Blessed are the Pure in Heart

ByS2S Admin 11/01/202311/01/2023

Just imagine if ALL the evil elites were arrested, charged and dealt with – all the evil politicians, bureaucrats, and the like – what would the world be like? Would we have peace and harmony… and freedom?

Well, by studying human nature, I don’t think it would be too long before we dig ourselves another hole. It wouldn’t be long until greed, pride, prejudice and politics poke up their ugly head. It is all part of human nature. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

Shine On!!

Isn’t it true, that the more lights you turn on in a house, the less darkness there is. DUH!!! Pretty obvious, eh?

Well, shouldn’t that be the same for us believers in this dark world? The more believers who have their lamps burning brightly, the less darkness we would have. So then, why should the darkness, and the powers of darkness scare us?

All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil by anxious thoughts and forebodings… Learn how God’s word can help you overcome those anxious thoughts… “My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings.

New and Old Mindsets (Wineskins)

ByS2S Admin 14/10/202210/01/2023

Why is it harder for someone who has been indoctrinated in one way of thinking to break free and accept something new? Old mindsets are like old wineskins that cannot contain new wine. The old is comfortable, safe and sound, even if it may be wrong. One brought up with these old teachings has a bias towards them. It takes a long time to change one’s mind when one has been indoctrinated, whether for good or bad. These old mindsets based in Old Testament law, could not receive the new teaching that Jesus was bringing.

Blessed are the Meek

ByS2S Admin 16/06/202210/01/2023

This morning I read: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the land.” (Matt 5:5) Who are the meek? Those who are gentle and do not retaliate, because they know that God will vindicate for them. They do not try and protect or fight for their own rights. Their hearts are settled and confident in God.
