"Is God always fair?"

We beg God, not for fairness, lest that bring judgment, but for mercy, so it will not.

O Lord, God of Israel, you are just. We stand before you in our guilt.

"The Golden Rule."

Imagine how different our world would be if we practiced this principle, not just in our "church life" but in our daily life with our family, with our coworkers and employer, with the people we manage, with the folks on the freeway and in the neighborhoods where we drive, toward the waiters and waitresses who serve us. What a wonderfully different world it would be if the Golden Rule were to be practiced.

I think I'll start changing my world with it today!

How about you?

In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:12

To treat others as you would be treated would change so many things in the world, thanks for the thought, heaven...:rockon:

"What should I do when justice is abused?"

Continue to do what is right. Don't become unjust yourself.

"Be just and fair to all", says the Lord. "Do what is right and good."

"Sowing the seeds of (fruit and blessing) love..."

Isn't it incredible how huge trees grow out of tiny seeds! This principle runs throughout all of life. We can never completely get away from the seeds we sow. So let's not fool ourselves while we're trying to do a "snow job" on God. Let's make sure the seeds we sow are the ones we want sprouting up!

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Galatians 6:7-8

:pimp:

Only God knows all...even to the point that a seed that man percieves as a weed, after sprouting, is also useful... :D ...

again thanks for the thought, heaven.

"Ask, Seek, Knock!"

Ask! So often we're afraid to ask for help because we have to admit we don't have the answers. Seek! Effort and interest and perseverance are necessary and that's sometimes hard. Knock! But God wants us to use the A.S.K. principle and bring our hearts before him. So let's not whine, complain, desire, and want. Let's A.S.K. our Father and seek his glory.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

Matthew 7:7-8

"Wisdom."

Wisdom is ours only if we seek it above all other possessions and value it above all other diversions. God longs to impart it, but there is something about wisdom that demands we value it before we can receive it.

If any of you lacks wisdom he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

"Nonjudgmental intervention."

In a day when intervening in someone's life is no longer politically and socially correct, these verses ring out like a gunshot on a still night. Sin is still real and is just as deadly as ever. Yet because we fear being branded judgmental, we let many who are trapped by sin go to their spiritual death. The call is for nonjudgmental intervention, we recognize the gravity of the sin and the need of the sinner, without feeling arrogant in our righteousness. "There but for the grace of God go I."

If someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

Galatians 6:1

Heaven

:pimp:

Let Not Your Eye Be Darkened, FEAR NOT theme which kill the body but are able to kill the soul But rather to fear him which is able to fear both soul and body Matt.11.28 Matt.7.2.5 For With What Judgemeant you judge you shall be judged and with what messure ye mete it shall be measured to you again, and why beholdest thou motes that is your brothers but tak a look at your own eye and behold what is your probleam, thou hypocrite first cast out that beam out of your eye and then ye shall see clarly to cast out the mote in your brothers eye :jam:

temptation is like a vapor that seeks it's own level...to help someone instead of judge them...we therefore, must humble ourselves while remaining strong in our faith and beliefs, and let them know we will always be there for them.

again, a very good choice in scripture, heaven...:rockon:

"Humble yourselves."

That sounds obscene. At least to the culture of self-promotion and "get ahead at all cost" and "don't look back, the competition is gaining on you" it sounds obscene...

Humility is a forgotten virtue. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is about knowing our proper place in the world without flaunting it. Only God can exalt in a permanent way, so the key is to know our place before him and let him put us in the place he chooses to honor him.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

James 4:10

"Spiritual Warfare."

How often do you forget that we are in a spiritual war? Our enemy is deceptively cunning, take away the immediacy of a threat and the danger appears gone. But he's there, always. But rather than try to guess his plans and counter all of his moves, Paul reminds us to simply take up the tools God has given us and stand up to the evil one.

Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

"Genuine worship."

Genuine worship is a gift. Since God is spirit, since he is holy, we cannot fully approach him without the gift and blessing of his Holy Spirit. As Christians who received his Spirit when we were baptized into Christ and born of God, we can now speak to him and worship him Spirit to Spirit.

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in truth.

"You mean I have to put up with that!?"

There are those folks in life about whom the saying is true: "They are the grit out of which we are to fashion our pearl." But our great example in this challenge is Jesus. Think of what he had to put up with in his 12 disciples. Remember how transformational his patience and gentleness with them was. Can we dare to less?

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

"Forgiveness"

Forgiveness is such a sweet blessing. But God does more than forgive! He cleanses and forgets. His love is not metered out or carefully rationed. He pours it out upon us if we genuinely seek him as our God and Father.

You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.

Psalm 86:5

"Forgiveness"...how much better it would be if mankind could reflect such a thing...but with humans, seems there are always strings attached with forgiveness...and sadly most of them never forget...all part of the unconditional LOVE that is our Creator.
