Be Very Careful diane amberg, October 27, 2004 at 11:07:00 PM BST
by Don Ruhl Read Ephesians 5:1--16 Be Very Careful Friends, please listen to the following passage, 15 Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise (Eph. 5:15, NIV). Do not be sloppy or reckless with how you live, but do all things in wisdom. Ask yourself constantly whether you are doing the wise thing. It help you greatly to live a better life.

by Don Ruhl Read Ephesians Chapter 3 Freedom to Approach God Have you spoken to the ruler of your country? How easy is it for every citizen of a country to speak the ruler...daily, if you so desire? If you had the chance to approach the ruler, would you be nervous? What about approaching God? Does He care for me and listen to what I have to say? Let us turn that last question around. Do I care for God and listen to Him? If I can answer yes, then I can approach Him. Paul puts this way in Ephesians 3:12, 12 In [Jesus] and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence (Eph. 3:12, NIV). As a follower of the Son of God, I have freedom to approach the Maker of the Universe! Dwell on that for the rest of the day!

Otherwise, we would never succeed in life. The real question is what is our guide for judging. Why can we not simply follow the example of our Master and Lord? He said, 30 "I can of Myself ... more ... by diane amberg @ 5/18/05, 5:08 AM Do You Ever Feel Like Just a Name? by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This morning read First Chronicles 1--3 Do You Ever Feel Like Just a Name? Think on the manner, in which the Book of First Chronicles begins, 1 Adam, Seth, Enosh (1 Chr. 1:1). In this way begins the longest genealogy in the Bible. The names continue to the end of the ninth chapter! Were these just names? Adam; who is he? You know there is more in the Bible than the mere mention of his name in ... more ... by diane amberg @ 5/18/05, 5:05 AM ...

Some people were ready to kill Jesus for this perceived violation of the Sabbath Law. 16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath (Joh. 5:16). Jesus did a good thing. Yet, people criticized Him severely for it. And they were not people ... more ... by diane amberg @ 5/18/05, 5:03 AM They Were His Servants by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This morning read Second Kings 24 and 25 They Were His Servants As the writer of Second Kings explains whom the Lord sent against Judah, the writer said that this was 2 ...according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servants the prophets (2 Kin. 24:2).

When the disciples returned, here is what happened, 31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." 32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know" (Joh. 4:31, 32).
