Thought for Today: Shabbat September 03:
YHVH’s Peace is like a shaft of Golden Light that shines on you continuously. During days of bright sunshine, it may blend in with your surroundings. On darker days, YHVH’s Peace stands out in sharp contrast to your circumstances. See times of darkness as opportunities for His Light to shine in transcendent splendour. He is training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate with Him in this training. Do never grow weary or lose heart.
My wife's family has a saying that a new baby will do wonders for helping you overcome selfishness. It will make all those selfish tendencies come to the fore so that you can whack it down. I typically do my selfish nature whacking at about 2am as that is when it seems to come out the most. ? ?
Shabbat even closer for me now. Some of you have already made it. Maybe you should take a seat, take your favorite drink, and your #bible and get things started right. #shabbatshalom
This is incredible!!!
The following is from creationmoments.com, March 29, 2021:
“New research shows that, when attacked, many plants make chemicals that will give munching insects a bad case of indigestion. They also seem to warn their neighbors about the attack so that they, too, start up their defenses. Some plants even call in air defenses. Some plants, when attacked by caterpillars, release a scent that scientists simply describe as ‘green leaf odors.’ These odors attract certain female wasps, who home in on the plant. The wasp will sting the caterpillar, leaving him paralyzed. She then lays her eggs in the pest, who remains paralyzed until the hatching young wasps consume it. That ‘green leaf odor’ is a plant’s way of calling in air defenses. It is communication between plant and insect! Some evolutionary biologists are upset with the intelligence and design in this arrangement. Plants are supposed to be too simple to communicate. As one evolutionist put it, this is ‘not a defense against anything’ … it ‘just happens.’ I remember trying that excuse as a child. The cookie jar fell to the floor while I was trying to sneak a cookie. ‘It just happened,’ I said, as if the cookie jar had come alive before my unbelieving eyes and jumped to the floor. My mother reminded me that things don’t ‘just happen.’ And science teaches us that things don’t ‘just happen.’ Not only do we see that God exists, we also see a bit of His love in providing for the plant and His intelligence as the author of communication.

Many in religion say that "Christ is the end (termination or abolishment) of the Law." Is that true? Has Messiah abolished the Torah? If not Messiah, has Sha'ul (Paul)? In this two part video series, G. Steven Simons addresses this question and the place of the Torah in the New Covenant. He clearly reveals from Scripture that both Yeshua and Sha'ul (Paul) taught right-standing through belief and right-living through obedience. https://youtube.com/c/TriumphInTruthMedia
