AMONG THE "MORE IMPORTANT THINGS":
SAFEGUARDING PEACE
VITAL QUALITIES FOR TRUE PEACE. Ephesians 4 contains much to contemplate, beginning with encouragement to "walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all humility and mildness, with patience [or, loyalty], putting up with one another in love, 3 earnestly endeavoring to maintain the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace." These qualities are vital to preserving the peaceful, loving spirit of the congregation of God. We need to have a humble view in dealing with one another, 'considering others superior to us,' refusing contentiousness or a fighting spirit with others whom we should be loving, doing nothing out of egotism, or arrogance, appreciating the good in others, most having qualities we could improve in. (Philippians 2:3). We should also deal with one another with a gentle, mild manner, sensitive to their feelings. Loyalty should also be shown, as we remain first and foremost loyal to God, showing loyalty to others by helping them become loyal to God themselves. Being peaceable, or a peacemaker, on the basis of love, seeking to forgive others freely, seeking peace especially with fellow Christians, is also vital to maintaining our Christian unity. Ephesians 4:25-26 (NIV) says "Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 'In your anger do not sin.' Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry"--thus try to be quick to restore peace, especially with fellow believers. And Romans 12:18 says "If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men." May we strive after such qualities and enjoy the blessings associated with such obedience to God.

AMONG THE "MORE IMPORTANT THINGS":
PROTECTING PURITY, REJECTING BADNESS
TREASURE PURITY OF HEART, USE CLEAN SPEECH. Ephesians 5:3 offers this encouragement regarding our choice of speech: "Let sexual immorality and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as is proper for holy people." By what we talk about, we can influence others, for good, or for bad. Continue giving consideration to God's word, the wisdom of Proverbs and Christ's teachings, including the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, to comprehend the value of God's standards, that we may come to love what is right, and hate all badness, which has a negative effect on humanity, carrying on selfishness and other sin. May we grow in love for God for his abundant goodness toward humans, knowing what we all need to be truly happy and to live in peace amidst one another.
REJECT IMMORALITY, GREEDINESS. Ephesians 5 reminds us, in verse 5, that we should not allow emotions from music or wrong thinking from TV shows or movies to affect our view of marriage or hinder true unselfish love in our hearts and obedience to the GOD who IS LOVE (1John 4:8). Verse 5 says: "For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person or unclean person or greedy person, which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God." Committing sexual immorality with another person risks not only your eternal life in God's Kingdom with a loyal marriage partner, but the everlasting life of the other person as well. Is that showing true love??? Look to God to help you prepare for marriage and find a good partner! Let's work to protect, or safeguard, the lives of others, rather than being a threat to them. Rescue the upright, as Proverbs 11:9 states: "By his mouth the apostate brings his neighbor to ruin, But by knowledge the upright are rescued." May we lovingly uphold God's standards in life, treating others with respect, doing what contributes to their eternal happiness, God's way! Also, if yet unmarried, channel your desires in the proper way, faithful to God. For instance, do you consider yourself really prepared for all the responsibilities that will come with the happy marriage you seek with a loyal partner? While not all will be fully prepared, relying on God for what's yet lacking, still let's use wisdom to realize or find out the more important things necessary for your contribution and preparation, with joy, looking forward to the rewards that will come for your faithful work with anticipation.

