Of God and Mankind

Deuteronomy 11:13-20 (AMPC)   “ 13 And if you will diligently heed My commandments which I command you this day–to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being–   14 I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.   15 And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full.   16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your [minds and] hearts be deceived and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,   17 And the Lord's anger be kindled against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain and the land will not yield its fruit, and you perish quickly off the good land which the Lord gives you.   18 Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your [minds and] hearts and in your [entire] being, and bind them for a sign upon your hand...

Revelation 2:24-25 (AMPC)   “ But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not explored and known the depths of satan, as they say – I tell you that I do not lay upon you any other [fresh] burden:   25 Only hold fast to what you have until I come.”   Dear people of God, from the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ in today’s main Holy Bible text, there is something called the depths of satan, which the devil’s active followers know about and actively practise to promote the demonic kingdom of darkness.   So, who are those who know and have explored the depths of satan? Let me give examples of such people:   Satanists Occultists Ritualists Magicians Witches and wizards Necromancers Mediums Voodoo priests Any pastor and other ministers of the devil’s gospel who have sold their souls to the devil but disguise as ministers of the light of Christ’s Gospel to attract membership for fame, money and occultic power to fi...

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 (AMPC)   “ I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate [closely and habitually] with unchaste (impure) people–   10 Not [meaning of course that you must] altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the greedy graspers and cheats and thieves or idolaters, since otherwise you would need to get out of the world and human society altogether!   11 But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person.   12 What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgm...

Ephesians 5:22-26 (AMPC) “ Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord.   23 For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, Himself the Savior of [His] body.   24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.   25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,   26 So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,”       Dear people of God, I recently read a newspaper report of a tragic story of a man who assaulted his wife who has eventually died.   It is reported that the lady was pregnant with their third child and the man was fond of beating her whenever there was a quarrel between them.   Even though the lady’s family were aware, despite their intervention the man continued his evil act of beating his wife du...
