TRY NOT TO PERISH IN 2016!

-







There is always room for improvement

in my life. In 2016 I want to delve more

into inductive Bible Study. This type of

study requires you to set aside ample

time read and decipher scripture concepts.



I have been studying the word perish in the Bible. It can mean, to be destroyed 
or come to nothing.  I read that various people perished because of their behavior. Some of them were wicked, disobedient and told lies.



Today I’ll share some scriptures which discussed the demise of wicked people. 

 


LIFE LESSON:



WICKED PEOPLE  PERISHED





PSALM 1:6



For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly
shall perish.



PSALM 37:20



But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the Lord, Like the splendor
of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away.
 

PROVERBS 11:7

When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes.

JEREMIAH 5: 26 & 29



26 ‘For among My people are found
wicked men;They lie in wait as one
who sets snares; They set a trap;
They catch men.

29 Shall I not punish them for these things?’ says the Lord. ‘Shall I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?’


  
MALACHI 1:4


Thus says the Lord of hosts:
They may build, but I will throw 
down; They shall be called the 
Territory of Wickedness, And the
people against whom the Lord will 
have indignation forever

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
