Election to Serve – Delicately (Overview)

Thursday, July 31st, 2014

Women have a special place in service industries–such as, restaurant service–because their souls were crafted to provide nutrition. When we say, provide nutrition, we are not speaking of obtaining food; for, that is the place that the LORD designated for the man.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:19)In large measure, the woman’s designated place is this: to take the sustenance that is brought to them, and to prepare it as a consumable, life enhancing addition to the kingdom of man. Please note that, the words, in large measure, allow for inclusion of certain men; such as, among the master chefs and military cooks, for instance. Yes, for the woman, this goes far beyond food stuffs. For the woman, she also spread her skills to this, the most publicly recognized place of service of the woman . . . which Adam declared, as follows, as he announced Eve . . .

Collateral Damage and the Heart of God (Growing Branches)

Monday, July 21st, 2014

By the use of the buds of prophecy, the LORD was moving the world closer to perfection, in God. This was being done in the LORD’S spoiling of the competing principles of the world. The method that was in operation was, and still is, as is declared here.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

(1 Corinthians 1:18-21)

On the other side of that disruption of mankind is this: the beneficence of the LORD. This beneficence is such that; in the battle to transform the world, many of our principles that compete with it will become collateral damage. Many of the impacts from the LORD will be unpleasant. To lessen the unpleasantness, we need to be ever mindful of the agency that is in the transformation. This is that agency.

kingdom of man (Out of the Void – Extended)

Thursday, July 10th, 2014

Back in time, when we started our adventure in extension from the void, we had to produce certain examples for the coming population of mankind. These examples could be either destructive or constructive. Fortunately for us, the destructive example was not given an enduring span; because, the LORD has no ordinance for repetitively destroying his Creation.

The LORD does have ordinances for repetitively–some may say, cyclically–constructing the layers of the kingdom of man. And, it seems just perfect that; the LORD uses human examples, to accomplish the construction, and, too, to remove us from the need of concentration only on ours. To pull us from that void, God set this human, Noah, as an ever enduring example in the history of the kingdom of man.

In Noah, as by the LORD, the kingdom of man was introduced to certain beneficial attributes of the constructive example type of entity. These attributes are the kind that we can emulate. One of those attributes is seen in the following Scripture.

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

(Genesis 6:7-10)

Also–as encased in a marvelous mix of, integrity, and, emphasis on world consideration–the LORD gave Noah a family mind. This is not the same as, biological capability to produce sons; which, we saw, above. The family mind is superlative to biological capability; as, it is the means of preservation of the biology of the family. In Noah, we see that in action, here.
