The Mind & Body

"Between the mind and the body there is a mysterious and wonderful relation. They react upon each

other. To keep the body in a healthy condition to develop its strength, that every part of the living machinery may act harmoniously, should be the first study of our life. To neglect the body is to neglect the mind. It cannot be to the glory of God for His children to have sickly bodies or dwarfed minds." Mind, Character & Personality vol.2, p.373 E.G.W.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

IN the NEWS - Paul Crouch Dead

For there are certain men crept in unawares,

who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,

ungodly men,

turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,

Jude 1:4

"Paul Crouch, co-founder of the popular Trinity Broadcasting Network, has passed away at age 79. Crouch had suffered for more than a decade with chronic heart problems.
Crouch and his wife, Jan, founded TBN in 1973, and the next year purchased the network's first station, KTBN-TV 40 in Southern California. It grew to become the most watched faith network in the country and the seventh largest owner of broadcast TV stations.
Joseph, Mo., March 30, 1934. Crouch graduated from the Central Bible Institute and Seminary in Springfield, Mo., in 1955 with a degree in theology. He met wife, Jan, in 1957." CBN

Enoch Lonnie Ford who had an
affair with Mr. Crouch & was paid
Hush Money

It should be noted that Mr. Crouch was an example of everything wrong today in "Christian" broadcasting. He airs shows that have NO business on a Christian network-and he sells out for the money. He was documented by the LA Times to have had an affair with a male employee whom he had paid $425,000 in hush money. Then the man decided to become un-hushed and demanded millions. Crouch and his wife were split up-he living there in California & his wife out in Florida. She would have to fly back & forth and put on a show as if all was well between them and appear on the show. He threatened to cut off her money if she didn't. Also, his granddaughter, Brittany Koper, sued him in 2012 for getting fired after she blew the whistle on his illegal financial schemes and accused the family of a slush fund they were illegally funneling money into from their donations.
In another case in court-testimony was given by another granddaughter as to being raped at 13 and Crouch's covered it up for protection of the TBN image.
Then of course there was the Haiti debacle when the Crouch's cut off their promised funds for a children's hospital when they were told about what one of their TBN "missionaries" was making gay advances on some of the Haitian boys. Rather than investigate, and terminate the employment of the accused if true-they withheld the rest of the money from the hospital.

Mrs. Crouch in 2012, holding up a hand written
statement from Mr. Crouch on his supposed deathbed
that year (he recovered at that time) of him declaring that
he wanted his son Matt, and not Paul Jr., to inherit and
run TBN. A short time later, son Paul Jr. was
ousted from the network.

Rehoboam (Pandering to the Young)

Rehoboam, upon becoming king, pandered to the young among him and ignored the counsel of the seasoned elders. As a result, Israel was torn in 2. Is the same thing happening today? Is this quest to pander to the youth (who we are told are leaving the churches in droves) resulting in a divided church? Progressive vs. traditional in worship styles & doctrines? We see & hear this from creation/evolution to homosexuality/women ordination debates. If truth has to be watered down, or rejected, as a result of "listening" to someone--then that someone would be wrong.

So are the youth never to be listened to?-- NO...they can  have good ideas too. But if those ideas go against, or weaken Biblical doctrine, well then.....

And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying,

My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke:

my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

1 Kings 12:14

 

But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.

2 Chronicles 10:8

Last act of the Lost

The LAST act of the lost will be that of following (literally) Lucifer against God before all the creation of the universe to witness. So as they are destroyed once & for all in the lake - of - fire (hell) there is NO question that God made the right decisions during this Great Controversy. God is vindicated.

 

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,

Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle:

the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth,

and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:

and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Revelation 20:7-9

 

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say,

Thus saith the Lord GOD;

Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince....

