Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

(New Testament)

Philippians

Following Paul’s Example

15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

(End of Scripture Passage)



Paul speaks of our "Blessed Assurance" and Hope of Resurrection in Glorified bodies. Life on Planet Earth is only temporary.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Many of us have had the pleasure of researching the Original Greek Words of the New Testament. Even though the countries around the Mediterranean were now under the control of the Roman Empire, they had once been conquered by Alexander The Great. Alexander did not just add these countries to his empire; he also introduced Greek Culture, Language, and Religion to the areas he conquered. Even in India, the furthest reach of his conquest, we see whispers of Alexander's influence in architecture and philosophy.

This made Greek the common Language of commerce and diplomacy throughout the known Ancient World. Paul could probably speak Aramaic, Hebrew, Latin, Greek, and even some others, as he was a very educated man. In the Book of Acts, we saw him astonish a Roman Soldier when he spoke in Greek, and then he went on to address the crowd in Aramaic. He undoubtedly spoke Greek to the crowd of Mars-Hill Philosophers in Athens, but probably spoke in Hebrew to his mentor Gamaliel. And his Letters, to the Churches in Rome, Greece, and Asia Minor (Turkey) were all in Greek.

Today, our culture celebrates Valentine's Day, which celebrates Romantic Love. This came about because of the legend of St. Valentine sending anonymous gifts to girls who were too poor to have amassed a dowry, and would have been doomed to a lonely life if not for the secret gift. There are other legends about this particular saint, and they have somehow evolved into our present fun holiday. But, "Romantic Love" is not the "Love" that Paul has in mind when he writes his Letters to the Churches.

Unlike our English Language, Greek has at least THREE words for love, and each one has a very distinct meaning.

There is "Romantic Love" (Eros). That is what is celebrated on Valentine's Day. It is a gift from God, but unfortunately is easily corrupted by the adversary. Love, physical attraction, passion, and marriage are wonderful things, but, like any good thing, can be turned into a nightmare when abused.

The next kind of Love is best described as "Brotherly Love" (Phileo). It is the word from which we derive the name "Philadelphia", and is also the root of "Philosophy" (Love of Knowledge) and so on. It is this kind of Love that reaches out to our fellow man, and also depicts the bond of FRIENDSHIP. But we still haven't hit upon the LOVE that Paul speaks about in my chosen Scripture verse (in red) for February.

That LOVE is called "Agape' in Greek. The King James translate this word as "Charity", but it is MUCH more than that. It is a Godly Love that emanates from above, from God Himself.

The perfect "Valentine" has all three. A Marriage that contains them all (Romance, Friendship, and Supernatural Godly Love) is the most AWESOME thing that could EVER happen to a couple.

And, with that, I say, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. ..1 Corinthians 13(NIV)

God Bless America!

And to you too!

I took Penny to the Doggie Spa for Valentine’s Day. She had her nails trimmed and her paws waxed to prevent irritation from rock salt.

They had a “Dead Sea Mud Bath” for $15.00, but they didn’t have a tub my size, or else I would have taken them up on it!

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you for my first guffaw of the day!

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

ET us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
