Good Stuff

In a conversation this morning with 2 Jehovah witnesses I used this example to explain why Jesus is God. "Imagine you are a boss and you have employees. When you want something done correctly you show them. You become the example for them to follow. A human phrase is "if you want something done right do it yourself". That's what God did, he had used Adam, patriarchs, priests and prophets yet His people still couldn't keep His law. Then He sent Himself in the form of man to be the example" Her response was she has never seen a boss do the job himself he just hires someone else. She is so brainwashed that common sense is lost. Then we went on to look at the passage she came armed with today.  You see this was our second encounter. I urged her to come back to talk with me.  So we looked at Philippians 2:5-9. She stated that form meant heavenly being which the passage gives no reason to believe that. I then showed her the original term in the Hebrew-Greek study

So you know how you gather your group of close friends together to pray intently for you in a situation. But then when the Lord answers your prayer sometimes you forget to call them and tell them that God answered the prayer. I've encountered this about 3 times in the last few months. I love to praise the Lord when He does something amazing. As my friends or close acquaintances know I like to run a lap when God has done something amazing. The more I thought about this, the more I started to wonder why we do that. Why don't we praise and share our praise reports more often. Instead we are always sharing our prayer request but very seldom share our praises. In Hebrews 13:15 it states, Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.  Our God is so worthy of praise but at times we withhold the praise from Him. We praise Him alone instead of corporately. Oh sure we partake in praise and worship at