MATTERS OF CHRISTIAN UNITY
POWER OF BIBLE TRUTH. Colossians 1:6 acknowledges the power of the truth of God's purpose: "Just as the good news is bearing fruit and increasing in all the world, so it is also doing among you from the day you heard and accurately knew the undeserved kindness of God in truth." May we appreciate and continue growing in the "accurate knowledge" of Bible truth. Colossians 1:9,10 continues: "That is also why from the day we heard of it, we have never stopped praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the accurate knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual comprehension, 10 so as to walk worthily of Jehovah in order to please him fully as you go on bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the accurate knowledge of God."
BECOMING TRULY UNITED. Accordingly, we need the truth, accurate divine knowledge, about God that Christians may be truly united. 1Corinthians 1:10 says "10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought." All Christians, regardless of our "tribe," need to give attention to true Christian doctrine, that we may all be united in the "one faith" of true Christianity. (Ephes 4:5). Surely God and Christ would provide a means for the entire Christian household to become united in the true faith!
Commentary on Col 2-3 follows:
____EE[4]
CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION. Colos 2 Why should we give attention to the life and words of Jesus/Jehosha? Colossians 2:3 says "Carefully concealed in him are all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge." All true Christians should come to be united by accurate divine knowledge, having understanding, putting truth together to form the complete picture of God's will, on the basis of true love, "the perfect bond of union." Verse 2 speaks of hearts being comforted and "that they may be harmoniously joined together in love and may have all the riches that result from the full assurance of their understanding, in order to gain an accurate knowledge of the sacred secret of God, namely, Christ."
FREED FROM WORLDLY CAPTIVITY. Thus let us look to the truth of God and Christ's teachings as our source of divine knowledge, not to the worldly wise philosophers, propounding their own ideas without regard for God's reliable word. Colossians 3:8 adds this: "Look out that no one takes you captive by means of the philosophy and empty deception according to human tradition, according to the elementary things of the world and not according to Christ." Despite such warnings, Babylonish teachings and particularly Greek philosophy within the first century or two made inroads into Christian thought that contributed to an apostasy from the truth of God's word, violating true Christianity. (2THess 2:3). The text at 2Timothy 4:3-5 foretold and exhorted: "For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the wholesome teaching, but according to their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears tickled. 4 They will turn away from listening to the truth and give attention to false stories. 5 You, though, keep your senses in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry." May we find and treasure the "accurate knowledge" of God's word making possible true peace and happiness among mankind, for an eternity! (COLos 1:9; 1TImo 2:3-4).
CLOTHED WITH NEW PERSONALITY. Colossians 3:8-11 discusses stripping off the "old personality" we may have acquired before receiving Bible truth, and clothe ourselves with the "new personality" through accurate divine knowledge, in the image of God. Colossians 3:8-9a says "But now you must put them all away from you: wrath, anger, badness, abusive speech, and obscene talk out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another." Verse 11 adds that it's not about the exterior of a person--their heritage or ethnicity, for instance, but rather the interior person. We need God's help if we're to abandon such practices as mentioned above. Paul said "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." (PHiliP 4:13). We should pray for God's powerful holy spirit daily, and whenever we need the strength to resist temptations. (LUKe 11:13; 1COri 10:13). Colossians 3:9-10 continues: "Strip off the old personality with its practices, 10 and clothe yourselves with the new personality, which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it." Just as a caterpillar can turn into a beautiful butterfly, so those learning the truth about God and his purposes, and heeding the teachings of Christ, can make astounding changes in their lives in the power of God.
____EE[5]
ENDURING WITH JOY, HOPE, AND SINCERITY!
ENDURANCE WITH JOY. 1Thessalonians 1:5-7 The Thessalonian congregation became an example to many believers in the first century, as the inspired word says through the apostle Paul: "because the good news we preach did not come to you with speech alone but also with power and with holy spirit and with strong conviction, just as you know what sort of men we became among you for your sakes. 6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, seeing that you accepted the word under much tribulation with joy of holy spirit, 7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Mac·e·doʹni·a and in A·chaʹia." The truth of the good news can make us powerful with the help of God's holy spirit, to help us stand firm for godly principles and standards, which example can encourage others to do the same, bringing hope and everlasting happiness to many. They were able to endure much with joy of holy spirit--such joy, or deep satisfaction, with a hopeful outlook, can be a powerful sustaining force as we hold to a good course. Nehemiah once told fellow Israelites of the power of such satisfaction found in pleasing God: "the joy of Jehovoe is your stronghold." (Nehem 8:10). May we rely on God and His powerful holy spirit, producing fruitful qualities such as joy, that we may continue successfully serving God faithfully, into eternity!
ENTRUSTED WITH MESSAGE OF REAL HOPE. 1Thessalonians 2:2 shows that although Paul "suffered" and was "insolently treated" in Philippi, along with others, they "mustered up boldness by means of...God to tell...the good news of God in the face of much opposition." The everlasting lives of people are at stake--we too may face opposition while trying to inform others of the choice they have to side with the true God for everlasting life. 1Thessalonians 2:4 offers a helpful view, saying "but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak to please, not men, but God, who examines our hearts." May God see our desire to show genuine love for others, hoping that some may respond and find the genuine "joy of Jehovoe" that can be our "stronghold." (NEHem 8:10).
IMITATE CHRIST, SAFEGUARDING SINCERE MOTIVES. 1Thessalonians 2:5-8 shows the motives and attitude of ones imitating Christ, such as the apostle Paul, in the first century: "In fact, you know that we never used flattering speech or put on any false front with greedy motives; God is witness! 6 Nor have we been seeking glory f rom men, either from you or from others, though we could be an expensive burden as apostles of Christ. 7 On the contrary, we became gentle in your midst, as when a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. 8 So having tender affection for you, we were determined to impart to you, not only the good news of God but also our very selves, because you became so beloved to us." May we be determined to have similar motives toward others, with true sincerity and chastity. At 2Corinthians 11:3 Paul expressed concern regarding the true motives of Christians, saying: "But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent seduced Eve by its cunning, your minds might be corrupted away from the sincerity and the chastity that are due the Christ." By maintaining Christian love and associated qualities, such as humility, loyalty (with integrity), and mildness, we can safeguard our hearts from corruption. (EPHes 4:1-3). May we remain gentle in our dealings with fellow Christians, sincerely and truly loving them.
____EE[6]
TAKE MATTERS TO GOD, NOT FALLING TO LIES, BUT ENDURING FAITHFULLY.
FAITH, ENDURANCE. 2Thessalonians 1:4-5 highlights the endurance and faith, especially of those chosen to rule with Christ in the Kingdom. They receive a scourging before God in discipline and training, to truly be worthy of their privilege to rule. Enduring persecutions and hardships faithfully, they learn vital Christian qualities and principles of truth that will serve them well in their role as kings and priests before mankind, lovingly assisting humans to grow in their relationship with God and others. All can follow such examples of faith and endurance. This is all after the example of Christ, as at 1Peter 2:21-23, revealing "21 In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving a model for you to follow his steps closely. 22 He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. 23 When he was being insulted, he did not insult in return. When he was suffering, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the One who judges righteously." Verses 4-5 of 2Thessalonians read this way: "As a result we ourselves take pride in you among the congregations of God because of your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the hardships that you are suffering. 5 This is a proof of the righteous judgment of God, leading to your being counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you are indeed suffering."
KINDNESS, FEED HUNGRY
. Thus we should look to God if we are having to cope with any sort of suffering, especially from others, as Romans 12:17-21 says "Return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration what is fine from the viewpoint of all men. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovoe.” 20 But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals on his head.” 21 Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good." What about the heaping of "fiery coals"? These were used to soften metal, to make it workable. Thus, good works toward wrongdoers can soften or melt their stubbornness of pride, perhaps leading to their genuine repentance. Thus, may we "keep conquering the evil with the good."
SEEK TRUTH, NOT TO BE MISLED. 2Thessalonians 2:9-12 continues mention of a lawless one, who deceives many from true righteousness and true worship. Verses 9-12 read this way: "9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10 and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11 That is why God lets a deluding influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness." How vital to be truth seekers, reading God's word diligently so as not to be misled from the truth of God, by those who would claim to know God's word but tell religious lies, seeking their own glory and benefit. (John 7:18; 1Peter 5:2,3). May we not be deluded by "every powerful work and lying signs and wonders" causing ones to be led astray from the truth of God. As Jesus said, at Matthew 7:21-23: "“Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’" May Christian ministers humbly embrace Bible truth as it is revealed to them. Let us all ensure we are doing the true will of God, including what we read at 1Timothy 2:4, "whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth."
GUIDED TO LOVE AND ENDURANCE. 2Thessalonians 3:5 shows two important aims of true Christians: "May the Lord continue to guide your hearts successfully to the love of God and to the endurance for the Christ." Love for God and others, while vital for true Christians, takes time to learn, and should be shown in harmony with godly wisdom, promoting integrity to God and His standards. Such love is to endure into eternity, to the glory of the God who "is love," Jehovoe!

ETENAL EXPRESS:
CONTROLLING SPEECH
James 3 highlights the importance of learning to control our speech. James 3:2 says "For we all stumble many times. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able to bridle also his whole body." Even ships are big, but "they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the man at the helm is inclined to go. So, too, the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it makes great brags. See how small a fire it takes to set a great forest ablaze!" (JAMes 3:4,5). Let's take to heart God's word and learn to thoughtfully control our speech. "Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is a healing." (PROve 12:18). And "everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." (JAMes 1:19). We have two ears and only one mouth, so let's aim to listen about twice as much as we speak, listening well enough to alter the words of our mouth according to the needs of others.

ETERNAL EXPRESS
REMARKABLE UNITY
1Thessalonians 3:6-8 The early Christians of the first century maintained remarkable unity before "oppressive wolves" entered among them as foretold (Acts 20:28-30). True, they had some disagreements, but resolved these eventually, after some debate, by a Scriptural discussion by appointed men, the apostles and outstanding older men in Jerusalem. (Acts 15). Notice that before the decision on whether or not circumcision was a necessary Christian requirement was handed down, those debating the issue, expressing differing opinions, were not "removed" from the Christian congregation for having an opinion on the matter. Such a thing is not scripturally a serious offense, as is being an idolater, reviler (seriously verbally abusive), a drunkard, or extortioner, for instance. Yet, as 1Corinthians 6:9-11 shows, some used to have such practices, but learning the truth, were able to make necessary changes in their life, with God's help. May we seek Christian unity, loving one another, and rejoicing in the truth as it is clarified to us in God's kind way, practicing it faithfully, standing firm. (Ephes 4:1-3). The inspired words through Paul in 1Thes. 3:6-8 say: "But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has given us the good news about your faithfulness and love, that you always continue to remember us fondly and that you long to see us in the same way as we also do you. 7 That is why, brothers, in all our distress and tribulation, we have been comforted because of you and the faithfulness you demonstrate. 8 Because we are revitalized if you are standing firm in the Lord."
____EE[9]
VALUING THE INNER PERSON
1Peter 3:3-6 helps us focus on the inner person—the lovely qualities of the heart that make life worth living and make friendships far more meaningful and delightful. How much more important to be beautiful spiritually, while we may still modestly value physical beauty. Notice Peter’s inspired words:
“3 Do not let your adornment be external—the braiding of hair and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothing—4 but let it be the secret person of the heart in the incorruptible adornment of the quiet and mild spirit, which is of great value in the eyes of God. 5 For this is how the holy women of the past who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, subjecting themselves to their husbands, 6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you have become her children, provided you continue doing good and do not give in to fear.”
INNER PERSON. Thus it takes courage to “continue doing good” and focusing on spiritual beauty with obedience to God. May we ever appreciate the “quiet and mild spirit” of great value in God’s eyes. Such a spirit involves humility, self-control, and mild gentleness manifested throughout each day—not just at certain times, such as when one is becoming irritated. These qualities should flow from us constantly, forming a vital foundation of the Christian new personality with faith in God and Christ. May we treasure spiritual qualities, no longer being a “physical man” oblivious to spirituality, or inner well-being and happiness. May we add loyalty and faithfulness, in harmony with true love, refusing to do what could bring harm to another dear human, but seeking the long-term best interests of others, including their eternal life before God.
MOSAIC LAW SELECT

