what's the worst thing you've done when angry?
or words said that you wished you could call back?

Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Genesis 9
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

“Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers.”

Cover up your brother's nakedness.

Often I fall into the trap of laughing at or ridiculing those in the army of Christ who have fallen by the wayside or who have succumbed to temptation.

In this case, Noah had failed, he was drunk and was misbehaving. His son Ham came by only to laugh at him and try magnify the shame that Noah was already in.

Same as what am oft quick to do. I hear someone messed up, I laugh and rush to gossip with friends about him/her.

How I pray that God could help me be like Shem and Japheth. I wont laugh. I will first cover my brother's shame before taking any further action

But kenyans (i.e not Jews) would rather tithe 10% of their income to pastors (who are not levites) and 'ministries' all the while believing they are serving God.

What a tragedy.

why do some people complain when others give ...I do not understand.so you want all the pastors to be walking with tattered clothes,living in caves/slums or the Churches to built falling ??anyway those who give to their Churches or give to their pastor do it willingly.

Ex. 25:2 God said, “Speak to the children of Israel,that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.” Notice that the main stipulation was that it was to be a free-will offering. The Lord had already given the 10 commandments and many other laws, but now He does not lay down a law regarding giving, but asks for free-will offerings.
In Ex. 35:21-22, “Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing,and they brought the LORD’S offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service,and for the holy garments. They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man whomade an offering of gold to the LORD.” V.29 says, (read). The

Psalm 121
A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Giving and tithing are two different animals.

People (christians) should not be manipulated into believing that they MUST give 10 % of their income or they are robbing God... that is the most out of context interpretation on scripture.



@ Pastor

Look at the bold parts.

There is a difference between christians and
Jews.
