The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [7] 11/24/2023 (Evening thought)

2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

This point above all others should be given greatest and due consideration when persons are thinking of tying the knot in wedlock, for some set of guidelines for raising their children should be decided upon up front, or else the children will grow up, being pulled and tugged in every which direction by the winds of change, fashion, and popular majority opinion.

Thus, very serious questions need to be asked, and ironed out before uniting for life, if persons desire to have children. Questions such as: [1] How will we be teaching our children to differentiate between right, and wrong? [2] What will be our common reference point in making such determinations? The Bible, or the X-Perts?

[3] When the kids get into trouble, like I did, once upon a time, who do they turn to? Christ or another set of experts. [4] Will we force our own arbitrary moral compass, according to what we “Feel” is right, and if so, when the children disagree, and question where we got our authority from, would we reach for that favorite answer, “We brought you into this world?”

Amos 3:Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [6] 11/23/2023 (Morning thought)

Deuteronomy 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Thus, when it came time to turn back to God, I knew exactly what to do. I didn’t need to attend those six- month evangelistic meetings where preachers start from scratch with the sinner. I didn’t need long Bible studies on the state of the dead, or any of the many doctrines we hold dear.

In fact, when the specific Bible worker came in to do the pre-baptism groundwork, and found out that all that she had been asking me I’d already known, and then some, it was then decided to dunk me without further questioning, for my parents had done their due diligence in instructing us in God’s word.

But what we have taking place today in many cases is that children are growing up without God’s moral compass, and as a result, the ability to differentiate good from evil is largely missing. Thus, without the steadfast moral compass of God’s word, kids end up with “My truth” since truth is made relative.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
