Respect in God's House

By -
Image
Historically, churches have taught the importance of respect within the House of God. While some rules may have seemed overly strict, they were established with good intentions. Ecclesiastes 5:1 says, " Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God , and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil."  Proverbs 1:7 The   fear   of   the   Lord  is  the  beginning  of  knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Berean Strong's Lexicon yirah: Fear, reverence, awe Original Word:  יִרְאָה Part of Speech:  Noun Feminine Transliteration:  yirah Pronunciation:  yee-RAH Phonetic Spelling:  (yir-aw') Definition:  Fear, reverence, awe Meaning:  fear, reverence Word Origin:  Derived from the root יָרֵא (yare), which means "to fear" or "to revere." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:  -  φόβος (phobos):  Often translated as "fear" in the New Testament, it can carry a similar range

The Fall of Man

Adam and Eve lived happily in the garden for a period of time. No one knows exactly how long they lived in the garden. However, most of us have heard about the fateful day when Eve was deceived. Let's look at the fateful events of that day.  Eve apparently had gone near the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil. The devil saw his opportunity to pervert the people that God had so lovingly created.      Genesis 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as

Prayer For Our Government

  God's word tells us to pray for our government. The Bible encourages us to pray for our government and leaders. Here are some Bible verses that talk about praying for the government: 1 Timothy 2:1-4: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." Romans 13:1: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers." Proverbs 11:14: "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers." Here is an example of how to pray for our government. Remember we are to pray for everyone in any government position regardless of our thoughts about them.  Father, in the name of Jesus, we give thanks for the United States and its government. We hold up in prayer all of the men and women who are in positions of authority. We pray for the president, the r
