    Return To The Gold Standard

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 6, 2023
     | 691 views

    "Doing to others as you would have them do to you" is another way of saying "Love your neighbor as yourself," which isn't easy. Love seeks their long term good, not their short term happiness.

    About 50 years before Jesus’ time, two famous rabbis were competing for the future of Judaism. One, Rabbi Shammai, was an engineer known for the strictness of his views. The Talmud - that is, the authoritative commentary on the Hebrew scriptures - tells that a gentile came to Shammai and told him ...read more

    Paul warns and urges the Corinthians to break away from their old lifestyle of visiting the prostitutes, counting their excuses with the truth of God's gift and design for sexual relations.

    As Christians, knowing God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, we live by a different code of conduct. We live by God’s standards. • They are not standards we abide by to gain God’s favour; they are standards we live by because we have been saved from sin and changed by God. • We are redeemed, forgiven ...read more

    Election in the Church today is very ugly at every level from local congregation to the international forums. According to their spiritual standard people play the politics in a simple position to the highest rank. God hates.

    Theme: Election in the Church Text: Acts 1:15-26 Greetings: The Lord is good and his Love endures forever. Introduction: Election in the Church today is very ugly at every level.

    Double Standard Or Higher Calling?

    Contributed by Steve Sheek on May 8, 2023

    Delivered on 6 May 2023 at Tree of Life Messianic Congregation in Katy Texas. The instructions given to Moses in the Law had much more stringent requirements for the priests than for all others. Seems like discrimination.

    The lack of the written Law is not the problem, the issue is sin. All have inner knowledge of God's law & some have the external law. It is not so much which law you have, the one written in everyone's inner being or the one written in God's book.

    ROMANS 2: 12-16 GOD'S UNIVERSALLY KNOWN STANDARD [James 1:22-24 / Galatians 1: 6-12] The principle stated in Romans 2:11 that "there is no partiality with God" would shock the Jews.

    Matthew shows us Jesus as the preacher of the kingdom of heaven. He shows us just how high heavens standards are and how to properly understand the law. Be perfect, like your Father! That’s the whole point.

    Matthew seems to have been written to a Jewish community under fire for their faith. He talks about the kingdom of heaven in ways that suggest how hard it is to enter. The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more
