"Allow" means to give God permission to be Lord. We must give Him by our volitional will thru belief and confession and obedience allowance for Him to be Our Lord. We must let, permit, authorize, sanction, license, and enable God to be your new creation which constitutes the death to the right to ourselves and complete dependency on Him as your new life. He will make you into His likeness therefore. It is you willing to give Him His will as your own.


Are we all one? - your answer: yes we are

Ok - But why and how? Is there a difference between Christians being one and mankind being one? Is all of mankind nonetheless one as well? Explain your answer. What makes mankind one? What makes His Church one? Are they both one? Or is there separation of groups? Yet, is there still oneness in all of us?

I'm going to make it a point to visit often as I miss my peeps. Also, it is always good to meet the new peeps too. I wonder if slave and HUFL love each other and are contemplating marriage but they probably won't let on in this thread. It would seem a shame though if they went their own separate ways after months of displays of affection. I hope that's not the case.

I read this this morning and thought i should share.
Message..........:-GOD THE REFUGE OF THE RIGHTEOUS. ​

Bible passage:- Psalm 94:1-15
1. O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth, O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3. LORD, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4. How long shall the utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5. They break in pieces thy people. O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7. Yet they say the LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10. He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11. The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vanity.
12. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of their law.
13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14. For the lord shall not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15. But judgement shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Amen. Does anyone have anything to say on this?

Well this is the NASB version:

“O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth! Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud. How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult? They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves. They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans. They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed." Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones? He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge? The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath. Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law; That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
‭‭For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.”

To me, this perhaps is one of Davids psalms about how much he is was angry with the wicked people who don’t acknowledge who God is and what He is capable of doing. David can sometimes seem such a sensitive person based on some of his writings but I guess it’s because of how much love he had for God.

What I like about this piece is that not only does David take his frustrations out but he also encourages the reader about how God will not abandon his people, despite the evilness and wickedness that they do and that God is righteous in everything including fair judgment.
 
Why celebrate?
To celebrate the fellowship that we all have in here, the friendships, laughter, comfort, and most of all LOVE in CHRIST that we all have shared in here, and the 20K is a milestone of that indeed!!!
