The joy of Jesus is our strength. He wants us to have an abundant life—to have fun? What do you do to have fun?

Please try to answer this trivia question...

Pastor Gerald gave a teaching tonightAt Bible Study based on a video of the Peterson brothers from Kansas. Following is a brief resume of the humility test he gave, which the Peterson brothers and family passed in flying colours. Humility Test

Are you humble? Can you pass the test of humility? Three brothers of the Peterson family in Kansas demonstrated the quality of humility in an interview they had after their success in making YouTube videos. They were interviewed in New York on Fox news. Ten points explain why they are humble as a family and those same points show how we can demonstrate humility in our lives:

1.     Setting your priorities (your walk with Jesus as the first).

2.     Making your work fun so it's not a matter of status or competition.

3.     Working together.

4.     Learning to have fun.

5.     Grateful to God for the talents He has given us.

6.     Valuing all of God's creation, all the things He has made for our enjoyment.

7.     Respect for one another (listening to each other rather than thinking about what we're going to say).

Some say the Catholic Church is claiming that Jesus was the son of an alien? What do you think? Could Jesus return in a UFO as an alien? What does prophecy say about this?

“What difference does it make? Four Americans are dead!” Mrs. Clinton, you have no idea what difference it makes. The difference is that the blood of those Americans is on your hands and on the hands of the president, since neither of you bothered to have your hands on the situation. Do you even realize that the murder of an ambassador is a declaration of war for any self-respecting nation? Do you and America have no self-respect? Mrs. Clinton, do you have any idea what this shameful betrayal, cover-up, and blatant lying are going to cost all Americans, including you and your children? Read more and comment on our Freedom Blog on this important turning point for our Western nations, including Canada.

We’re sure you don’t have any idea what this means, and we wonder if any government leader cares. We do. We are called to announce the demise of a nation as Jonah was. The difference...

We realized when we changed the name of a chapter in the Bible Code Broken book on our A-Z section to reflect what it was mainly talking about, the Sabbath, the views shot up! We believe people are searching for an elusive joy they can only find by meeting Jesus on His day of joy, the Sabbath. So we include here the complete blog entry revised a bit, a blog that was highly popular. Please tell us why you have personally experienced joy by keeping the Sabbath. Tell us why you can see the joy coming if you  haven't kept it yet. Angus T. Jones, a teen TV star, begin keeping the Sabbath recently, and the word he enthusiastically used to describe it was the word, "blessing." Indeed it is! See why this blog brought so many responses a year or so ago... How was your week? Have you had “issues,” problems that you are dealing with that are not yet resolved? Whatever our issues, they are always difficult for us. So we thank God that many of us have received the truth about the Sabbath and how we can lay down three hours before Friday sunset our weekly cares to Jesus so we can enter His special day of joy and rejoicing, no matter what our weekly circumstances have been.  If you didn’t, do it now. Here are a few verses to consider along these lines: Rom. 13:1-12 … for now salvation is nearer than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near…. [Sabbath day picturing the end of Satan's mess that intensifies in these last days] Jer. 31:13 I will turn their mourning into joy…joy for their sorrow… [Jesus is coming to replace the days of sorrow and tribulation by His rule of love, peace and joy]. We have resurrected our popular blog by the same title, so please go right now to…   and tell us why you like Jesus’ day of joy....

We recently lost a very special and anointed woman of God. She admitted she forgot for awhile what she was teaching the church in her last words, not to be offended by those who pray wrongly and curse. She seemed to be tired of fighting the battle of the many attacks of wrong prayers and words, even from believers. She told those around her not to raise her,which they could have done. Because of the weak period she traversed, spells had been put in place that did not allow her lungs to be drained. She celebrated her life and turned in over to Jesus, forgiven and victorious after a dedicated time of walking in her anointing. We should rejoice in that, realizing that while raising the dead is God's perfect will, we sometimes fall short of that perfection.

We learned tonight at Bible Study that most people, even from their teens, have been conditioned to love and desire death. Just as First Testament people died and slept with their fathers in the place of the dead, so when we lose dear relatives we set our wills to desire to be with them in death. We live in a society with a death culture. People are fascinated by death, which brings a lust for it and an identity fixated on death. We must lay down this desire and identity at the new moon. There is virtually always something in us that desires death, which keeps us from walking fully with Jesus seeking life. What is it in you? Is it hopelessness, loneliness? What is keeping your youth from being renewed as God promises? What part of death have you set your will to love? To seek and choose life, we need to lay down all connection and love of death.

The decision has just been made in the US for women to serve side by side with men on the front lines of the battlefield. Is this God's way? Israel tried this, and then they found that men would go to help women in trouble rather than concentrating on the enemy. What do you think? Is it discrimination and sexism for women to be excluded from the rigors and demands of battle? Are there Bible examples of women warriors?

Tell your dream here for interpretation.

War,lies, poverty, pain, loss, sickness, death...which world problems make you yearn for God's Kingdom to come on earth? The Sabbath is a time to reflect on the need to see the Kingdom come? What most makes you want to see the Kingdom of Love to come quickly?

There is more and more talk about intentionally ending the life of older people to relieve their suffering. Is this God's will? Are there "death panels" to perform such life termination in Obamacare?

Tell us please what you do or don't do for these end-of-year holidays and why or why not.
