Bugs

Leviticus 11:20  Don’t eat insects that have wings and walk on all four feet; they also are to be hated. ‘Don’t eat bugs.’ -God God used His Word to keep the people safe in the wilderness in a time that germs and diseases were yet to be discovered.  God still does.  Back then God used the insects to remove the invisible things that would […]

Retirement

Matthew 7:26-27  And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell… Look at the picture above!  Jesus warned us about this!  Here is a guy who built his […]

Humility

Matthew 6:2   So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Have you ever noticed that there are no classes or self help books on how to be humble?  It’s because humble people don’t realize that they are. Here are two verses about […]

Lazy

Prov 10:26 KJV As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. Although the King James Version of the Bible (my fav) doesn’t use the word lazy it does use the word ‘sluggard’, which means lazy person.  Lazy is kind of a gentle way of saying ‘sluggard’. The spanish word for lazy is ‘perizoso’.  Also the word for sloth is ‘perizoso’.  They move […]

Gleaning

Leviticus 23:22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God. As a Christian I am always astounded when I want to introduce someone to another Christian, but that Christian […]

T.E.A.M.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. T.E.A.M. – Teaching, Encouraging, Admonishing, Ministering I have never seen an American pastor, of any teams that have been down here, reprimand the praise and worship leader of […]

Shine

Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance[a] upon you and give you peace. Shine means to give out a bright light. God’s light, shining out of his face, onto you!!  What an interesting blessing, but what is it?  It is a blessing […]
