NOT WRITTEN IN NO BIBLE VERSE THAT tithe AROSE BECAUSE OF "tithe LAW", OR FROM ANY TYPE OF LAW OR THAT THE tithe OF FACT HAS BEEN ABOLISHED.

Tithing originated before Israel exists, before alliances exist before Levites there before laws existirem.O Levites tithe has nothing to do with law before after dízimos.O tithe has nothing to do with old or new aliânça.O tithe has nothing to do with the Levites or Israel, but rather because the pure crystalline truth is that the laws, alliances, the Israelites, the Levites who is born and bred to have relations with the tithe .

The laws, the covenants, the Israelites, the Levites, Moses, Aaron, etc. came to give more logistics, maintenance, creation of barns, cameras, cash to help tithe payers and suppliers as the weights and measures in food tithes that all days were slaughtered, washed, boiled, grilled, baked, broken and shared between themselves tithe volunteers, Levites, pilgrims, orphans,

. widows and needy of food, visiting and respect the mercy, love, and justice in God's House (Unfortunately many pastors do not know understand or understand the verse of Hebrews 7: 5,9).

All the people who come to visit churches, before starting to give faith or believe in the fallacy of the shepherds, before the tears and be moved by the music, "before hearing and to leave enchanted by the biblical words and music by Snake lovely "should ask the pastors if they really studied and understood about tithes and offerings, about Jesus and the word of God, etc. (Unfortunately many pastors and churches know nothing of Hebrews 7: 5,9 Hebrews 4: 9 Isaiah 66: 22,23 Matthew 7: 22-23 2ªPedro 2: 2-3 Revelation 12:17 Revelation 14:12) .These Bible verses can facilitate or help you to summarize all of them from the Bible, so that your faith never be exploited financeiramente.Nunca allow pastors or church or are able to explore your faith financially or economically.

Be aware that many churches hire and has many "artístas of faith," that many have publicly said they were paid for by the shepherds to say that you had been rich, and have much prosperity if you go to attend these igrejas.Portanto look only attend churches honest and honest and sincere pastors in explaining the word of God.

Many churchgoers are already "spiritually blind" because work and receive wages, but they are now saying that everything was the church that made in their lives, as if they had more dignity of being happy by working himself to them gives sustenance to eles.Até retirees who live and receive their own retirement have already embarked on this fanaticism, "that stuck canoe."

Note: When visiting a church, exercise your own right to know the word of God, to find out if their pastors teach the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and find out how they understand and interpret these passages: Hebrews 7 : 5.9 Hebrews 4: 9 Isaiah 66: 22,23 Matthew 7: 22-23 2ªPedro 2: 2-3 Revelation 12:17 Revelation 14: 12.Se they know less than you, and do not know as much as you know, it will be only you realize if you can feel a little safer to visit them when well quiser.A choice is yours.

Unfortunately many pastors show that beginners should develop and learn gradually as a child, taking leitinho Mom, all right, but the problem is that they themselves already taking goat and donkey milk, still without knowing the word of God, and without noticing understand or understand the verse of Hebrews 7: 5.9, among many others that exist in the Bible, etc.

Regarding Hebrews 7: 5.9 The vast majority of churches and evangelical pastors make a mess to explain a biblical verse as simples.A most churches and their pastors do not want to understand that the fact that a Levitical law was created just for give right to the Levites to have authority or free access to go take or collect tithes of his fellow Israelites, was abolished at the cross, in no way means that the tithe was abolished, because the tithe started by a melquisedequiano priesthood before there Levites before there Israelites, before there Levitical priests, before there laws to the Levites collect dízimos.Isso proves that the priesthood of Melchizedek imparted tithes and distributed food to all the poor in need of food, without discrimination, without prejudice, and without any social exclusion, not to mention that the first tithe mentioned in the Bible were not Levites or Israel, were Babylonian, pilgrims, Chaldeans, etc.

"The law requires priests the Levites who receive the tithes of the people, of their brethren, although these are descendants of Abraham" .HEBREUS 7: 5

- There is no biblical verse stating that tithing became law, that's a lie preached by most pastores.Até because this claim does not hold in the other books of the Bible, especially the New Testament books.

