8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
My question is are Father know what you need before praying about it.They when you pray for the things you need sometimes you receive it or never receive anything. I have prayed for thing as as single parent and no answer. I started questioning my Faith at times. I going through a question time now with adult child and still single.
There was a statement that was made by Jesus to his Mother when she finds him in the Temple and states your Father and I were filled with worries. Jesus says to his Mother in Reply " Women do you not see that I am in the Hiuse of my Father!! Was this not be Disrespectful to his Mother???
yes To verse 20, Jeremiah 6,( I have a comment under this that said (when the Holy Scriptures are thrust aside, incense and burnt offerings become abominable to God. Placing faith in the ceremony instead of in what the ceremony represented, namely, Christ and Him Crucified, presents the wrong object of faith, which God can never accept.)
can someone please explain this statement Thank You very much. ? Dennis Kinyon,
Recently, I was reading Psalm 101:1 - "I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O Lord, will I sing."
I would like to share Brother Charles Spurgeon's comments (in part) on the first part of this verse:
"David would extol both the love and severity, the sweets and the bitters, which the Lord had mingled in his experience; he would admire the justice and goodness of the Lord.......
Everything in God's dealings with us may fittingly become a theme of song, and we have not viewed it aright until we feel that we can sing about it.
We ought as much to bless the Lord for the judgment with which He chastens our sin, as for the mercy with which He forgives it; there is as much love in the blows of His hand as in the kisses of His mouth.
Upon a retrospect of their lives, instructed saints scarcely know which to be most grateful for -- the comforts which have cheered them, or the afflictions which have purged them."
How is it with us, dear brothers and sisters? Are we singing of BOTH the mercy AND the judgments of God in our lives? If yes - praise the Lord!
If not - let us be quickened by God's grace and Spirit to at once lift our hands and praise Him, acknowledging that He deals with us in kindness, intending to work ALL things for good for those who are the called according to His purposes!
Jesus said we are the light of the world. Does light speak or reveal?
Many Christians here in the US have known financial prosperity, both a blessing and possible peril. Our prosperity can make us less dependent on the fellowship of like minded believers and more dependent on continuing to establish an earthly kingdom. Our pilgrim and stranger status is forgotten while our earthly rights are enhanced by certain leadership choices. Do we not want in due time a peaceful departure into eternity? Do we want to leave behind an imbalanced witness of our profession of Jesus as the Lamb of God who saved our souls and gave us peace or our methods of operational worldly interests? What is the value of our salt? Can we be the quiet of the land? Can we by the grace of God be stewards of worldly goods as though we have them not, this kind of stewardship brings a peaceful way and a quiet and happy life even in tribulation.
In Romans 8;1 Why is the second half of the verse missing which reads as follows? Who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit/ in new Bible versions?
Are the sins of believers and unbelievers equally offensive to God? The question may be slightly off-kilter. There are two main types of sin and those are 1. sins of ignorance, and 2. presumptuous sins. Jesus made a distinction between the two in Mark 3:
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Without going into a lengthy discussion of the distinctions between the two types of sin (there are two types of blasphemy, for example), we should recognize from Mark 3 that most sins will be forgiven but one sin will never be forgiven.
3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
The OT is written for NT believers and has lessons for our modern world. In these verses, we see a similarity in our own world in modern America. Judges are corrupt and their judgments are perverse. Political leaders are corrupt and they promote things that not only oppose God but also do great harm to innocent people under their protection and administration. Take Biden, for example. His insane tax and spending policies are bankrupting poor people and the whole nation, as are his shutdowns of domestic oil production. He supports murder by abortion and depravity by homosexuality. He is blind and wicked and does not know the damage he is doing.
In America, spoiling and violence are prevalent and judgment is perverted, just as Habakkuk prophesied.

Question for community: Where can I find a KJV Bible, to purchase, with "I am the Way, the Truth, and the LIGHT" (?)
My current KJV Bible has "life" in place of LIGHT. I would like to purchase a KJV which has LIGHT as I believe this is the correct translation. Thank you for recommendations
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
Why is America currently being ruled by godless democrats? Because so many Americans are wicked and believe the lies of the wicked and vote for the liars and crooks who lie and cheat their way into power.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
Unsaved officials in the US are becoming more and more oppressive towards innocent Americans, especially towards infants and conservatives.
Judges rule in favor of whatever political power they want to please or in favor of whoever gives them enough money to pervert justice. Priests craft their influence to appeal to all sorts of people, even to rebels against God. Teachers teach whatever the unions and secular school boards tell them, whether the instruction is right or not. Politicians promote the bad policies of wicked donars with evil agendas, and so forth.
Coming across the word, "Jehovah," in KJV version, somewhat bothers me; particularly, when I saw the verse Isaiah 26:4 today, on Saturday, March 19.
Is there anyone else who feel the same way or feel strange about this? Just seeing the word reminds me of Jehovah's witnesses. Honestly, I have taken it into practice to not be a part of a denominational group.
I decided to search online and here's the article I found explaining two reasons the word Jehovah shouldn't be in all modern bibles, including KJV. Unfortunately, I'm not authorized to post the link here.
Lord show us Your way Lord, the way that gives us fruits that do not go down into the earth. But bulging, lush Fruits that will forever be our witness that we love You O God. Night and day we cry out to You Lord. We can only do Your will. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
