13 Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. 15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have any word of [c]exhortation for the people, say on.”
16 Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen: 17 The God of this people [d]Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with [e]an uplifted arm He brought them out of it. 18 Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness. 19 And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.
20 “After that He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. 21 And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ 23 From this man’s seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a[f] Savior—Jesus— 24 after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’
26 “Men and brethren, sons of the [g]family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the [h]word of this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. 28 And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. 29 Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the dead. 31 He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people. 32 And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise which was made to the fathers. 33 God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’
34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to [i]corruption, He has spoken thus:
‘I will give you the sure [j]mercies of David.’
35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:
‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
36 “For David, after he had served [k]his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and [l]saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up [m]saw no corruption. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. 40 Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
41 ‘Behold, you despisers,
Marvel and perish!
For I work a work in your days,
A work which you will by no means believe,
Though one were to declare it to you.’ ”

Good morning to all.
As God, the person we now know of as Jesus Christ had no beginning, was not begotten, was not a Son, and did not come into being. He always existed as God. But as man and as God's Son He was not eternal. He had a beginning. He was begotten -- the same time Mary had a Son. Therefore, the doctrine of eternal sonship of Jesus Christ is irreconcilable to reason, unscriptural, and contradictory to itself. Eternity has no beginning, so if He has been God from eternity, then He could not have a beginning as God. Eternity has no reference to time, so if He was begotten "this day," then it was done in time and not in eternity.
Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.

......... THE ELECTION, THE TURNING POINT AND YOU
Tuesday, October 1, 2024
Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission...
Messiah told us that we are the light of the world. Lights are not passive. They are active agents, affecting, impacting, transforming their surroundings. We are all and each to affect, impact, and transform the world and people around us in every realm. That includes the political realm. We don't put our faith in it - rather it is a mission field we are to impact. As we approach an election that will determine the future of America, we don't have option of sitting it out, and not caring enough to cast our vote.
The platforms and causes of the two major parties are not the same, or even similar, but in many ways diametrically opposed - and on key and central issues given great importance in the word of God. On the issue of life, one party believes that we should have the right to kill unborn children up to the time of birth. The other party believes that life is sacred and must be protected. On the issue of mutilating children by surgical gender alteration, one party believes this is a good thing to be encouraged - the other, that no child should be surgically altered. On the issue of religious freedom, one party believes that Christian organizations should be forced to support abortion and homosexuality against their conscience. The other party believes that no one should be so forced. On Israel, one party is divided, about half increasingly hostile to the Jewish nation, the other party is overwhelmingly pro-Israel. And on and on and on.
The presidential candidate of one party, when she was a prosecutor in California, sought to prosecute and imprison a man who had exposed the abortion industry's selling of baby parts. She also sought to pass a law that forced pro-life pregnancy centers to refer those who walked through their doors, to abortion clinics. She has already stated that abortion (the killing of unborn children) is the core of her campaign.
If your vote helped to save one baby, it was all worth it. If your vote helped save one child from gender mutilation, it was worth it. If one person was saved because religious freedom was preserved, it was worth it. On the other hand, if one baby perished, one child went under the knife, and one soul was lost because we didn't vote, woe is us!
If you haven't registered, register. Cast your vote. And most importantly, pray for all the more fervently for revival, and choose revival by living in it. For without God and revival, America will be lost. For look to one above all others, Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah, the light of our lives, and America's only hope! And May God greatly bless you this month as you do!
Your brother and co-laborer
in His love and service,
Jonathan

I agree wholeheartedly in the above statements of Jonathan Cahn. You won't find anyone more anti abortion than I am.
"...Messiah told us that we are the light of the world. Lights are not passive. They are active agents, affecting, impacting, transforming their surroundings. We are all and each to affect, impact, and transform the world and people around us in every realm. That includes the political realm. We don't put our faith in it - rather it is a mission field we are to impact. ..."
Truth, truth, truth !!
Good Morning. God Bless All Here Today.

I recently got home from a doctors appointment, early this morning. I'm so sick of doctors I could scream.
I go back on the 4th....... As I grow older? The visits become more frequent. Be careful. They are human and can make mistakes also.
Good morning. Started work an hour earlier than normal, so I'm just now checking in. I hope you all have a great October 1st!