- The fact that a law required only the Levitical priests to collect tithe does not mean that all the tithe were Levites.

- The fact that it was given a labor law only to the Levitical priests, does not mean that this law was given to all non-Levites tithe.

- This was a labor law because when the Levitical priests completed 50 years, they they retired from their services as priests.

- All the sons of Jacob including Levi, had legal and familiar natural right to own the lands of his father Jacob or Israel (israel lands or Jacob, were divided for each son of Jacob, including Levi)..

- Because they were chosen to minister in the temple, the Levites lost their land to his other brothers, so God commanded the Levites to work collecting food only from farms of his fellow Israelites children of his own father Jacob.

- All the Levites had orders or commands to collect tithes (Hebrews 7: 9) of their own land his fellow Israelites, to feed themselves and all their family, women,

children, mothers in law, widows, old people, etc.

- When the Levites completed 50 years, they were retired from their jobs as sacerdotes.Daí had barns in the temples of God to the days of the apostles, to feed orphans, widows, poor, and needy of food in general, including the Levites.

Social inclusion is very characteristic of Jesus priesthood of the ministry, such as Melchizedek, both born in Salem or later Jerusalém.Quando call still life before his death on the cross, Jesus reconciled the world, without discrimination or prejudice , attracting all to Him, uniting Samaritans, Girgazeus, jebuzeus, Pharisees, Amorites, etc.

- Since ancient times even when there were Levites, had also this social inclusion, proving to eat and distribute tithes in your own home with the orphans in need of food, widows, etc. was never "sin" and never will be "sin" .

- Even when there was already Levites, the tithe tithes could eat in your own home, with social inclusion, including the Levites own, sentadinhos with orphans, widows, poor and needy of alimento.COISA LINDA! SERIOUS THING! That's the way! YES OR NÃoooooo ???? Deuteronomy 14: 27-29

"But not forsake the Levite that is within thy gates, because he has no part nor inheritance contigo.Ao after three years you shall bring out all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and lay it up within thy gates;

And the Levite, (because no part nor inheritance with thee), and ABROAD, AND THE ORPHANS, AND THE WIDOW, which are within thy gates, shall come and eat and shall be filled with; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of your hand which you do. "

- At that time there already existed and Levite law Levites and priests existed Levites, because Aaron was already Levitical priest, and also existed temple given by the Levites.

- Exodus 25: 8 "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them."

- Tithing never came because of no lei.O tithe was never law and never will be lei.O what actually happened, it was a commandment or labor law given by God, to the priests the Levites collect tithe paw themselves on farms of their own family members (brothers) .This command of social inclusion to give right of the Levites take tithes or receive food to feed on "tithes of their families brothers" Israeli ".This type of service was abolished because of Abraham was restricted to the Levitical priesthood (Levi) .Daí you should ask: Why the tenth gathering of command to Levitical priests was abolished?

- ANSWERS: The Bible itself gives many answers on this fact:

1st -. For changing the priesthood, necessarily also makes changing the law (Hebrews 7:12) 2:12 .Tiago law of voluntariness is for the faithful have free will to give without any charge or obligation, call now "law of liberality" is for the priests opened the chambers and barns for her faithful enjoyment of their rights to food tithes, but this is a fact to be dealt with later.

2nd Currently all Christians living under the priesthood of Jesus, in the sanctuary, according to Melquisedeque.Nenhum order another priesthood should be raised nor the veil was torn from top to bottom can be rebuilt.

3rd Jesus reconciled the world, the enmity between Samaritans, Levites, Sadducees, etc.

4th Tithing exist even if there were no law or commandment, because the tithe seeks power to all the faithful, pilgrims and needy of food, without discrimination and without prejudice.

ALL GOD'S HOMES, OR WHEN GOD CHURCH HAD CAMERAS AND BARNS, TABLES, CUTLERY, CHAIRS, GRIDS FOR FAITHFUL BAKING BREAD AND MEAT, COOKING FOOD, ETC (currently eat and to distribute tithes in the house of God, it would be much faster and easy to do because there are, stoves and grills to both electrical and gas, etc.).

5th The Bible never ever said "tithing became law" .This is a claim or gross misinterpretation no biblical basis.

