FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE PERFECT LAW OF A PERFECT GOD vs THE IMPERFECT LAWS OF IMPERFECT MAN
“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Psalms.19:7, KJV.
“The laws which God have His ancient people were wiser, better, and more humane than those of the most civilized nations of the earth. The laws of nations bear the marks of infirmities and passions of the unrenewed [unconverted] heart]; but God’s law bears the stamp of the divine.

THE BURDEN OF THE LAST MESSAGE STILL MINGLED WITH MERCY TO THE WORLD
“All His commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness.” Psalms 111:7,8 KJV.
When the laws of man, themselves blatant breakers of God’s law or even lawless or “a law to themselves,” enact laws and enforce them, the “fruit” or the result is only as good, reliable, truthful, lasting and righteous as the “trees” that bore them or from where they were plucked or fell from.

JESUS MAGNIFIED HIS LAW & MADE IT HONORABLE: HOW ABOUT THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS? See Isa 42:21
“Many religious teachers assert [who claim ‘the Bible and the Bible only’ as the basis of faith] assert that Christ by His death abolished the law, and men are henceforth free from its requirements. There are some [multitudes by now] who represent it as a ‘grievous yoke’; and in contrast to the ‘bondage of the law,’ they present the ‘liberty’ to be enjoyed under the gospel.
“But NOT SO did the prophets and apostles regard the holy law of God. Said David, ‘I will walk at liberty: for I seek Thy precepts.’Ps.119:45. The apostle James who wrote AFTER the death of Christ, refers to the Decalogue as the ‘royal law’ [Law of the King and His kingdom]’ and the ‘perfect law of liberty.’ James 2:8; 1:25.

TASTE TEST TO TRUST
“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” Ps.34:8.
As they say, “the proof of the pie is in eating.” So with the Bible truth. “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul… SWEETER than the honey and the honeycomb,”wrote the psalmist.
“How shall we know for ourselves God’s goodness and His love? The psalmist tells us—not, hear and know, read and know; but—‘TASTE and see that the Lord is good.’ Instead of relying upon the word of another, taste for yourself.”

Thank God for Blending Divine Nature with Human Nature Forever!
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels [both evil and good], preached among the Gentiles [and the chosen people] believed on in the world, received up in glory [as a Victor over Satan, temptation, death, and the grave].”
1 Tim. 3: 16.
This Thanksgiving 2019 we should thank and praise God “with all our heart, soul, strength and mind” (Luke 10: 27) for patiently, gradually and progressively unfolding to the astonished eyes of earnest truth-seekers the great mystery of godliness that is revealed in the Creator’s incarnation! Ever after that priceless, precious, precise moment in time that no finite mind exactly knows when and how, humanity quietly and effortlessly blended with divinity for eternity!

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
Our Father in heaven, the Great Gift-giver of “every good and perfect gift,” answers our prayer requests oftentimes not in a big, dramatic miraculous package but in little packages, delivered daily at our doorsteps that we may be trained to develop to perfection gratitude and praise from the heart and lips— two of the noblest attributes of the saints of the last days.
We all should unlearn the unlovely and unsaintly tendency and habit of carelessly taking for granted the “little” gifts, talents and opportunities. “He who is faithful in the least will be faithful in much.” There is no such thing as a “small” or a “little sin here and there.”

The Humanity of Christ: What was It? (Continued from last week)
No. 6: The Indispensable Role of the Holy Spirit
“The Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the only-begotten Son of God, binds the human agent, body, soul, and spirit, to the perfect, divine-human nature of Christ.”
How many church creeds specifically declare that it is the Holy Spirit that binds the true believer, i.e., body, mind, soul and spirit to the perfect divine-human nature of Christ? How many of those still debating this issue will give this saving truth the attention it fully deserves and bring it into their discussions? Into their set of beliefs? Into their moral character-building?

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FIVE Part II
Five are Foolish, Five Wise of the Ten Virgins – Part 2
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
And he is oft the wisest man,
Who is not wise at all.
William Wordsworth, The Oak and the Broom
————
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. See Matthew 25: 1-13.
“Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly;
