https://ourlongview.blogspot.com/2015/08/no-oats-oops-i-mean-oaths.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. Oops, I mean Oaths). 8220;You have heard it was said…But I say to you…” In recent weeks we have been challenged by Jesus’ counter-cultural teachings about the heart of God's law in areas where the spirit of the law was being violated by a merely external righteousness. Tough subjects like. Anger Insults and Murder. Divorce and its results. This week we examined why Jesus’ said, “Do not take an oath at all.” in Matthew 5:33-37. 8220;Again you have heard. Have sworn.’. Or by Jerus...

Tuesday, March 10, 2015. Heaven Come to Earth and Earth Come to Heaven.

Your will be done,. On earth as it is in heaven.”. Waiting for dawn in Jerusalem. We pray “your kingdom come, your will be done. 65279;᥿...65279;ʌ...

Our Long View: June 2015
https://ourlongview.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. This blog is also posted at http:/ compelled2.blogspot.com/. And was written as an assigned response to Paul Louis Metzger’s post,. Blessed Are the Happy in Jesus, not Tortured, Cheated or Diseased Souls. So what is a beatitude? Simply put, beatitude is a term we use for a statement of blessedness. In the New Testament, when we read such declarative statements as “Blessed is/ are…” that are beatitudes. The name comes from the Latin word beatus. So is it "Blessed", or "Happy"?

Tuesday, August 25, 2015. Loving Your Enemies…Kick It Up a Notch. In the last post. We saw that when faced with persecution disciples who follow Jesus are called to:. Respond to others better than. Than they try to take. Than they can demand. Than they actually expect. Jesus did all four of these things for us… And he did them out of His love for us. This is a thought that we need to keep in mind as we wrestle with applying Jesus words here in Matthew 5: 43-48 on love, greeting, and common grace. There i...

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Not By Bread Alone. This week we took time to consider Matthew 4:1-11 which is the account of the early temptations of Jesus (as opposed to the idea that it was his only time of temptation). Immediately after his baptism, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the Judean wilderness to face a test. He fasted for 40 days and nights, alone except for the devil tempting him, and he was hungry! 8220;Turn Stones to Bread”—. A temptation to self-satisfaction. But he answered,. And surely h...