6th Never any pilgrim or poor son of Abraham (not Levite) was arrested for failing to or paid tithing, because if he had not tithe, he would not stay with fome.Ele would have their food needs met tithes.

READ THIS SUMMARY TO UNDERSTAND AND UNDERSTAND THIS FACT AND EVEN MORE ENRICH YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE.

1. Of all the tithes collected, to strip "the holy of the tithe or tithe of the tithes" to the pastores.Por example if tithing were cattle (animals) the tithe himself carried the animal to the courtyard of the copper altar temple where there he took the knife and felled the animal, and a copper bowl poured the blood of the animal for the copper altar basis so as to burn the animal's blood to avoid contamination with blood, bacteria, etc. Hence the tithe imparted the animal and washed the part of the animal, he gave the thigh and the animal's chest as "payment", "saint of the tithe" or "tithes of the Tithes" for priests or pastors, for the services that they make to the work Deus.Números of 18: 21.28 Nehemiah 10:38

Note: Before there Levites before there temples, there was no services or works in the temple, but there was already tithes that were eaten anywhere, at the foot of the hill, in their own tithe, with the orphans,

pilgrims Abraham's children, widows, etc.

Suddenly comes the first Levita (Levi, was one of the sons of Jacob or Israel, where was born the Levites) and the Levites Moses and his brother Aaron, built the first temple, tabernacle or temple Deus.O first Levite Priest Aaron was the prophet Moses's brother, who was also a Levite.

When the prophet Moses had a vision on the hill, he saw a sanctuary in céu.Deus asked to make a copy of the sanctuary, and Moses then built the first temple of God, not by tithes (food)

but through offers, gold, silver, precious stones, wood,

embroidered curtains hand, animal leather fabrics, etc.

Nowadays some say the tithe is used to build temples, etc., but this claim has no biblical basis, because there is no temple in the Bible of God in the Bible, was ever built through tithing and no order was given by God to build temples or churches through tithes, because all the temples of God have always been built through deals.

Many Christians most studied this subject confirm that this idea of building the temple through tithing is an ideology to take at once, all rights biblically own tithe payers have to eat the tithe own and share it also with its own family in need of food,

pilgrims, orphans, widows, etc.

2. The Levites received tithes from two origins:

- Of his own son brethren of their father Jacob, who was later called Israel.

- And of those who were not Levites, like the Chaldeans, Babylonians as Abraham, Eshcol, Aner, we ate tithe, it is written of Abraham even Levi, who received tithes paid tithes through loot, etc.

NOTE: These spoils in the case of Lot and Abraham were cattle spoils of animals in general, because both Abraham and Lot, they were big ranchers and cattlemen had many lands, now they have not had their lands stolen, they had only their looted wealth.

- The Levites have been given orders given by God to only arrecadarem tithing that JACOB'S CHILDREN ISRAELI or who are their relatives and brothers family heirs) .Números 18:26

3. Pastors try to confuse and hinder the understanding of students and researchers on the topic "tithe of the tithes." (Nehemiah 10:38) .Some pastors undermine saying "tithe of the tithes" means "trízimo", the word "trízimo" they invented to confuse the faithful.

There are many pastors who undermine saying the word "tithe of the tithes" means 20%, which is the same as giving tithes two at once, etc.Infelizmente thousands of evangelical Christians and applaud and support these idiocies.

4. In the Christian era, there was still temples and synagogues who collected tithes in food properly kept and imparted diariamente.Atos 4:34 James 1:27

5. Tithing has two purposes: GIVE THEM AND GET THEM ONLY IN FOOD 1/10 to the treasure house / treasury (Malachi 3:10) and 9/10 for the needy

6. God never gave permission and freedom to the priests or pastors to use or take advantage of the full tithes as they do today

7. The Levites are only heirs of tithing brought by JACOB'S CHILDREN (ISRAELI) -their relatives and co-heirs brothers sons of Jacob.

8. Tell the Levites: When ye tithe of the Sons of Israel, which I have given you from them for your inheritance, their ofertem 1/10 to Senhor.Números 18:26

9. Give only a part of all received tithes of israelitas.Desses tithes (separate tenth of the tithe) to the treasury / House tesouro.Números 18:28

18. Of the 100% of the total collected tithes, pastors only entitled to 10% .The remaining 90% belongs only to orphans, viuvas.Josué 13:33 Numbers 18:26

19. Tithing tithes are stored in the lower chamber within the temple and are the treasury to pay pastors, singers, porters and despezas.

