"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away"
Jn 15
Real friendship is more than simply knowing another person. Genesis 26:26, “Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.” The word translated “advisor” is sometimes translated as friend, the difference is knowing someone well, or being willing to trust someone with everything you have.
Thought for Today: Wednesday July 30
Alexander Maclaren, a well-known British preacher wrote in his memoirs: “What disturbs us in this world is not trouble, but our opposition to trouble”. And it is true --- thus, from today, put all your troubles in YHVH’s Hands. He will not let you down. In the midst of Paul’s painful illness, Paul begged YHVH to intervene and take it away. But YHVH replied: “My grace is sufficient for you” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Think of the suffering the Moshiach and the disciples went through – and you want an easy life? Love and trust YHVH, even in your troubles or pain.
There should be no divisions of the body of Messiah.
The body of Yeshua HaMashiach should be in unity, being of one mind and one accord. “Denominations” are, by definition, autonomous branches of the body established by man. These divisions often lead to varied interpretations of the scripture.
Apocalypse News Is the local news everywhere making is seem like "summer" is apocalyptic?
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
Romans 11:6 ESV
Grace is unobligated favor. If being chosen for a role in God’s kingdom could be purchased through deeds or donations (such as Catholic indulgences or purchased offices), then God would be obligated to respond to the required payment.
This doesn’t mean that one person can’t be chosen because he is more capable or more deserving of a role than someone else. It only means that any relevant capability or quality doesn’t obligate God’s choice. He is free to choose a person or a people who is completely unqualified and undeserving by human standards, as he did in the case of Israel, who were chosen solely because of God’s promise to Abraham, not because they had any special merit.
