Nahum 1

7The Lord is good,

a refuge in times of trouble.

He cares for those who trust in him,

8but with an overwhelming flood

he will make an end of Nineveh;

he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

Micah 6

6With what shall I come before the Lord

and bow down before the exalted God?

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,

with calves a year old?

7Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,

with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?

Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression,

the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.

And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy

and to walk humblya with your God. Continue reading “Oppose Evil; Toil to Establish God’s Kingdom and His Righteousness”

Acts 17

18A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

Richard:  We should not worship idols, whether they by social acceptance by peers, money, position, etc.  Seeking the Kingdom by serving God, Jesus and the Returned Lord should be our focus. Continue reading “Share the Heart of Jesus Who Wants to Save Everyone”

14For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish.

Leviticus 

18“ ‘Do not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.

Richard:  God still has rules for sexual relationships, i.e. only inside of marriage.  All the various sexual perversions of our society are an abomination before God;  they are not God’s will.

Psalm 107

38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Richard:  If you love God with all your heart mind body and soul, and that includes honoring His sons Jesus and Rev. Sun Myung Moon as the Second Coming, then God will work to give you the desire of your heart.  It may not happen in the timing or way that you expect, but when we ask for bread, God does not give us a stone.  I can see this in my own life, where the things that I most deeply desire God provides, but not in ways that I may immediately know, yet He is there wanting to help fulfill the deepest desires of our heart if they are righteous and good.

Matthew 5:6

God blesses those people
who want to obey him
more than to eat or drink.
They will be given
what they want!

Judges 3:19

But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. 20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: 22And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. 23Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
