Infants and toddlers intuitively find it distressing to have their care relegated to an institutional day-care center, even one run in the most benevolent fashion possible. Children younger than school age are simply not emotionally prepared to participate in an institutional setting; the design of God is that a child be raised by a hands-on parent that can devote his or her, generally her, primary attention to the child when attention is needed. That is why mothers have attached breasts to feed infants and comfort children.

Blacks in the USA have bought into the efforts to reduce the Black population through birth control and abortion, while in Egypt, the Israelite midwives rejected the commandment of the Pharaoh to kill their own.

It requires a great deal of personal discipline and a close relationship with God to overcome the temptation of the free love generation. And Israel proved not to have the discipline.

God offers us Heaven as a free gift through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Let us not arrogantly reject Jesus as did the Jews, or ignorantly reject Jesus as did the Romans, but let us recognize the purpose and the prophecy of Jesus’ sacrifice and, in so doing, stay out of Hell.

Both John the Baptist and Jesus taught that every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire, regardless of their position in the church. So, the question is not; when your Heavenly Father asked you to go into the vineyard, did you tell Him that you would? The question is: when your Heavenly Father asked you to go into the vineyard, did you go?

Our entrance into Heaven does not depend upon how well we compare to other people, but how well we compare to the absolute standard of sinlessness. But God, in His wisdom, developed the sacrificial system, and Jesus Christ’s sacrifice satisfies the sentence of every single sinner. God will not condemn Christians regardless of what sin we commit, as long as we believe in Jesus Christ and do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

Rationality and logic, wisdom and knowledge are wonderful things to have, but you can have all of those things and still come to naught. But the attribute that is necessary to make rational thought profitable is love.

It doesn’t matter what kind of sinner you were, or how great your disbelief was before your conversion. Jesus is willing to provide you with the experience that will convince you of His deity, and then He is also willing to forgive your disbelief, because the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
