Romans 12:9-13 ~ hold Fast to what is Good

 


Romans 12:9-13




9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 

Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 

Contribute to the needs of the saints 
and seek to show hospitality. 




Today I was publishing my grandmother Anita's book, she titled, "Papa" on the family Facebook group. Stephen Pinckney Richardson was Anita's father, he died in his 40s from Pneumonia. In the 1910s. And her memories of her father are dear and warm. So much of her memories are the unspoken gratitude and thankfulness he led his children to feel. She reports, again and again, she felt such a Spirit of Love and kinship with the 12 children. Anita is describing something profound we will all feel in Heaven. Communicating the Goodness of God almost wordlessly. Finding joy surrounding them.

As much as Anita loved them, they weren't her God of Love. 

Today I published, coincidentally, on Sunday, the family of 12 children, some are grown with children of their own, traveling to Church. Fisher Methodist Church in Richardson, Louisiana.  

Then with another coincidence, my cousin Tommy wrote and said the Church would close December 16. Let's pray this doesn't stay closed, His life and Joy surround their fellowship in Jesus Christ. Amen. Many days have passed since the family has gathered in Reunions.

Why does life have change, uncertainty 
Why are the Kings of Israel warriors. David is a warrior. Jesus is surrounded by intrusions of His Children having difficulties and openly challenging Him. It's a good question at Thanksgiving time.





2 Samuel 5:1-3

5 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh. 2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. 

And the Lord said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.’” 

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.

And this was the 4th Time David was crowned in Israel, before over merely portions. He had to wonder where was the End Zone, Finish Line, Grand Finish from God's Anointing. David's immediate behavior was for us to see, David was tired and yet danced with all his might.

We are blessed to be told to pray for Heaven on earth. Each day we see the need for this prayer. The test determines the people we will be.




My mother once said Grandmother Anita's book was about what she wanted to see. This family continued to have their midday meal together for 62 years, to feed Anita's mother, Lena. This was fellowship, service, duty and fun.  They really did the work of family. To love, to tolerate, to goad a little, to bother and to return. Grandmother Anita was seeing what they lived. Mother's comment only makes us examine what Anita was saying. To study her words to see if they are valid. The conflicts we have either cause us to find the strength of God pulling us up in strength and love, or weaken us.

Grandmother must have known this was going to be an opinion of the readers, not involved in their family life, she records the words of cousins surrounding them, immediately. She must have felt witness was required. Part of being in communion and community.

Brings us back to 62 years of fellowship. This was an adoption of bone to flesh. A unity.

Grandmother is teaching about Unity, seen at a level we don't regularly live. This is seen from a depth far from transient. And because this isn't the regular thing, there will be "The Comment." We will all live. In Jesus!


“ Behold, we are your bone and flesh. 2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel."

Only Sincerity is going to cause this to strengthen us. Because testing will happen. Comments will be said. One of the 12 children, willfully and with intention, fell into profound alcoholism and died of this very young. We have to rely on God to help us in our fellowships and family.


1 Timothy 6

Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 

12 Fight the good fight of the faith. 

Take hold of the eternal life

 To which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 

13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, 
who in his testimony (even) before Pontius Pilate 

Keep Making the good confession, 
14 to keep the commandment unstained 
and free from reproach 

Until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He will display at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion. 
Amen.

 
Jude 1:21 
Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
 to bring you to eternal life.





How? Biblically, socially and even in familiarity:

1 Timothy 6

2 Those who have believing masters 
must not be disrespectful 
on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved.

We need a world of courtesy.

How?  When we deal with haters, lack of facts or respect, gall without mercy?


1 Timothy 6 Paul and Timothy knew about this in the First Century A.D.

4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. 







The Bible verses don't say you have to have great oratory skill.  
Certainly Moses did not. Paul was called to help Peter's worldwide Mission. Instead, endurance and perseverance with care and love is called for. Loyalty. Expectation of goodness. The Bible says speak of your faith, what draws you to Loving the Lord. The Bible doesn't say Pontius Pilate's tonsils rang with the effort of ringing his bells. No, instead, merely give your faith with sincerity and when this is available with Love.


Why was Pontius Pilate even worth the effort of Jesus? 
God thought Pilate and his wife were worthy of an Acts 2 Dream about Jesus, the Christ of God.  And the soldiers went back to Rome and the world was set ablaze. Herod's household held vast and millenniums noted men and women of faith within ear shot. Conversations go forth.


John 1
Jesus brings Light into the world, and though
the world is full of darkness, it has not
overcome His Light

John 14:19 

Because I Live, You Also Will Live


Mark 14:15



"He will show you a large room upstairs, 
furnished and ready. 
Make preparations for us there."


Genesis 1:31 

And God saw everything that He had made,

 it was very good. 

And there was evening and there was morning

Then they said to Him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”


“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.”




Colossians 3:12

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
 kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

“Preach the Bible at all times, if necessary, use words.” 

Saint Francis of Assisi

  

Joshua 1:11

Go through the camp and tell the people, 
'Get your provisions ready. 
Three days from now you will cross the Jordan 
here to go in 
and 
take possession of the land 
the LORD your God is giving you for your own.'


Luke 13:21

Heaven is like leaven, yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.

and the fruit is sweet to my taste.

Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you!
Therefore 
He will rise up to show you compassion. 
For the LORD is a God of justice. 

Blessed are all who wait for Him!

Psalm 95 ~ Thanksgiving



Psalm 95




Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving;
    let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

3 For the Lord is a great God,
    and a great King above all gods.

4 In His hand are the depths of the earth;
    the heights of the mountains are His also.

5 The sea is His, for He made it,
    and His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

7 For he is our God,
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    and the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts 

As at Meribah,
    as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the test
    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation
    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
    and they have not known my ways.”
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,
    “They shall not enter my rest.”








Genesis 9:13-15

I have set My Bow in the cloud,
 and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

 When I bring clouds over the earth and the Bow is seen in the clouds,
 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you
 and every living creature 
of all flesh.

 And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy 
all flesh.



Psalm 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!


2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.


3 Fire goes before him
and burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The Heavens proclaim His righteousness,
and all the peoples see His glory.


And like Psalm 95, Isaiah telling of Heaven

Isaiah 14 

‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
    I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
    in the far reaches of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
    I will make myself like the Most High.’

Song by Elliott Hodges

1 Thessalonians 4:17

Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together 
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,
 and so we will always be with the Lord.


Isaiah 45:7-9

I form light and create darkness;
    I make well-being and create calamity;
    I am the Lord, who does all these things.

8 “Shower, O heavens, from above,
    and let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
    let the earth cause them both to sprout;
   
 I the Lord have created it.

9 “Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
    a pot among earthen pots!
Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
    or ‘Your work has no handles’?



Jeremiah 4

13 Behold, He comes up like clouds;
    His chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are swifter than eagles—



Abba, Father, 

Our Father who art in Heaven
Dwell in us
Hallowed by Thy Name
You have given us
the Name of Jesus covering us.
We pray in the Highest Name of Jesus.

Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will be Done
On earth,
as it is in Heaven.
Blessed to pray to
see, to be and to live
Heaven on earth.

Give us this Day!
Our Daily Bread.
Teach us Your Will,
Your Word and Encourage
us in You.

Forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
you trespass
against us.
Bless us to be in Your Grace
and not sinned against,
merely trespass.

Lead us not into temptation.
Deliver us from evil.
We ask in the Name of Jesus.

For Thine is 
The Kingdom,
The Power
and
The Glory.

We pray in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Son of God, Messiah. Thank You.
Amen.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
