This psalm is an exceptional one about a sin: Pride. David wants to be humble instead of being proud and haughty. We should act and talk in humility but also be content. We should put our hope in the Lord, not ourselves. Psalms 132 - Of David.

But the author has thanked the Lord for His restoration. The author praises the Lord too.

 Hello! Today's topic is the entire Bible revised and simplified into a main big picture idea!  This is a short day since this is also the final day for this year (but next year is continuing, obviously) so there was some celebration. To put it simply, in the Old Testament, already at the very beginning, the Lord has promised Adam and Eve, who was fallen into sin, that one of their ancestors would win against evil and that people would be saved, but it would not be without sacrifice. Many Old Testament stories also point to the New Testament: The story of Noah's Ark points on how the righteous will stay (Noah and his family) but the wicked (The rest of the world) would be wiped out, for example. God's selection of certain people can be seen with his calling of Abraham and his descendants - Israel. After the Old Testament's events, there were four hundred years without any prophet or major divine deed. But then, John the Baptist called people to repent, making the way fo...

 Hello! Today's sunday school sermon was a revision of the New Testament in a game form. Today's topic is a bit short. This is what the theme of the New Testament is, shortly:  "How Jesus fulfills the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament.". And He certainly did! The New Testament has many quotes from the Old Testament - more than two hundred times, in the books of the prophets they had mentioned Jesus' coming - in Isaiah 9:6, for example, it talks about Jesus. In Isaiah 53:5, it predicts His death and suffering for the sins of others. This is the largest picture to describe the New Testament. This general theme shows us that God is faithful and all his promises are never "a chance to happen", but guranteed. Though this was the most general answer, my answer (because we were asked to answer before being shown the answer) was: "The New Testament is all about Jesus, his life, works, and achievements, - that is, saving us by dying on the cross, ...

 Hello! This is a summary of church history from Jesus until now, and this will be a fusion post of both history and religion. So Church History begins with Jesus' death and ascension by circa 33 AD. His apostles during the Pentecost gain the abillity to speak in foreign languages and they are called to preach and spread Jesus to the world. They begin doing this and they go to all directions to spread the Gospel. Some went to Egypt, some to Armenia, some to Asia Minor (Turkey), some to Assyria and Persia, and some even as far as India. The most influential direction of gospel spread was to Europe, Greece and Turkey. John, Philip, Andrew, Paul and Peter all went this direction. In Paul's journeys, he went to Greece (the cities of Philippi, Colossae, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus) and to Italy (Rome). The first European to hear and convert was Lydia. Paul then was beheaded. Peter's journey started in Jerusalem, north to Antioch, then Ephesus and Corinth, then ...

 Hello! A few days ago, one night I wrote a booklet called The Grace of God. Yesterday, I wrote it digitally and extended it, and this is the extended digitalized version: The Grace of God - Extended, Digitalized We see ourselves with too much righteousness. And I do too - badly. We uplift ourself and ignore our sins and point to others'. In actuality, however, we are not like this. We cannot see ourselves in righteousness, for we are rebellious. And here is why: The Lord has gave us His Son Jesus to be born a human, live a human life, and die just for others' wrongdoings. The Lord has given us many gifts to remember Him and praise Him, such as the Holy Spirit and the Church. The Lord should have already destroyed us from the beginning when we sinned, but instead, He had a plan of redemption of amazing grace beyond measure. And yet, we do what He despises. We always act accordingly to what He hates and has clearly warned us against. Imagine being given so much by somebody j...

 Hello! This is the second version of the Bible: Summarized, where I have already posted the first part (The Old Testament - Summarized), and now is the New Testament summarized. We will go book by book.  Group 1 - THE GOSPELS The Gospels are four books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) about Jesus' birth, life, ministry, and death. We will cover the main flow of every gospel and then the attributes of each one. Two of the gospels (Matthew, Luke) cover the birth of Jesus (or John the Baptist first, for Luke). The Nativity story is quite well known, but here's a fact about it - three wise men did not visit Jesus, as we do not know the number of wise men, as the Bible never states the amount. After Jesus was born, King Herod wanted to kill him but He escaped to Egypt. After that, according to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus was shown to Simeon and Anna, who were faithful Jews who waited for the Messiah to come. Also in Luke (a lot of Jesus' early life is in Luke), he was left in the temp...
