Take the beam out of your eye First and your condition will improve

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.Matthew 7:5

One of the major problems in all types conditions people find themselves in is the refusal to "take the beam out of their owns eyes first so that they can see the true situation". In this short article we will cover  a few things concerning that and hope that it may bring some changes to our lives.


Relationships

Many of us experience difficulties in our relationships because of that very truth the Bible speaks off. Imagine if when we had a problem with others we took the time to hear their arguments not for the sake of  debunking it, but for the purpose of understanding them. It would help greatly . The problem with our relationship is that we always think we are right and the other is wrong, but we should take the time and analyze our own position . By truly analyzing our position we may uncover that we may not been right after all and have been blinded by our pride. Once we realize we are wrong  we should then have the courage to apologize to the other.


Poverty

Being in poverty is another aspect of which we need to take the beam out of our own eyes before
we blame others. A lot of people feel better by blaming others for their misfortunes when in fact they are a lot of times partly responsible for their conditions. We do not choose the conditions we are born into but we have choices to a certain degree to the conditions we remain in. A perfect example is the Haitian revolution. The Haitians were enslaved by the French for hundreds of years  and many were just resigning to the fact that they were born into slavery and the system was against them , that there was nothing they could do. That mindset was responsible for the continuation of their plight until a new generation arose and took the beam of despair from their eyes and said we had no choice in how we were born , but we will decide on how we live and as the saying goes the rest is history. Haiti became the first independent black nation in the world. So you see friends if you find yourself in poverty do not keep yourselves in that state by blaming the system, your environment ,etc... Take the beam out of your eyes and then you will be in a  better condition to see your way out .

The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36"So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.John 8:36








Practical

So friends the Bible is a spiritual book with many practical instructions. Jesus states if the Son free us ,we shall be free indeed. Let us start the process by first looking inwardly to see if the situations we may be in are because of the beam in our eyes before we go around blaming others.


The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
