11 For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. 12 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, 13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. 14 He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

You must teach these things and encourage the believers to do them. You have the authority to correct them when necessary, so don’t let anyone disregard what you say.

Oh no I definitely haven't learned entire songs. I can pick out bits and pieces though. I jut like to hear the prayers/songs in the temple setting for some reason. The one I usually visit is in Hollywood...I don't go very often though. Maybe every few months.
The atmosphere is really fun, like going to hang out with family kind of. I haven't been to an orthodox temple though so that would probably be different.
I learn Hebrew at my church, but it's nice to hear the prayers that have been around thousands of years and to appreciate them in their own context. It makes me feel really connected to God because the words have been so constant for such a long time, whereas the bible has been changed many times.

He who is at the very bottom...should see clearer
He who is the most abused....should feel deeper
He who is most hated....should love longer
And he who is most mistrusted...should believer stronger
Because,
He who is the least....will one day be first, but only if he sought a higher existence
That is why I hold Jah-people to a higher standard
For we will lose the prize for lack of uniting ...when we drop the ball during the contest

Maybe I'm just dense...but I still don't understand how gay marriage has anything to do with me and my salvation.
People have explained all the rationales and bible verses and whatever, and yet, I'm still left with the fact that I'm not gay and therefore will never have a gay marriage...so the whole thing has nothing to do with me. Two gay people getting married doesn't affect me or my salvation in the least. I wonder if I'll be going to hell for not being against it? Hmmmm.

Philippians 2
Unity Through Humility
1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

We're studying the differences between God's love and human love and well sex is a part of it lol. He was talking about sex between married couples. He said that men are like microwaves, instantly ready, and finish cooking quickly. Women are like crockpots, they take longer to heat up and longer to cook.
So men need to start treating their wives like crockpots and less like microwaves.

It's time for true believers to stand up and not back down in the face of adversity...no matter what!
Jesus had to go off on many a 'religious' folk....and at the end of every talk, he turned around and KIM (kept it moving)...if we are to do greater things than He, then we are to do it!!!

Jesus said He'd rather we be either hot or cold but if we are luke warm, He will spit us out of His mouth, therefore we must stand boldly, as soldiers of 'The Cross' against the enemy and all his cohorts and fight the good fight of faith in HIM.
People of the most High God, broad is the way that leads to destruction and there are many who travel that path, but narrow is the way (through Jesus Christ, our Saviour) that leads to truth and life and there are few who find it. It's alright to travel this latter road that only a few travel and it may feel lonely at times, but we know that the Holy Spirit is there right beside us for not just half, but the whole journey. It gets so tired sometimes, but the alternative is NOT AN OPTION so my heart's cry tonight is
"COME LORD JESUS!!!"
