From Dispersed To Exile

Image
God allows 'life pauses' where moments that we are stopped dead on our tracks while he accomplishes His will.  It's not a comfortable place, but yet necessary.    There are many examples of this in the Bible, but it is one that we do not enjoy.  One key reason for this moment is God's expression of "tough love" (Prov. 3:11-12, Hebrews 12:4-11).    The Divided Kingdom of Israel and Judah sinned against God and they went to the place of no return (Isaiah 28-33; 2 Kings 17:16-20).  As a result, the Divided Kingdoms were shattered.   The Northern Kingdom Israel was dispersed by the Assyrian in 722 B.C. and the Southern Kingdom Judah was exiled by the Babylonians in 587 B.C.    In the midst of Israel's and Judah's life pause, God encourages three things:    Come back to God and renew your relationships with him.   Endure and thrive in the time of your exile. Look forward to the hope that is in Jesus.   DIDISCUSSI...

Entertainment & Media Choices. Not everything is sinful, but some content dulls spiritual appetite or confuses newer believers. A discipler curates choices publicly and privately to build, not blur, convictions. Social Media Engagement. Posting opinions may be “lawful,” but does it edify? Does it inflame consciences, fracture u...

Biblical Perspectives on Rebuke and Guidelines for Practicing It

Image
Every believer needs someone to guide them.  At times, they need someone to remind them and yes! to rebuke them.   Rebuking plays an important role in the life of a believer, particularly in maintaining spiritual health and integrity within the Christian community. The Bible makes clear that rebuke (or correction) is necessary for growth, correction of wrongdoing, and restoration. However, it also outlines important guidelines for how to go about it properly, ensuring it is done with love, humility, and the goal of restoration rather than punishment. Here’s an overview of the biblical perspective on rebuke and the guidelines for practicing it: 1. Rebuke with the Goal of Restoration Purpose: The goal of a rebuke should always be restoration, correction, and healing rather than condemnation. Scripture Reference: Galatians 6:1 — “Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or ...
