Prayer for the Month of May

-

Consolidating my prayers for the months of March and April, I came up with the following prayer concern for the month of May:

Help us live our lives with eternity in mind.

Help us to live in love, joy, holiness and power.

Let PTSCAS produce excellent, prayerful, joyful, holy, loving, powerful and productive missionaries, preachers, biblical counselors, theological educators, and Christian teachers, even chaplains and caregivers.

Help us return to our first love and help us love you Lord for the remaining short and final years of our lives here on earth.

Help us shepherd your people in love.

Forgive us for taking your love for granted.

Thank you that you are our closest Friend, our dearest Confidant, our heavenly Bridegroom.

Help us sleep early so that we can wake up early and invest in eternity by spending time with you in communion and intercession.

Help us to see the prison bars of our suffering as rubies and gold, as precious stones.

Thank you for helping us realize that both the existence of GAPCP and PTSCAS as the product of the many prayers of Christians in South Korea.

Help us to live in holiness for us to experience the power of joy in our daily walk.

Help us to always see the hopeful side in any desperate situation.

Make us singing Christians.

Help us lead people from gloom and doom to faith and hope.

Help us measure the fullness of the Holy Spirit in our lives by living in joy.

Guide and protect us Lord in the midst of various threats to life, property, and liberty: the pandemic, the growing power of the state, and the monetary system.

Help us to be mindful about the distinction between our conversation with people and our communication with you our God, the difference between the language that we use when we talk and teach people and the language we use in prayer. Help us shape or influence the former with the latter.

Help us to be specific and concrete in our prayer.

Help us realize that the words we say reflect who we really are wherever and whenever we are, at home, on social media, during our most unguarded moments, and especially when we speak of people who are absent.

Help us invest words of blessing in the life of others.

Forgive us for forgetting that you are listening as we grumble and complain.

Help us be gracious in our words.

If it is really true Lord that COVID-19 originated from the laboratory doing experiment on chemical and biological weapons, we do pray that there will be a global public inquiry led by independent scientists, lawyers, and investigators; followed by an international bio-warfare crimes court to bring the perpetrators to justice; and that nations should have an international treaty banning weapons of mass destruction including the use of chemical and biological such as viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms; and that finally all laboratories doing such experimentation will be shut down.

People of Wisdom (Proverbs 1)

-
"Wisdom cries  aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks" (Proverbs 1:20-21).  Reading verses like the above tells us that the kind of faith taught in the Bible is not something private. This is contrary to what most people think today saying that when you talk about the things of God or matters of religion, you should keep it personally either in your home or in your local church, or you just talk about it during Sunday.  The introductory chapter of the book of Proverbs tells us that wisdom calls in public space. This teaches us that the whole of society cannot escape the call of God. To ignore such call will certainly reap disastrous consequences.  How about if the people of God Himself who supposed to live such wisdom are the ones undermining it? We do this either by disconnecting our faith from our public lives or by consenting to the ruling social norms thinking t

The Special Duties of Husbands to their Wives

-
Fulfill your duties to your wife in order to avoid the following unhappy results: Failure of your wife to fulfill her duties towards you Such will cause you much affliction She will be bitter towards you in the end Summary of your Duties as Christian Husbands: You are responsible to undertake the government of your family including your wife. This ability consists: In holiness and spiritual wisdom. An ungodly, irreligious man is both a stranger and an enemy to the most important part of family-government. In due acquaintance with the works of your calling. He that is utterly unacquainted with the members of his family, will be very unfit to govern them. He must be acquainted both with the common temper and infirmities of mankind, that he may know how much is to be borne with, and also with the particular temper, and faults, and virtues of those whom he is to govern. And he must have prudence to give them direction in accomplishing their tasks; and justice to deal with every one as they

Ownership

-
The first chapter is all about ownership. By discussing this topic, the author starts with the doctrine of creation. For him, this doctrine separates his approach from all other approaches by other economists. By insisting on the importance of the doctrine of creation to economics, he argues that the universe, man, economic laws, and economic growth are not autonomous. The doctrine of creation establishes the idea of original ownership , which belongs to God alone as explicitly stated in Psalm 24:1–2 and many other biblical passages. And since it is God who created the world, He is therefore the original and absolute Owner of everything. The idea therefore of ownership is basically theocentric. This tells us that the economic concept of ownership is ultimately a theological idea. The concept of ownership cannot be properly understood apart from God as the ultimate Owner of all things. Providence is another corollary doctrine that cannot be separated from the doctrine of creation. Thi
