Are you living with difficult people, or are you a difficult person? God had a lot to say about His experience of working with people who were – qasheh meh od – stubborn, unteachable, or stiff-necked as the old english translates the Hebrew. So what advice does God offer on how to deal with these difficult people? And why does he want us, as Ambassador’s of Christ, to adopt this approach? The bible has the answers, and we would do well to listen. View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

In a world of competing interests, values, and visions how can we restore family unity? Christ spoke to the situation in his time and the tensions within the community and families due to sectarian discord. He concluded that a house divided would not be able to stand, and history bears witness to the resultant disaster for the Jewish community. In our day the situation is equally divisive, and unless we take active steps to counter the effects of the spirit of our time we too will not experience the peace in our families that God intended.

We call the great spiritual Lifegiver, "Our Father," and when we look into the origin of the words, Father and Family, we can begin to understand the Father's love for us and our divine purpose. The apostle Paul, writing in Greek, made an immediate connection between Pater and Patria, father and family. John wrote of the agape, divine love, that the Father and His son have for all those who walk in the truth, those who are of His lineage and are committed to bearing His likeness - His family.

The scriptures, though written millennia ago, offer us solid advice on how to face life's challenges. Consider the wisdom that Paul offered Titus on the roles of men and women in marriage — advice that has stood the test of time. Or delve into Luke's story of Jesus and what it means to be 'submissive' in our relationships. Our world has largely forsaken the sound counsel that Paul gave to the Ephesians about husbands and wives willingly assuming and fulfilling their God-ordained roles in the family in accordance with God's plan. But we can take up this challenge! We can mindfully put off our carnal nature and put on the mind of God so we can grow in spiritual maturity and do the good work God wants us to do in our families. Marriage is a complex and profound relationship. So it is no wonder that God speaks through his Word to give us insight into this most meaningful of relationships. So how are we doing in our marriage? Or if you are hoping to marry, what type of person do you need to become? The apostles Peter and Paul provide a good checklist of characteristics that would help us in this important task of self-reflection. God is working in us to achieve his purpose, so are we putting in the effort we need to in our families to actively walk together with Christ? Are we divorce-proofing our marriage by building each other up and living in harmony while consciously submitting to God's plan for our lives?

Wise parents know that as children mature they should be given responsibilities in the family to help them feel a part of the family enterprise. By having family goals and a sense of purpose that incorporates a family’s children in the purpose of achieving those goals, a child’s feeling of belonging to the family increases and that his or her life has meaning and that his or her efforts are valued. Even mere employees of a corporate enterprise work best and most faithfully when their loyalty and hard work is appreciated by their employer who values their contributions and who shows appreciation for the efforts of their employees. As family members or merely as employees whenever we are given new responsibilities and our efforts are rewarded with appropriate respect and praise—we feel significant! And this feeling of significance motivates us to accept our given tasks and to seek ever greater service roles, so that we can contribute more to accomplishing the mission of our family or our work place. But such a building of a family or a business takes insight and proactive action to encourage everyone to do their best in their service. We know this sound, proven practice to be a physical reality, but it is also a spiritual reality. As members of the Creator God’s family, we have a mission. And our God is developing his ‘koinonia’—His fellowship—to help Him fulfill His mission. And in serving our Creator’s purpose we find significance as His children in knowing that God appreciates our work. Listen and learn more about finding significance in service to God.

Children of God - Imitating the Father How do children learn? In early life patterns of thought and behaviour are learned through imitation. Children learn to sound and act like those who care for them. Spiritually speaking we are to follow this same pattern of development by imitating Christ — doing what he did. His life was an example, a model for us to admire and emulate. As our Messiah, Jesus came to honour his Father by serving his brethren and teaching as he had been taught. He came to model the attitudes and actions that would lead to abundant life. Sometimes his example was in direct contradiction to the attitudes of his era. Jesus’ approach to children, Gentiles, and the law of God was radically different from the normative societal practices. Are we following the Father’s teachings by imitating Christ in our attitudes and actions? http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/

