How to be Truly and Sincerely Thankful to God... Through Appreciating His Creation He Made For Us!

Isaiah 58 Ministries                                                                 August, 2015

Pastor: Leah "Faith"

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 7:33-34, Ephesians 5:31, Genesis 2:24

1 Corinthians 7:33-34

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

                       Our garden is really starting to shine; Sunflowers and corn 10 to 12 feet high, Lima beans, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers, all kinds of Beans, Pumpkins, Squashes, Pears, Watermelon, etc.  We are really being blessed two freezers stocked with Chickens, Beef and Pork. Getting our Storehouses ready for the Winter Months.

Garden as of August 2015

                When we first starting growing things it was such a pleasure because Grandma was alive and she let us all know how much she loved fresh homegrown tomatoes. She would say there isn't anything better than a fresh tomato out of the garden.  You knew that she really would appreciate the work and effort you put in to the garden. We knew we were going to make her very happy when she ate the tomatoes we grew. She would be thankful and grateful for all that we were doing.

Garden 08' the Year of Grandma went to meet Jesus... the Best Garden year ever by far... 

                 This is an example of God's love. Everything we do  should be because it would be naturally pleasing to God, (it will make those near you happy!), pleasing to your wife or husband, Mother, Father, Grandparents, children.

We've Come so Far... I believe this is either 09' or 07'

             Ephesians 5:31 Wives and Husbands

…30because we are members of His body.31FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. 32This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.…

Genesis 2:24

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

                 God is a God of nature.   The Bibe tells us to turn from the things of this world and turn to God. Turn to nature, turn to farming, Turn away from the cities and turn to the land. Things that God created that are natural like tomatoes, peppers, the maple tree, the walnut tree, the streams filled with fish, etc.

The Year of the Cabbage!! So many Giant Cabbages!!! 

       It use to be said a man should settle down and take a wife. That meant to farm.  Both husband and wife "cleaving" to each other, never separating, but living on the farm together, growing their food, raising animals and raising children.  Doing everything out of love for one another. Making each other happy with natural things God has created. Having children with a "restored" mind makes a person extremely happy!  Thanking God every day for all the things he created that make us happy.  Land, trees, animals, love, children, each other, creeks, rivers, blue shies, the sun, etc.  Jesus calls all of us to "love" one another.  

     God's ways:  A man cutting down a maple tree then making furniture out of it that he knows it is really going to please his wife, and make her happy!  A wife making a man's favorite dish out of love for him knowing it is going to make him very "happy".  

    That each will be very thankful and grateful for the things they did for each other out of love, respect, thankfulness, goodness in their hearts.

So much has been added and changed over the years!! Out of small beginnings... I believe this is early 09'? 

     Then you realize God created the earth out of love for all of us.  All we see God created because he knew it would make us very happy and we would know he loves us deeply.

   

 As we drove through the mountains, valleys, and over rivers and streams this weekend we saw what God had created for us and we can be be very happy with it. It is beautiful.  Being thankful to God for creating this beauty for us to see and enjoy.  All of life is to make us happy, to be pleasing to us and know God loves us and created everything on earth for us!

Bible 101 Kansas Cowboy...Back To Eden

God is so simple!  Jesus came to simplify the bible, talking to God, and delivered us back unto Adam and Eve, Bible 101.

Jesus came and simplified the whole Old Testament by declaring for us to love God, and to love thy neighbor as thy self. 

If you love God and are following His leading, you don’t even need the second commandment, as the Lord’s love will be radiating from within you.  You will automatically love thy neighbor, and will thereby bring them to love God too.

In the beginning in Genesis 1, love God is implied, as who would not love their creator?  The first thing He commands is to be fruitful and multiply. 

It is AFTER that where He says REPLENISHES the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over it.

Often times in the world we get into fear of children left hungry, or with no shoes. 

It is natural however to see how God has set thy princess daughters free to nest.  If He so freely dresses the nests of the birds and adorns the lilies of the field, how will He for you, oh woman of faith? 

He is saying multiply, enveloped in My love, in faith for thy loaves and fishes, thy manna, thy provision, thy dominion. 

The world would say I should be following other pursuits other than Him right now, and should have kept my job in the City of Destruction ( a little bit of Pilgrim’s Progress for you there).

They would say my 1 ½ years devoted to Him wholly to be a major setback.  The Lord has told me that I’m rich in Him, and if I could make a decent living picking up trash in the world, how much more so am I with Him, oh one who controls the whole world? 

BIBLE 101

--Love God

     àbe fruitful and multiply

     àFarm, work on your own land and subdue the earth

     àLive for Glory to God, do His Good works (implied)

SO SIMPLE!

DEVIL 101

--God does not LOVE YOU

     àDo not be fruitful and multiply

          --oh, so you still desire children (desires of your heart from God)?  I want you in extreme fear of it

     àIt is never time yet for ________________ to do _________________.

