		About The Berean | Archives | Random Berean | Subscriptions
		Printer version   Hosea 4:1-2 (1) Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. (2) There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. New International Version   Change Bible versions Faithlessness, when it has infected every area of a culture, blurs the distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, morality and immorality. Without truth, there is no reliable ethical basis for government, commerce, or social relationships. There are no solid standards. Without virtues upon which a majority agree, one can never be quite sure how another will conduct himself, and so everyone becomes untrustworthy. In this context, mercy connotes steadfast love rather than a singular act of kindness toward somebody in need. It means, then, that people waver in their loyalties. They pursue whatever fad comes along. We might say today that they "blow hot and cold." When they are "hot" they are "hot," but they can never seem to sustain it because, when their eyes are lured by some new, exciting interest, they are off in that direction until yet something else catches their imagination. The "knowledge of God" includes two elements: First is the knowledge about God, of His existence, Word, and way. The second is acknowledging Him. This denotes commitment, a steady loyalty to Him personally and to His way of life as a pattern of living. The context demands the second element, since God would have no reason to accuse people who were not aware of Him and His way of life. Because He is addressing those who have that basic knowledge, His complaints are directed at faithless, uncommitted people. In America, it is becoming almost impossible to find responsible and trustworthy people. John W. Ritenbaugh Excerpted from: The Seventh Commandment (1997)

Wow this is so true
Today's Bible Verse:
1 Corinthians 10:31
So ... whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (ESV)
Today's Inspiring Thought: All to the Glory of God
I love the simplicity of this verse. How can we go wrong, as followers of Christ, if we live by this directive? Imagine, whenever you are in doubt or in need of guidance, you can ask yourself this question: Will my actions bring glory to God?

We don't have to live our lives directed by whims or notions. As we read God's Word, study the life of Christ, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, we can know without any doubt what pleases the Lord. Then, all that's left to do is just do it! Give glory to God in everything we do.

FATHER GOD there is so much to thank you that I was not able to acknowledge the value of it, so many times YOU have given all those I've asked and yet I never stretched my hand to receive it, so many times I have frogotten how important is "everyday" in our life and yet I never appreciated it, the rains, the sunny days are also part of of life but I never consider it. LORD I pray for all my negligiance you will forgive me and still continue to open doors in all heart desires. THANK YOU LORD for being with us all the time. HALLELUJAH AND HALLELUJAH !

As I begin my day, I have many choices of how to do this. And, I have done them all countless times. There is only one way that is the most effective, to begin our day with Praise and Worship to the Lord. As we begin to humble ourselves before the Lord. Humble worry we might wake up with. Humble pain that might demand attention. Or any other things that would want to convince us, not to Praise and give Honor, to Our Lord. We set All those things aside, and zero in on the Love the Father has for us. We give Him who we are, at that moment. Not one who, lacks or is in pain. But, a child of His who, Loves Him and wants to Thank Him. At that moment we are just so privileged, to be able to Worship Our Creator; Our Saviour, Our friend, and Our Dad. We are not asking Him for anything, because we are Thanking Him for everything! The more we Praise Him, Joy begin to spring up. With that Joy comes strength. Strength to face that worry, that pain, or whatever the case may be. In confidence we are able to cast our cares on Him. 1Peter 5:7 And cast all your cares on God, for he takes care of you.; Turn all your anxiety over to God because he cares for you. This is the Power we have available to us everyday. Yet, knowing this I do not start everyday this way. Why? Gal 5:16-18 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. Knowing what we are up against, understanding the benefits of obedience. We learn and grow. We do not allow any condemnation to be heaped, or even placed on us. The one thing we must not do is, give up, walk away, and deny the Truth we have experience, through the Spirit of God. Past that we all have times of struggles, and doubts. It is what we do with them, when they come. Through all of mine I have learned. God’s Love has no equal! The Spirit will pick up where you left off. No matter what you might have done, Jesus will never leave or forsake you. So as we lift one another up to the Lord, let it be in Jesus Name, we wake up and Praise His Name.

    15For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints, 16do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; 17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

This is part of who we are and how we conduct ourselves.  ALL the GLORY goes to JESUS!!!  We are lead by Holy Spirit, we no longer live as we once did.  Those parts of us; our prior behavior; the sinful nature we lived in.  It all has been  nailed to the Cross.  We are not bound by those activities, of our past.  WE ARE FREED FROM THE SHACKLES THAT HELD US, THOSE HAVE BEEN BROKEN.  GLORY, PRAISE, AND HONOR, to the ONE WHO SET  US FREE!!!