MOSAIC LAW HIGHLIGHTS
CHRISTIAN STANDARD: PRINCIPLED LOVE PROMOTES GENUINE TRUST IN ONE ANOTHER, ESPECIALLY FELLOW BELIEVERS.
Now let’s consider Exodus 22:14-15, as we consider another law regarding possession of goods. This reads: “14 “But if anybody asks to borrow an animal from his fellow man and it gets maimed or it dies while its owner is not with it, the man who borrowed it must make compensation. 15 If its owner is with it, he is not to make compensation. If it was hired, the money paid for the hire is the compensation.”
INTENTIONS TO BORROW. Verse 14 Notice in this instance, rather than an owner asking another to keep his animal, this time someone asks to borrow it. What is his real motive in doing so? Hopefully good. But if something should happen to the animal while the owner is not around, the man in this instance must compensate for whatever happened to the animal. This is in contrast to the previous law in the case of the owner initiating the change of possession. This clearly helps avoid someone having questionable intentions regarding what belongs to another. And once again, accepting goods from another temporarily does bring responsibility, but can reinforce trust between neighbors if all goes well, or according to law.
REASONABLE EXCEPTIONS. Verse 15 We see here, however, reasonably that if the owner is with the animal when something has happened to it, this frees the borrowing neighbor from responsibility, or the requirement of compensation. Also, if the animal was hired, the borrowing neighbor giving up money to use the animal, and something happens to it, that money is the compensation to the owner for the animal, as both have suffered loss, the borrower likely not getting the use of the animal that he intended after payment.
GENUINE TRUST, HONEST DEALINGS. So we find in all of these laws regarding material goods or animals changing hands between owner and another, that some simple, straightforward guidelines help to ensure proper motive in dealings between neighbors. At times, God could intervene to decide who was guilty of wrong intentions, having improper motives, even being deceitful, actually speaking falsely. How we should treasure genuine trust in one another, dealing honestly and openly with our fellow neighbors! Again, the new world of God’s making is one built on faith and trust in God and in one another. Only under such circumstances can true peace and love flourish, and genuine happiness prevail! Even now, we should prepare for this new world by practicing such things, although remaining cautious in dealing with any ungodly ones around us, whose association could corrupt good character (1COri 15:33; 2TImo 3:1-5). But we are also to seek to give hope to such ones, with encouraging words at the right time, that they too have opportunity to live forever as we also desire. (2PEter 3:9; PROve 25:11). Such hope, rooted in God’s reliable word, may inspire a turning to God, and seeking to live in harmony with Him, with realization of a coming day of judgement. (ROMans 15:4; ACTs 24:15; ZEPha 2:2,3). May billions of mankind continue to be found on the side of righteousness as that day arrives, each one drawing ever closer to Jehovoe God, ushering in a new world of genuine and lasting peace!
____MLS[2]
CHRISTIAN STANDARD: THE CREATOR, JEHOVOE, DESERVES OUR EXCLUSIVE WORSHIP, WHILE WE SPURN SPIRITISM AND OTHER CONDEMNED PRACTICES.
In Deuteronomy 22:18-20, God roundly condemns three practices among His covenanted people: Sorcery, Bestiality, and Sacrificing to False gods.
SPIRITISM CONDEMNED BY GOD. Verse 18 Regarding the first one, certainly the same would have applied to a male practicing sorcery in ancient Israel, but in stating that even a woman doing so was condemned by God, we see even more clearly how serious of a matter this was. Notice how Deuteronomy 18 expands to explain the reasons, as Moses relates, in verses 9-14: "“When you have entered into the land that Jehovoe your God is giving you, you must not learn to imitate the detestable practices of those nations. 10 There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, anyone practicing magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, 11 anyone binding others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium or a fortune-teller, or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to Jehovoe, and on account of these detestable practices Jehovoe your God is driving them away from before you. 13 You should prove yourself blameless before Jehovoe your God. 14 “For these nations that you are dispossessing used to listen to those practicing magic and divination, but Jehovoe your God has not allowed you to do anything like this. Jehovoe your God will raise up for you from among your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to him."
AMONG CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION? Did Jesus and his first-century disciples allow sorcery or witchcraft among the believing congregation? The Scriptural answer is a clear "NO." In fact, the city of Ephesus was actually known for such practices, these together called "spiritism" in God's word. When they received the truth of God's word, true Christianity, what did they do with all of their magic books on spells, omens, etc.? Acts 19:19,20 reveals: "Indeed, quite a number of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them up before everybody. And they calculated their value and found them worth 50,000 pieces of silver. 20 Thus in a mighty way, the word of Jehovoe kept growing and prevailing." So we see Jehovoe's blessing on their willingly sacrificing such things--by doing this they showed they cared, not only for their own spirituality, but that of their neighbors as well. Also, are not those who have become involved in such practices, desirous of certain advantages, although often out of selfishness? Does God not have the power to provide for our right desires before Him, such as finding a good and loyal marriage partner? Psalm 145:9,16 says "9 Jehovoe is good to all, And his mercy is evident in all his works...16 You open your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing." Thus, look to God to satisfy your desires, going to Him in prayer to seek out how to please Him and find genuine satisfaction in living before Him, with eternal life and happiness in view!
IN TODAY'S WORLD. Today, an ungodly system, and perhaps to some degree, even Christian thinking, has been affected by spiritistic practices. Such things have sometimes even been the basis for teaching our children some of the things they need to learn in life--causing confusion when they learn of God's view of matters. Recall, however, that God is superbly understanding and reasonable in His love for us. We should do our best to correct our thinking and that of our children, in line with God's reliable word. It is Jehovoe God that gives us hope of a truly happy, successful life into eternity, along with our resurrected loved ones alive in His memory, that we may see again, along with ancestors we've yet to meet, but that Jehovoe Himself came to know and love! (JOB 14:13-15; JOHn 5:28-29). May we yearn to please our loving Creator and Father, Jehovoe, and learn to refuse or ignore any attempts to persuade us to practice the things God hates. Remember, God always has good reasons for telling us to reject something as bad--it can harm us or others spiritually and otherwise. While we can encourage others to gain God's view, we needn't try to make them do so--God typically invites people to learn of His loving ways and to live by them--He usually doesn't force them to do so. May we happily serve our loving God in a clean way that He approves, and lovingly share our hope of eternal life with others!
____MLS[3]
Now let's begin considering Leviticus 6, with verses 1-7, as God's Law through Moses continues: "Jehovoe went on to say to Moses: 2 “If someone sins and behaves unfaithfully toward Jehovoe by deceiving his neighbor in connection with something entrusted to him, or something deposited with him, or he robs or defrauds his neighbor, 3 or he finds something lost and is deceptive about it, and if he swears falsely over any such sin he may commit, this is what he should do: 4 If he has sinned and is guilty, he must return what he stole, what he extorted, what he took by fraud, what was entrusted to him, or the lost thing that he found, 5 or anything about which he swore falsely, and he must make full compensation for it, and he will add to it a fifth of its value. He will give it to the owner on the day his guilt is proved. 6 And he will bring to the priest as his guilt offering to Jehovoe a sound ram from the flock according to the assessed value, for a guilt offering. 7 The priest will make atonement for him before Jehovoe, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done resulting in his guilt."
The thief of Exodus 22, stealing another's sheep or cattle, was to make double, quadruple, even five-fold compensation for what he stole! Such a thief had likely started with smaller things, and became trained in deceit. In Leviticus 6, the unfaithful deception of his/her neighbor may be untrained, with less practice, and hopefully can be curtailed with the lesson learned by God's discipline here. It is still penalized by adding a fifth to what was received by deception, on top of returning the item(s) itself. And the sound ram for a guilt offering was required. All of this should have helped the erring one to be reminded of God's watchcare--that He can see what we're doing, and we should act accordingly! Proverbs 15:3 says "The eyes of Jehovoe are everywhere, Watching both the bad and the good." Yet God remains somewhat separated from sinners, not being entertained by their evil. 1Peter 3:12 says "For the eyes of Jehovoe are on the upright, and his ears listen to their supplication, but the face of Jehovoe is against those doing bad things.” God's spirit angels would have seen what was done, and could report to Jehovoe. Genesis 18:20-21 talks about an earlier outcry that reached Jehovoe's ears: "Then Jehovoe said: “The outcry against Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah is indeed great, and their sin is very heavy. 21 I will go down to see whether they are acting according to the outcry that has reached me. And if not, I can get to know it.” Clearly from this verse, God CHOOSES what He will know and learn about--He is not automatically familiarizing Himself with every instance of every evil thing going on in the world, and neither should we. He learns what is necessary to preserve and rescue His servants from evil for their eternal welfare. May we place our trust in such an all-wise and loving God. May any wrongdoers repent of such evil, turning to our merciful, loving God and Father, and may right-hearted ones continue in the course of what is right, finding true joy in life and setting an example for others, leading to their being rescued for eternal life!

