Here are some new blog posts for you! My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/I7WRU
Proverbs 30:11-14 describes a progression of prideful evil beginning with despising your parents at home and ending with tyranny over the weak in the nation. Beware of prideful people. If they don't learn humility soon, their pride will only grow. Don't be closely associated with them because you will be tempted to adopt their attitudes and eventually be destroyed with them.
How many Great Commissions are there? That question came to Dean Bye in the early years of his work helping Jewish people make aliyah and return home to Israel. Like most Christians, he knew of only one Great Commission, but there is another that directly impacts what Dean and his family and friends are now doing through Return Ministries, the Aliyah Return Center, and the Altar of Prayer. We learn about that in this second part of our three-part conversation with Dean.
Dean’s obedience to God’s call has caused him to get up and take action – especially the action of traveling to and sojourning in the Blessed Land of Israel. That, too, is part of God’s commandments for His people. How it applies to us today is the subject of “Three Feet,” the midrash by David Jones and Barry Phillips. Barry goes on to sing about this, as does Will Spires in his latest musical offering.

Language evolves and causes confusion even for what should be the easy words. When measuring something do we use a rule or a ruler? Originally if one wanted to begin measuring from the exact edge a rule was used because the marking began from the edge. if you desired a more precise measure a ruler was used and the beginning mark was not the edge of the instrument but a beginning mark was established very near the edge. Yes this gets complicated to explain because today we simply use the words interchangeably. When using the Bible as a standard of measure, we always begin with the fist verse, In the Beginning… Never should we begin measuring from the middle.
