Understanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: Where Did Jesus Come From also Christmas song titled The Christmas Child by Carl VastaBible Seeds: At this Christmas Season, 2022, we must remember that God is perfect and He made you as perfect as you are going to be. The so-called scientist, who are pretty much sponsored by your taxes and your governments are trying to convince you they are making improvements on God's creation. That is You!God has already taken care of bringing you into perfection through His Son Jesus, His Holy Word! No amount of money could do this. No world congress of agreeable nations could bring forth a state of Heaven like the one that has already been created...2022-12-0416 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: Watch Out For The WolvesBible Seeds: If we look at these four parables closely, we see that Jesus is trying to warn us, what to watch out for, in the church. Jesus' victory over death at the cross made Satan use another tactic to try to defeat Christians in the church. The old saying, "If you can't beat them, join them! Watch out for the 'weeds among the wheat' and the wolves in sheep's clothing.'2022-04-2420 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: You've Got A FriendBible Seeds: Over the 55 years I spent singing and playing keyboard in many clubs, restaurants and events, there are many songs that remain with me because they speak of the human emotions that evolve from time of trouble. One of these songs is You've Got A Friend. Whenever I performed this song, I could not help think of these lyrics as being sung to anybody but the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.... my GOD.Abraham was considered by God to be more than a worshiper. He was considered by God to be a friend!2022-04-1016 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: The Best Resting PlaceBible Seeds: When my wife died, she was buried in a family plot but we had already moved about two hour away in another county. We went to the cemetery a few times but it was really hard when we wanted to remember mom. We had four boys 13, 11, 9 and 5 years old. A friend of Mary's had gold leafed a short bust; a statue of a woman holding a baby close to her chest. We put it on a cabinet in the living room and we remembered mom on special days by decorating the bust with flowers on her birthday and...2022-03-2721 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: The Last Days vs TodayBible Seeds: what I find so amazing about people's faith and scripture is that the people living with the early writings had more faith with less proof than the people living today. We have more evidence today, because of geological findings, that the cities, people and events that were written about in the bible and were considered doubtful, actually did exist! And a scripture from Jesus gives weight to this assumption when He asked in the book of Luke, Chapter 18, verse 8 . . . "when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the Earth?"2022-03-1313 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: Bringing A Curse Upon YourselfBible Seeds: Let us not curse ourselves by taking the advice of Satan.

But that was Chapter Four! Alot of sequels came out after that but people always wondered how it started. They finally had to make movies of how it got to Chapter Four. It's not so different with the Bible. Why start at Chapter four? It makes more sense the first time when you start at the beginning.2022-01-1610 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: See It ComingBible Seeds: Do You See It Coming? The bad news is that regardless of the New Year, SIN is coming to full bloom and into the Tribulation. It will get worse before it gets better, according to the bible. The good news is that Jesus loves you and wants you to be raptured before the tribulation. He doesn't want to leave you here for God's punishment of those who won't turn away from their sins and turn back to God. It's a sad day when your Creator will not hear or act upon your cries for help. He will not...2022-01-0217 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: The Best Present You Can Give Your ChildrenBible Seeds: The best Christmas, Birthday, Hanukkah, or Easter present you can give your children is learning how to make the right decision during the early years.

As an example, what if your wife asks you to go to the store and get the favorite food she likes because it is easy for her to cook. And while you’re there, pick up her favorite dessert!The guys would probably say, “I don’t know what your favorite food is.

By your husband? By your wife? By your Father or your Mother? By your children? By members of your own family? If you live long enough, the chances are you will face that situation!2021-05-1612 minUnderstanding God\'s WordUnderstanding God's WordBible Seeds: Throwing Pearls To SwineBible Seeds: Although my wife Mary wasn't here long enough to see the successful results of her gifts, she was like the lyric of an old song that went, "How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles. Her jewels and her treasures, She found them in her baby's smiles".And to all the MOMS around the world: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
