Beware of False Leaders
BEWARE OF FALSE LEADERS
1 JOHN 2:3-4 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
MALACHI 2:7-9 7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. 8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
ISAIAH 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

All Women Are Mothers and Sisters, Don’t Leave a Single One Out of the Special Celebration of Mother’s Day. .
All Women Are Mothers and Sisters to Others, Don’t Leave a Single One Out of the Special Celebration of Mother’s Day.
John19 26-27 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
I remember being at a Senior Citizens Center when Mothers were being recognized. Or so I believed. After about 5 minutes or less I observed one lady with such a sad look on her face. I took her aside and asked her if she was feeling well. She said she was just feeling sad because she was the only lady that was not part of the celebration. I felt for her having been hurt so badly and in front of all the others about. A bit later I privately spoke to the director of the facility and asked if their was something she could do to rectify the situation of part of the senior citizens community family. We wanted no one to be left out of the group. She proceeded to acknowledge the person and apologize for having missed her during the giving out of the little gifts that had been given to all the other ladies. Sometimes the young act in motherly ways to the old. We need to remember to uplift one another.
In our church I try to emphasize that all females are mothers and sisters to others. We nurture and encourage one another. We try to help everyone, male or female, young and old. It is something that God put in us. Men do this too. They are there as father and brother figures for one another, as needed.
Jesus is our example. We should do as his word instructs you and I. We are to be care givers to others in need. God bless and keep you in the palm of his hand.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

ROMANS 11:1,5 1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
REVELATION 14:1-3 1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
True Education Comes From God

2 TIMOTHY 2:15-19 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.

Turn The Light On
TURN THE LIGHT ON
PROVERBS 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
1 JOHN 1:7-9 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
JOHN 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
JOHN 3:19-21 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
JOHN 12:35-36 35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

PROVERBS 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

PSALM 51:10-12 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