20. Of the collected tithes, pastors only entitled only to tithe of the tithes, as heritage; on the other hand has no inheritance to the remaining 90%.

22. The Levites as a tribe of Jacob (Israel) has family law, tithes of the Israelites and gave the priest, only a tenth of dízimos.Números 18:26

26. You will bring a contribution of all the tithes tithes recebidos.Desses you (take the tithe of the tithes) to the priest Arão.Números 18:28

27. The poor (Levites) receive alimentos.Os baskets priests the Levites divided 1/10% (Tithes of the Tithes) for the expenses of igreja.Neemias 10:38

28. The Levites priests worked in shifts in the temple and lived in his own home with his family working as ranchers and farmers.

35. Logically, the pastors of the Levites no descendants or Israeli tribe, can not call itself "Servants of the Most High God," and is not entitled to tithe of the tithes

36. There were two cameras: The 1st kept the tithe of the tithes to the priests levitas.A 2nd guarded the other part of the tithe to feed the needy

37. Numbers 18:26 The Levites who worked at the altar (pastors, etc.) is entitled to the tithe of the tithes, but has no right of inheritance to 90% restantes.Josué 13:33

The tithe of the tithes is what God has determined to pay the priests the Levites for the services at the altar Numbers 18: 21.28 Nehemiah 10: 38, now why then current pastors take 100% of the tithes to them?

Hebrews 7: 15-16 "And even more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 which was not done according to the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life".

SHORT COMMENT:

As human beings the Levitical priests were imperfect and therefore could not make perfect bidders, nor could they make perfect those who wanted to reach God.The proof is that many Levitical priests who were anointed, sanctified, even with all that they still had impure thoughts, and always committed sins as anyone, because all the Levitical priests were sons of mortal and fallible individuals, who also sinned, they aged and morriam.O that all wanted to teach?

- This lesson teaches that sin really makes the separation barrier in "cult release" tre the sinner and God.

- This lesson teaches that even if you are anointed, blessed, baptized, received healings and miracles, etc but if you do not keep the commandments and the laws of God, you will be raising and high wall that separates you or separate you from you come to God, to find that the Deus.Por "sacagás" seeks to deceive the abolishing Christians

destroying or stepping on the commandments of the Decalogue, so that the sinner himself raise this wall separating or out to see the light and the way that is Jesus, which prevents him from having full freedom of having the presence or seek the presence God for you, so many people create and build many churches that became worship instrument.

Many churches now considered more important than the laws and commandments of Deus.Frequenta it became more important to obey the laws and commandments of God.

Every day increases the number of people who ignore the commandments and laws of God, but who mistakenly think that their sins will be forgiven if they are to their churches attend church services every day, if they sing beautiful songs, if they raise their hands to ask for blessings, or if they make long exciting prayers, if they hear words of encouragement, words "powerful", or if they attend church services classified as "if they attend power of cults", "if they attend prayer meetings" "if they attend demon expulsismo cults", etc.

In fact all ministries or priesthoods not obey the commandments and laws of God, that is not discipularem individuals faithful and obedient to God, sure that priesthood is considered "old, old fashioned and cachectic" as the priesthood of the Levites was considered because not perfect or develop to anyone, nor can become perfect to any bidder, even if the offeror has shed thousands of generous offerings on the altar.

YOU STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL BE CHRISTIANS, AND RELIGIOUS GOSPEL THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER WITH JESUS?

Hebrews 7: 8,23 "And here receive tithes men who die; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that vive.E actually have been made priests in large numbers, since death prevented them from continuing "

Melchizedek had no genealogy, because he did not have neither father nor mother mortais.Os parents of Melchizedek do not exist, so he is a priest forever, just as Jesus was mortal as man, He never transgressed the laws of man, nor He ever transgressed the commandments of God and the laws Deus.Abraão was a kind of Christian disciple who obey and keep the commandments, statutes and laws of God (these commandments and laws saved by Abraham, were not Levitical laws or israel laws, or laws written with the finger of Moses did not exist Levites or Israel, or Moses) .Abraão was follower of the principles of Melchizedek.

