Good Angels


 Created by God as His “messengers”

The term angel refers to beings God created, and there are over 300 references to them in the Bible. There are “good” angels – God’s messengers – and “fallen” angels. The “fallen” kind, serve Satan and are at actively at work in the world. Ghosts, goblins, zombies and monsters are references to the work of Satan, and as Christians we should not idolize these dark creatures for any reason. Encouraging our children to “trick or treat” is a practice of Satan’s world and serves only his evil purpose. Considering a day or an evening dedicated to this evil force harmless or much less fun, in my opinion, is giving Satan recognition he does not deserve.

I know, many will say this is being fanatical or too religious. However, I do not see any “good” reason for celebrating acts of devil-worship, references to murder, torture, decaying corpses or ghost houses as anything we should honor even for one day a year! Enough said.

Angels are mentioned throughout the Holy Bible and are referred to as God’s messengers protecting God’s chosen people. They bring messages from God. They did to Jacob (Genesis 32:1): Daniel (Daniel 6:22): Moses and the children of Israel (Numbers 20:16): Zacharias, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds (Matthew 1; Luke 1: 2); and Philip (Acts 8:26), to mention but a few of their appearances. It was angels that rolled back the stone on Christ’s empty tomb.

Angels glorify God! This is worth celebrating and is a good teaching for our children. It will be angels who will accompany Christ when He returns to earth to set up His kingdom. (Matthew 25:31) says, “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.”

Happy “Glorious” Day! Think Jesus this October 31st.

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