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand,

and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel,

thou, and all thy bands,

and the people that is with thee:

I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort,

and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Thou shalt fall upon the open field:

for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

And I will send a fire on Magog,

and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles:

and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 39:1,3-6

IN the NEWS - Atheist billboard onslaught in Sacramento

"Dear Friends,
An astounding 55 atheist billboards will soon go up in Sacramento. There must be a sale on billboard space here in the California capitol because the local chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation just purchased enough space to put up approximately 55 billboards over the city in the next month. It seems to be part of a massive publicity effort to counter the religious themes of the holidays. This is the largest group of atheist billboards to ever go up at once in the US. Each billboard features a local atheist/s along with a quotation of his/her choosing. Naturally I believe in the freedom of speech, so besides prayer how, if at all, do you think Christians should respond to something like this?" DougBatchelor via FB

"Malls are beefing up patrols with off-duty cops.  The National Retail Federation issued crowd management guidelines, urging stores to prepare for flash mobs, long lines of angry customers and crowded washrooms. The Washington-based trade group has sent out the memo annually since a Wal-Mart worker was trampled to death in 2008 during a Black Friday melee. Shoppers are “anxious to be first,” he said. “They get really rambunctious coming in the door. You have to be informative so they’re not going crazy looking for whatever.” With more stores opening on Thanksgiving, malls have been seeing more guests who drank too much booze with their turkey,....

Looks like once again that the King of the North (Papal Rome) is being pushed against by the King of the South (Spiritual "Egypt"/the secular world).

"The Obama administration, in what’s been called an egregious slap in the face to the Vatican, has moved to shut down the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See — a free-standing facility — and relocate offices onto the grounds of the larger American Embassy in Italy.
Catholic Vote, a publication for the Church community, called the move “an unmistakable slap in the face” that clearly communicates that the United States cares little for the diplomatic facility.
And Mr. Nicholson went on, as Breitbart reported: “It’s another manifestation of the antipathy of this administration both to Catholics and to the Vatican — and to Christians in the Middle East." TheWashingtonTimes

Creation Moment 11/29/2013 - SDA Creation Movie

 "And the 27-minute, professionally produced film that the General Conference Executive Committee, called “Creation: The Earth Is a Witness,” will be one of the denomination’s key evangelism efforts for 2014.

http://vimeo.com/78072521

“This incredible project is going to be a blessing to every single church around the world that is able to show it,” President Ted N. C. Wilson told the gathering of 350 pastors and other Annual Council
delegates who watched the movie, which shows a day-by-day account of the Earth’s beginnings, filmed and edited with the cinematic quality of a major motion picture.
“Creation,” opens with music to a scene shot in Iceland, in which Moses shows his scroll to his son, Gershom, while teaching him about the creation. A narrator, meanwhile, reads from Hebrews 11, explaining the meaning of faith.
The next scenes focus on each creation day using powerful images of nature that play out while the male narrator reads from Genesis 1:1-2:3.At the end of the film, Moses and his son are kneeling before an altar, while the narrator reads the command to keep the Sabbath day holy. Then the screen fills with shots of waterfalls, clouds and sunlight emerging over snow-capped mountains, followed by the logo, “Seventh-day Adventist Church.”
The movie is the highlight of a multi-faceted approach to teach creationism around the world." ANN

Creation Moment 11/27/2013 - Why Creation is Important

In one sense, Genesis 1:1 is the most important verse in the Bible: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” If we can believe this verse, no other verse in the Bible should be a problem.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

Sleepy like Eutychus? -- don't fall too

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus,

being fallen into a deep sleep:

and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep,

and fell down from the third loft,

and was taken up dead.

Where have we been warned about "falling asleep" while we wait?

 

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Trouble not yourselves;

The "Really" File - (Birthmarks of Reincarnation?)

For the living know that they shall die:

 but the dead know not any thing,

 neither have they any more a reward;
 neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:5



From the "Really" File

"In some cultures, birthmarks are thought to be connected to aspects of a person's previous life.
Dr. Jim Tucker at the University of Virginia has been continuing the work of the late Dr. Ian Stevenson who investigated more than 210 cases of children with birthmarks believed to hold some significance to a past life.

One example of this is the case of an old woman in Thailand who told her family that she would like to be reincarnated as a boy. When she died, her daughter dipped her finger in white paste and marked the back of her mother's neck with a distinctive vertical line.

