[size=18pt]Words Without Meaning[/size]

"And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."1

After Jesus said these words He went on to say, "This, then, is how you should pray…" and He taught them the Lord's prayer—a prayer that has only 66 words!

I have read that the Gettysburg Address has only 286 words. The Declaration of Independence has 1,322 and the government regulations on the sale of cabbage has 26,911 words!

The point that Jesus is making (when we pray) is that we need to get to the point—and not use empty, vain repetitious words that come only from the top of our head and not from the heart.

It's the meaning of the heart that God wants to hear—which, of course, is the heart of all meaningful, intimate communications—with God or man. As the simple ditty expresses it:

I often say my prayers,
But do I really pray,
And does the meaning of my heart
Go with the words I say.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, help me when I pray to share with You what my heart is saying and what I am truly feeling—good or bad—and in so doing be ruthlessly honest with myself and with You. Always. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Jesus (Matthew 6:7-8, NIV).

[size=18pt]Failure Is Never Final[/size]

"I will never leave you, nor forsake you."1

Back in 1929 Georgia Tech played the University of California in the annual Rose Bowl football game. In that game a man named Roy Riegels recovered a fumble for California. Unfortunately he became confused and began running the wrong way. One of his teammates, Benny Lom, overtook and tackled him just before he scored for the opposing team.

This was during the first half. Everyone was wondering what Coach Nibbs Price would do with Roy Riegels in the second half. During the half-time break Riegels sat alone in a corner, wrapped a blanket around his shoulders, put his hands in his face and cried like a baby.

Three minutes before the start of the second half Coach Price looked at the team and said, "Men, the same team that played the first half will start the second."

Riegels never moved. The coach called him and again he never moved. Coach Price went over to where Riegels sat and said, "Roy, didn't you hear me? The same team that played the first half will start the second."

Reigels said, "Coach, I can't do it to save my life. I've ruined you. I've ruined the University of California. I've ruined myself. I couldn't face that crowd in the stadium to save my life."

Then Coach Price reached out and put his hand on Riegels' shoulder and said, "Roy, get up and go on back, the game is only half over."

Roy Reigels went back. Those Tech men will tell you they have never seen a man play football as Roy Riegels played that second half.

And isn't that what God does for you and me? Time and again we blow it. We fail. We mess things up. We feel like such a failure. But Jesus is always there. He places a hand on our shoulder and says, "Get up. Don't quit. I am with you. You are forgiven. I love you and I will never leave you or forsake you no matter what!"

Actually, if we were to translate Jesus' words literally, they would read, Jesus said, "I will never, never, never, never, never (five times over) leave you or forsake you," or "I will never, not ever, no never leave you or forsake you."

As the saying goes, the only real failure is not to get up one more time than we fall or get knocked down.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You that You love me and accept me just as I am—warts and, failures and all—and have forgiven me for all my sins and failures. I thank You that You will never leave me or forsake me. Please help me to learn and grow through all my mistakes and failures, and little by little become the man/woman You planned for me to be. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Jesus (Hebrews 13:5).

I can see that u have been roaming around the Islam for Muslim section...
Did u bothered to check ur profile and see the Islamic creed on it?

Herald9,

You once said Yahweh is a misogynist because he has no female angel.

Do you mind telling me the gender of lucifer?

FrancisTony:

I didn't call him that because he's no female angels...
But that should be among the reasons.


When you say Lucifer what picture comes into your mind?

Your guess is as good as mine

Jesus and his dad wouldn't have spent thousand of years plotting how to defeat a woman!

Do you think lucifer is a woman from the description of angels? Angels that impregnated women?

Lucifer is sexless. Same as all angels. You don't have to assign any gender.

90% of human being mind is configured that Lucifer is black but hell "NO". Unknown racial features.
Atheist always use it as a stepping stone while arguing saying that God is white while Satan is black thereby, God is a racist.

At last line, God ne'er fought Lucifer because of gender but Power.

You gerrit?

