Matters


Do not twist justice in legal matters by favoring the poor or being partial to the rich and powerful. Always judge people fairly.

Give freely and spontaneously. Don't have a stingy heart. The way you handle matters like this triggers God, your God's, blessing in everything you do, all your work and ventures.

In the olden times in Israel, this is how they handled official business regarding matters of property and inheritance: a man would take off his shoe and give it to the other person. This was the same as an official seal or personal signature in Israel.

"If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?

the Holy Spirit has let me know repeatedly and clearly that there are hard times and imprisonment ahead. But that matters little. What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God.

Paul lived for two years in his rented house. He welcomed everyone who came to visit. He urgently presented all matters of the kingdom of God. He explained everything about Jesus Christ. His door was always open.

Leviticus 19:15 Deuteronomy 15:10 Ruth 4:7 Luke 12:26 Acts 20:22 Acts 28:30

A life lived for God will count for eternity.
