Prov 26:20. Again with the quarrelling. Feed one, it continues to grow. Starve it, it ceases. Let's see, how would that go?---Feed a discussion, starve a quarrel. Best I leave the proverbs to to proverbial proverbers! But regardless, try this next time an argument starts with you and someone else. Quickly say, "Im sorry, you are right. Look! A puppy!" and then tell that person about how Jesus saved your life. Bet that will stop most quarrels!
Zech 10. I am not a history fanatic, so I have absolutely no idea if these promises God made to Zechariah actually came true. I know today, Judah, the Israelites, are small in number compared to the rest of the world. I am not sure how big they really became in history. What little I do know, in the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries, the Christian Crusades (a total of seven) were responsible for the 'growth' of God's people, but not necessarily "Jews". Some crusades were successful, some were not. However, I do not know of any large growth of the Jewish nation in all of history. Today, most certainly, the Jewish nation is very, very small in comparison. Likewise, true Christians are small in number compared to other religions. I hope God doesn't have to come back like He did to Jerusalem to once again grow Judah...what I DO hope for is that, if He comes back, is that He will grow Christianity through the current bunch of us, to masters of this world----wouldn't it be nice. If Christians were true Christians, we could do it with God's help from up above, and He wouldn't have to make another trip down here until He comes for the final time. Let's you and I start trying to be better Christians to help save this crazy world. Reply to this