A short time later the daughter gave birth to a baby boy who remarkably appeared to exhibit a birthmark identical to the white line she'd painted on to her mother's neck. When the boy got older he also developed the habit of claiming possession of items that belonged to his grandmother as if they were his own." UnexplainedMysteries

IN the NEWS - Evil Stalks North Korea

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, .... murders,

Mark 7:21

"As many as 80 people were publicly executed in North Korea earlier this month, some for offenses as minor as watching South Korean movies or possessing a Bible,...the so-called criminals were put to death in seven cities across North Korea on Nov. 3, in the first known large-scale public executions

by the Kim Jong-un regime.
“A source, who is familiar with internal affairs in the North and who recently visited the country, told the paper that about 10 people were killed in each city,” the story went on to say.
“Eight people - their heads covered with white bags -- were tied to stakes at a local stadium in the city of Wonsan, before authorities shot them with a machine gun, according to the source.
“Wonsan authorities gathered a crowd of 10,000 people, including children, at Shinpoong Stadium and forced them to watch the killings.”
“I heard from the residents that they watched in terror as the corpses were (so) riddled by machine-gun fire that they were hard to identify afterward,” the JoongAng Ilbo source said.
Relatives or accomplices of the execution victims implicated in their alleged crimes were sent to prison camps.

“There is no clear reason for the executions. One government official noted they occurred in cities that are centers of economic development. Wonsan is a port city that Kim is reportedly planning to make a tourist destination by building an airport, hotels and a ski resort on Mount Masik,” said Fox News.
“Simultaneous executions in seven cities could suggest an extreme measure by the North Korean government to quell public unrest or any capitalistic inclinations that may accompany its development projects." ChristianTelegraph

Creation Moment 11/26/2013 - Monogamy evolution?

"Monogamy: Researchers Disagree on Why Mate Fidelity Evolved

Is it because of infant killing (infanticide) or where females live or ...?

While there has been a good deal of interest in the evolution of monogamy, we still know little about why mate fidelity has evolved in mammals. In the recent studies using similar methods of analysis in which social monogamy was defined as "males and females living in breeding pairs", "One group of researchers says monogamy evolved in primates to counter the threat of males killing babies to boost their siring success. The other team concludes that mammals, including primates, became monogamous when females live far away from one another."
 And, as evolutionary anthropologist Eduardo Fernandez-Duque of the University of Pennsylvania notes, “It’s unlikely that one size will fit all.” We need to be very careful about grand theories because different factors may lead to the evolution of social behavior in different species."

Genesis 5 Genealogy & Prophecy

"Adam = man

The Hebrew word Adam means “man.” Adam is also phonetically very close to “adamma,” which means “ground,” from the dust of which Adam was formed (Gen. 2:7)

Seth = appointed, granted, given

After Cain murdered Abel, Eve became pregnant and gave birth to Seth, saying “God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew” (Gen. 4:25). The name Seth means “appointed,” “granted,” or “given.”

Enosh = mortal, frail, feeble

Enosh is from the root anash, meaning incurable, or leading to death, as in a mortal wound, a grief, a woe, a sickness, or a wickedness. 

Kenan = Sorrow, dirge, lamentation

The exact meaning of Kenan is obscure, but it possibly means to chant a dirge or lamentation, or to sing a sad song. Other commentators state that the word means “possession.” 

Mahalalel = The Blessed God, the Praiseworthy God

The first part of the name, Mahalal, means “blessed” or “praise.” The last part of the name, El, means “God.” (Interestingly, a plural form of El is Elohim, but when used in reference to the Hebrew God does not mean “gods” but “God,” as in Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth.”) Hebrew names often incorporate el, as in Daniel, which means “God is my judge.” Mahalalel means the “The Blessed God.” 

Jared = Shall come down

The name Jared comes from the very common verb yaradh, which means to come down, go down, or descend, or to leave a prominent place such as a palace.

