HUMAN LOVE & DIVINE LOVE: How To Recognize Love - Part III

Up until this point we have been considering the principle of love, real true love as demonstrated in the life of Christ. His love was divine in origin and was the practical illustration of how love should be revealed.

By studying the life of Christ we learn that if love is to be recognized it must find expression through three basic features of one’s personality and character.

Love should be seen in the looks and manners and heard in the tones of the voice. Mark 10:21/ John 19:26/ John 13:23

Immediately, as we evaluate our own lives, we begin to see problems. As human beings our looks, our manners and our tones of voice do not always reveal love. Human love is not consistent.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO TYPES OF LOVE:

DIVINE LOVE & HUMAN LOVE

HUMAN LOVE

Have you ever noticed when someone close to you seems to love you and at other times that person seems to dislike you ? Is good to you and sometimes not so good ? Consider this...

Human love may change but CHRIST’s love knows no change

...GOD is love.” (1 John 4:8) “...I am the LORD, I change not.” (Malachi 3:6)

Have you ever wanted the attention, recognition, appreciation or love of another human being ? Think about this...

1. The heart yearns for human love, but this love is not strong enough, or pure enough, or precious enough, to supply the place of the love of JESUS.

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love : Jeremiah 31:3

2. When it is cherished in the heart the love of CHRIST is preferred to the love of any human being. (Romans 8:38,39/Luke 10:27)

Notice how one author shares some inspired principles of guidance for human relationships...

Your love for that which is human is to be secondary to your love for God. The wealth of your affection is to flow forth to Him who gave His life for you. (John 15:13)

We are to have supreme love to God, and our friends are to be loved secondarily. Our love for husband, wife, brother, sisters, father, or mother, must be inferior to our love to God. (Matthew 10:37)

And only as we love God supremely is it possible to love our neighbor impartially. (Matthew 22:37-39) This is contrary to the popular idea that people must love themselves first in order to love others. Actually, it is in the tendency of human nature for people to love themselves first and in a false way or too much. This is called self-love or selfishness and it really isn’t love at all. Those who sow selfishness will reap selfishness. In rejecting the love of Christ they reject that which alone can impart purity and steadfastness to human love.

Notice that human love is not to be discarded or totally abandoned. It is to receive its purity and steadfastness from the love of Christ. Human love alone will never satisfy the deep longings of the soul which were implanted there by the Creator Himself. Neither you or I however, would want to live this life without human love so don't despair. God's plan for human love gives it a beauty, depth, value and purpose that most people have never experienced...

We will continue to study these things in our next post...

Is This Your House ? - Life Check

What does your house look like ? No, not the house for which you purchase homeowner's insurance. The other house. The one with 5 senses; your body. It has been said that the body is the house that we live in, the home of the mind. One Christian author referred to the body as "the habitation of the mind." {SpTEd 33.1} Is your life upside down ?

Are you taking care of yourself ? For those of you who have been visiting the website, new information regarding stress, vaccinations and weight management has been uploaded to www.issues-of-life.com. Look in the health issues section under health hazards and health restoration.

STRESS: the antidote for stress is the most important of the 8 laws of health.

TRUST IN GOD

So don't be discouraged when you see how much stress can impact one's health. There is a balm in Gilead. God has a cure for every hurt and a remedy for every pain. His prescriptions may be found in the Bible.

Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Matthew 11:28

Rest is another one of the 8 laws of health that will serve to counteract the effects of stress. It is offered by Christ in the Bible and is specificlly mentioned as one of the 10 commandments. It is part of the commandment that begins with the word "Remember."

The commandment to rest begins with the word remember so that we do not forget to rest on the 7th day. It is the 4th commandment and is found in Exodus 20:8-12.

God intended that the day of rest would be an exquisite delight in the Lord.

I hope you have a terrific weekend with Christ.

T.K.

FIVE (5) WAYS THAT LOVE DOES GOOD - How To Recognize Love - Part II

This is a continuation from the study, "How To Recognize Love." In the first part we considered the fact that true love is a principle which has a divine origin. We also discovered that true love does good and nothing but good. What is the practical demonstration of this goodness ? How can we recognize love when it is doing good ? According to the Bible, God is love and God is good. Since, Christ was the representative of God, we can look at His life for examples of this love and goodness.

5 Ways That Love Does Good

1. True love will look out for the present and eternal good of the soul .

Jesus wasn't just concerned about what was happening in a person's life at that moment. He labored to prepare them for a future eternal life in heaven too. See Mark 10:17-21

2. True love is a love which seeks first the honor of God and the salvation of souls. Those who have this love will not evade the truth to save themselves from the unpleasant results of plain speaking.