CHRISTIAN STANDARD: PRINCIPLED LOVE COURAGEOUSLY REJECTS EVIL, HATING BADNESS, WHILE AVOIDING REVILEMENT.
Let’s now consider Exodus 22:28: “28 “You must not curse God nor curse a chieftain among your people.”
GOD NOT TO BLAME. Verse 28 Another term for “curse” here is “revile,” to speak abusively of this one. How we should always hold God in high esteem, learning the proper healthy, reverential fear of ever displeasing Him, always wanting to please God, never hurting Him in any way, appreciative of His great love for us and all of His human creation. Some have blamed God when they’ve misunderstood the issues of universal sovereignty and free will, involving His temporary permission of wickedness and suffering. Our first parents, inspired by a serpent, chose disobedience to God, wanting in effect to decide for themselves right and wrong, rather than trusting God for that determination. They and the human family thus came out from under God’s overriding protection and blessing, and this led to much experimentation with various forms of rulership, struggling to find one that can fully care for all the needs of it’s subjects. Still, we’ve all been given the gift of free will, to choose whether or not we want to please our loving God, pleasing and honoring Him in love, or turn away from Him. Of course, there are consequences to our decisions, but He’s given us free will nonetheless, which we can use to make His heart rejoice when we freely choose to love and serve Him, appreciating His guidance in life. Proverbs 27:11 says “11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me.” Thus we are wise to choose to obey God, and we may still receive certain protections and blessings for doing so, although with the coming of God’s kingdom, humankind can begin to experience this in full measure, with everyone siding with God’s right of rulership over His human creation. What blessings are in store!
CHRISTIANS, WHILE SPEAKING AGAINST WHAT IS BAD, AVOID ABUSIVE SPEECH. Notice, we are likewise to avoid cursing a “chieftain” or “ruler” among God’s people. Those that God has allowed to receive authority to govern people deserve our respect and appreciation for their hard work and efforts to do so properly. If they stray from God’s moral guidelines, setting a poor example, we should make this a matter of prayer, but while their public conduct might be discussed, we should still avoid abusive, hateful speech. We may still express hatred for what is bad, but we should compassionately use the utmost caution as regards sullying a person’s reputation. If there is a need to discuss such things, try to focus on the supposed actions themselves rather than the person so much. It was the serpent's hateful false slander against God that deceived Eve and led to man’s fall from perfection and true happiness. We should thus guard our tongue, using it to bless rather than curse. For instance, Romans 12:14 says “14 Keep on blessing those who persecute; bless and do not curse.” Trust God to deal justly with things that appear out of harmony with His will. It is wrongdoers that often “sharpen their tongue like that of a serpent; Venom of vipers is behind their lips.” (Psalm 140:3). Regarding God’s servants, Proverbs 10 says “20 The tongue of the upright one is like the finest silver” and Proverbs 12 says “18 Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing.” Our hearts are most valuable to God when they are found in the way of righteousness. Proverbs 10:20 continued with saying “But the heart of the crooked one is worth little.” May all look to God to grow in true wisdom, understanding the right way to live before Him, looking forward to doing so with eternal life and happiness in view!

Leviticus 6, on Outward Appearance, and the Heart
Now let's consider more of Leviticus 6, this time verses 8-13, with additional instructions regarding the "burnt offering" : "Jehovoe continued to speak to Moses, saying: 9 “Command Aaron and his sons and say, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering will remain on the hearth on the altar all night long until the morning, and the fire will be kept burning on the altar. 10 The priest will clothe himself with his official dress of linen, and he will put the linen shorts on over his flesh. Then he will remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire had consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11 Then he will take off his garments and put on other garments and take the ashes to a clean place outside the camp. 12 The fire will be kept burning on the altar. It must not go out. The priest must burn wood on it each morning and arrange the burnt offering over it, and he will make the fat of the communion sacrifices smoke over it. 13 Fire will be kept constantly burning on the altar. It must not go out."
INSIDE AND OUT. When carrying out official duties at the altar, the officiating priest was to generally be clothed "with his official dress of linen." But reasonably, God directed the priest to "put on other garments" when the official dress may have been more easily soiled from the ashes, taking them outside the camp. This was despite the fact that this task was still a "priestly duty." Here in Leviticus 6 is thus a scriptural example showing God's reasonableness when it comes to our attire. We thus needn't be dressed "our Sunday best" when volunteering to clean a place of worship, or perform some outside work. Philippians 4:5 thus says: "Let your reasonableness become known to all men. The Lord is near." The prior verse may show this quality of reasonableness is linked with genuine happiness. Verse 4 reads: "Always rejoice in the Lord. Again I will say, Rejoice!" May we delight in our activities in behalf of true worship of Jehovoe, be they attending Christian meetings for Bible study, sharing our hope with others, personal study of God's word at our home, or even aiming to improve the cleanliness and good order of things there, as a reflection of the 'God of peace and order,' Jehovoe. (HEBre 10:23-25, 1COri 14:33). Of course, circumstances vary when it comes to keeping our homes clean and orderly. Be sure to maintain the essentials of cleanliness, while it may take considerable time to reduce years of collecting "another man's treasures." In times past, clutter may have easily accumulated, but as one gains the right spirit and motivation, such habits can change, and gradually work can be done to better organize, eliminate or consolidate such things. While not referring to this matter specifically, Jesus did mention that as ones learn to "cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish," the outside "may become clean." He was referring to the removal of bad traits in the hearts of men, and the resulting positive effects on one's outward appearance. The Jewish religious leaders were placing too much emphasis on one's outward appearance, while neglecting their own hearts. May we continue to place a high priority on spiritual things, gaining more and more insight into God's inspired word, and true godly wisdom, that we may bring Jehovoe more and more honor as His devoted servants, with eternal life in view for others and ourselves!

