Good morning, ladies! Today we’ll be looking at the third commandment found in Exodus 20:7 which tells us, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” I remember when I was a kid that this commandment… Read More »
Graven Images
Hello ladies, Today we’ll be looking at the 2nd commandment, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” Modern translations say, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under… Read More »
God first!
Good morning, ladies! I thought we could start a new series on the ten commandments. We all know them but are they easy to keep. We’ll start at the beginning with Exodus 20:3 which is the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before me.” Seems pretty clear, we are to worship God alone.… Read More »
Expectations
Hello ladies, Sorry for the late post but I’ve been really sick. It would seem that I have round 2 of the pneumonia I had in January. I’m still coughing and wheezing a lot so I guess I can honestly say it’s improved but definitely not cured. Since we finished our series on the Beatitudes,… Read More »
Persecution
Hi ladies!! We have reached our final beatitude this week in Matthew 5:10 which says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” What exactly is persecution? The dictionary definition is “a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away or subjugate people based on their membership in… Read More »
The Peacemakers
Good morning, ladies! Today’s beatitude is found in Matthew 5:9 and it says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” This was an interesting one for me because I used to think of being a peacemaker as being nonconfrontational and not keeping the ball rolling by joining in on the… Read More »
Are You Pure in Heart?
Hi ladies! Today we are looking at the 6th Beatitude which says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” That should certainly make us want to be pure in heart, but what is pure in heart? I’ve heard it described as being good but I think there is more to it… Read More »
Blessed Are The Merciful
Good morning ladies! Today we are continuing thru the Beatitudes with Matthew 5:7, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.” The word “mercy” basically means compassion, kindness and forbearance. The Bible mentions many times that we are to be merciful and shows that Jesus was merciful. One of the definitions of mercy is… Read More »
Are You Hungry?
Good morning ladies As we continue thru the Beatitudes, today we’ll look at Matthew 5:6 which says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” I don’t think any of us have experienced true hunger when it comes to food. We are lucky to live in a country where… Read More »
Meek or Weak?
Good morning ladies! What a morning! I typed this all up and had it worded just the way I wanted and then my computer decided to send my work into an undisclosed location in the cyber universe. So I had to start over and redo it. Of course, you can never state the same thing… Read More »
