To Keep the Faith, we must go to Battle

1 Timothy 1:18-19 [18] Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, [19] holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. ----------------------------------------------------- 1 Timothy 6:12 [12] Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ----------------------------------------------------- Click HERE for the right equipment Click HERE for the right trinkets Click HERE for the right incantations ----------------------------------------------------- Keep calm, keep the Faith, and best regards, Bro.

Disparity

Judges 7:1-5 [1] Early in the morning, Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) and all his men camped at the spring of Harod. The camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh. [2] The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.’ [3] Now announce to the army, ‘Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained. [4] But the Lord said to Gideon, “There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.” [5] So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the Lord told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” ----------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best re

The Truth about Work

Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 [5] There is an evil I have seen under the sun,     the sort of error that arises from a ruler: [6] Fools are put in many high positions,     while the rich occupy the low ones. [7] I have seen slaves on horseback,     while princes go on foot like slaves. -------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The True Christian / Catholic

1 Timothy 2:11-12 [11] A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. [12] I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. ---------------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Warning

Luke 21:8-11 [8] He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. [9] When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” [10] Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. [11] There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. ------------------------------ Be sorry for sins. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Sons of Father Abraham (What you need to know to be prepared..)

Galatians 4:21-25 [21] Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? [22] For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. [23] His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. [24] These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. [25] Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.  -------------------------------------- Genesis 25:12-15  ( 12 Tribes of Ishmael ) *** Ishmael (Hagar's son) is the half-brother of Isaac (Sarah's son), and both are sons of Abraham [12] This is the account of the descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael. He was the son of Sarah’s Egyptian slave Hagar and Abraham. [13] These are

The Truth about the Law

1 Timothy 1:8-11 [8] We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. [9] We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, [10] for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine [11] that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me. --------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

On Trusting

Isaiah 2:22 [22] Stop trusting in mere humans,     who have but a breath in their nostrils.     Why hold them in esteem? ----------------------------------- Psalm 118:8-10 [8] It is better to take refuge in the Lord     than to trust in humans. [9] It is better to take refuge in the Lord     than to trust in princes. [10] All the nations surrounded me,     but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. ----------------------------------- Additional reading on 'Trust': Close to You Trust I Seek ----------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

How to be an Elder

Titus 1:6-9 [6] An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. [7] Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. [8] Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. [9] He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. --------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Pretension

Proverbs 13:7 [7] One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;     another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. --------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Tattoo

Leviticus 19:28  ( Old Testament ) [28] “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord. ---------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Quid Pro Quo

Mark 6:22-24 [22] When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” [23] And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.” [24] She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptist,” she answered. ----------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

When there was no other way to make one believe

Judges 3:20-22 [20] Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose from his seat, [21] Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. [22] Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. ------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

A Quiet Life

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 [11] and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, [12] so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. ------------------------------ God bless.

White Lie

Genesis 26:6-7 [6] So Isaac stayed in Gerar. [7] When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful.” ----------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

You know about the Armor of God, but do you know about the Sword of God?

Isaiah 34:6-7 [6] The sword of the Lord is bathed in blood,     it is covered with fat— the blood of lambs and goats,     fat from the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah     and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. [7] And the wild oxen will fall with them,     the bull calves and the great bulls. Their land will be drenched with blood,     and the dust will be soaked with fat. -------------------------------- Jeremiah 46:10 [10] But that day belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—     a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes. The sword will devour till it is satisfied,     till it has quenched its thirst with blood. For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice     in the land of the north by the River Euphrates. -------------------------------- Ezekiel 21:8-11 [8] The word of the Lord came to me: [9] “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “‘A sword, a sword,     sharpened and polished— [10] sharpened for the slaughter,     poli

The Proud

Proverbs 16:5 [5] The Lord detests all the proud of heart.     Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. --------------------------------- Proverbs 16:19 [19] Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed     than to share plunder with the proud. --------------------------------- God's will.

Happy Easter: How was it like before the Lord Jesus' time

Originally posted on April 10, 2021 If it were not for the Lord Yeshua's arrival... -------------------------------------- Deuteronomy 21:18-21 [18] If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, [19] his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. [20] They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” [21] Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid. -------------------------------------- God's will. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Lord Jesus saved us from the Wrath of God

Romans 5:6-9 [6] You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. [7] Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. [8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! ---------------------------------- God's will. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs P.S. - Read: How a day of the Lord is like  ( how God shows His wrath )

The Sons of Thunder

Luke 9:51-55 [51] As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. [52] And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; [53] but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. [54] When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” [55] But Jesus turned and rebuked them. ------------------------------------- God's will. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs P.S. - I had made a song dedicated to the Sons of Thunder ...

When to hate

Psalm 139:21-22 [21] Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,     and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? [22] I have nothing but hatred for them;     I count them my enemies. ----------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

On Equality

( Old Testament )  Sirach 32:9 [9] Among the great do not act as their equal;     and when another is speaking, do not babble. -------------------------------------- ( New Testament ) 2 Corinthians 8:14-15 [14] At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, [15] as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” -------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Purpose of the Crucifix

Numbers 21:8-9 [8] The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” [9] So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. ---------------------------------------- John 3:14-15 [14] Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, [15] that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” ---------------------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The spirit of the antichrist

1 John 4:3 [3] but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. ------------------------------------- P.S. - Revealing the antichrist Keep the Faith.

When the Lord our God is not that angry

Ezekiel 4:14-15 [14] Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign Lord! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.” [15] “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.” ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

On Sorrow

Ecclesiastes 7:3  ( Old Testament ) [3] Frustration is better than laughter,     because a sad face is good for the heart. ---------------------------------- James 4:9-10  ( New Testament ) [9] Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. [10] Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Sword of the Lord

Isaiah 66:15-16 [15] See, the Lord is coming with fire,     and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury,     and his rebuke with flames of fire. [16] For with fire and with his sword     the Lord will execute judgment on all people,     and many will be those slain by the Lord. --------------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

When to Keep Quiet

Amos 5:12-13 [12] For I know how many are your offenses     and how great your sins. There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes     and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. [13] Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times,     for the times are evil. ----------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Relationship Between the Rich and the Poor

Rontabs

The Forgiven

2 Corinthians 2:10-11 [10] Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, [11] in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. -------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

What the Lord our God loves and what He grants to those He love

What God loves - 2 Corinthians 9:7 [7] Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. What God grants when He loves you - Psalm 127:1-2 [1] Unless the Lord builds the house,     the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city,     the guards stand watch in vain. [2] In vain you rise early     and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—     for he grants sleep to those he loves. ----------------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Bound by Disobedience

Romans 11:30-32 [30] Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, [31] so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. [32] For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. ------------------------------------ God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Relationship Between Humans and Angels

1 Corinthians 6:2-3 [2] Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

They have wings, but will we ever know?

Isaiah 18:1-2 [1] Woe to the land of whirring wings     along the rivers of Cush, [2] which sends envoys by sea     in papyrus boats over the water. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned,     to a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech,     whose land is divided by rivers. ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro.

[17] Do not be a terror to me;     you are my refuge in the day of disaster. [18] Let my persecutors be put to shame,     but keep me from shame; let them be terrified,     but keep me from terror. Bring on them the day of disaster;     destroy them with double destruction. ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Members of our Families

1 Timothy 5:1-8 [1] Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, [2] older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. [3] Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. [4] But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. [5] The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. [6] But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. [7] Give the people these instructions, so that no one may be open to blame. [8] Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. -------------------------------------------- God bless and best r
