Jan. 10, 2014 – Proverbs 12 Strive for Self Control! Whoever loves self-control loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is senseless. Proverbs 12  “…Those who have grace, will delight in the instructions given them. Those that stifle their convictions, are like brutes...” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 12. As we read Proverbs 12 we find that the saint who guards his thoughts controls his tongue.  “3 No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.”; “28 In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.” Proverbs 12:3;28 (English Standard Version) ESV.  When we guard our thoughts we are guarding against sin (see Matthew 5:28).  When we guard our thoughts we will further control our tongue against unrighteousness.  Our tongue contains power over life and death (see Proverbs 18:21).   “15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”” 1 Peter 1:15-16  ESV.  When we strive for self-control we are striving to walk in love and to be imitators (see Ephesians 5:1) of our lord Jesus. Do you hear Jesus calling you?  Do you want to answer God’s calling?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast does belong to Jesus!

Spiritual Wisdom!

Jan. 9, 2014 – Proverbs 11 Spiritual Wisdom! Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent. Proverbs 11  “A man of understanding does not judge of others by their success.” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 11. As we read Proverbs 11 we are shown the contrasts between spiritual wisdom as opposed to fleshly folly!   “30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.  31 If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!” Proverbs 11:30-31 (English Standard Version) ESV.  If I judge others by their success or make fun of them it is counted to me as senseless folly (see Proverbs 11).  A man of understanding does not judge of others by their outward appearance or success.   It is important to remember that Jesus would prefer that all men would come to accept the gift of salvation (see 2 Peter 3:9).   Once again I would say; “It is good to hate the sin and to remember that Jesus came to redeem the sinner.”   “19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21  ESV.  We share a loving spiritual God with the world; and only by the power of his Spirit can people truly know and share Jesus. Is Jesus calling you?  Can you still feel God’s calling?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast does belong to Jesus!

Jan. 8, 2014 – Proverbs 10 The Proverbs of Solomon Jesus is the Wisdom so often spoken of in Proverbs! Proverbs 10  “Through the whole of the Proverbs, we are to look for somewhat beyond the first sense the passage may imply, and this we shall find to be Christ. He is the Wisdom so often spoken of in this book.” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 10. As we read Proverbs 10 again we see the contrasts between seeking wisdom as opposed to folly!   “31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.” Proverbs 10:31-32 (English Standard Version) ESV.  When you and I seek to share Jesus with the sinner do we attack them for their sin or do we offer the love of Jesus (see Romans 12:9).  I think that when people are caught up in sin they must think Jesus is waiting to drop a hammer on their head.  The way some Christians present salvation to them sort of confirms that view.   Remembering that we are sinners whom Jesus saved we should find a better way to offer the love of Jesus (see Proverbs 18:19).   It is good to hate the sin but remember Jesus came to redeem the sinner.  “14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.  15 Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” Amos 5:14-15  ESV.  We share a loving God with the world; remember he is not willing that any should parish. When we share Jesus we are sharing salvation and love. Listen carefully; is Jesus calling you?  Are you ready to answer His call?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast does belong to Jesus!

Is Jesus Calling Us To Be Secret Agents?

Today’s Feast clic aquí en español Jan. 7, 2014 – Proverbs 9 The Way of Wisdom & Folly Proverbs 9  “The invitations of Wisdom. (1-12) The invitations of folly. (13-18)” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 9. In Proverbs 9 we see the contrasts between seeking wisdom as opposed to folly!   “16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks sense she says, 17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.” Proverbs 9:16-18 (English Standard Version) ESV.  Persons that hide what they are doing from the light of God’s Word are being foolish.  (see John 3:20).  People who seek Jesus and his love are at the beginning of wisdom and insight.  Jesus said that he is the light of the world (see John 8:12) those who follow Him have the light of life.  “1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1-2  ESV.  When we are walking in the light with Jesus; we’re walking in love!

The Blessings Of Wisdom!

Jan. 6, 2014 – Proverbs 8 The Blessings Of Wisdom! All the words of God’s mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. Proverbs 8  “Christ, as Wisdom, calls to the sons of men. (1-11) The nature and riches of Wisdom. (12-21) Christ one with the Father, in the creation of the world, and rejoicing in his work for the salvation of man. (22-31) Exhortations to hear Christ's word. (32-36)” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 8. In Proverbs 8 we begin to understand that the words of Christ, guide the most ignorant persons into the knowledge of the truth.  In these verses we find prudence and skill are from the Lord. They show Jesus is the Creator and the only Savior of people. We should listen to the voice of Jesus with the childlike enthusiasm. “35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, 36 but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”” Proverbs 8:35-36 (English Standard Version) ESV.    Jesus is still calling out to his creation today (see Revelation 3:20).  It is up to every person to answer Jesus while he is still calling (see Romans 1:28) them to be blessed.  “13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:13  ESV. Can you still hear Jesus calling you?  Are you ready to answer His call?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm On a personal note; today Sandra and I celebrate our forty sixth wedding anniversary.   Thanks to Jesus from whom all blessings flow!

Warnings Against The Seducers!

Today’s Feast   clic aquí en español I don’t speak Spanish so I use the Google translator to put the Feast out in Spanish for your convenience!  If the meaning of the Feast is being lost in translation please let me know; mstanj@hotmail.com Thank You! Jan. 5, 2014 – Proverbs 7 Be Warned Against The Seducers! Pleasant sins are the more dangerous, because they easily gain the heart! Proverbs 7  “Invitations to learn wisdom. (1-5) The arts of seducers, with warnings against them. (6-27)” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 7. Proverbs 7 begins as an invitation to learn wisdom then transcends to warnings against the adulteress. “26 for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng.  27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.” Proverbs 7:26-27 (English Standard Version) ESV.    God’s Word teaches us that a married couple becomes one flesh in in marriage (see Ephesians 6:2).  Adultery therefor becomes suicide (see Romans 6:23) as it rips the man and woman apart.  God will judge the adulterers; “4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” Hebrews 13:4  ESV.  Unity between same sex couples is not a marriage; in God’s eyes (see Romans 1:26-32) it is sin.  Believers should not marry non-believers (see 2 Corinthians 6:14).  Once you have accepted Jesus the only contact with unbelievers is to share the gift of God, Christ Jesus with them.  “17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17 ESV.

Practical Warnings Against Sin!

Jan. 4, 2014 – Proverbs 6 Practical Warnings Against Sin! Because the wages of sin are death both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. Proverbs 6  “Cautions against rash suretiship. (1-5) A rebuke to slothfulness. (6-11) Seven things hateful to God. (12-19) Exhortations to walk according to God's commandments. (20-35)” -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu - Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Proverbs Chapter 6. Proverbs 6 points out that we are stewards of God’s gifts, and we will answer to God if we waste them in foolish schemes.  We are to use due diligence in business not for worldly profits but so that we will not be a burden to others. Persons who are apathetic will be ruined financially.  Before any person commits adultery they need to consider what a heinous sin it is. “20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.” Proverbs 6:20-22 (English Standard Version) ESV.    We are to honor our parents in all we do; this is the first commandment that comes with a promise (see Ephesians 6:2)!  Let the love of Jesus lead you in every aspect of your life.  “8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8  ESV.  Any burden incurred as we follow Jesus will be easy to endure (see Matthew 11:29-30).  Reject sin!  Be good stewards of the gifts God gives us everything we do in the name of Jesus brings us Joy and peace of mind.
