Over the years Psalm 91 has been fondly referred to as the foxhole Psalm, and for good reason. Through countless wars soldiers have turned to Psalm 91 for encouragement and comfort. Soldiers have recited it, prayed it, confessed it.
I often laugh at the naivete I see in the World, at how people walk through life believing all sorts of lies, even as we have reached levels of distrust unequaled in the history of man, I hear stories, and see situations that would seem ridiculous for anyone to believe, and yet people keep falling, and trusting, and believing. The thing is that most scams and tricks and situations of the sort, are designed to appeal to the deepest and darkest zones of our inner self, and they manage to turn on senses that we do not even realize...
Recall the haunting words of Proverbs 5:3-5: "For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: but her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell." Now it is natural to see this strange woman as merely flesh and blood-but this would be only the most base reading of the passage. A valid reading to be sure, but a far cry from the most grand intentions of the author.
Being Jewish and single is great if you enjoy the independence that comes with living in a city as a young adult.

Just as you get pissed off when men neglect you and abuse you, do you not think God deserves better treatment than we have given? We have offered misguided worship, worship without direction and full of the wrong roots. Think about it, how many times when you have offered the Creator such sacrifice.
The truth is the woman was made to complete the man, a man is only half a person without a woman. And God did not make woman from the foot of a man that He can step on her, or from the head that she could be superior, He made Her from His side, from his rib that they can be together, and see eye to eye.
We experience powerful opportunities for connection when people of differing faiths and cultural traditions come together for a marriage, birth, or death. Rather than be divided by differences, we can use the ceremonies for these occasions to foster memorable shared experiences. Here are FIVE TIPS for creating meaningful multicultural or multifaith ceremonies.
Losing the privilege of living in the Garden of Eden had a tremendous price for Adam and Eve. They now had to work for their living and could never enjoy the same carefree days that were typical for their existence in Paradise. Soon, Eve gave birth to two sons, Cain and Abel. The narrative of the Bible switches from their parents to them. Cain was the firstborn and became a farmer. Abel followed and he became a shepherd. They both offered God the fruit of their work.
The Bible speaks of two humans that were given the Garden of Eden as a gift by their Creator. God allowed them to enjoy anything but the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, Eve was one day convinced by a snake to disobey this divine interdiction and had a bite from the forbidden fruit. She offered a bite to Adam too and thus the first sin was committed. They realized they were naked and covered themselves. Hence, the days of peace came to an end.
The controversy of our origins starts with the creation of the parents of humankind, Adam and Eve respectively. The Bible says that, after giving birth to all nonliving and animal forms on Earth, God created a couple of humans, one male and one female. First was created the man from dust into whom God breathed life. His name, Adam, comes from a Hebrew term which means earth and indicates his provenience. Not immediately after, the Creator gave Adam a female companion, creating her out of one of his ribs, while he was asleep.
The Bible contains quite a few accounts of direct communication between God and humans. One of the blessed ones is Abraham, an important character in Genesis and especially in Jewish religion.

There are many different English translations of the Bible but there are only two different ways in which it is translated The Bible comes from a selection of manuscripts written over thousands of years. Some are very large and some are just fragments. They have been compiled by linguistic experts into a Bible based on the original languages (the Old Testament was written in Hebrew & Aramaic and the New Testament in Greek) into a document called the "Textus Receptus" or the "Received Text" from which our modern English versions are translated.
After seeing the divine side of the foundation, we surely cannot afford to overlook man's part in this spiritual equation! The right side says that every one that calls on the name of Christ should depart from iniquity, calling for a changed life on the part of every convert! Being a convert here means that someone has changed from being what he/she was before and taking up a new nature in Christ.
Many times we find ourselves in a situation where things just looked completely hopeless, and we look around to others for help and concern, but instead of getting what we want, we found out that the people we look up to are completely indifferent to our problems. The next thing we do is to ponder about the situation of the world today: why is everyone so selfish? Doesn't anyone care what happens in our lives at all?

God commended His love toward us, in the sense that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Now, when you rebel against God, He feels the hurt of your sin - just as you are hurt by the offense of someone you love. But God still wants you back to Him because He does not want any man to perish or suffer eternal damnation. He wants us to come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved.