Abraham was a type of Christian disciple, as Melchizedek was a type of cristo.Em Genesis 26: 5 reveals that Abraham obeyed my word and kept my commandments, my statutes, my statutes and my leis.Todos Christians should know that once Jesus revealed who your true eternal parents:

Matthew 12:50 says: For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God is my brother, sister and mãe.Lucas 8:21 And he said to them, My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and observe it. According to the eternal priesthood Melquisedequiano, which is the same priesthood of Jesus, all who keep the true laws and true commandments of God, out of love and obedience to God, receive eternal life will be eternal and will live with Jesus forever .

All Christians, evangelicals and religious should know that attend church, believe in miracles, expect blessings is one thing, now obey the commandments of God is outra.Uma thing is attending, sing, receive miracles, expect miracles, and have blessings, but another thing is to love God and kept all his commandments.

THE FACT IS THAT ATTEND CHURCH, SING, PRAISE GOD IS ONE THING, BUT OBEY GOD GUARDING YOUR LAWS AND HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS ANOTHER THING.

AH! YOU STILL THINK THAT IS NOT CORRECT, OKAY, LET'S READ MORE RATHER:

"NOT ALL THAT TELL ME: 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT HE DOING MY FATHER'S WILL THAT IS IN HEAVEN" Matthew 7: 21-23. (If you do not understand, no problem we will continue to read, possibly because by the end of the reading you will understand more clearly, but relax, sleep well, take a drink and then resume reading from the beginning).

NOTE: If you failed or was unable to understand this text, reread once, or show this text to your brethren church, teachers, friends, Christians, evangelicals, family, etc.

THERE ARE CHRISTIANS, GOSPEL AND RELIGIOUS, worthy, HONEST AND SINCEROS.TODOS ARE CHILDREN OF CHURCHES DEUS.PROCURE HONEST AND SINCERE TO PAY YOUR TAXES AND LACKING THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF CHOICE IS YOUR BÍBLIA.A.

Faithful to Death

And they won ... [Satan] because of the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and even in the face of death, not love their lives. Revelation. 12:11.

The dedication to a cause, especially in the face of death, is a rarity these days. There are, however, notable exceptions. During World War II, appeared in English newspapers an ad asking for volunteers messengers to the people responsible for the bomb alarms. It read: ". Boys of 16 and up, as messengers to report to the head of the anti-aircraft alarm."

Derrick Belfall of only 14, he felt called to do something for their country ravaged by war and offered his services. Was refused because of his age. Not giving up, he performed repeatedly until finally was accepted. Was asked to carry messages to the charge of anti-aircraft alarm in various parts of the city. It was his custom, after returning from a "mission," said respectfully: ". Derrick Belfall reporting; delivered the message"

One day when returning from one of his commitments, went through a building that had recently been demolished by a bomb. Rescuers worked frantically to remove the debris.

Derrick heard a child crying and offered help. They accepted.

Went down to the basement and, having found the child, took it to the members of the rescue team would put out of danger. Before he could even put yourself safe, a wall collapsed sandwiching it hopelessly. When asked if he wanted to send a last message to someone, he replied, "Say simply: '. Derrick Belfall reporting; delivered the message"'

By participating in the war against evil, we also introduce ourselves as volunteers to serve a cause - and people of all ages are welcomed; no one is rejected for being too young or too old. Large number of volunteers before we have won the victory over Satan, the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.

Great Faith, Great Gain

Realizing it Jesus said: Why discorreis among you of little faith, about having no bread? Not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand men ...? St. Mat 16: 8. To 9.

John McNeil, pastor in the British Isles, reports that once pastored a church that had heavy debts. This worried him, and he prayed much about it. One day a stranger came to his office, said he had knowledge of the church debt and offered help. Then, leaving a blank check on the desk of the pastor, told him to fill the value in the amount necessary, promising return later to sign the check.

The pastor could not believe what he had just heard. After the unknown broke, he began to rationalize: "This can not be true Does this man understand that our debt reaches thousands of pounds doubt he should pay all, if you knew the total But he told me to put the full value.?. . No, that would be unfair, would want to take advantage I only put half the value. ". And that's what he did.

