Proverbs 6:23 – For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light; reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

Bible Challenges and Comments

These days are all but forgotten, these days are so deeply buried in time that many people today would say that what I am about to say is a lie. Okay, no one I know likes to be called a liar and even the liar will deny until the results of the lie become a noose around his or her neck.

The truth that looks like a lie to most is this: “The religious and moral education of youth was paramount in early American schools. The first book in the classroom was the Bible. It was central to a child’s education, not only for its content, but the way it was used to build skills. Students learned how to read using the Bible. Much of the school day was devoted to memorizing and reciting passages from it, and passages were copied to learn penmanship”. An excerpt from a website called – School; the story of American Public Education.

“The Tempe Union High School District (TUHSD) is reviewing sex education curricula. Last month the district’s Sex Education Curriculum Committee invited a Planned Parenthood employee to a meeting to present an overview of the abortion seller’s programs. The committee has not chosen a curriculum yet”. An excerpt from “Citizens Link a public partner of Focus on the Family”.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees; hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and arise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done without leaving the others undone; Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel”, Matthew 23:23-24.

A song by Hank Williams comes to mind and at this point and like you; I wonder why, but lets see the end result.

Poor ol Kaw-liga, he never got a kiss, Poor ol Kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed, Is it any wonder that his face is red? Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head. (The song ends with the Indian maid being bought and taken away from the antique store by a buyer, leaving Kaw-Liga alone), As lonely as can be, And wishes he was still an ol' pine tree.

 

Sadly, we American’s (and that would be specifically, us Citizens of the United States of America) have left our first love; that would be our LOVE for God. We used to sing: “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true and true and righteous altogether.  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them thy servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. Psalm 19:7-11 a Psalm of David; King of Israel.

 

Hank owned a cabin in Kowaliga Bay on Lake Martin, Alabama. The home was privately owned by Hank's daughter Jett Williams and was donated to Children's Harbor. Children's Harbor is a not for profit camp for seriously ill children and their families. The camp does not allow tours of the cabin at this time but does host weddings and functions when camp is not in session. It was here in 1952 this home where he wrote the song. This short story of Hank Williams is taken from information from Wiki-pedia. The long story is that we Americans have become “blockheads of pine”.

You know; history is good and we should preserve and treasure the past, but it seems that the national aim today is to destroy the values of our young Americans. What good can come out of rejecting God who LOVES us? Or; what evil can come out of accepting the teaching of a salesperson who is selling a future of death to an unborn child?

Preserve the Bible and protect the unborn, I do not like writing about such things and yet there are days when it is unavoidable. What I like to write about is this… The Laws of the LORD, the Testimonies of the LORD, the Statutes of the LORD, the Commandments of the LORD, the Fear of the LORD and the Judgments of the LORD; these are more to be desired that gold. Yes, than much fine gold; and in keeping them there is great reward.

Hebrews 9:28 - so Christ was offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for Him shall He appear a second time without sin unto salvation.  Jesse <><