Leviticus 6, on Inauguration of High Priest
Now let's consider further Leviticus 6, verses 19-23: "19 Jehovoe spoke again to Moses: 20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons will present to Jehovoe on the day he is anointed: the tenth of an eʹphah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 It will be made with oil on a griddle. You will bring it well-mixed with oil and present it in pieces as a baked product of the grain offering as a pleasing aroma to Jehovoe. 22 The anointed priest who succeeds him from among his sons will make it. It is a lasting regulation: As a whole offering it will be made to smoke to Jehovoe. 23 Every grain offering of a priest should be a whole offering. It must not be eaten.”
Here we have the inauguration of the Levitical high priest, who under the Mosaic Law would remain so for his lifetime, and then be succeeded, by one in the family line. Notice that it was this successor who was to make this grain offering (v.22). And half was to be offered in the morning, and half in the evening. Also, those among the priests were not to eat it, but rather it was in whole sacrificed on Jehovoe's altar. Of course, in the Christian application, it is Jesus who is not only king, but an everlasting high priest, but if there were those prior to the installment of Jesus, each one, in harmony with our spiritual understanding of grain offerings, would likely offer a spiritual discourse, both early in the day, perhaps on the Sabbath, as well as later in the day, or evening. This discourse was to be "well-mixed with oil," which scripturally is said to "make the face shine," so this would be an uplifting discourse, something appropriate for the occasion. Regarding the Christ, Hebrews 4:15 says this: "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tested in all respects as we have, but without sin." Even those representing God and Christ on earth can become very close to God's perfect standard, with God's training, on the basis of faith in God, and His undeserved kindness through the ransom sacrifice of the Christ above. And Hebrews 7:26 says "For it is fitting for us to have such a high priest who is loyal, innocent, undefiled, separated from the sinners, and exalted above the heavens." May we look forward to the rulership of God's kingdom, including the earthly realm. Clearly, God's chosen one has wisdom necessary to encourage mankind back to a good relationship with Him, as the priests are responsible to do, leading as many as possible to eternal life in Paradise.

MOSAIC LAW SELECTION
CHRISTIAN STANDARD: TRUE CHRISTIANS MAINTAIN DEEP TRUST IN GOD AND JESUS FOR BOTH SALVATION AND FREEDOM FROM SIN, MAKING POSSIBLE GENUINE PEACE.
Now let's consider Exodus 23, verses 14,15: "“Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me. 15 You will observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. You will eat unleavened bread for seven days, just as I have commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Aʹbib, for at that time you came out of Egypt. No one is to appear before me empty-handed."
FREEDOM FROM SIN ESSENTIAL. This was the first of three festivals Jehovoe required the Israelites to commemorate, the Festival of Unleavened Bread, or Unfermented Cakes. Earlier, God had commanded observance of this festival to Moses, at Exodus 12:14-20. Verse 15 stated: "Seven days you are to eat unleavened bread. Yes, on the first day you are to remove the sourdough from your houses, because anyone eating what is leavened from the first day down to the seventh, that person must be cut off from Israel." How seriously all were to take this matter! Even foreigners dwelling with Israel were required to recognize this festival, avoiding leavened bread for the seven days. (Exodus 12:19). Leavening in the Scriptures was symbolic of sin, Paul stating that "a little leaven ferments the whole batch of dough." (1Cori 5:6). Is it physical life alone that enables people to live peaceably and find true happiness? Sin must be removed, that genuine peace may be found. Jesus sacrifice was to make possible a freedom from sin and death among mankind, as he himself proved free of corruption. (Romans 3:21-24). It was Jesus that John called "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29). Upon his resurrection, Jesus would continue working to protect and defend the eternal life prospects of mankind, assisting with the gradual removal of human imperfection, especially as King of God's Kingdom. Understandably, God wanted Israel to remember how they received their freedom from slavery into the Land of Promise, not taking this for granted. This festival, directly following the day of Passover, the same day Christ offered his life in sacrifice, was a reminder to Israel of their Deliverance by Jehovoe out of slavery, their freedom as a nation coming from Him.
JEHOVOE THROUGH CHRIST--SOURCE OF SALVATION. To God, it was clearly a life or death matter to credit Him for their deliverance and freedom, not imagining that Israel accomplished such things in their own power. The prophet Jeremiah 17:5-8 says this: "This is what Jehovoe says: “Cursed is the man who puts his trust in mere humans, Who relies on human power, And whose heart turns away from Jehovoe. 6 He will become like a solitary tree in the desert. He will not see when good comes, But he will reside in parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land where no one can live. 7 Blessed is the man who puts his trust in Jehovoe, Whose confidence is in Jehovoe. 8 He will become like a tree planted by the waters, That sends out its roots to the stream. He will not notice when heat comes, But his leaves will always flourish. And in the year of drought he will not be anxious, Nor will he quit producing fruit." May we ever acknowledge and appreciate Jehovoe and Jesus, and their great love for God's people, and all mankind, acknowledging God's appointment of God's firstborn son in David's line to have received kingship, looking to them for guidance in life, and ultimately Jehovoe as our Source of eternal life, peace, and happiness!

CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES: GOD MERCIFULLY FORGIVES THOSE REPENTING OVER REJECTION OF JESUS AS CHOSEN MESSIAH--THE SUFFERING HE EXPERIENCED HAD BEEN FORETOLD; FESTIVAL OF BOOTHS TEACHES IMPARTIALITY
Now let’s continue in Exodus 23 regarding the three festivals Israel were to keep, this time the second and third one: “16 Also, you are to observe the Festival of Harvest of the first ripe fruits of your labors, of what you sow in the field; and the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the results of your labors. 17 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the true Lord, Jehovoe.”
PETER'S EXHORTATION AT PENTECOST. The first festival Israel was to keep was the Festival of Unleavened Bread, or Unfermented Cakes, which we considered the previous day. At that festival the first of the barley harvest was presented to Jehovoe, evidently before any other harvesting was done. The day this occurred was Nisan 16, and seven weeks were to be counted from that day, the next festival beginning on the 50th day, hence the term “Pentecost.” Thus, the second festival is also called the Festival of Weeks, and corresponded to the first of the wheat harvest. In this instance, some wheat was harvested prior to attending the festival, as wheat cakes were to be made to bring and offer as a communion offering to the attending priest. Notice further instructions regarding this second festival: “11 And you are to rejoice before Jehovoe your God, you and your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, the Levite who is inside your cities, the foreign resident, the fatherless child, and the widow, who are in your midst, in the place that Jehovoe your God chooses to have his name reside.” Whereas the first festival was evidently a close family observance, this second festival, as well as the third, called for more openness and hospitality. Thus, large numbers of Israel were present to hear Peter’s exhortation to repent over their rejection of Jesus as a nation, and find favor with Jehovoe as true disciples of him. (Acts 2:1,5,14-42). He said to some, at Acts 3:17-19, “17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers also did. 18 But in this way God has fulfilled the things he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer. 19 “Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get your sins blotted out, so that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovoe himself.”
IMPARTIAL JUSTICE, ACCEPTANCE OF GENTILE CHRISTIANS. The third festival was also called the Festival of Booths, or Tabernacles, and was associated with the end of harvest ingathering from the fields—a time of great thanksgiving to Jehovoe for His blessing on their fruitful land. They were to make “booths” from palm fronds, boughs of trees and poplars, which each family would occupy for the seven days of the festival. These were to be constructed in and around Jerusalem, on roofs, in courtyards and public squares, and along roads within a Sabbath day’s journey. Consider what this meant: Rich and poor alike were all to dwell in these booths made from the same materials from the hills and countryside near Jerusalem, eating within them. What a fine reminder of the equality with which God looked upon all of His people. In the Law, God reminds judges, at Leviticus 19:15: “15 “‘You must not be unjust in your judgment. You must not show partiality to the poor or show preference to the rich. With justice you should judge your fellow man.” Also in Job, Elihu made this statement regarding Jehovoe: “19 There is One who does not show partiality to princes And who does not favor the rich over the poor, For they are all the work of his hands.” (Job 34:19). Thus, Peter’s assessment is applicable, when he stated at Acts 10:34-35: “34 At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial, 35 but in every nation the man who reveres him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” Therefore, may we treat others impartially, with true love, encouraging them to practice what is right before God, and find God’s acceptance and blessing for them and ourselves. Spiritual wealth and wisdom is even more advantageous than material wealth. While both, even scripturally, have advantages, Proverbs 10:22 may refer more to spiritual riches in saying: “22 It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it.” Ecclesiastes 7:12 adds: “12 For wisdom is a protection just as money is a protection, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.” May we treasure spiritual things, our relationships with God and others, and the happy future He is making possible, more than what we acquire materially, moving us to be faithful and keep integrity to our Loving God and Father, Jehovoe.

