We as humans are gifted with the fact that we are so short sighted and are seldom not in awe when things happen to us that may be out of the ordinary routine, whether for good or bad. Blind sided though we are we also demonstrate remarkable resiliance. I am part of that resiliance and am here to help, through my writings and through discussions with the reader. So sit back, buckle your seat belts, and enjoy the ride.

There are no Jew, Greeks, ect. Part 19
God makes His church. Haggai 2:4-9, says clearly, “Yet now be strong, oh Zerrubabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts. According to the word that I covenanted when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you; fear ye not. For thus saith the LORD of hosts; ye once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heaven, and the earth and the sea and the dry land: and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts; the silver is mine and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former, saith the LORD of hosts, and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” What this means is that there is something to replace the former place of worship, the former “house”. There is something that is coming and that is His Body the church. The glory is greater because it will be as in a marriage, the two shall become one, and those that comprise the church shall be one in Christ, one intent, one voice, one Spirit, one Baptism, one Faith as it says in Ephesians. And He will shake everything that moves because of the new way of seeing an old idea, a new angle on following, no longer will I be a slave to passions that possess me. But like leading people out of Egypt He will move me and lead me and never leave me. He loves me just that much. So it is His command that I be strong and stand tall in Him and that I shall be able to be in peace in His new place. He tells me to draw my boldness from His promise that He will never let me down because He has never let His people down. And that is encouraging.
