JULY 12/13, 2025
{LX 601-29}
DECLARATION
For
[we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
{ Rom 1:16-17 KJV}
Sabbath Meditations
"BALAK" (Destroyer)
Num 22:2-25:9, Mic 5:6-8:2, 2 Peter 2:1-22
When Balak son of Zippor, realized all that Bnei-Yisrael had done to the Amorites, Moab became terrified because there were so many people. Moab was filled with dread because of Bnei-Yisrael. (Num 22:2-3 TLV)
Sunday Message
"OUR SPEECH/ HIS KINDNESS"
Col 4:6 / Psa 26:3
Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. (Col 4:6 NAS95)
OPENING PRAYER
Mighty and enduring Father and Author of all things, with humble hearts we thank You for gathering us here in congregation and fellowship to worship and grow. Let our souls be seasoned with Your Word. Let us receive wisdom, patience, and discipline of our bodies in Your glory in the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN
MESSAGE
Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances. Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise reprover [convince] to a listening ear. ; Thy loving kindness is before mine eyes.
(Pro 25:11-12 NAS95; PSA. 26:3 KJV)
This confusing verse from Proverbs 25 carries the Solomon-esk literary design, much like the Song of Solomon, or Ecclesiastes, also penned by the King. Unless you lived in the time of Solomon, it takes some study to connect the visuals with the topic at hand and the meanings behind them. The meanings are connected to the scene, the subject to the situation where the words point, and that is the quality of the speech, and its direct connection to that very moment and circumstances. The gold, silver earrings and ornaments validate that what is being said and represents high TRUTH; not deception. Think of it as a verbal exchange of a Gospel message or lesson. Our Lord God grants us a pretty wide berth on speech like this. His mercy and Grace if shown in the very next Psalm; Thy loving kindness is before mine eyes. (PSA. 26:3 KJV)
As you can tell, we have taken the LONG ROAD for our short journey to the topic of SPEECH and God's KINDNESS as He forgives a lot of the junk that comes out of our mouths, or the pens in our hands!
It is very big deal when you realize that Children of the Almighty, His kids, YOU and ME, need to be ever so watchful what we say and how we say it; Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. (Eph 4:29 NAS95) Sometimes, if you were not physically there, the utterance makes no sense! Inside jokes would be an example.
My mom and Dad learned from their mom and dad the old saying: "If you cannot say something nice about someone else, then say nothing!" Keep your trap shut! Loyd Earl, my dad used to say; "Gary Dean" If you want to be seen then STAND-UP. If you want to be heard then SPEAK-UP. But if you want to be taken seriously and be respected...sit down and SHUT-UP!!
He who speaks truth tells what is right, But a false witness; deceit. There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment. (Pro 12:17-19 NAS95) The Damage of deceptive speech has been known to kill!
Me, my mouth and I have had a very long relationship. We are in our 77th year, those LIPS and me. From as far back as I care to remember, the primary source of any trouble or grief had a connection to my mouth. I'm still a work in progress, thank You Lord for Your patience, and Your Love!
[Jesus says]: "The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
(Mat 12:35-37 NAS95) I now live by the personal rule of speech; "When in doubt..REPENT IT OUT!".
Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name. "They will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." (Mal 3:16-17 NAS95)
Therefore, thus says the LORD, "If you return,{REPENT}, then I will restore you—Before Me you will stand; And if you extract the precious from the worthless, You will become My spokesman. They for their part may turn to you, But as for you, you must not turn to them. (Jer 15:19 NAS95) DON'T BE LIKE THOSE OTHERS WHO DO NOT BELIEVE!
"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Mat 5:44-45 NAS95)
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. (Eph 5:1-2 NAS95)
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. (Eph 4:30-32 NAS95)
SUMMARY
The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in loving kindness.
(Psa 145:8 NAS95)
"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons [and daughters] of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
(Luk 6:35-36 NAS95)
LASTLY: ...Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. (Col 4:6 NAS95)
CLOSING PRAYER
Lord, thank You for gathering us in fellowship this Holy day. Our mouth is capable of causing great hurt to others, of stirring up trouble where there should be none. Careless flapping of the lips does not bring glory to Your throne, Father, it should bring shame to the offending speech. We confess of our error and repent in Your presence and receive Your Grace and forgiveness in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heav'n-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
