Submitting ourselves to the claims of Jesus Christ,together we seek to hornor Him,embody His presence and proclaim His Gospel with authenticity,humility, and love. As it is read in 2Chron.30:8 Do not be stubborn,as they were, but submitt ourself to the Lord,and come to His Temple which he has set apart as holy forever. We do not need to be bound by our failures, we can recover if we are willing to submit our lives to God and His Son Jesus Christ.

Giving our tithes to God is a great privelege. Tithes are dived among God's servants. Jesus, however, warned that strict tithing must accompany concern for the more important demands of the law,namely, for just and merciful living. (Matt.23:23; Luke 11:42). Isariel was warn about picking there own king,but they decided not to listen. The people of Isariel rejected God's rule through the judjes and demands. In the Bible,God tells us in, Malachi 3:10 about our tithes. Using our tithes wisely, it provides needed encouragement and sobering reality to those of us in recovery. Everyone has been given various abilities by God; no one is untalented or worthless.Giving our tithes to God is worthy and talented.We have our choice, to give or not to give, tithe or not to tithe,and be Bless by God.God is our creator,"King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords." Follow,and Serve God.

Our culture is our own morality beliefs in the world.The only way i believe,is speaking, and knowing the truth with our christian beliefs. God is Righteous, we have to be righteous with God at all times.We have to study his Word and understand His Word. We have to live in God's righteousness in order to have peace,joy,love patience,kindness.We know the world is corrupted,an we cannot live a righteous way that God's Son,Jesus Christ taught us, by following the world. Our fears and inadequacies need not to stop us from serving God.Good friendships are extremely valuable, especially in recovery. An important part of recovery involves our relationship with God and His Son "Jesus Christ" and with other people.

JUSTICE-it is the standard by which penalties are assigned for breaking the obligations of the society VENGEANCE- the human way of saying,"an eye for an eye,and, a tooth for an tooth" as we call it,"revenge" MERCY-is an action taken by the strong towards the weak We admitt to God,to ourselves, and to others the exact nature of our wrongs. God's goal in sending his Word to us is that we may receive forgiveness This involves,opening our eyes to our true condition.

He wants us to receive immediate forgiveness based on the finished work of Jesus Christ.

In Deut.10:18,says, He gives justice to the orphants and widows. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. If our hearts is right with God,then our relationships with other people can be made right, too. when our heart has been cleansed and we have been reconciled to God,we will begin to see a difference in a way we trear others. It is so easy to become harden by circumwstances, it's natural for us to respond to difficulties with stubborness and rebellion Here we are asked to keep our heart soft and our ears open to God.God desires to communicate with us, and we need to be willing to listen and obey and follow through. Passing by people on corners with signs asking for a helping hand,does not mean we have to ignore them. Our problem is that we believe most are fake, do not want to work,or what ever it is,we should let God judge them. Let's continue to communicate with God.

Although Isaiah had many gifts, his success was primarily a fruit of his humility and faithfulness to God's will for his life. When God called him, Isaiah had an overwhelming sense of his own sinfulness. He admitted his sins abd turn to God for cleansing and deliverance When God revealed his will for Isaiah, the prophet pursued God's plan with determination. He spoke and lived out God's will for him despite opposition. As a result, God used him to confront his people with their sins and to comfort them as they faced a painful future.

Have you never heard or understood? Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. Waiting on the Lord is the patient expectation that God will fulfill his promises in his Word and strengthen us to rise above life's difficulties. It means we must completely trust in God. Even the strongest people get tired at times, but God's power and strenght never to become gradually less. God is never too tired or to busy to help or listen. His strength is our source of strength. We can always call upon God to renewed our strength or even when we are down,He lift us up. Put our trust in God,remember,God is almighty and powerful. Nothing is impossible for God.

There is at least seven names and titles in Psalms 95. Lord Rock of Salvation Great God King above all gods Creator of the earth Lord our maker Shepherd The Psalmis is calling on us to sing praises, shout with joy to our Lord God. The Psalmis is also warning us not to harden our hearts against God. If we resist God long enough, He may toss us aside like harden bread, useless and worthless

The makers have the rights to build,create,love,hate, sell, buy,or do what he feels like to do. The maker can make himself or herself look good or bad to the public and to themselves. There is all kinds of makers. These makers also have a law to obey to do what is right. There is one maker who has even more rights than any other maker. That is GOD who created us from the beginning . GOD not only created us, He also created the heavens and earth. He also taught us love,smile,goodness,kindness an other loving things,and at times we try to tell him he has no rights. GOD himself have every rights to tell or show, and teach us all good. HE created us,and we should learn from him. Yet we have failed, HE came down to earth has a man and died on the cross to save us. When he created us,he was proud of what he made Although we have a sinful nature that came as a result of a FALL. There are excellence and dignity inherent inbeing humanthat should cause us to ponder our potential for good or bad.

We as the pot, at times or many of times has a mind of our own, that we do not need the potter. We think that we could do better than God. We make our own God. We make idols that connot help us one bit.We think of an idol is anything natural that is given scaredvalue and power.What we should know at all times is these question to ask our selfs. Who created me? Whom do i ultimately trust? Whom do i look to for ultimate truth,do i look to for security and happiness and who is in charge of me future. To check out these question is to read the bible. The bible tells us about our creator, that there is no other God who created us. He is our only Potter. We the pot do not know any better without the Potter. We are lost without our Creator. I know i am,. and there is many others out there who are like me. As a pot,we should listen to the potter who created us.

Daviv saw a mortal man defying almighty God. He knew he would not be alone when he faced Goliath. David knew God would fight with him,and also he look at his situation from God"s point of view. Viewing impossible situations from God"s point of view helps us put giant problem in persoective. Because some or most of us rejected God"s mercey.For when we accept Christ"s love and his salvation,we have no cause to worry for the coming judgement.

The idea of "first"and"last" tell"s me about God, is that he is the one an only God and no other Gods like him. He is the only creator of the heavens and earth. God"s revelation to Moses,God is the past,present,and future. Without him we have nothing that is eternal,nothing that can change our lives,and nothing can save us from sin.Honor and respect the one who is the beggining and the end of all existence,wisdom and power.

God is the habitation of his people,who find rest and safety in him. Justice and judgement are the habitation of God"s throne,because all his acts are founded on justice and judgement. God inhabits eternity dwells not only among men, but eternity where time is unknown:and"the praises of Israel", he dwell among those praises and is continually surrounded by them. Love,joy, peace,eternal glory,we share in the promise through Jesus Christ,we come with freedom and confidence into God"s presence,we are set free of our sinful nature. This is what i believe it will be like when i inhabit eternity with the Eternal God.

Two names God would now be known by. Aname that denotes what he is jn himself, I AM THAT I AM. This explains Yahweh,and signifies, 1) That he is self-existent: he has his being of himself. 2) That he is eternal and unchangeable, and always the same,yesterday,to-day,and forever.3) That he is incomprehensible; we cannot by searching find him out:this name checks all bold and curios inquiries concerning God. 4) That he is faithful and true to all his promises,unchangeable in his word as well as in his nature. No idols of Egyptians or false believers could ever stand against God our creator.

the name of God holds an important key to understanding the doctrine of God and revelation. the name of God is a personal disclosure and reveals his relationship with his people.In the new testment,God"s name is manifested most clearly in Jesus Christ. HE is called "the Word" and Jesus Himself makes the claim that He has revealed the name of God. When I worship,I say God the Father,Lord God,Mighty God,Heavenly Father.