Upcoming: To post the Review of Psalm 119 Stanzas 12-14, also aiming for other segment posts to further orient the latest blogpost pages. NOTE: Of course, my primary focus is on this nation and things related to my doing and being what God has prepared me to do, be, etc. As regards the 400-day calendar, now the 7-day is off about 16 days for the year, and I noticed that the 1st of August, being a Friday, could be an entry point, if it was accepted and organized properly. Many companies could give workers off that day, with one more day off following, then it would be Sunday but essentially Monday/Moonday of the new calendar, the 18th of Month 7 Huli, for another 5 days work, unless the Sunday was also given off, for a 4-day workweek, then still another 2 days off, before the next 5-day workweek would lead to the 4-day week-ending break. Thus technically Month 7 would be extended, while both calendars can be understood and acknowledged, going from the 7-Day to the 8-Day Calendar. There are ways to pad the 7-day calendar to better line up with the 8-Day going forward, so the seasons do not continue to get off-kilter year after year from the 7-day, as a transitional calendar, which is excellent for planning and correlating dates, etc. to the new calendar. I urge many to think about how this transition would be implemented in what you or your team does, as over half the world knows that this is the true calendar, and has already transitioned to it, and even much of the United States was acknowledging it as the true calendar astronomically, scientifically, etc. for a considerable time last year. At least we might get the conversation going again, with God really having intervened to bring about this change--are some having difficulty realizing God's love for all? This time of consideration actually leads to a period of three weeks (!) where the two calendars nearly match up on the weekends, confirming this as an excellent time to look into transitioning, which again was being considered and in some practice at times previously here in the U.S., where the revealing of God's intervention and calendar originated. The third weekend mentioned has the 16th-17th of August aligning with Days 7-8 (31st-32nd) of the final weekend of Huli, Month 7. (As regards days 32-33 or 34 of months, new computer data fields have been created for the new calendar, different from what has been in place for the 7-day, to accommodate.

(d.628Wnd, f711Fri 10:41 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to PA (8-2) More Orderly Time article, paragraph just before Month 5, starting "NOW" about recommended adjustment to monthnames 2-4. (d.627Trs, 710Thu 6:58-7:01,19,41; 8:24 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize for the delay, I expect to get back to my punctuality that I was known for, throughout my 2020 election year, for example, and afterward, with God's continued blessing! NOTE : As you may realize, I've continued this blogset based on the 400-day calendar (the true one, astronomically, meteorologically, scientifically, etc.), and hopefully which we will acknowledge here, as many localities and regions here in the United States were doing for much time last year! There was some confusion about the reality of this or the connections to my Come to Consensus article, referring to it as the 8-Day Calendar, having God's blessing on new sets of month- and daynames that carry real meaning into our lives, benefitting us more, and underscoring God's interest and love for us. I'm looking to post a few more articles, some Persistent Articles, which I think will replace the Persistent/Introductory Posts designation. Thus PA's will usually be articles that may benefit more people, or benefit people more, in some way, with God's blessing. The full 8-Day Calendar article, as a CTC article, is one I actually thought was posted already this blog cycle, but I wish to post soon today, although it is available on the last blog 3C/8C. I want to review before posting on 4C/8C, blogpost 3 (the C in 4C/8C). I may change referring to blogpost 3 to blogpost C. I may also update the wording of the Educational Note on blogpost 3/C. Update, but article still coming. Article is there, under PA's (Persistent Articles) on blogpost 3/C, as (8-2). There are still other articles I wish to include in the next few days...I've updated that article, month 1, and more updates are possible. (d.626Mnd, 709Wed 8:45-46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 5, verses 1-6, PR-A(5.1). (d.625Rih, 708Tue 6:17,38 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (4B) Psalm 119 Stanza 12-14 Preview, and Stanza 12 Commentary. Update, format, etc. Update, v.91. (d.623Psm, 706Sun 8:08,35; 9:03,08,46,58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to (8B) WGA-B, GA(403), adding to. Added. Update. Formatting, clarity on (8B) location. (d.621Hvn, f704Fri 10:58-59 am; 8:18,28,36; 9:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well and a happy sorta 4th! I've completed the text of the podcast Winit500 theme of last November, w0840-44 U.S. Election for President, 2024. It is in the list under (1B) the Win-it Minute Series work., podcast available on Spotify, elsewhere. Also, don't forget about the Significantly Revised article, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright, on the Top Menu above. Let's continue to look to God and Christ above, as we navigate current circumstances--there is much we can accomplish together when we look above and stand for what's true and right, and what the Founders of our Nation stood for, the same, and looking for God's blessing for things to be as they should. Let's not assume that just because someone may want us to believe a lie, that we just need to go along with it--that's not who we are! Americans across our nation voted, elected me President of the United States, for good reason, and I'm the one blessed by God to be so, doing what I can despite our circumstances--recall that Donald Trump acknowledged at one point that he was not the President of the United States, but seems to have managed to sweep that under the carpet somehow. Nevertheless we want the best for all, recognizing God's love for all, but we also want our Nation truly as it Should Be, and as GOD will blessing it to Become! ALSO POSTED (7) Proverbs B Commentary, chapter 11 conclusion, verses 27-31! (d.620Wdn, f703Thu 8:03 am; 9:38,55,58; 10:50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (1B) Winit500, text of Episode 2, w0841 U.S. Election for President, 2024. W5a w0840- under Win-it Minute Series below. NOW also the REVISED ARTICLE, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright. Titles. Some correction. (d.619Too, f702Wed 9:59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4, verses 24-27, concluding chapter 4. (d.618Moo, f701Tue 7:08-09,15,31,44,48,58; 8:03 am; 7:17,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Got the Podcast Episode 1 Text posted from yesterday, on the W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024, listed under the (1B) Win-it Minute Series, explaining how Donald was attempting to defraud the public by claiming victory in the Presidential election, covering the TRUE results of the election by America. Later, however, as addressed in a later podcast, and after still staging an inauguration, he was willing at one point to be honest with the American people and admit that he was "not the President of the United States", as many who voted for me (and Washington, etc.) hopefully are coming to realize. I've also posted the 2025 Claim to Presidency text in the main body of Winit5to9 Posts, with the more recent Harvard and Issue of Government posts to follow sometime. Formatting, text accuracy. Now also, posted (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.5) chapter 11, verses 22-26. Formatting. (d.617Son, f630Mon 5:33-34; 8:56,58; 9:53; 10:22,36,48 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've moved last year's podcast from after the 2024 November election to the top of my Find Life And See Podcast on Spotify, W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024. I have a place for the text of this podcast below, which I intend to begin posting today. NOW please consider carefully (when you are able) the PIP article below, Names of God and Christ, Clarified, for a carefully composed revision! You may also see the Note from yesterday, just below, regarding God's Name. Updates. (d.616Fan, f629Sun 10:16,18,34 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! As I've occasionally referred to, there has been interference by some, trying to corrupt good work or rob me of much of my own work, whether claiming my own website articles or my podcast work, ideas/designs/patents, etc., and especially even my rightful win as President of the United States, after already being the true 46th President of the United States, fully expecting this time to finally make it to the White House, where I can be and do fully what the American people have looked forward and expect me to be and do. Another thing has come to my attention--my work on restoring God's true name. At one point I was clarifying God's name to be JEHOVAHZ, not Jehovalz. Someone with power attempted to take credit for this, and try to cause confusion about JEHOVALZ, which is now understood to be one of the three GODs that make up the Complete JEHOVAHZ. While knowing Him as a GOD of Vows/Valz, altogether He brings things about, especially His will, in many ways, not only by the keeping of Promises. I'll be updating the website accordingly, and the NAMES of God and Christ article, to again reflect this position. I've already updated the recently posted (4B) Psalm 119 Review 4 Stanzas 01-11 to reflect this change. Also now the most recent (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(4.5). Also (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.4) Correction.

