A Perspective on Logs in Ones Eyes

 Ive seen a new perspective on cast log out of eye.....its not condemning.  It is simply a proper order of things.

 

The plumber should fix his own pipes.

The electrician his electrical systems.

The computer technician his computer systems.

Therefore likewise, a counselor must heed their own counsel. 

And a leader must be able to follow direction himself, even sometimes his own leadership principles.

Kill With the Sword and by the Sword Be Killed

 These were the words of Jesus Christ.  Let us review the principles and character of Christ revealed from his sermon on the mount.  What does it say? Blessed are the peacemakers...the humble in spirit...the meek...mourners...pure in heart.  Compare this with the love chapter, I Corinthians 13.  Observe the life of Christ who went about doing good, healing all who were sick and oppressed of the evil one.  Everything he did was a reflection in earthly form of the Heavenly Father.  He even said to Phillip, if you have seen me you have seen the Father.  How is it then that we want to lean to the the arm of the flesh--the sword--to protect us in the churches.  We build large cathedrals, value them at millions of dollars, take out huge insurance policies, hire armed guards, and begin to exclude people at the door for fear they might destroy our empire we have built with our own hands.  We set swords at the door and dare people to enter throug...

Can a Believer Have a Wrong Spirit

Consider this a sneak preview of Act 8.  Simon the sorcerer was saved, baptized, and still of a wrong spirit.  Here is the passage for your own reading: The Sorcerer’s Profession of Faith 9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done. The Sorcerer’s Sin 14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and ...

Good, Good, Good....Not Good

 In Genesis God creating things each day said, It is Good, and then suddenly he says in Gen 2:18, it is NOT GOOD for man to be alone.   The question posed is, how is it not good?   Qualitatively or Ethically?   Was God saying merely that his work was incomplete, and needed improvement, or that there was something unrighteous about Adam being alone? Dr.  Tackett argues that this statement is  ethically  not good because aloneness does not mirror the Divine social order.   We can see mentions of the Godhead saying, "Let us make man in Our image."   While God is well known in Hebrew, Echad, One, we know that in the New Testament Jesus reveals a Father, Son, Holy Spirit interaction with mankind.    It was not that Adam was imperfectly made, it was that a method of demonstrating family to parallel the family of God had yet to be created.  Eve was not made a separate man, but out of the man she was made, to b...
