To give kindness unconditionally is not only a way to bring light and joy into the life of someone else, it also brings light into the life
Do Not Forget The Cup Of Salvation The Jews of old had many strange customs, and if you check some of those customs you would be mistified as to the symbolism and meaning underlying the customs. Because they were a spiritual people many of the customs had to do with worship, and their relationship to God. It might seem to be rather quaint now, but things like wearing of small leather phylacteries on arms or heads, the fixing of Mezuzahs, small parchment scrolls, on doorposts in the house, the burning
measure by which we give is the same measure by which we receive. If we give by the cupful, we are able to receive by the cupful. Remember what the Psalmist realized: my cup runneth over. The cup of our giving is the cup of our acceptance; and it is always over-flowing.

I don’t think it was a bad thing for Everyman either. It gave him time to reevaluate what he was doing wrong in his life and it gave him the chance to get to know Jesus as his savior.

The background of Psalm 23 from both the chronological and the traditional viewpoints permit one to observe the activities within Psalm 23. However, the most comprehensive approach to completely understand Psalm 23 is to examine it expositionally. The intention for this section of the paper is to present an expositional examination of Psalm 23, which will finally provide adequate evidence for arriving at a conclusion that proves the LORD is the only necessity in an individual’s life due to the character

Instead of asking God for forgiveness for what I deemed unforgivable sins, I figured in my own mind, that since I was going to Hell, I might as well continue to sin.
