Not Satisfied? Are You Looking Back?

Not Satisfied? Find Yourself Looking Back?
Written by Kevin A. Hall (03/21/17)

"We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted”.

The children of Israel got me thinking. How many times do we look back and wished for things we left behind? Friends, Positions, Way of life, Level of Devotion?

The Israelite nation had been under bondage for years. Maybe you too know what it means to have been bound. Your source of bondage could by physical or emotional. In their case, the Egyptian government made them slaves out of fear. They cried out to their God. He answered their prayer. Their salvation came in the form of Moses. One day, God visited Moses in the desert. Sometimes it takes a desert experience to occur before God will show up. He said “Moses, I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows” (Ex. 3:7)

You can’t tell me that God doesn’t care about His people. Please note that God’s sovereignty dictates that He does not respond to every injustice. Sometimes our pain is the result of our decisions. I think of King David who (1) Saw the woman (2) Called for the woman (3) Entered into a relationship with the woman (4) Covered it up by setting up her husband (4) Issuing a command to kill the husband…. There was a consequence for his actions.

A Successful Strategy We All Should Adopt (Kingdom Living)



Successful Strategies Every Church Should Employ - 

We Are The Church - That's You And Me

A quick study of 2 Timothy written by the Apostle Paul:

·         Believers are encouraged to pray without ceasing (2:3)
·         Parent and guardians should teach their children about God (2:5)
·         A leader should always encourage others to “keep the faith, don’t get stagnant” (2:6)
·         Christians should hold dear the Gospel; be good stewards (2:13-14)
·         We should always pray God’s blessings upon those who support missionary endeavors (2:18)
·         We should make every effort to support our missionaries – seek them out (2: 17)
·         Paul encouraged Timothy not to get lazy (2:6)
·         The minister of God constantly “reminds and give charge” the people (2:14)
·         Christians should not waste their time on “idle babblings”. We should “rightly divide” so that we can eradicate the cancer of false teaching (2:17)
·         Christians should not practice evil (2:19)