When the stranger returned, signed the check without hesitation. Obviously was serious. The benefactor of the church was a well-known philanthropist. When the pastor understood that the man was able to fully cover the debt, wished he had written the amount that the church should.

See the Invisible

What is faith? It is the sure conviction that something we want will happen. It is for sure that what we hope is waiting for us, even though we may not see before us. Heb. 11: 1 (The Living Bible).

Even before there was powerful enough telescopes to see the planet Pluto, Percival Lowell, American astronomer, believed in the existence of this planet in our solar system. He came to this conclusion more than 15 years before the planet was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh, on February 18, 1930.

Lowell The belief was no guessing or guess 0casual.

He came to this conclusion through systematic observations and careful calculations of Neptune and Uranus orbits. Disturbances that he observed in these orbits convinced that there must be a planet beyond Neptune. Lowell was so confident in his existence, which gave the first two letters of the planet name to yet discovered the initials of its name - eg l. Also predicted that the planet would be found near the Delta of the Gemini constellation. The belief Lowell was confirmed after his death, when Tombaugh photographed and studied the outer region of Gemini and discovered the predicted planet.

Faith in the reality of heaven, as well as Lowell's belief in the existence of Pluto, is not a random guess. Rests always on "sure" the underlying evidence. Hypostasis, the Greek word translated as "certainty" in our text, is used in ancient papyrus to mean a legal document by which a person proved to be the owner of a well. In other words, a property deed.

Exercising faith, you and I can already consider ourselves in possession of the wonderful things that God has promised. This enables us not only to claim blessings promised for the future, but to receive them and enjoy them now. Thus, what the natural eye can not perceive (I Cor. 2:14), is visible to the eyes of faith.

Compulsion To Preach the Gospel

I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast, it weighs on me this obligation; yea, woe is me if I preach not the gospel! I Cor. 9:16. 

Most people certainly know that, some 75 years after the sinking of the SS Titanic, its wreckage was discovered and photographed in the North Atlantic background. Were not in place imagined all those years. As I write, the radio announces that a recently completed research revealed that it was false the claim made by the commander of the SS Californian, that his ship was "very far" from Titanic to her rescue the passengers. If this conclusion is true, what a terrible example of crass indifference! But, thank God, not all were so insensitive as that commander in relation to the more than 1,500 souls who perished that night. 

Four years after the Titanic sank, a Scottish young man stood up at a meeting in Hamilton, Canada, and said. "I am a survivor of the Titanic While I was drifting alone, clinging to a floating object, the currents brought John Harper, the preacher of Glasgow, close to where I was. 

'Man,' he asked, 'are you saved?' 

"'No,' I replied. 'I am.' 

"'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved," he admonished. And we were separated. 

"But it is strange to say that a little later, the waves came in again and he asked, 'You are safe now' I had to reply: 'Honestly, I can not say I'm already.' 

"He just repeated, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.' 

"Shortly after that, we were separated for the last time. Then, that night alone, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I am the last talk of John Harper." 

This was the kind of concern for the souls that Paul expressed when he said: "Woe is me if I preach not the gospel!" It's the kind of interest that all Christians should have. It is true that not all receive the same talents, but we must use those we have been given to help save others. 

Not the grammar, but the Message 

For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people the Lord, and he said: This is the rest, give rest to the weary; and this is the refreshing; but they would not listen. Isa. 12 and 28:11. 

The most successful soul winners were not always the most correct and polished preachers. Sometimes God has chosen humble people, men and women with no education to proclaim His message. 

Our verse speaks of those who "would not hear" the message of God that speaks of His messenger was "stuttering" and "strange". These people lose a lot by adopting this attitude. Do they belong to that class of persons for whom Paul says that surrounded themselves "masters ... having itching ears"? II Tim. 4: 3. 

At the beginning of the great evangelist Dwight L. ministry Moody, a critical approached him saying that his grammar was weak and his diction left much to be desired. 

- Mr. Moody - censored critical - you must not speak in public while not improve your grammar. You commit so many grammatical errors, which is a shame! 

