'BEFORE THE MOUNTAINS WERE BROUGHT FORTH , OR EVER YOU HAD FORMED THE EARTH AND THE WORLD, EVEN FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING, YOU ARE GOD.' (PSALM 90:2)
SIGNIFICANT HOLY SCRIPTURES TO TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO 'ISSUES' IN LIFE - AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!
NO EXCUSE NOT TO CHECK IT OUT - FOR YOURSELF AND CERTAINLY NO EXCUSE NOT TO PRAISE HIM!!
Here in this 'room' of my home 'in Jesus', you will find that there are 'biblical principles' in the Holy Bible to actually cover every single area and issue of a person's life. Having 'the faith of Jesus', living a life that pleases the Almighty God, is not easy, but, it is certainly possible. And, unlike with humanity's 'theories' from mankind's 'limited' knowledge, when you follow the Word of God, YOU, I, CAN NEVER GO WRONG. And, by His grace, with the leading and guidance of His Holy Spirit, one who has come to 'the faith of Jesus', will 'overcome' and 'prevail', no matter the 'topic' at issue. Thus, we study His Word in another manner - through 'topics' that we face in our lives.
Go ahead, let's try one issue. How do you deal with 'anger'? What is written in the Holy Bible?
First, it may surprise you to learn that no one can make you angry. And, circumstances do not cause you to get angry. That's right. As it is written:
'For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, thief, false witness, slander.'
(Matthew 15:19)
When you are tempted to be angry, what is happening? You have some unfilled desires of your own, which are not being met. As it is written:
'What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.' (James 4:1-2)
Short of the matter, we want something, have cravings and desires, do not get it, so, WE GET ANGRY. So the next time you feel 'anger' rising from your heart - stop! Ask yourself, what is it that you want, and, how are you trying to get it.
Then, know this for a certainty - anger is not going to make anyone do what you want them to do or help you get what you want. As it is written:
"Know this, my beloved brothers: let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.' (James 1:19-20)
That is right. Your anger is not going to get anyone to do what is right in the eyes of God, and surely you do not get angry if someone is refusing to do something you are asking them to do that is wrong. (Hum.) Anger does nothing good, It does not 'change a person's heart, on the inside'. [But, it certainly reveals YOUR heart on the inside, hum? And, it greatly causes resentment, and can lead to others - retaliating in horrific ways. Are you watching all the 'violence' in the world???? In families, schools, governments, etc. Be not deceived.]
Finally, let us not downplay the seriousness of the fact that anger is - sin. That's right, anger in the heart towards another person is deemed as - murder without any outward actions. As it is written:
"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'you shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; who ever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!', will be liable to hell of fire." (Matthew 5:21-22)
Thus, anger is a serious matter of your own heart and not to be treated as 'blowing off steam' or such. It is, DEADLY. MALICE AFORETHOUGHT!! BE EVER SO CAREFUL. Once it starts to 'erupt' in 'rage', well, you see it daily in 'the world'.
You see, this is but one example of 'issues in life', [topics], covered in the Holy Bible. More shall be posted for your enlightenment and encouragement, hopefully so that you will learn how, with the help of the LORD, have the 'fruit of self-control' growing in you, that you may be able to live a great life. [See Galatians Chapter 5] Consider checking this 'room' out frequently. If you have any suggestions for 'topics', let us know.
This is but a sample of what you will be finding in this 'room' of 'my house in Jesus' over time. So, please return often. And, remember, YOU, 'search the Scriptures' for yourself. [Acts 17:10-12] Begin to let Him speak directly to YOU through HIS WORD, if you are 'in Him'. YOU NEED TO 'KNOW' FOR YOURSELF, THE GOOD SHEPHERD'S VOICE. [John 10:3,11,27; 18:37; Hebrews 13:20]
So, voila! You can be just as 'privileged' as I am as you 'seek the Lord' on all the issues of your life.
For the Lord does have plans for you, and you can only discover them - directly from 'the Source'!
(2 Chronicles 7:14; Isaiah 55:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Matthew 7:7)
