SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 9/28/2021 8:54 PM
My Worship Time Focus:
PT-3 “Confirming Credentials”
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference:
Matthew 10:8
Message of the verses: “8 “Heal the
sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely
you received, freely give.”
I
mentioned that we would be looking at the contrast how the world does things,
and I have to say that the making of money is usually at the root of what their
motives are.
Ezekiel
18:12 gives us an example as he speaks of the unbeliever “oppresses the poor and needy, commits
robbery, does not restore a pledge, but lifts up his eyes to the idols and
commits abomination.” Psalm 10:2 tells
us that He persecutes the poor, and then Amos 5:11 and 8:5-6 tells us that He
puts heavy burdens on them and defrauds them.
Isaiah 3:15 “"What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding
the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord GOD of hosts.” MacArthur writes “The world has little use
for the afflicted. What concern there is
comes as the residual fruity of Christian influence on society.
False
prophets have no mercy or compassion but rather use and abuse people to their
own selfish advantage. Jesus warned
about ‘the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful
greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of
honor at banquets’ but ‘who devour widows’ houses’ (Mark 12:38-4).
I
am sorry to say that I won’t be able to add any more this evening as I had a
terrible night last night and had things to do today on very little rest.