- I am deficient in many things - Moody agreed - but I'm doing the best with what I have. - Then, turning the tables on the wizard, Moody said, - My friend, you have perfect grammar. What are you doing for Jesus? 

As far as I know, the critic never answered the question. 

On the other hand, the fact that God used sometimes people who do not cultivate oratory to proclaim the message, is no reason for us to acquire sloppy habits of speech. I think we all agree that a humble and dedicated speaker who uses good grammar and syntax and attracts their attention to God and His message, though an imperfect diction, can serve God more effectively than someone who speaks casually. 

The simple fact of our oratory be imperfect is no excuse to hide our light under a bushel. When we allow the Holy Spirit to use, can be relevant instruments in soul-winning, even if we can not preach like Paul.

[We] have become docile among you, like a caressing their children; well, wanting you so much, we were ready to offer you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives. I Thess. 2: 7:08. 

At the very beginning of the twentieth century, a sociology course of class at Johns Hopkins University conducted a study among children in the worst slum in Baltimore. Students that class visited the homes of the children, noted the good and bad influences that surrounded and tabulated his observations in chips. Two hundred of these chips were marked with the notation: "Destined to jail." The records were archived for future reference and study. 

Twenty-five years later, another class of the same university sought to make a study and found those chips. 

Decided to find those people and find out what had happened to them. It was not easy to find them, but finally located all one by one. Were astonished at what they found. 

Only two of those 200 had spent some time in jail! Students in the second group wondered how the first group of students had been so wrong. 

The reason was called Aunt Ana. This woman was a teacher who taught first grade in the slums of Baltimore and showed personal interest in their students. Time after time, the testimony of those who had influenced her was: "There is no doubt that my destination was the prison, but Aunt Ana made sure to put me in the right direction, and this constituted all the difference." 

When asked to tell of his success, Aunt Hannah answered modestly: "I just loved them as if they were my own children know, I never had my own boys and girls; this way, they were all mine in a sense.." 

What a noble spirit! 

Today, nearly a century after this story, American children are in serious trouble. And not just the children of America; worldwide delinquency among the less privileged and also among the wealthy is increasing. A Tia Ana modern could make a difference. Could it be that God is calling you to this kind of work? If so, He would find you willing to give up for the sake of these children? 

Concern Chosen People 

I proceeded to the Jews, as a Jew, to win the Jews. I Cor. 9:20. 

Though Paul was a Jew, became known as the apostle of the Gentiles because it took the history of salvation to the Gentiles of the Mediterranean world. Still, not forgotten his own people. 

She worried about his Jewish brethren. Notice how he exclaims in anguish of spirit, in Romans 9: 1-3:! "My people Israel My Jewish brethren How I long are you going to Christ My heart is downcast within me, and I grieve bitterly day . and night because of you know Christ - and the Holy Spirit -. that is not mere pretense my when I say that would be ready to be damned, if it could save them " (The Living Bible.) 

Moses felt the same way, because after the Israelites worshiped the golden calf, he said: "The people have sinned a great sin made gods of gold But now beg him to forgive this sin If not, I ask you to scratch me of!. book he wrote. " Ex. 32:32 (The Living Bible). That concern had these men for his people! 

Richard Wurmbrand, author of Tortured for Christ (Tortured by Cause of Christ), though a Jew by birth, was a professed atheist before becoming a Christian. Unbeknownst to him, a Christian carpenter who lived in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania, began to pray that God would help him win a Jew to Christ before he died. 

One day, the carpenter was irresistibly drawn to the village where lived Wurmbrand. When I heard that Wurmbrand was Jewish, befriended him. But it did more than that. She spent hours in silent prayer, seeking ways to drive Wurmbrand Christ. As the Holy Spirit worked through the carpenter, was aroused-interest of Wurmbrand. Carpenter gave him a Bible. The conviction led to the conversion, and that what was once an atheist, became a Nazarene humble follower. Later, Wurmbrand was instrumental to the achievement of many others to Christ. 

If Something's Headquarters 

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and said, If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. John 7:37. 

The worst place in the world where you feel thirsty is in a desert. I remember seeing pictures in a magazine years ago, showing two couples who had come to picnic in the desert, somewhere in Egypt, and were lost. The first pictures showed the four enjoying snack. Photos later revealed the already suffering from thirst. The last photo, apparently taken by the last survivor, showed the other dead. The camera and the bodies were found by a rescue team. 

