Read about our recent trip to the rural areas of Anhui Province where we taught at a number of churches and training centers.  We gave them a good word from the Lord as well as encouraged them to "bloom where they're planted."

We taught them how to be about the Father's business in word and deed.  "Blessed is the servant whom His master, when He comes, will find so doing!" (Matthew 24:46)

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you, and will remove your lampstand out of its place – unless you repent.
Revelation 2:5 NASB

Remember – Do you remember those days, the days when you first experienced the joy of fellowship with Him, the days when that burden you carried was lifted away, the days when you knew His presence as clearly as you knew your own being?

Same Song, Second Verse

Prof. Skip Moen, D.Phil.
http://skipmoen.com/ 

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.  Proverbs 27:1  But now you boast in your presumptions.  All such boasting is evil.  James 4:16

Boast – Open your day planner.  Look at the top of the page for tomorrow.  Do you see God’s fingerprint there?  If you don’t, then perhaps this word is for you.  Both Solomon and James are singing the same song.  It’s a song about presumptuous self-sufficiency.  What’s interesting is that whether the word in Hebrew or in Greek is something good or bad depends on the context.  Only the surrounding attitudes and actions can tell us if the day planner is filled with humility or with pride.

If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin  James 2:8-9

Show Partiality – James was still a Jew.  When he wrote his letter to the first century Christians in Greek, he still used ancient Hebrew expressions.  He just converted them into Greek words.  Once you see what lies behind the idea of “partiality,” you will be amazed at the wisdom of the ancients.  You might even wonder if evolution isn’t backwards.  Those who lived closer to the Creator (in temporal span) just might have greater insight than we do.  Wouldn’t that make an interesting headline?

James' Beatitude

Prof. Skip Moen, D.Phil.
http://skipmoen.com/ 

Blessed is the man who endures temptation   James 1:12

Blessed – “Blessed are the poor in spirit.”  We know this famous phrase from Matthew 5.  What we might not realize is that the word chosen to introduce the Beatitudes is not a word about God’s benevolence.  It is a word about my own internal state of mind.

Ever feel like a wilted flower that needs the refreshment that comes from just a few drops of morning dew? God's Word says that King David craved the Lord's presence like a parched deer pants for water (Psalms 42:1).

East Gates has just produced a CD, Blessing Your Spirit. It's composed of 21 blessings taken from Sylvia Gunter and Arthur Burke's popular book, Blessing Your Spirit.

This project came about through the inspiration of Lotus Buds International. They work to encourage, support and educate families in China to adopt their own orphans. Having worked in the country for a number of years, they observed how nannies and caregivers in orphanages needed spiritual food to nourish their soul. After reading Blessing Your Spirit, they thought it would be a good idea for a CD to be produced with that very idea in mind. They approached East Gates on the project.

Some of the blessings cover topics such as: Knowing Your Purpose, Freedom from the Fear of Man, Sound of Heaven, Kingdom of Peace, Seeing God's Fingerprints and more...

Divine Audiology

“and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.”   John 10:3

Hear – The human ear detects frequencies between 15 and 20,000 cycles per second.  That range gives us a wonderful appreciation of the deepest bass tones in a thundering waterfall and the highest shrill of insects and birds.  Of course, there are more sounds out there than we can actually hear.  Just ask your dog.