Notes, Formatting NOTES: (25d.515 Slv, f526 Mon 1:56, 9:41; 10:23 am; 3:41; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updating, I've added posts on blogpost 2, finishing the Ten Commandments and adding a Persistent post of 4B, Psalm 119 Intro of Stanzas 1-4. Also, let me clarify that there are places on the 3 blogposts that are meant to be filled as the half quarter (month and a half) proceeds, and the 3A-C blogposts have not been up all that long. So the move to 4A-C up through month 6 will allow more posts as on the site previously, before the new format. Soon adding two Psalm Selects to the Persistent/Introductory Posts on this blogpage. Posted,both Psalms 1 and 15. Now, added posts to pages 2 and 3. This includes 4A Godz Lawl posts in PIP, Persistent/Introductory Posts, and another Godz Lawl post in segment 4A, on the Golden Rule, also in (5) Eternal Express, on Protecting Peace from Ephesians 4-5, and (6) Golden Bellz, on the Salvtuday dayname recommendation from Saltuday. Also, added the 7) article under the CTC Foundational list, actually the original 5th article, Realities of God's Government and Beneficial Standards, and then to (9) Godlove Home, I added the article Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. Misc. updates. 25d.514Prz,f525Sun 8:53 am; 1:15,29,56; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1B-1 so far the Conclusion of the podcast Proper View of God and Life Rewarding, the episode 5 w0834 having become a theme for my campaign, entitled 'Restore Good - Move Forward'. Also, posted this year's entire podcast, the carryover as Winit5to9, w0850-0854, with the theme: 2025 Claim to Presidency. This is under segment (1B) as 1B-3. Also, yesterday's 13th of Month 5 was Thunderday, a day when you more often will hear thunder as from God, realizing He can lend forth His mighty voice to things taking place, as a God of true justice, reminding us of His power, truth, and love. Still there have been interferences, etc.--NOT all storms are from God. Today's 8-Day Calendar day is the second week's Friday, the first week of two being Starzday, for movie-going, etc, with the second being Prayerzday, which begins a four-day or five-day weekend, a day which could also be used for entering court pleas, etc. Prayers of course help all to maintain closeness to God and His Son, and provisions for life. Also, 1A posts, WGA-A, previous. The reference is 1A-2 Previous GA(1A-102-217) on Presidency, Economy, Tariffs, Govt Cuts, etc. This post is originally from the 2025 2/8 START page (blogpost 1), where it (in 2 posts) may still be found. Correction made to most of those individual posts for this page to match the original reference number format, for technical purposes; I will make that change if appropriate on the next blogpost 4A/8A, planning to carry it over. 25d.513Thd,f524Sat 5:31; 6:20-21,39-40; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1A-3 Golden Apples Post, GA(008) On the Number Eight (8). Included as a Latest GA post. Also soon to come, a Psalm 19 rendition. Posted, as latest and Psalms Post 1, numbered 2.1. Updates Psalm 19, note. 25d.512Wnd,f523Fri 9:18-23; 10:15 am; 9:50-53,55,59; 10:27,33,37; 11;11:08-09,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've added another post to (1A) WGA-A, after the A-306 from last night, on the Penny news. This one, A-307, is regarding an important lesson from ancient Greece. Again, these are on this blogpost 1 below, under segment 1A (Weekly) Golden Apples. Also now another (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(3.6), chapter 3, verses 31-35, concluding chapter 3. NOTE : Now letting you know I'm planning to fill-in the missing pieces on the 3 blogposts, but possibly just on the new 4A-C/8A-C posts which normally begin from the middle of month 5 through month 6. Most of the work done on 3A-C/8A-C will be carried over into the 4's. Along with adding WGA-A/B posts, planning especially the next 2 days if possible. I could however finish the essentials on the 3A-C's in time for Memorial Day, then carry over most into the 4's to post a day or two later. The reason this may be better is that we, as the United States, should not be ignoring the 8-Day Calendar, which half the world is already on, as a step forward in life, toward a greater world of peace, with God's blessing. After all, it originated here, in the U.S. with God's blessing on me, so why should we consider being the last to begin using it, unless we're helping others to get on it before us, like people getting into lifeboats before the captain of a ship that's slowly sinking, but such an illustration is NOT to apply to us, or in this situation, except for our captains having such genuine concern for those under their care! God's spirit is still with us to straighten things out, and to have a leading role in bringing blessings from God to other countries, even as "one nation under God". Perhaps we may begin thinking in terms of the 8-Day, I could reference the days in an article/post to remind of the purpose of the day, which I believe God is blessing for it's particular purpose that day, whether it's to strengthen our bodies with the right kind of salt intake, or acknowledging that the day might be more windy like today really was here on this Windyday the 12th of the 5th month Agreehelp (Agr). But I realize it would help for me to get where I should, and the true election results regarding the U.S. President to be acknowledged, which was or is not simple due to the AI media control that Donald had over DC, VA, and MD for the last 4-5 years or more, with at least TV, radio, and internet in the region, beginning likely with smaller measures aimed to lessen opposition to his reputation or ideas. Not everyone knew that I was on the ballot in 48 states last November, with much backing across the nation. 25d.511Tro,f522Thu 6:04,07-08,21; 7:11 am; 11:18,53 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added an Introductory/Persistent Post, Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. More work, including WGA-A/B posts today...Initially prayers that food can continue to get into Palestine, where some 11,000 lives of children and adults are currently being threatened daily, and that love and diplomacy, or mindful and peaceable discussion, be the way, rather than more war or violence. Also, other matters of course need attention. Let love and truth prevail again, as it may rest in our hearts and minds. Added to WGA-A the post (A-306), Last Run of the Penny (As We Know It)? Update. 25d.510Mnd,p521Wed 9:08-09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 3, verses 27-30. 25d.509Rih,p520Tue 6:41,50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added some GA posts.

Posted work from last evening (8B) WGA-B, B-304 post theme: Drive for Clean Energy Can Continue! on blogpost #3. Hoping to be writing again from the real START page, blogpost #1, soon! I'd like to also say, Let's thank God for blessing what we all can do regarding His will, for genuine peace--let's stand for what's true, with God's guidance and love! Some have been seeking their own glory rather than God's, and hurting others in the process, against God's will; May they humble themselves and be honest. We need divine wisdom and God's blessing on all we do! If time, planning to post (4B) Psalm 119 Part 2 of Review within the hour, Stanzas 7-8. Posted! Format update. (25d.504 Wdn, f515 Thu 9:41,50; 10:15-16,23-24,46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've posted Part 1 of the (4) Psalm 119 Stanzas 5-8 Review (Stanzas 5-6), with two good stanza/themes.