As children of God we are part of a family with God as our Father and many brothers and sisters. To maintain strong family ties and build close relationships, Jesus provided us the key. He instructed his disciples, his followers, to love others in the same way that he had loved them. This is a tall order! And yet it is vital to maintaining the bonds that bind families and church brethren together. So how do we love one another? And what is love, agape, as defined by the God whose defining characteristic is love? Jesus’ parable of the servants who owed a debt gives us insight into one of love’s chief characteristics. James' metaphor about the tongue and how we speak to and about others highlights another aspect of love. Paul’s instructions to the Romans provides us with a broad summary of God’s application of the qualities of love. Join us in this journey through the scriptures to understand how we can enhance our love of others in practical ways, in order to build up our family relationships. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/

The Lord God claims his right as a father to his people. And he expects the honour that should be due him as a loving father who provides for his family. His example is the one that he calls all fathers to emulate. So what advice does he give to fathers when it comes to teaching and nurturing children in the way of the Lord? What approach and attitude should motivate fathers and what are the vital lessons they should be transmitting to their children. Join us for a journey through the scriptures that we might better understand our responsibilities as parents in preparing our children to meet life's challenges. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/

Marriage may have gone out of fashion in some circles, but living with reality instead of fantasy is important. And the reality is marriage was designed to be a 'safe harbour' from the vicissitudes of life. So is this your marriage? And if it is not, what can you do about it? An important principle to understand is that your marriage is a covenant, and it should reflect the same kind of covenant loyalty that you have with God. God is interested in faithfulness, and marriage is a training ground for this essential quality of character. God wants to help us live up to his expectations for marriage and he provides wise counsel to help us love and respect our marital partner. So let's delve into God's word to understand his advice for marriage, so it will become our safe harbour in a world that devalues what God holds dear. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/

In our presently chaotic and divisive world, fathers need to look to God our Father as the source of those teachings, values, and methods that will build strong families in spite of the negative social climate.Respectful obedience to honourable parents formed the cornerstone in many harmonious, prosperous communities and the foundation of enduring societies.The importance of honouring father and mother was embedded from the beginning in God's divine directives.

What Children Need What does the seventh commandment in God’s law have to do with family stability? Ask many a teacher who has had a few decades of classroom experience in a public setting and they will tell you that children are often bitter, angry, resentful, or anxious? Why? For too many children divorce has upset their dreams, and undermined the stability of their home-life. So they bring their angst to school with them and act out their frustrations. This was not the case decades ago, when divorce was often avoided if only for “the sake of the children.” But with changing attitudes towards sexuality, and marriage, divorce has gone from rare to commonplace. And the fruits of this dramatic shift in societal norms are being witnessed daily in the classroom. So what does God have to say about family?

Honour Your Mother God placed great value on the mothers in Israel, as He realized the vital role that they played in the life of the nation. In establishing the ten commandments as the constitution of the nation, God put the commandment to honour mother and father as the central link between loving God and loving others. God chose Mary, as mother to Jesus, and her role was vital in Jesus preparation as the Messiah. Are we honouring our mother’s as God intends?

Leaders in Times of Trouble There was a time of great calamity in the history of the people of Israel. They had suffered for twenty years under the cruel hand of Jabin of Hazor their enemy. They needed wise and dedicated leadership to lead them out of their troubles. And the best man for this job was a woman. God had chosen Deborah to lead his people as their judge, one who was governor, as well as, legal decision-maker and arbiter. In this dangerous time when settlements had ceased and foreign forces were invading, God chose a mother in Israel to encourage Barak, her military leader. God spoke to Deborah urging her to gather the people to cast off their oppressors. And in the end, God blessed the efforts of Deborah’s small ill-equipped army of volunteers in their fight against a much superior force of chariots and well-armed soldiers. Mothers of faith can make all the difference. View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

By Whose Authority? The Everliving One is the Sovereign who gave a command about honouring your mother. He is the Lord God who sets the standard of right and wrong, and established the family relationship. When the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob cried out to God, the I AM, he delivered them from slavery in Egypt. Then he rehearsed with them those standards of conduct that he promised would bring liberty to those who followed them faithfully. Honouring your mother was one of those fundamental principles in God’s law of liberty. View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.
