Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 6. Paul cautions against going to law in heathen courts. If we the Saints are going to be judges of angels isn’t it a wonder that we can’t settle our matters within the church? Surely we can find someone in the church wise enough to make a judgment. The laws of men can’t forgive or nullify sin. Sins are like cancer to the soul, if lived and died in, they will keep us out of the kingdom of God. Our bodies, which are the members of Christ, and temples of the Holy Ghost, must not be defiled. “¹⁸Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. ¹⁹Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, ²⁰for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, English Standard Version (ESV). Am I talking out of church or do we know what sin is? Sin is any act or thought that is contrary to God! The sin that goes on unrepentant in a person’s life separates them from God. “⁹Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, ¹⁰nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, ESV. Saints understand this we have been forgiven of every sin we every committed when we repent and ask Jesus into our life. If you were cleaned from cancer would you try to get it back? No! Cancer kills the body just as sin kills our spirit. Any believer who turns back to their sin is likened to a dog turning back to its vomit. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, let’s not grieve Him. God has a purpose for your life let’s avoid sinful thought, because that’s what leads to the act of sinning. Enjoy Jesus’ righteousness, yield to the Holy Spirit because that leads us to glory! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

The Best of the Feast

Jun. 15, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 5

A Little Sin Goes A Long Way!

Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.

Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 5. Paul isn’t just condemning sexual immorality among the Saints at Corinth; He is telling the Saints to cast out all who are living in sin. This means the unrepentant. We are new creatures in Jesus; living free from sin. “¹²For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? ¹³God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV). This is not about those in the world who do not know Jesus. We approach them in love telling them of God’s grace. The question is how do we approach the sinner who is already a member of the Church, a confessed saint? We turn to God’s owner’s manual for souls, the bible. “¹⁵“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. ¹⁷If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” Matthew 18:15-17, ESV. This is right in that we don’t gossip. We don’t turn on the saint like they are sin itself. We lovingly go to the sinner as God’s word instructs us;

1. We go to the backslider in private

2. We go to the backslider in the company of 2 or 3 witnessing Saints

3. Bring the matter to the church family

If at any one of these steps the saint repents you have gained a brother. The matter is no longer a problem worth speaking of. These steps are a must because sin is like cancer! A little bit spreads to the whole body.

If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

How Do We Mature?

Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 4 ←^(Hyperlink). The true character of gospel ministers are merely servants of Jesus and weren’t to be considered less. They hold an honorable office. We under no circumstance should despise ministers of Christ. Like Paul we regard those whom we lead to Jesus as spiritual children. Do we glorify God best in chastisement or love? “¹⁸Some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. ¹⁹But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. ²⁰For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. ²¹What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?” 1 Corinthians 4:18-21, English Standard Version (ESV). The Holy Spirit will tell us what we need to do and how we should share, carry ourselves and share God’s grace as Jesus’ followers. “¹⁵Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:15, ESV. Herein is where our truth lies, our relationship with Jesus should teach us to become more Christ like in faith, love and grace as we mature. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

What Gives Us Confidence?

Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.

Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site

Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 3 ←^(Hyperlink). Do you suppose yourself wiser than another in God’s scripture because you have known Jesus longer? Don’t fool yourself for the quality of our relationship with Jesus is far more important the length of our relationship. “¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” ²⁰and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ²¹So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, ²²whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.” 1 Corinthians 3:18-23, English Standard Version (ESV). Only the worldly automatically counts age as wisdom! Only God can see the inner most thoughts of each believer. We are all servants of the same God; no believer should set himself above another because Jesus rescued him before the other. As believers we can definitely know Jesus who paid for our sins. “²⁵For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” Job 19:25, ESV. We are sure of our redeemer because the Holy Spirit with whom we are sealed gives us confidence in the Word and love of God! This is folly in the eyes of the unbelievers because they are not sealed with the Holy Spirit. “¹⁶So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. ¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.” Romans 14:16-18, ESV. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

What Am I Waiting For?

Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.

Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site

Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 2. The apostle preached Christ crucified. We don’t know the mind of God; however we are educated by the Holy Spirit, in this doctrine. We can understand God’s intentions by the Holy Spirit. “¹⁴The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. ¹⁶“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:14-16, English Standard Version (ESV). We serve God proclaiming salvation through Jesus. We are not proclaiming equality with Jesus, we claim justification through Jesus! “⁵Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,⁶who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, ⁷but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” Philippians 2:5-8, ESV. We serve Jesus in love grateful thankfulness for salvation. We offer to share salvation with every person, emulating the grace that Jesus showed us on the cross. As we wait on the Lord, we can join Pastor Glen in prayer; “PRAYER FOR TODAY: Dear Jesus: We vow to “stay the course” and Lord we need help to restore the core beliefs among your people, namely recognition that God is our help and deliverer. We seek a revival that brings us to our knees asking for forgiveness. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.“ Waiting On God^{← (Hyperlink)}. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully begin to Feast in 1 Corinthians 1. Do you wonder why we refer to my brothers and sisters in Jesus as Saints? “²To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:2-3, English Standard Version (ESV). Because it is scriptural! We should continue to hold our work up to the Word of God. “²⁹so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. ³⁰And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ” 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, ESV. We want to reach as many as we can for Jesus. It is for that reason why we keep it simple. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

“The Corinthian church contained some Jews, but more Gentiles, and the apostle had to contend with the superstition of the one, and the sinful conduct of the other. The peace of this church was disturbed by false teachers, who undermined the influence of the apostle. Two parties were the result; one contending earnestly for the Jewish ceremonies, the other indulging in excesses contrary to the gospel, to which they were especially led by the luxury and the sins which prevailed around them. This epistle was written to rebuke some disorderly conduct, of which the apostle had been apprized, and to give advice as to some points whereon his judgment was requested by the Corinthians. Thus the scope was twofold. 1. To apply suitable remedies to the disorders and abuses which prevailed among them. 2. To give satisfactory answers on all the points upon which his advice had been desired. The address, and Christian mildness, yet firmness, with which the apostle writes, and goes on from general truths directly to oppose the errors and evil conduct of the Corinthians, is very remarkable. He states the truth and the will of God, as to various matters, with great force of argument and animation of style.” Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise),

God Bless You,

Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 36. Today we witness the step by step destruction of Jerusalem. The evil one enters in with his sin slowly so that God’s people are not shocked. Jehoahaz reigned three months before the king of Egypt over threw him and begin taxing God’s people. The king of Egypt put Eliakim on the throne. Neco took Jehoahaz his brother to Egypt. Jehoiakim (AKA Eliakim) did what was evil to his God. Jehoiachin his son reigned three months and ten days. He was insolent to God. Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem followed suite stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against the God of Israel. God had compassion on his people, persistently sending his word. The people remained stiff necked and mocked God. The king of the Chaldeans captured and burned Jerusalem. He sacked the city and those he didn’t kill he took as slaves. The proclamation of Cyrus; “22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing: 23 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him. Let him go up.’”” 2 Chronicles 36:22-23, ESV. God showed patience and gave his people many chances to repent and turn to Him before he allowed the destruction of Jerusalem. They were turned against God by degree. It was not all at once. Saints look at our nations; television of today wouldn’t have been stood for thirty years ago. I point to TV because it is a good barometer showing how Satan crept in degenerating slowly year after year. Look at our politicians; passing legislation to condone sin and promiscuous acts, by changing our laws slowly year after year. Who will step up and champion Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, in the changeless face of sin? It’s time to put your beliefs on the line. It’s time we take a stand against sin and for God. Where do we start? I think we need to earnestly turn to God in prayer. “¹⁴if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV. And we need to follow through living Christ centered lives. Full filling our purposes to God through Jesus; “²⁵Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25, ESV. Through Jesus we can live without sin, with a purpose. Saints you and I are charged with sharing Jesus with the world until He comes for us (see Matthew 28:18-20). Mankind is ripe for harvest! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