     àDo not listen to God.

          --I want you in fear of something simple and meaningless, something God has an easy answer for. 

FROM A WIFE, Sarah:  Abraham, I can’t follow you, no one else hears your God.  If we leave here you will have no job or means to provide for me.  And another thing.  I am well stricken in years, and as you know unable to have children.  Your God will never give us this child Isaac you have spoken of.  Even if he does how will you clothe or feed him as we would have no home and no means of provision?

To the pilgrims in Holland, don’t marry, and be fruitful, God will not provide for you.  He will not bless you with abundant new life and lands. 

You want to be oppressed in Holland with a safe, secure job making money, 2 cars, health insurance, and a company matched 401 K. in other words poor, miserable and enslaved.  Do not follow God and become masculine and let Him bless the works of your hands.

To Abigail Adams –

Do not listen to God, or John’s Words from Him.  Do not marry and be fruitful. You should be a weak and powerless woman with no God- fear the British oppression.  Do not be fruitful, for a war will soon be upon thy door, thy front lawn.    Embrace your masculinity, get a job for a British company to be saved.  NO, ONLY THE LORD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!  Do not be fruitful, for a war will soon be upon thy door, thy front lawn.

Do not bear John Quincy, for then I will have to contend with God working through him in the country’s RESURRECTION!  God will not take care of thee in those times.  Your fields and houses will be burned in those times, you shall be hungry! 

NO! FOR THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, and I thus put thee under!

1 Corinthians 15:27-28

27 For "God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "all things are put in subjection," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

We are able to talk to God as it was in the beginning!

We through the Holy Spirit know who our true one flesh is, our wife or husband.

     --therein, as it is our own flesh and not another, that of anyone else in the world, we together are NOT ASHAMED!

          --God created us to be together to Love Him and be fruitful and multiply.

The devil wants you to feel jealousy, envy and strife towards your wife/husband.  He wants you to be ashamed, and not to be fruitful.  He either wants you ashamed for lusting or lying with the wrong person, or too ashamed to be fruitful and inherit God’s blessings.  Children are blessings and a mighty quiver in the hands of a Holy warrior, so the devil doesn’t want you to have them.

Leah Here! You can start today in the little things to trust God for the BIG THINGS!! Start in the garden...Bible 101... Gardening is what makes all human beings the happiest! 

 God created every human being to be a gardener! He put Adam and Eve in garden and their job was to take care of it and all the animals.

So nature and animals makes every human being happy, fulfilled, loved, cared for, protected, etc. Sin is what separates us from knowing this: knowing how God designed human beings, what makes them the happiest deep down inside.

You are a gardener......... Go home today, go to your garden that God created for you through Jesus. Sin and pleasure, entertainment, work in a cold office will never satisfy the human soul like God. God loves us, created us and knows what is best for us. He is our Father we are made in his image to be just like him.

Gardening, creating gardens, growing, building homes barns is what fulfills God. It is the God's reason for exist.

The Lord Our Provider- Jehovah Jireh literally Jehovah Sees

Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the LORD it will be provided." Genesis 22:13-14

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth. You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness. Psalm 65:9-13

 God even provides healing for us!!

The Lord our Healer- Jehovah Rapha literally means to restore, to heal, to make healthful

Exodus 15: 26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, Thisis Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Jeremiah 30:17

 1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah 61:1

the Lord my Righteousness  Jeohvah Tsidkenu – THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS has revealed to me how to pray J

I was reading more about the name Jehovah and I read : The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havahmeaning "to be" or "to exist." It also suggests "to become" or specifically "to become known" - this denotes a God who reveals Himself  unceasingly

Tsedek(tseh'-dek), from which Tsidkenu derived, means "to be stiff," "to be straight," or "righteous" in Hebrew. When the two words are combined - Jehovah Tsidkenu - it can be translated as "The Lord Who is our Righteousness."

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6

Scriptures

Jesus redeems Eden For Us!

Romans 5 

12 Therefore, as sin came into the world through one man, and death as the result of sin, so death spread to all men, [[a]no one being able to stop it or to escape its power] because all men sinned.

13 [To be sure] sin was in the world before ever the Law was given, but sin is not charged to men’s account where there is no law [to transgress].

14 Yet death held sway from Adam to Moses [the Lawgiver], even over those who did not themselves transgress [a positive command] as Adam did. Adam was a type (prefigure) of the One Who was to come [in reverse, [b]the former destructive, the Latter saving].

15 But God’s free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man’s falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God’s grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to andfor [the benefit of] many.

16 Nor is the free gift at all to be compared to the effect of that one [man’s] sin. For the sentence [following the trespass] of one [man] brought condemnation, whereas the free gift [following] many transgressions brings justification ([c]an act of righteousness).

