Third Verse: “Remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands,   that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one [Heaven and Earth], and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two [Jews and Gentiles], thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both [Jews and Gentiles] to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off [Gentiles] and to those who were near [Jews]. For through Him [Christ] we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 11-22).

Second Verse: “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.” (John 15:20-21)

First Verse: “Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32) – Continued

We continue our meditations on the word “Remember” in the New Testament.

This word repeated several times in the New Testament.

Some people ask me:

Occasionally, I receive questions from people regarding how to direct tithing contributions. Is it appropriate to give our tithing money to a needy relative? Or should we send it to the poor in Egypt? Can we contribute tithing money to Sunday school ministry, publishing material, or church construction? Is it important that we bring offering every time we walk into church as the scriptures command that we should not appear before Him empty-handed (Exodus 23:15, 34:20).

“If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.” (James 1:26) This verse reveals the danger of uncontrolled tongue. If a man doesn’t restraint his tongue, his whole spiritual live would come to ruins. His worship, ministry, and strive would be all in vain.
