KILLER PLANTS

Reading: Luke 14:16-26
NATS: If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father, his mother, his wife, his children ... he can not be my disciple (Luke 14:26)

Some forest workers struggle to put out fires. Other workers battling for fast growing plants. Article in the Mercury News reported a team of volunteers struggled eliminate various plants that invade redwood forests in the Santa Cruz mountains. The workers say that many of them migrant species that are sold in stores eradicate the plant. Vines from Germany, for example, be a serious problem in California. Exotic house plants are fast growing and competing with native species that area. Poisonous vines that cover everything in its path and off. Plants that can "wrap" and destroy the tree.

With the thought of the damage that the plant, we are invited to understand something that is more important than saving trees. Jesus warned us that everything is competing with him to win the hearts we can turn off our spiritual lives. He said that natural love in the family can be dangerous and even hinder us to follow Him (Luke 14:16-26). 

God wants our love and loyalty to Him is not divided with the other.

If we treasure Christ above all things, we will learn to love our family with a deeper love and healthy. However, before we give absolute allegiance to Him, our love of family will grow in our hearts like fire or vines from Germany and destroy the forest.

Do not let anything compete with Christ - MRD II

THE MORE WE LOVE IN CHRIST,
MORE IN ANYWAY WE LOVE OTHERS

WRONG IMPRESSION

Reading: Joshua 22:10-34
NATS: This is a witness between us that the Lord is God (Joshua 22:34)

Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice (Pride and Prejudice), tells the story of a British woman from upper-middle class named Lizzy Bennet favored by Mr. Darcy, a wealthy man who subdued and complex character. The first time they met, Lizzy had the impression that Mr. Darcy is arrogant man, closed, and only think of themselves. So, when Mr. Darcy expressed love him, Lizzy rejected. Then, when Lizzy knows secrets about the many good deeds done Mr. Darcy secretly for others, Lizzy also admitted that he had been mistaken for Mr. Darcy, and eventually he was willing to marry him.

Joshua 22 records another thing about first impressions are wrong. The children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh have built an altar near the Jordan River. When the other tribes of Israel knew it, they were angry (verses 9-12) because Allah has ordered that only He is worthy of worship and offerings can only be done in the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 20:3; Leviticus 17:8,9). They looked at the construction of the altar which was the third such rate as an act of apostasy. Fortunately, Phinehas Priest sent an envoy to investigate the reason for the three parts to build the altar (Joshua 22:13-33). They then explained to the delegation that they had built the altar, a warning will be united all the tribes of Israel recognizes the existence of God (verse 34).

Often first impressions are wrong. Nonetheless, open communication can correct any misunderstandings caused by pride and prejudice us - HDF

THE BOOK OF LOST?

Reading: 1 John 4:1-3
NATS: Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. Is the spirit of antichrist (1 John 4:3)

Everyone likes a good story, but many people consider the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code as a historical fact.

The main storyline in the book is a suspicion that the lost book of the Bible has been suppressed by the church for centuries. The books are missing is claimed that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had a child of the marriage. It did not reveal the history and deceive many people.

Then why the church does not put these books in the Bible?

Is the book widely accepted among the leaders of the church? Is the Spirit of God speaks through the book? The books are missing it does not pass this test. However, all the books we have in the New Testament pass this test.

CROOKED AND STRAIGHT

Reading: Hebrews 11:1-7
NATS: By faith, Noah ... prepared an ark to save his family (Hebrews 11:7)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a famous preacher in the city of London, found that there is a principle in the life of Noah that "every act of faith to punish the world". "By faith, Noah ... moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became heir righteousness which is by faith" (Hebrews 11:7).

When interpreting the above verse, Spurgeon said, "Be holy .... I've heard that if there is a crooked stick and you want to show sebengkok what sticks, then you do not need to describe it at length. Place the a straight stick next the crooked stick. way you will instantly get the answer. Noah condemned the world and became heir righteousness by faith. "

The New Testament calls Noah as a "preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5), although none of the "sermon" it is written in the Bible. Perhaps Noah's obedience to God in making the ark that is the greatest testimony to the generation of self-centered and ruthless. "Just as God commanded him, so did he" (Gen. 6:22).