17 For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

18 Well then, as one man’s trespass [one man’s false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man’s act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal andright standing with God and life for all men.

19 For just as by one man’s disobedience (failing to hear, [d]heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man’s obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him).

20 But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God’s unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded,

21 So that, [just] as sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favor) might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord.

1 Corinthians 15
45 Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].

46 But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.

47 The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven.

48 Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded).

49 And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so [g]let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.

Life is very inexpensive, when it's done RIGHT! Naturally

Pastor: Leah Svensson

Scriptures:  Acts 16:16-20, Proverbs 22:6, i Timothy 5:11-16, 1 Timothy 3:2-5, Matthew 6:25-34, Matthew 18:1-10


                                                                     Theme

              The theme is copied from 6-29-2013 Leah's Facebook    Did you know that there is NO separation between religion and government, ESPECIALLY education? :) Ben Franklin is often quoted as being one of the LEAST religious of all our founders and when it came to education, he said "History will also 

afford frequent opportunities of showing the necessity of a public 

religion. . . and the excellency of the CHRISTIAN RELIGION 

above all others, ancient or modern." He said this in his: 
Proposals Relating to the EDUCATION of Youth in Pennsylvania, 1749....
                   When the VERY least RELIGIOUS of all the founders tells us we NEED religion in public life and we DESPERATELY need the teachings of Christianity to our children, then what we have now is a carefully planned out patch of lies. It is also interesting to note that ALMOST ALL teachers were PREACHERS for years!! They were teaching our children good morals based on Christianity... "That the Rector be a man of 

good understanding, good morals, diligent and patient, learned in 

the languages and sciences, and a correct, pure speaker and 

writer of the English tongue; to have such tutors under him as 

shall be necessary." 
              Some people pass on a lie unknowingly, they are not a liar but are themselves deceived. There are those who knowingly pass on lies and they are called liars and it is LIARS that have taken over our school system and public life today. All we need to do, is go back to the foundation that our founders got the 

inspiration for a free country from--- the BIBLE and start telling 

the TRUTH! God is the Creator we get all of our rights from. God is the God of Nature we receive our benefits from.

The Declaration of Independence

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.

                 What? 

     So I go to the internet to find some answers I get:

 The first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence sets the stage for the American revolution and its indispensable reliance on the laws of God, the Creator.²⁶ It declares:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

By invoking the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" the 56 signers of the Declaration incorporated a legal standard of freedom into the forms of government that would follow. The theory of freedom adopted was simply that God's law was supreme and gave freedom. The phrase "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" referred to the laws that God in his capacity as the Creator of the universe had established for the governance of people, nations and nature. These laws are variously described as the laws of Creation, God's Creation laws or as the framers elected to refer to them, as the laws of nature and of nature's God. This body of law, whatever it is called, can be ascertained by people through an examination of God's creation, the text of the Bible, and to a certain degree, instinct or reason.

          What?  

         How does an average American obey the Declaration of Independence and make sure everyone else is also?

         Nature.  Yep, it is real easy.  Nature.  If something comes from nature it is good.  If mankind takes something that is natural and changes it’s essence so much you get something very far from the original; that is breaking the law.   i.e. a tree falls and you use the wood to make a table.  The wood is still the same.  But if you take black crude oil and do all these weird things to it where it ends up in mankind's food supply killing them, you are breaking the law.

      On this 4^th of July we are bringing the good news of how to live by nature, how to trust God to provide for you and everyone.  Nature.  For several years now we have been growing plants of all kinds.  Why?  We are obeying God, livings  close to God.  Everyone can understand from the first paragraph of Declaration of Independence that freedom comes from God in the form of nature.  So if someone says it is my ”God given right” it has to be provided by nature.

     The right to life, everything you need, is all around you at home. 

(If you have a home and some land.)  The right to grow food and eat is "the right to life", liberty and true happiness.  In Europe the government has taxed them so much the people have no money left for food.  So everyone is turning their little quarter acre of land in to gardens, to feed themselves. 

God said he would provide for you and he does so through nature. 

Do Not Worry

Matthew 6:25  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?

28  “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

          We must seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.  God has called everyone; God has placed a gift in all of us that we can use to provide for ourselves through nature.  We cannot produce everything we need ourselves.  We need each other.  Someone has the gift from God to take from nature and make soap.  Someone has the gift from God to keep and raise horses for transportation. 

 We are called by God individually.  Some are called in families. This is why someone’s last name is "carpenter" because their name is Sam and he is a carpenter, so his children have the same “identity” as their father, the same with the wife. The children and wife live with Sam the carpenter so their names reflect that. Sue Carpenter, Teddy Carpenter, etc.  This is why a wife takes on the husband’s name; it is just what the man of the house does for a living, as he is gifted by God.