Jesus demonstrated this. He was always concerned about the honor of God and the salvation of souls. He did not evade speaking the truth to save Himself from the unpleasant results which would follow. See Luke 4:16-29 and Matthew 16:21-27

3. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour ROMANS 13:10

Jesus told a story that illustrated this and demonstrated it Himself. See Luke 10:30-37 and Luke 23:34

4. Love imparts to its possessor grace, propriety, and comeliness of deportment. It illuminates the countenance and subdues the voice; it refines and elevates the entire being.

Notice the testimony of the Bible describing Jesus as He grew up and after He had grown to manhood. See Luke 2:40,52, Luke 4:22 and John 1:14

5. The heart where love reigns will be guided to a gentle, courteous, compassionate course of conduct toward others, whether they suit our fancy or not, whether they respect us or treat us ill.

This is demonstrated repeatedly in the life of Christ. See Luke 14:1. Notice what Jesus called Judas after Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss...

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come ? Matthew 26:50

Have you seen love like this or personally demonstrated love like this on a regular basis ? Is love really a principle ? The answer to these questions are addressed in the next part of our study when we consider the fact that there are only 2 types of love....

Self

This speaks for itself. May the Lord help us to draw closer to Jesus and seek to understand ourselves better and overcome our character flaws....

Nine‑tenths of all our trouble comes from our esteeming ourselves too highly.

FATHER to Father



Fathers can have a wonderful impact on familes if they are controlled by the spirit of Christ. Did you see the latest study about how a father's influence can reduce risky teen behavior ?


Out of the heart are "the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23); and the heart of the community, of the church , and of the nation is the household. The well-being of society , the success of the church , the prosperity of the nation, depend upon home influences.--MH 349.

Strong, healthy, happy families = a strong, healthy happy society/nation

Families are what the heads of families make them and families as God planned for them, were headed by the father and mother. Modern societies which attempt to redefine what constitutes marriage in order to secure material benefit are thereby undermining principles which originate with the Creator Himself.

Today, we will look at the role of the father in a study entitled "FATHER to Father"....This is from a Christian standpoint and the advice to fathers comes from our heavenly Father.
_____________________________

If you saw a word 979 times in one book, would you think it had some significance to it ? The word 'father' appears at least 979 times in the Bible.

STUDY IN FATHERHOOD
Not only do we have the example of our loving heavenly Father to learn from but we also have an example of someone whom GOD appointed to be a father.

"Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee./I Genesis 17:5

"GOD chose Abraham as the father of the faithful, because HE knew that he would cultivate home religion, and cause the fear of the LORD to be the atmosphere of his dwellingplace. The LORD knew that on the part of Abraham no betraying of sacred trusts; but that he would worship the LORD, and HIM only would he serve. HE knew that HIS faithful servant would lead his household forward and upward, and influence them to keep the statutes of JEHOVAH.

Abraham did not cherish a blind affection for his family; but by the combined influence of affection and authority, he ruled his home. GOD's will was made paramount. He feared the LORD with all his house.

"In GOD's sight, a man is just what he is in his family. The life of Abraham, the friend of GOD, was signalized by a strict regard for the word of the LORD. He cultivated home religion. The fear of GOD pervaded his household. He was the priest of his home. He looked upon his family as a sacred trust.

Thought question: Do you think Isaac would have willingly submitted to be sacrificed by his father if Abraham was not present in the home to build a relationship with his child ?

Besides Abraham, there were many other fathers...

"Noah's warnings had been rejected by the world, but his influence and example resulted in blessings to his family. As a reward for his faithfulness and integrity, GOD saved all the members of his family with him." PP 98

"He (Enoch) did not make his abode with the wicked.. .He placed himself and his family where the atmosphere would be as pure as possible. Then at times he went forth to the inhabitants of the world with his GOD-given message...Maranatha 184

The best advice about being a father comes from the best Father of all fathers - our heavenly FATHER. Men who intend to be good fathers should first of all realize WHO is the FATHER of us all and consider this in their relationship to other fathers and other men in general..

"Have we not all one FATHER ? hath not one GOD created us ? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother...?" Malachi 2:10

Notice GOD's promise to fathers and children in the last days...

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers..." Malachi 4:5,6

Fathers will be more successful if we are sensitive to and careful to practice the principle of honor. Honor begins with our heavenly FATHER and HIS SON "...all men should honour the SON, even as they honour the FATHER. He that honoureth not the SON honoureth not the FATHER which sent HIM." John 5:23

According to Romans 2:23, GOD is dishonored when his 10 commandment law is broken. Therefore, GOD's law would have to be the standard of honor for fathers.

