new world opened for me.

I realized that our Heavenly Father was looking out for us. For instance, the 10 commandments restores order to our community. Instead of asking why must I do it, my outlook changed to what will it change in my life.

I have been inquisitive about the Jews for a number of years, because the God who chose to teach them personally, is also my God. I wanted to find out what gave Him joy, made Him sad and most of all, how did He want us to praise Him.

A number of my friends that are in ministry teamed up with a number of Messianic Jews on various projects. This afforded me the opportunity to have a lot of queries answered.

Through this process I shared with family and friends what I thought was some new insight into my relationship with the Lord. I experienced a huge resistance, because now I want to go back under the law.

What surprised me most, was the fact that people accepted sin in their lives, and kept on saying but His grace is enough for me, I am no longer under the law. I had to ask whether it was an excuse.

When I read Susan's postpost 115748] , on the Sabbath, I realized again how precious some of these traditions are. Can you imagine, blessing every one of your family members like this, on a weekly basis.

Between our friends we started greeting each other with Shabbat Shalom, blessing each other on a Friday. Shabbat Shalom is first of all a Sabbath greeting; it intends to wish the peace of the Sabbath to each other, out of the rest and the quietness of that day, free from the urge of consumption or the tension of production and competition. It also refreshes our memory, helping us to remember that God is our common Creator and Father, and that His intention for humankind was our peace and happiness.

Would our christian society be any different you think if we instituted some of these traditions?

You have got to be kidding me........ Apr 7, 2008 8:27 am

Got email today from someone I do not even know:

Hi, There!
Good things are worth trying, I've already deposited my R150.00.

How about you give it try as well?

See the attachment.

Those that say money can’t buy happiness obviously don’t know where to shop - Personal quote.
Below is the true unedited story of David Johnson, business entrepreneur and once bankrupt professional who had nothing to loose and everything to gain…………………………………………………………………..

STEP 1 : MILLIONAIRE’S LIST
If you have internet banking, your banking will be so easy. If not, call at the different banks and deposit R50.00 into the bank accounts of each of the names listed below. If you have access to internet banking it will be quick and easy

MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE CORRECT DETAILS OF ACCOUNTS

REMEMBER :
This is a legitimate service for which you are paying. The listed people have bought this opportunity as you will and pass it on to others. There is a saying in the business world, “ALWAYS SPEND A SMALL AMOUNT BEFORE YOU CAN EXPECT TO RECEIVE LOTS OF IT”.

STEP 2 :
Edit the millionaire’s list by putting your name with your banking details in position Nr. 1. Move the other 2names on the list one position down. Nr. 1 is then in position Nr. 2 and Nr. 2 in position Nr. 3. At this stage,
after your banking is done, delete Nr. 3 from your list.

STEP 3 :
Get 200 names and addresses at random from a telephone directory or make use of collected business cards (also make use of news papers, job mail, junk mail etc.) and e-mail this document A.S.A.P. Don’t forget to send to friends, family and people at work. Don’t forget about your own e-mail address list. You can even make photo copies and deliver by hand in your area where you live or work. Keep in mind that the more
copies that go out, the more money rolls in!!! If you are honest and paid R50.00 to the 3 names, sit back and relax and watch those R50.00 notes flow in. It’s that easy. No hard work at all. Remember that by the time your name is at Nr. 3, you will be richer than rich. As soon as you send your 200 copies, you automatically in the mail order business and people are sending you R50.00’s from all over. It is perfectly legal.

Here are two letters from participants who took part in my previous mailings :

Long story short, they are now millionaires!!!

Is this what we came to?

AMEN Apr 5, 2008 1:14 pm
265 Views
The word Amen (Hebrew: אָמֵן, Standard Amen Tiberian ’Amen ; Arabic: آمين‎, ’Āmīn ;

"So be it; truly") is a declaration of affirmation found in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.

Common English translations of the word amen include: "Verily", "Truly", "So be it", and "Let it be". It can also be used colloquially to express strong agreement, as in, for instance, amen to that.

Have you ever thought of how we use the word AMEN. If it means SO BE IT, then why do we also use it when in agreement with something that we do not want.

For instance:

There are still too many people using the Lord's name in vain. Why then say SO BE IT?

Things have been a bit tough today and life is getting shorter and shorter every day and I want to take time and smell the roses.

So I am going to quit working for a while and travel full time with a Harley biker gang to see the country and enjoy life while I still can. Don't worry about me

- they all seem like really nice people one even has a tail

A photo of the biker gang is below.