      Women are gifted to do things also but once a woman is married, 

(according to nature,) most, if not all her time, will be raising 

children she doesn't have time to provide for herself let alone provide for children and herself.  [The children will be extremely neglected in every way conceivable!  Like we see today.] 

Picture: Jews held in captivity in Babylon      

  Turn away from the unnatural society that you find yourself and your family are enslaved to.  

      Try taking a summer without electricity and you will find 

out how enslaved you are to the dictates of the world. Try it, turn off the phone, TV, eating out, radio, the internet, stop going out to eat, spend the whole summer at home. Do not go any where, but when you do go to the grocery store, walk or ride a bike. 

     Progress has enslaved you. You no longer have 

the freedom you had as a child. You 

need that "faith" of a child to go to 

heaven, to receive anything from God.

      The world wants to enslave you and your family to them; that guarantees them an income for the rest of your life.  The easy life of comfort with unnatural things is just like being caged like an animal in a zoo. Addictions,  health problems, and obsessions are formed this way; mental problems, weight problems etc.

    You are living your life so others may live on your 

hard work and labor. 2% of the people own most of the wealth, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 

      You stress out every day while sinful evil people just keep living free in sin. (sin: immoral, lying, luxury, seeking pleasures, ripping 

others off, greedily charging 500 times more than what something is really worth! Unjust weights, etc.) 

    School Systems hate when we talk about parents teaching their children at home because we are messing with their income and lies.  Every parent is gifted by God to teach and train their own children.  Furthermore parents are commanded by God to be the sole teacher and trainer of their children.  

      Of course, business and socialist do not like homeschooling either 

because the children become independent, the children have 

high self esteem and self confidence, which in 

turn causes them to know the difference between 

freedom, and captivity. Home schooled children know they do not need to work for someone else.  God will provide for them. They can do things for themselves. My children could see that school was just like a jail, but at home they were so free and smarter!

Seek your independence today, turn to God he will set you free!!!!!!

                                                            Summary                                                                                                        

Children ought to be taught, NATURAL things, starting with their foundation being Christianity. There is to be NO separation of religion from public life, especially education, where it is needed MOST! 

Did you know that there is NO separation between religion and government, ESPECIALLY education? :) Ben Franklin is often quoted as being one of the LEAST religious of all our founders and when it came to education, he said "History will also afford frequent opportunities of showing the necessity of a public religion. . . and the excellency of the CHRISTIAN RELIGION above all others, ancient or modern."

Only what is done in and through Christ will last! Check out B. Frankin's proposals for education, it is a homeschool model, good for mind, body, and soul! Ben Franklin on Education

In footnotes of this work, Franklin quotes Milton as to teachers leading their pupils from Nature to 

religion...From showing the student the greatness in Nature and whence that greatness comes... the 

God of Heaven, the God of the Bible.

"A Garden, a Country, a Plantation, are all so many Books which lie open to them; but they must have been taught and accustomed to read in them. Nothing is more common amongst us than the Use of Bread and Linnen. How seldom do Children know how either of them are prepared, through how many Operations and Hands the Corn and Flax must pass, before they are turned into Bread and Linnen? The same may be said of Cloth, which bears no Resemblance to the Wool whereof it is formed, any more than Paper to the Rags which are picked up in the Streets: And why should not Children be instructed in these wonderful Works of Nature and Art which they every Day make Use of without reflecting upon them?

"He adds, that a careful Master may in this Way enrich the Mind of his Disciple with a great Number of useful and agreeable Ideas, and by a proper Mixture of short Reflections, will at the same Time take Care to form his Heart, and lead him by Nature to Religion."

In short, when our founders wrote the Declaration of Independence and they talked about Nature and Nature's God, they pointed the way for generations to come on how to be truly free. 

Acts 16:16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. ……………………… Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.

19 When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities.20

The Greatest in the Kingdom

Matthew 18:1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3 Then he said,“I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes 

as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5 “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf  is welcoming me. 6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

7 “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting. 8 So if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand or one foot than to be thrown into eternal fire with both of your hands and feet. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell. 

10 “Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father. 

Proverbs 22:6 Direct your children onto the right path,

and when they are older, they will not leave it.

A woman having the life of ease: vs A woman at home, wholesome
1 Timothy 5:11 The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to Christ and they will want to remarry. 12 Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge. 13 And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t. 14 So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able to say anything against them. 15 For I am afraid that some of them have already gone astray and now follow Satan.

16 If a woman who is a believer has relatives who are widows, she must take care of them and not put the responsibility on the church. Then the church can care for the widows who are truly alone.

 1 Timothy 3:2 So an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife.  He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. 3 He must not be a heavy drinker  or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. 4 He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. 5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
