Strange Comments Heard Just This Week. For what its worth

Pastor, this kid's mom is a lesbian whose “husband” is doing crack and whose dad is the drug lord! What kind of life is the kid going to have?!

Good question. 

 [Just after prayer meeting] Dawn! I just saw a dead woman in the vacant lot across the street! She is totally white and green! I can't believe it! It was SO scary!! I’m still shaking! Wanna go and see her?

NO.

 My friend was suffering a panic attack. So, I laid her head on my chest and began to stroke her hair. After a few minutes of doing that I reached for her hand and got shocked! It was as if I had touched a 110 hot wire! Pastor, how would you explain this?

 Don't know... static electricity? Demon?

Billy's (of course not his real name, to protect the "innocent") brother went fishing and fell into the river during the hard rain. He hasn't been seen in hours. He couldn't swim and Billy thinks that he has drowned. [Two days later] They found Billy’s brother in the river along with 15 other people! Six had drowned and ten had bullet wounds and were thrown into the river to make it look like they had drowned!

Oh life here in Brazil. Never a dull moment. Stuff that you just don't hear everyday. Thank the Lord!

If this is the kingdom of God, do I really want it?

If this is Kingdom Living, Do I Want it? Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. In a study of the Sermon on the Mount to this point we might be tempted to say, “I don’t want to be that happy!” If this is Kingdom living then I want to go to Disney World. This place is depressing.  What Jesus describes here seems to highlight all of the ...

What? How?

 27 “But to you who are listening, I say:  Love your enemies,  do good to those who hate you, 28  bless those who curse you,  pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek,  turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat,  do not withhold your shirt from them.  30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.  31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.  32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.  33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.  34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.  35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.  Then your reward will be gr...

Don't take him back there!

Abraham has his son Isaac, who was the promised one. He was to be Abraham's heir and the one through whom the blessing would come. Having been a miracle child himself, he had a slight problem. He was now in his early forties and still single. If he didn't find a wife the Abrahamic covenant would never be fulfilled and Jesus would not be born.  It was a crucial moment when Abraham called his servant to swear that he would find a woman for his boy. The oath was binding only if and when the discovered bride came back to Abraham's tent. If she didn't, the deal was off.  We know that she did come back and ended up having twins, Esau and Jacob. However, there is a couple of verses that drew my attention to an important principle for us to think about. Look at 24:6 and 8,  Genesis 24:6 "Make sure that you do not take my son back there," Abraham said. 8 If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of mine. Only do not take ...
