What the Bible says about light and seed
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.

[Spoken voice with emotion]
Have you ever heard of Mephiboshet?
His
name translates to "dispeller of shame," and his life is widely studied
for unmerited grace. Despite his fears, Mephibosheth received
undeserved grace and protection from David, a touching biblical example
of covenant loyalty and unmerited favor.
He was the crippled son of Jonathan and grandson of King Saul. When he was five years old, both his father and grandfather were killed in battle against the Philistines. While fleeing in a panic, his nurse dropped him, resulting in permanent disability in both of his feet. He grew up hidden away in a remote, impoverished place called Lo-debar until David found him many years later.
[Verse 1. Sad, reflective mood to start]
When I look at my trouble and pains
With my human eyes,
The Lord in his mercy reminds me
Of my friend Mephibosheth,
Then, my vision changes
And my Woes turn to WaoWs.
[Chorus.]
I suddenly find myself free
To praise my King Jesus
For his grace, mercy and love for me,
Just like that, the twinkling of an eye,
[Verse 2.]
Who am I to depreciate what we have
When our Servant King Jesus tells us:
""In My Father’s house are many rooms.
If it were not so, would I have told you
That I am going there
to prepare a place for you?"
[Chorus.]
I suddenly find myself free
To praise my King Jesus
For his grace, mercy and love for me,
Just like that, the twinkling of an eye,
"And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back and welcome you into My presence,
So that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going.”…
[Verse 3.]
Do you know Jesus?
Do you know where you are going?
Do you believe he is coming back for you?
Do you have your white robe on?
Have you been invited to the Feast
By the King Jesus himself?
Whom do you serve?
[Verse 4.]
When the words of man cripple
Your life and your soul
Don´t receive them, instead
Turn you eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face..
And listen instead to the Word of God
Whispering in your wounded heart:
[Verse 5.]
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why the unease within me?
Put your hope in God,
For I will yet praise Him,
My Savior and my God.
[Chorus.]
I suddenly find myself free
To praise my King Jesus
For his grace, mercy and love for me,
Just like that, the twinkling of an eye,
[Verse 6.]
You turned my mourning into dancing;
You peeled off my sackcloth
And clothed me with joy,
That my heart may sing your praises
and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
[Final chorus.]
I suddenly find myself free
To praise my King Jesus
For his grace, mercy and love for me,
Just like that, the twinkling of an eye.
[Voice spoken with gratitude]
Following
his deep, historic covenant he made with Jonathan, King David searched
for any remaining heirs of Saul. He showed great grace to Mephibosheth,
fully restoring Saul's estate and welcoming him as family to continually
eat at the king's own table.

According to the Word of God can a woman be ordained as Pastor of a Christian congregation
First, let me state that my views do not stem from misogynous feelings and bias.
I. Kingdom authority
II. Roles of Christians under delegated authority
A. Function of the soldier
B. Function of the worker
III. Role of the woman
In Acts 2:17, Peter reiterating Joel prophecy said: “In the last days, God says, I will pour my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy”.
The Bible doesn’t mention anything about women’s natural abilities and skills that would make them suitable to lead a congregation. Rather, God uses willing and available men and women empowered by the Holy Spirit to raise up a people of His own choosing. It is very clear that He chooses us and not we, ourselves.
In any case, she could have used her husband’s role as a protector to defeat the lies of the devil. One wonders what Adam was doing leaving his wife alone with a talking serpent. Man is the main one to blame for Eve’s being deceived.
IV. Paul’s Arguments
6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God”.
So here Paul gives the proper recognition to women as being the glory of man. Are we not blessed in that? Why should women be put down when God says that she is our glory?
You might point out that Paul while teaching women to wear long hair as a covering declares that it is a shame for a man to wear long hair; maybe because it was a Greek custom to have short hair. This passage really argues in favor of Paul being flexible and adapting to the cultural context of his time.
Here Paul is not opinionated or narrow in his assessment of the situation. As a church planter and an apostle, he had great concern for the welfare of his spiritual children. He was referring at this point to the shaven head of the Corinthian prostitutes and wanted the testimony of Christian women to be blameless. We are to avoid the appearance of evil.
So it was not a matter of being legalistic.
In Revelation chapter 2:15 John mentions the Nicolaitans. They are mentioned twice, forming a marriage of the Church and the world, through the ordination of a supposedly superior clergy elite class ruling or lording over a supposedly inferior laity, the spiritually uneducated masses if you will. This in Greek is the meaning of Nico and Laitan. It begins with a compromise and ends in powerlessness and destruction when the Lord judges and removes the candlestick of such churches.
Who were these Nicolaitans? It is supposed that this group whose name is derived from a man named Nicolas, compromised with pagan practices in order to allow Christians to associate with popular customs.
"you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
In the last half of the twentieth century more so pervasively and rapidly than before, the Church has been infiltrated by the world’s philosophy of Satan´s seed and has found a most welcome reception in the more liberal elements in its ranks.
As far as I know, God has not rescinded His commands to the Church. He has not changed one iota of His perfect, pure, eternal, unchanging Word. He still keeps on building His Church on the perfect, indestructible “foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone”. Ephesians 2:20.
Maybe our human hands build buildings imperfectly on faulty foundations that will crack and not support the weight. Not so with the Lord and his Word. Everything He creates and builds is perfect. We do not need to try and improve on it.
Further in 2 Corinthians 10:8, Paul continues with this theme after explaining to us the good use of his authority when he declares: “For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it”. We can see from these words that Paul always had his disciples’ best interest at heart.
Conclusion
Brothers and sisters, let us beware of practices prohibited by God in His Word, first introduced by people outside and inside the Church who distort the Scriptures to back up these practices and later on formulate a false theology once the practice has been entrenched in the lives of people.
True Christian practices should always have as their basis pure, sound doctrine and should stem from biblical principles and the leading of the Holy Spirit who will never contradict His Word. Sound teaching should always precede good practices, not the other way around because the human heart is so deceitful. Let’s leave this type of behavior to the politicians who have perfected it to an art.
Jean-Louis.

By Robert Jackson Harrison
As I look all the way back,
I can see You, now, Lord;
You were running through my dreams,
And so much more.
Your fingerprints, when as a child
I was covered by Your love,
All the way back, you were drawing me
To look to You above.
Carrying and molding me,
A shapeless lump of clay,
Guiding my steps to become
The man of faith I am today.
Oh, the grace that carried me -
The mercy that protected me,
All the way back, running to the One
Who would set me free.
When I need strength, now,
Or courage to get through the day,
I look back to those years gone by;
When You loved me all the way.
