I sort of stole the idea so there may be some legal issues later but.... welcome to blains cafe we only serve quality discussions here as we are fresh out of coffee and tasty food.
my first conversation is about handling a situation out of love. We are Christians and we claim to be love however every now and then we slip up and emotions tend to run wild and we say things we later regret. did this happen to you today? were in a debate and lost your cool for a minute? or were you stuck in traffic and maybe go to frustrated and said or thought things you know were not nice? maybe you are at work and there is a person who really gets to ya and you maybe were not as nice as you could be.
Now what can you do to avoid this? I advise you first take a biiiiig breath and slowly breath out this isnt just a yoga thing it really does relax you. next maybe start a conversation with god to distract you from your problem or turn on the tunes listen to some christian music also maybe read some scriptures.
i hope this has helped you even just a little maybe next time we will have coffee:]
Dearly beloved Blain, with all due respect to you and others, you yourself confessed within your conflicting heart, in realizing 'there will be (Kingdom) legal issue', regarding your new establishment,
Yes, your conscience Biblically is right that GOD dislikes it. HE through HIS unworthy servants, wants us not to judge, but to only remind and stir up memory about a 'jealous' GOD, watching HIS children who are still learning 'astray', because of the deceiving facts of 'elemental spirits' according to Romans chapter 1, naturally of this deceived carnal/fleshly knowledge and 'self' centered world, without the true GOD and in enmity to GOD.
In the time of Moses, in the book of Deuteronomy, while he once again reminded and stir up the memory of Israelite of GOD's given Covenant, which GOD made with them earlier when they came out of Egypt, and also his loving duty to them, before he leaves his body, and further while there were also remain Pagans lived surrounding their nation and in their ignorance practices of false god worships, even sacrificing their own children.
Moses said to them,
'not to see and be influenced in the their pattern of worship to their gods, and imitate such ideas in practices and establish them in Israel, mixed with their given initially by GOD 'instructions' of worship and together worship in pleasing to the LORD their GOD.
For the LORD thy GOD forbids and it will be an 'abomination' against HIM.'.
Along the years when GOD was silent, because HIS Covenant through Moses have already been given and also reminded, Israel forgot in their busyness, GOD's Covenant and the instructions through Moses, even the Priests, elders/leaders and scribes, chosen, acting on behalf of GOD in taking good care HIS lambs and sheep of Israel. Mainly the punishment Israel faced as violating GOD's Covenant through Moses was 'abomination' against HIS Holiness. HIS complaint to the Prophets HE sends again and again to warn Israel, is based on this adoption 'yeast' of unbelievers.
And also the same Living GOD through CHRIST, in the New Covenant, and by the Help of the HOLY SPIRIT taught us that;
"Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but rather allow GOD to renew your thinking."
Renew our thinking through HIS 'every Word'(CHRIST's HOLY SPIRIT teachings and revelations of the Holy Bible, that is 'all Scripture was inspired')
GOD willing in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST, i do not care what historians, theologians or even muslims or even also 'wise and prudent Christians' research, think, say that the Holy Bible is corrupted and is corrupt. But what remains 'at hand' still, by the will of GOD is sufficient for my foundation of faith and there are still remain valuable 'Spiritual lessons' to grow from, with and by the Help of the HOLY SPIRIT our placed 'Helper', as an 'ordinary people' like others unwise and as a child of GOD for now.
These people of growing doubts, 'equally yoked with this world' and forgetting GOD's Covenant's 'every Word', truly are not
born from above of water and of the HOLY SPIRIT. 'As it is written about them, that;
"They will look and look(in the Holy Bible and everywhere)
, but they cannot see. They will listen and listen(to the least important, unworthy servants of GOD and whom in irritation of the 'light', which only highlights darkness and which remains in them, whom they will also plot and persecute later)
but they cannot hear."
Because GOD by CHRIST and whom prayed to the FATHER, Himself said;
"Thank you FATHER that You have hid these from the 'wise and prudent' and showed them to 'ordinary people'."
So beloved Blain of CHRIST and also others, the LORD wants me to serve, as a reminder and a sir up of memeory to church that, as it is written;
"Give back to the emperor what belongs to the emperor and give to GOD what belongs to GOD."
And so in similarity;
"Give back to the world what belongs to the world and give to GOD what belongs to GOD."
You are all and me truly blessed hearing these and other's of Grace and Truth of the 'New and Old treasure' of the Covenants in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