"Honour thy father and mother, as the LORD thy GOD hath commanded thee." Deuteronomy 5:16

Isaiah 29:13 tells fathers how not to honor HIM. Isaiah 58:13 tells fathers how to honor HIM especially on HIS day and 1 Peter 3:7 tells fathers to honor their wives.

Faithful fathers will follow JESUS' example and not try to honor themselves- "JESUS answered, if l honour MYSELF, MY honour is nothing.."." John 8:54

WHAT MAKES A GOOD FATHER ?

To be a good father in GOD's sight, a man must be transformed by the renewing of his mind. He must have new motives, new purposes and new desires from God that are unselfish. Only a man who is being guided by his heavenly FATHER is going to commit himself to the task of preparing his children for heaven.

"The heads of families need to be converted. Then they would make diligent efforts to redeem their past neglect. The father should feel that he is the houseband of the family. In this age of sin and intemperance, violence and crime, he should show his true interest in his household." 16MR 144

"The one aim and object of his life is the saving of souls. He refuses to do anything that would hinder him in this work. If he has children, he realizes that his work must begin in his own family. The souls of his children are exceedingly precious to him. Remembering that they are the younger members of the LORD's family, he strives with all his power to place them where they will stand on the LORD's side. He has pledged himself to serve, honor, and obey CHRIST, and puts forth patient, untiring efforts so to train his children that they will never be hostile to the SAVIOUR." PUR 51

"The priest used cedar and hyssop, dipping them into the cleansing water and sprinkling the unclean. This symbolized the blood of CHRIST spilled to cleanse us from moral impurities. The repeated sprinklings illustrate the thoroughness of the work that must be accomplished for the repenting sinner. All that he has must be consecrated. Not only should his own soul be washed clean and pure, but he should strive to have his family, his domestic arrangements, his
property, and his entire belongings consecrated to GOD." 4T 122

"In forming a relationship with CHRIST, the renewed man is but coming back to his appointed relationship with GOD. He is a representative of CHRIST...His duties lie around him, nigh and afar off. His first duty is to his children and his nearest relatives. Nothing can excuse him from neglecting the inner circle for the larger circle outside." OHC 304

A man must be converted to CHRIST before he will honor GOD, honor other human beings and his own family members to the point where he would work for their salvation.

This concludes pages 1-3 of the 7 page study entitled, "FATHER to Father." Other subject titles in this piece include

1. Positions in the Family
2. Responsibilities
3. Impact of a Good Father
4. Ministry and Ministers
5. Ministry Outside of the Home
6. Encouragement

Herbal Remedies Information - Part IV


Some people have faith but they are not able to articulate what that faith is founded upon. The faith of the Christian is founded upon the word of God. Notice what the Bible says about why God has provided herbs...

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth Psalms 104:14

You should not use herbs as a means to treat disease or illness unless and only if you have followed these steps first in dealing with disease symptoms.

1. Ascertain the cause

2. Correct the wrong habits and change the unhealthful conditions

and then...

3. Assist the body to heal itself 

The use of herbs should complement obedience to the 8 laws of health. More information about this at www.issues-of-life.com under health issues.

Warnings Were Given A Long Time Ago That Could Have Prevented Bad Real Estate Choices Today

Adding building to building, without becoming free from debts previously incurred, is a snare...Ms1261899, pp1-3,6

Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay field to field, till [there be] no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! In mine ears [said] the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant. Isaiah 5:8,9

Good advice that could have spared much pain...

There's nothing new about mortgages either...

 [Some] also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. Nehemiah 5:3

Go back and read these things for yourself and pray for an understanding. Ask God to show you what to do in these perilous economic times...

National Crisis - Preparation Essentials

REVELATION 13:15-17 

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

What would be part of your preparation for a national crisis like the one described in the last book of the Bible ? Would you try to make sure you have enough food, clothing or at least a shelter ? Certainly it would depend upon the type of crisis. If you don't know what kind of crisis is coming you may be ill prepared. Find out fast. It will be a combination of challenges; economic, physical, religious, social, global and many others The Bible points to one final significant and central relgious crisis. Here are the comments of one Christian writer...

"The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result-- intolerance and persecution. In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends. Whenever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines."

Notice the recommendations...

"As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sake they should, while they have opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. And those who do this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need help..."

Word to the Wise: Disease, its causes, prevention and cure - become intelligent with regard to these things as quickly as possible...
