Isaiah 60:10 says, “And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.” (Isa. 60:10). Jesus came to earth, conceived by the Holy Ghost, in the virgin, Mary, born of the virgin, Mary, espoused to Joseph (Matt. 1:18-25). He had brothers and sisters (Mark 6:3). He started His earthly ministry at about the age of thirty (Luke 3:23). And for three and a half years, He healed, did miracles, and forgave sins. And at Passover in 31 A.D., Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried, and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.

The Bible prophesied immigrants helping us and vice versa

Men, Women and God – Part 5
Men, Women and God – What is a man and a woman’s role in relation to each other and God according to Scripture? – Part 5
Something I have struggled with the last few years is a man’s role in relationship with his female counterpart. I have experienced relationships with women in a multitude of ways, Grandma’s, Mom’s, Sisters, Girlfriends, Friends and Co-workers. I will admit I have not always been perfect in my attitude towards women and at times I am sure a few of them have wanted to ring my neck for the way I treated them. With that all being said, there must be a good way for men and women to interact, regardless of what type of relationship they are in with each other. This week I will tackle the question of men and women’s relationships with each other and God, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Last, the point is women deserve just as much equality, opportunity, love, salvation, etc. as any man in this world and just as much in the world to come! Regardless of what sex you are, colour your skin is or family background you come from, do not let the world’s defined role of a woman or man stop you from fulfilling the plan God has for you in this life and the life to come. Bibles, Prayer, Knowledge, God’s protection, and Fellowship are available to us all, regardless of sex, put your trust in Christ and follow Him!

In the New Testament, Jesus has quite a few experiences with women. Not the least of which, the Bible says that He was ministered to by them (Matt. 27:55)! Of course His mother was a woman, and she was considered blessed among women for her role in physically birthing the only begotten Son of God (Luke 1:42). But He defended women left, right and centre, it would seem. The Bible says, that “true religion is taking care of the fatherless and the widows” (James 1:27). And it would seem that that is what Jesus was doing. The point is that true religion is not sexist. True religion and faith in Jesus Christ give women the same freedom that any man can have here on earth, and eternal life in the world to come!

Now, let’s talk about the reference to the female in a spiritual sense. The Bible talks about wisdom and personifies it as a “she” (Proverbs 1:20). In the New Testament and Old Testament the Church is referenced as a woman (Isaiah 54:5; 2 Corinthians 11:2). So if God and the men who wrote the Bible for that matter were willing to refer to wisdom and the Church in the female sense, there is very obviously an important role in eternity for the female! It may seem that I am stating the obvious, but in this world, we can to quickly forget or downgrade the importance of diversity, including in the greatness of the uniqueness between the male and female body, mind and spirit. Both created by God and considered to be “very good” (Genesis 1:31)!

Next, let’s talk about the role of women in the Bible and the world for that matter. I do not think there is a role a man could play in this world that a woman could not. There are a multitude of stories in the Bible that talk about men and women; fighting, reigning, running business’s, ministering, etc. The point is that if it came down to the nuts and bolts of the matter, there is no doubt in my mind that a woman could do, with God’s help of course, everything that a man could do in this world, to be deemed successful in the eyes of our Maker and even the world for that matter! Of course the number of “successful” men mentioned in the Bible compared to women may be quantified as higher, I don’t know. But I have often heard that “behind every successful man is his female counterpart”.

First, let’s talk about the first two human beings created here on earth. Adam was created by God and then a rib was removed from his body to create Eve. This is interesting, because I have heard that women have more ribs than men. Is this physical evidence of the creation event? Anyhow Genesis 2 says that woman was created to help man, this was decided after no suitable help was found in the rest of the earthly creation (Genesis 2:18-25). This is the first indication of our relationship purpose; a man and woman were created to work together! Is this not a wonderful gift from God?!

Repentance – Part 3
Repentance – What is it? – Part 3
Change can be a very hard thing to face. We get very comfortable in our daily, weekly and life routines whatever they may be at the time, but that does not always mean they are 100% right. We habits affect our attitude, physical health and mental health, both for ourselves an others around us. But what can we do about it? This week I will talk about the developing a repentant attitude using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Last, we need to remember that we can “try” to be good as much as we want, but that is not going to work out in the end. We have all of these “causes” in the world that we support that are good in and of themselves, but none of these works can save us from death or earn us a spot in heaven (Ephesians 2:8, 9). Our sinful nature is far beyond anything we can control by ourselves, we need God to help us control and resist our fleshly and carnal desires that bring about death (Romans 6:23). The point is that faith in Jesus Christ is really the only answer to our problems, sins, bad habits, etc. We cannot work our way out of our sins they can only be blotted out by Jesus Christ’s blood (1 Peter 1:18, 19). He gave His life for us, so that we can live (1 John 3:16, 1 John 4:9). Not to live for sin and death, but to live for God and life in Christ Jesus, who was, is and is to come!

What is sin? For a Biblical interpretation, “Sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). In laymen’s terms, it is anything we say, think or do that goes against or is un-agreeable with God’s ways, will and commands. Now that all being said the Bible says that, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23). That is why we need Jesus, because we are all sinners, whether we believe it or not. John said, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8). The point is that we need a relationship with God and we need His atoning sacrifice through Jesus Christ to cleanse us of our sins (1 John 2:2). As the Bible says, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