JackBizzle:

Was Lucifer among them.

By the way, are you logicboy?

Herald9,

You're a chauvinist.

FrancisTony:

I am a muslim. Check my profile.


Lucifer is the dark prince/prince of darkness/king of the underworld. Women cant be princes

FrancisTony:

hmmmmm ...FranSissy.. one day you'll break your neck for jumping into conclusion...
Did you do a little research before concluding this?

Here are my evidences:

-Every reference to angels in the Bible uses the pronoun 'he' and not 'she'

-When angels appear in human forms they usually take the male form

-All the names of angels in the Bible are exclusively males...Gabriel, Michael, etc

So Lucifer can't be any different...

I once told you that the Bible writers treated women as second class citizens... if the Bible was really inspired by God...

What idea do you have concerning the source of inspiration?

NB: The
Greek word for "angel" in the New Testament
is angelos, itself a masculine noun.

You said 90%...Maybe I'm among the 10% who doesn't have that crazy idea...

All them hosts of heaven are Jews!

At last line, God ne'er fought Lucifer because of gender but Power.

You gerrit?

Who could've proven to be a worthy opponent for God?

A woman?

Remember he was once an archangel... such a powerful position wouldn't have been handed down to a 'weakling'.

FrancisTony:
Herald9,

You're a chauvinist.

Hmmmm

This is where you're wrong.

I treat everyone with utmost respect... I'm not biased.

Why should I feel superior to a fellow human

I was only highlighting the characteristics of your Yahweh...

If I had expressed that in a wrong way...forgive me...but never call me that

I repeat once again, Satan is sexless without no gender.

I agree that angels take male form whenever they visit the earth.

Jesus took male form to manifest as a human, and it doesn't mean his heavenly form is masculine gender.

Male and female was created by God for procreation but it's otherwise in heaven.

No gender in heaven.

herald9:

Okay. I have heard.

But, you just called me 'Franksissy'?

You can have your own opinion but not your own facts...

I've given you facts and you're still struggling with your opinion

Don't tell me you've been to heaven before?

FrancisTony:

You're a Sissy but I'm no chauvinist

Female Angels

Zecharaih 5:9

Then, I looked up and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings.


Heavenly being is sexless

Matthew 22:30

There will be no marriage in heaven because we will be like angels in heaven.

herald9:

You're a Sissy but I'm no chauvinist

I'm sure truth hurts when it's being told by same gender.
Smh

FrancisTony:


Matthew 22:30

There will be no marriage in heaven because we will be like angels in heaven.

But jesus promised hundredfold of wives in heaven if you follow him.

Don't you read your bible

FrancisTony:

This is the only chapter in the whole Bible were a female angel is suggested...

And my conclusion is they transformed to females just to serve a purpose -that is transferring that woman... who was termed as 'wickedness' to Babylon.

(Seems they needed evil to carry evil-just thinking!)

Heavenly being is sexless

Nothing here negates or confirms the idea of
angels being masculine; all that this verse
teaches is that marriage does not take place
among angels. Angels are not human, so we should
not assume they live and function in the same
way humans do.

The Bible clearly presents
angels as males.Cause in the book of Job... the Bible said:

…When [size=20]the sons of God[/size]were gathered

Not sons and daughters.

Rilwayne001:

quote it.

FrancisTony:


quote it.

Matthew 19:29... And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Lool. They were male and transformed to female to serve a purpose? Do you mind proving it biblical?.

My bible proven fact is that Lucifer is sexless. He can be a male, female, snake etc

Who's the queen of babylon?

Bible never said Angels were male or female. They were using the gender angels used to manifest on earth to classify them.

ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION
Galatians3:26

For in christ you're son of God, through faith.

Does it mean that female genders are exclusive?

Rilwayne001:

Matthew 19:29... And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

I can't find wife/wives in your quote.

Rilwayne001,

he didn't say the hundredfolds would be received in heaven, or did he?

FrancisTony:

Hundred of wife = wives