How easily we are tempted to criticize other people's sins committed. However, it would be much more remarkable if we choose to show the greatness and truth of God by living for Him - DCM

BELIEVE ON HIS WORD

NATS: I write these things to you, that you who believe in the name of the Son of God, know that ye have eternal life (1 John 5:13)

Many people who truly believe in Christ has challenged the safety that they enjoy. Although repentance and faith in Jesus as the Messiah, they are still wondering to myself, "Will I really go to heaven?"

My husband, the late Bill, often recount the events he had experienced when he was two years old. One day when he does not obey, he wandered out of the house and get lost. As I realized that Bill is gone, his parents went looking for him. They were so relieved when I finally find Bill who was crying. Then they were brought Bill home in a safe state.

A few days later, Billy heard his mother tell this incident to a guest. When got to the part that tells the story of their quest against him, Billy began to think of the experience. "Mom, Mom!" she sobbed. "Is she really used to find me?" Somewhat surprised and deeply moved by Bill doubt, the mother hugged him and said, "Sure, kid! Do not you remember the happiest moment? Now you're with us, and we guarantee you will always be with us." The soothing words of Billy because he believed the words of his mother.

EXPENSES inherent

Reading: Psalm 32:1-7
NATS: your problem Commit to the Lord, then He will take care of you! (Psalm 55:23)

Are you exposed fingers super glue or oil paints? You will find that what seems impossible to remove it can be removed with the right solution.

It is so live load. One of the kids I coached send an e-mail and asked me to pray for him. E-mail that reads, "I was not able to get rid of this burden. This is something that I can not submit to God. I am very upset about it. I know that I have to hand it to him and transformed. I really need the power of God to escape from that burden. I realized that God's forgiveness can cleanse me if I wanted to. decided I just need to be willing to let go of that burden. "

I responded, "The joy of the Christian life is to know that God can control whatever we submit to Him .... But at the same time, the Christian life is a huge burden that we - individuals who are weak and without this power - depends the problem that we should submit to God. We all know it is in a condition like this. "

Sin and our concerns, big or small, it seems to rub off on us like super glue. The solution? We must let go of the burden of our hands and put it on the shoulders of God. The Bible says, "Cast khawatirmu to God, He will take care of you!" (Psalm 55:23)

Why do we carry the load attached? - JDB

God understands our cross and burden,
Cases that hurt, our trials and losses,
He ignored every soul cried out,
And wipe their tears, sobbing. - Brandt

WARNING IN THE WORLD

Reading: Proverbs 13:1-14
NATS: Teachings of the wise is a fountain of life, so people avoid the snares of death (Proverbs 13:14)

Geese often come to the Mill Pool in England, where RBC Regional Director, Howard Liverance, live. Looking at it he wrote, "It is a beautiful place ... that is where ducks, geese, and other water birds playing with witty." However, there is a danger in that quiet place. Across one corner of the pond there is a power grid. A number of swans have died from stepping on while walking to the pool.
Howard spoke to many people about this issue and ultimately the power company put up red flags over the network. Now the geese can see the danger and avoid it. Since the installation of red flags, none of the dead swans.

God has already provided a "red flags" to protect ourselves. The Book of Proverbs is a book that contains numerous warnings about evil things and encourages us to seek wisdom. In Proverbs 13:1-14, we will be able to find some "red flags". "Red flag" that includes among others:
o do not ignore discipline and rebuke (paragraph 1);
o keep your mouth (paragraph 3);
o be careful in the pursuit of treasure (verse 7);
o shun dishonesty (verse 11), and
o Do not underestimate the word of God (verse 13).

The Word of God "is the source of life, so that [we] avoid the snares of death" (verse 14) - AMC