Enoch = Discipling

The name Enoch comes from the verb hanak meaning to dedicate (or initiate, or inaugurate), as one would dedicate a building, wall, altar, or image, after completing it. (Hanukka, which will be celebrated soon, means “feast of dedication.”) Alternative meanings are to imprint, to instruct, to make wise, and to train, as in, “train up (hanak) a child in the way he should go.” (Prov. 22:6) The derivative hanik means, “trained.” (see, e.g., Gen. 14:14) 

 

Methuselah = His death shall bring

God revealed to Enoch His plan to destroy the world with a Great Flood (PP 85), apparently telling Enoch that as long as his son was alive, God would forbear judgment. Enoch made his son's name a prophecy: “When he dies, it will come” or “his death shall bring it.” If you add up the numerical data given in the chrono-genealogy of Genesis 5, you will see that Methuselah lived until the year of the Flood. (See, e.g., Spirit of Prophecy, v. 1, p. 170: “Methuselah, the grandfather of Noah, lived until the very year of the flood; and there were others who believed the preaching of Noah, and aided him in building the ark, who died before the flood of waters came upon the earth.” ) Methuselah's name is thus a prophecy within a prophecy.

Think about the fact that Methuselah lived longer than any other man who ever lived and died (969 years) in conjunction with the prophetic aspect of his name. God stated that he would bring the Flood at the end of Methuselah's life, then He made Methuselah the longest-lived man in history. Truly, God is “slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished” (Num. 14:18). “God is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:8-10)."

Health Note - Egg Sandwich from Subway

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,

and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,

Genesis 1:11

"David DiSalvo, a writer at Forbes, decided to really look into the eggs in popular fast food breakfast sandwiches. What he discovered was that their "eggs" are really a strange concoction that includes eggs and "premium egg blend." Some things that are in this special blend include glycerin, a solvent found in soap and shaving cream, dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone that can also be found in Silly Putty, and calcium silicate, a sealant used on roofs and concrete. The age of just cracking an egg and cooking it has long since passed." Renee Jacques

Why all this rebellion?

Why all this rebellion? Why do so many "Christians" rant against the Law of God by hiding behind cheap grace? Why do they bash the "do's & don'ts" of God? Didn't this whole mess begin by disobeying some "rules" of God? When will Christendom learn?

Job 5:3

Is Mr. Dawkins an intellectual dwarf? I'm being SERIOUS.... read below his quote....
"All appearances to the contrary, the only watchmaker in nature is the blind forces of physics, albeit deployed in a very special way. (Uhm, who did the deploying? How did they wind up in an organized fashion?) A true watchmaker has foresight:  (With all due respect-doesn't this undermine your argument?) he designs his cogs and springs, and plans their interconnections, with a future purpose in his mind's eye. Natural selection, the blind, unconscious automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. (Huh? Did you just contradict yourself? If a "true watchmaker" = foresight & design with purpose---but you admit "natural selection" doesn't do that, yet we have an "apparently purposeful form", ---did you not just contradict yourself?)It has no mind and no mind's eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker."

669

His lord said unto him, Well done,

Matthew 25:21

"Mr. Winton organized the rescue and passage to Britain of about 669 mostly Jewish Czechoslovakian children. These children were destined for the Nazi death camps before World War II. The operation was known as Czech Kindertransport. The peculiar and most noble turn of this story is when we find out Nicholas Winton purposefully didn’t tell anyone about Czech Kindertransport, not even his wife Grete about his rescue efforts.
How did she find out? How was the story uncovered? It’s quite interesting.
In 1988, Grete found a scrapbook from 1939 in their attic, with all the children’s photos, a complete list of names, a few letters from parents of the children to Winton and other documents.

The survivors gather together in this video to show their appreciation for Winton."

Sabbath of Sanctification

So is the Sabbath to be taken literal today or symbolic of resting in His grace?

 

SANCTIFICATION of the Sabbath:

You keep it literally on the path of your Sanctification. For God is our example-& you do as He did.... And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:3   But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,....For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:10,11

 

JUSTIFICATION of the Sabbath:

You are to also spiritually rest in His Grace of the Sabbath. He completed the works to save you. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,...And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5:14,15

In Summary:

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise,

And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,

and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

For if Jesus had given them rest,

then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

For he that is entered into his rest,

he also hath ceased from his own works,

as God did from his.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest,

lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:4-6,8-11
