A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

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.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem




Oh LORD,
Our God,
How Excellent Is Your Name Over All The Earth!
We Praise and Worship You,
For You Alone Are Worthy,
You Alone Are LORD,
You Alone Are The One True God.

Blessed Are You Oh LORD,
Our God,
King of the Universe,
Ancient of Days,
LORD of Hosts,
Rock of All Ages!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.



”The Greatest Of these Is Love.”

Hurricane Wilma tore out a huge banyan tree in my front yard, that blocked the front door. Almost before the "all-clear" was sounded, about ten Caribbean youths from the neighborhood arrived with machetes and chopped the whole thing up, piled it in the yard, and refused to accept my offer of payment. (I have to admit, they were formidible-looking, stripped to the waist, and moving in a body through the neighborhood with their machetes. There is a lesson there too!)) Police, FEMA, and other government agencies were nowhere to be found, and our little neighborhood was on its own. We helped each other out, and cooked outside on grills, as we had no electrical power for a month.

Almost a year later, Broward County offered two free trees to homeowners who had lost trees in the hurricane. I chose an Avocado tree and a Mango Tree and planted them according to the directions. A few years later, the Mango was 20 feet high and absolutely bursting with fruit. I found out that I could pot the seeds and get MORE Mango trees, and they grew just as fast. Now there were regular polite knocks on my door of people asking if they could have a few mangoes. It seems, that even before the mangoes are ripe, there is a Caribbean recipe for them that is beloved. "Of Course!" I said. "Take as much as you want! And here's a little tree for you yard that I grew in this pot! Enjoy!"

Almost a year to the day after Hurricane Wilma, FEMA showed up with a truck to pick up the neatly-cut-and-stacked wood of the banyan tree that was sitting on my lawn, in the shade of the Mango Tree.

In this brief passage, Paul contrasts two ways of living. Obviously, living in the Spirit of God is preferable to living in the "Flesh". The lovely quality of love is expressed by the Greek word "Agape".. Since the Greeks had many words for "love", this word stands out as that special LOVE that comes from God. The King James Bible translates Agape as "Charity", which also doesn't convey its full meaning.

The Banyan tree had shallow roots, but took up so much space that it dominated the front of my house. It bore no fruit, and didn't even offer shade because of the tangled mass of trunks that went straight to the ground. It was just like a big tub of green that sat in front, and the wind tipped it over easily. The Mango, however, grew straight and tall. It extended its canopy over the yard, providing shade. Its fruit was abundant, and that fruit had a seed that made a whole new tree. The fruit of that tree caused fellowship and friendship to take root in the community. It was a wonderful illustration of this passage of Scripture.

The Word of God takes root, the Roots go deep, and "Charity" (or Love) is the fruit.

It's Meant To Be Shared!

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

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