It is said that once, when the Arab caravans were with little water supply, sent a rider ahead to find an oasis. After some time, both sent a second horseman behind him, and then a third. Once the first man found water, shouted to him who followed him, "Come!" This, in turn, shouted to the other, "Come!" and the last repeated the invitation to the caravan. Thus encouraged, men and animals continued in the hope of soon quench thirst. 

The worst seat in the world is not an organic thirst for water. It is the headquarters for that water that only Jesus can give. Many who suffer from this headquarters feel that something is missing, but do not know what it is. They need is the water of life that Christ offers. 

But have you noticed that, in his appeal to the thirsty sinners, Jesus talks about you and me? Immediately after our verse today, He says: "Rivers of living water will flow from the depths of anyone who believes in me." John 7:38 (The Living Bible). This expression includes us, is not it? 

As believers, we are the bride of Christ (see II Cor. 11: 2). It is through us that He distributes the water of life. But this is a work that we can not do alone. That is why Revelation 22:17 says, "The Spirit and the bride say, Come let him who hears say,... Come one who is thirsty come, and who want to receive for free the water of life"

Jesus: the way, the truth and the life

It was the last week of Jesus' ministry. The city of Jerusalem was teeming with pilgrims. The feast of Easter had come again. The Jewish Sanhedrin had hired false witnesses to accuse Jesus. Judas, driven by greed, had already sold and awaiting the time to deliver it. In this tense atmosphere that Jesus meets with the disciples in the Upper Room and minister to their heart a word of hope and comfort. Unfolds before the eyes of these men afflicted his purpose to prepare a place for them in the Father's house, showing them that they already knew the way to where he was going. Thomas the patron of skepticism, incontinent replies: "Lord, we know where you are going, how do you know the way?" (John 14.5). Then Jesus answered him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14.6). Jesus is a rather self-introduction significant in this text. What he actually saying?

1. Jesus is the way to God - Jesus is not one of many other ways. It is the only way. Christianity does not deal with the inclusive faith. Jesus was absolutely exclusive. There are no shortcuts to God. There are other routes that lead man to heaven. The popular expression that proclaims that all religion is good and all roads lead to God is an outright lie. The Bible says there are ways that seem right to a man, but in the end are the ways of death. Jesus is the only way that leads man to God. Jesus is the only gate of heaven. Jesus is the only mediator between God and men. Jesus is the only Savior of the world. Search go to God through other mediators is to take a broad way that leads to ruin. Embrace a religion that denies the uniqueness of Christ as the only way to God is to go down a road whose final destination is eternal perdition.

2. Jesus is the truth that illuminates the mind - Jesus is not a deceiver. It is not a farsário. He is full of grace and truth. He not only lived the truth and preached the truth. He is truth itself. Truth is not relative to preach some or flabby as they think others. Truth is objective, translucent and absolute. The truth is Jesus. He is not one of many truths. He is not a deity in the pantheon of many other deities. He is not one theory among many other religious proposals. Jesus is the only truth can fill our minds with light and warm our hearts with solid security. Jesus is not a truth discovered by man, but revealed by God. We know not by mental dexterity effort. We know because he revealed, because it was made flesh, because he dwelt among us full of grace and truth.

3. Jesus is the life that satisfies - Jesus is life, because it is the source of physical and spiritual life. Sin separated man from God and killed him spiritually. Man without God is dead in trespasses and sins. Man without God has no appetite for spiritual things. He is blind to the things above. Your heart is hardened and rebelled against God. Man without God is a slave of sin, the world, the flesh and the devil. He feeds on ashes and walks to eternal death, but only Christ can save him. Jesus is the one who gives life and it is life. No religion can take the man out of spiritual death. No ritual can lift it from the existential grave. Only Jesus has life. Only Jesus gives life. And only Jesus is life. Man seeks reason for life in many sources. But all these sources are polluted. Man seeks pleasure in drink, wealth, sex and success, but the end of that line is disgust and dissatisfaction. Jesus, and he alone is the life that satisfies. It offers life and life in abundance to all those who believe in him.
