“Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
Matthew 19:19 (KJV)
This sounds so simple, right? I sometimes wonder if the true meaning is to honor the fathers and mothers who are followers of Jesus. There are so very many sad stories of fathers and mothers who are not abusing their children that it is hard to believe God would want those children to honor such parents. Just saying...

A lot of the OT was written for the Jews, so a lot of it does not apply to the New Covenant Christians or Church. Some of it is kinda boring, but it all falls under the History of Gods people. There are many parts that should be studied seriously because they DO apply to Christians and the Church today.
Much information and guidance and inspiration can be gleaned. A few books I can think of right off are Psalms, Proverbs, Jeremiah, Isaiah and other Prophets. Reason for some of them is they "testify" of Jesus. Who He is and His coming. These parts are called the "justification" of Scripture. Meaning it proves the truth of Scripture.
I read the Bible complete at least once every two years. And, to be truthful, most times I discover something I had not read/understood before.
You don't build a house starting at the walls and working up to the roof. It will not stand. You MUST build a firm foundation on solid ground for the house to stand the storms of this world. That is why we should read the OT in my opinion.
Welcome to CC.
"who are not abusing their children" ???
Yeah, don't know how that "not" got in there. Wee Elephant's fingers got carried away there...sigh...
I actually got a refund an item (that I probably have bought in the first place).Ebay has got me a couple of times. But, eventually, after demanding a refund and six weeks past, I got what I had paid for. Have not used them since those times. That doesn't stop them from emailing me on a regular basis wanting my money though....
Saw a commercial earlier that made me laugh, and then kinda sad because of the full depth of what it inferred.
It was titled: MEN ANOMOUS. A group of men were sitting in a room and they prayed the "Man's Prayer." It went like this:
I am a man. But I can change if I have to, I guess."
Funny at first, but then somewhat sad if you think about it a little more.

I've heard that joke too, and its completely hilarious. Far too many women find themselves attracted to a man, and then wrongly think, "There's things about him I don't like, but that's okay - I can change him." News flash, ladies - you can't! We as men are usually very set in our ways, extremely proud and stubborn. If you try to change that on a whim, trust me - you're not going to like the results.
For anybody who knows who Jerry Savelle is, he went to glory today. He prayed over me once at church years ago, I'm sure he'll RIP

A stroke fairly recently, followed by a heart attack. And just 77, too - that's still young in this day and age. My prayers are definitely with his family.
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

Anyone match this verse with one from the New Testament? Yeah, it's an easy one...

I pass, I can't even see straight yet, lol, slept in, one sip of coffee so far.“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

Soaring with eagles
