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.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

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...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