(25d.502 Moo, f513 Tue 9:38,40-41 am; 9:55,58; 10:03-05,10-11; 11:01 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well, again from the Blogpost #2, not the normal messaging/notes post of the START page, blogpost 1. So much to be considering, knowing where I should be and still aiming to be, but also wanting to, within limits, address things this way, to share, offer insight, etc. Plan to make some progress on these posts today, while giving attention to the important things of our nation, etc. Several things came up, but I did review Commandment #4 of the Ten, which I've posted by itself, without numbers 5-7 yet. Looking for getting up the START page and/or more Golden Apples pieces and WGA posts on what's taking place, whether WGA-B or WGA-A (blogpost 1). Formatting update. Update, further. (25d.501 Son, f512 Mon 11:53 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updated the Commandments 1-3 of the Ten, specifically #1. (25d.434Lun,f511Sun 10:27,38 am; 4:53; 5:41 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Again this is blogpost 2, not the normal start page, but more notesy for now until it's up! I've updated the Ps119, S08 post(s). Also, this ending of the 4th month of the 8-Day Calendar is the Hymneth long weekend, the days to include the 34th actually get switched up, so that the 30th is (Prz) Prayerzday, 31st (Hym) Hymneth, 32nd (Slt) Saltuday, 33rd (Fan) Fanday, and 34th (Lun) Lunaday. Again, the normal progression in a 33-day month is 30th Prz, 31st Slt, 32nd Fan, 33rd Lun. Now the first 3 of the Ten Commandments has been posted, looking to review before posting remainder. Update. (25d.433Fan,f510Sat 8:01; 9:01,44-45 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again, on this page! Format basically complete for this Blogpost 2, with the Psalm 119 Stanza 8 A and B parts posted as latest segment 4B post and in the 4B list! The Memorial that many anointed ones haven't yet commemorated this year could take place this Monday evening/night (7-Day Cal.) one month following the normal one, after the example of Hezekiah's delayed Passover. Unleavened bread and red wine are symbolic of pure, genuine instruction and the ransom provision, with faith and associated joy of heart that comes with the aim of wisely keeping divine standards. Jehoshua/Jesus said 'until I drink it new with you..." Meetings that discuss the significance of this occasion and provide for both of these provisions figuratively are one way that the Passover statute in God's law that for Christians became the Memorial commemoration ('Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed') can continue to be appreciated and recognized.

Update. Also added to (9) Godlove Home, the article "Aim to Develop True Loyal Love" Update. Formatting. (25d.505 Hvn, f516 Fri 6:59; 7:27 am EDT) Hello! Added (8B) Weekly Golden Apples, B series, WGA-B 3#1 post, B-304 Theme: Drive for Clean Energy Can Continue! (25d.504Wdn,f515 Thu 10:12,53 am, EDT) Hello! Added new portion of (7) Proverbs B, chapter 11 verses 1-5! Format updates. (25d.433Lun,f510Sat 12:13,23,27,33-34,55; 1:08 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Recall addressing you more on this page has been temporary, until completing the new format for all 3 Blogposts, wanting them to display in order, needing to start with the third and work back for this to happen (normally I write most of these notes on Blogpost 1, the START page/post). I've finished with the formatting for this Blogpost 3, and am moving on to the other two! I plan sometime today to have Blogpost 2 started with a Psalm 119 posting from stanza 8, and with it being Saturday on the 7-Day calendar, would recommend the song Back In Time, from the movie Back to the Future, as regards, while being royal, in this case confusion over my election win(s) for President, but getting me where the President should be, especially the true one God is blessing to be so, that I may truly accomplish what the American people voted for me to serve as President and do, looking forward to what God prepared me over much time to be able to do! I've become aware of an adjustment, and am making it, to make two lists on the segment 8, a CTC list and a WGA-B list, rather than mixing them. Complete. (25d.432Fan,f509Fri 8:45,53; 11:46 am; 10:39-40 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! The post of WGA-B, (B-303) now soon to come! Topic is chosen, etc. I apologize again for the delays or the being delayed in various ways, although I aim once again to be more consistent as I had in the past with making posts on thinking and activity. Part of the reason for this has been my continued aims to be where the true U.S. President, blessed by God, should be, as I know many share this important standard that our nation has upheld in most elections throughout it's history! Added the post (B-303), Regarding Department Cuts, Some Excessive...Also posted to Seg.8 LIST (25d.430 Prz,f507 Wed 7:13,15,19 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Improved some things, still upcoming WGA-B post(s), which is a secondary form of the WGA's previously on the start page, moving some to this post on themes not as necessary for the start page content. (25d.428Wnd,f505Mon 9:01,53; 10:13 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Adding the CTC article, fully: Issue after Issue Being Addressed by God's Kingdom: Prejudice and Racism. This is posted as the LATEST CTC POST, as well as the FIRST in the list of CURRENT CTC/WGA-B Posts, as (8.1). More preparation for upcoming WGA-B post(s), under GA(302) WGA-B #1; At least one, GA(303) to be next before ensuing blogpost work... Update to P&R article. Inclusion of Podcast reference. (25d.426Mnd,f503Sat 11:58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added the (8-2) Persistent Post of the 8-Day Calendar article, called More Orderly Time, Month and Daynames, revised some! I've again had some interferences, for which I apologize. (25d.424Fwn,501Thu 5:08-09 pm EDT) Hello, and welcome! I've had delays, but posted is now the podcast example policy insertion into the Foundation articles from the Podcast series, WM2, on Pushing Reset: Letting Work Become More Enjoyable, Rewarding! (25d.423Psd,430Wed 8:33 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! More layout of post, aiming for WGA-B posts soon... (d25.422Stz,429Tue 9:37-38,50 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to the CTC Foundational articles with the inserted one mentioned previously, helping see the place of government in relation to God and His Kingdom. Also, I've posted one of the Persistent Posts, a CTC on Proper View of Law(l). (25/421Hvn,428Mon 3:27,53; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I know this is blogpost 3, but I'm in the process of preparing to post all 3, and I wanted this third one posted first, so that it appears third in the list after the other two are up. I went ahead and included a few posts on this page, including another (7) Proverbs B (ch 11-20), from chapter 10, verses 28-32, the conclusion of that chapter. Also, the CTC Foundational articles I've been intending to post for a while now, but which were on a previous post from last year, I'm also posting. The CTC Corner (Come to Consensus Corner) Startup post is included, as well as now four of the first 5 articles/policies. There is another newer article I've planned to include among this grouping, believing it's more helpful now to underscore some important things relating God's interest and much-needed blessing on good government, to maintain civilized society, often taken for granted. Up to 4 CTC articles!

(25/416Fan,423Wed, 12:10 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Had a technical issue I believe is now resolved, which slowed me some on the blog while at the same time I was focused on accomplishing other things and still am--I do apologize for the blog delay. I'm working on the new full set of blogposts 1-3, segments 1-9 as previous. All three blogposts are to have a similar format to this one, despite the varying subject matter. I did update the first two articles under Christianity, and am about to add something else to the second article, The Basics. (25/410Min,417Thu, 10:10 am; 5:30 pm EDT) Hello, wishing you well again! Added to the 10 Points with explanation of the change from LGBTQ+ to simply LGTQ, still to be addressing this important issue. It may actually be that simply 3 letters will suffice for the abbreviation, as in GTQ, as Gay had come to represent both male and female gender conditions. This could also possibly be TGQ. (25/408Fwn,p415Tue, 8:20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added new Proverbs A segment of chapter 3, PR-A(3.4), verses 19-26. I apologize that getting the entire blog up as usual, but with the updated format, is taking time. Still looking to God, asking for prayers, for things to be right, to take place as they should, for everyone's benefit! (25/405Hvn,p412Sat, 7:18-19 pm EDT) Hello! Memorial night, like true Passover, but of Christ's death, the literal and the figurative. You might reflect on the meaning, and read a chapter, perhaps Luke 22, or more, considering lessons. Love of God and His wonderful power and purpose toward mankind, a beautiful and peace-loving world, is made possible! Have faith in the Son, the ransom for forgiveness of sins, and aim for the target of righteousness in your decisions, to honor God and reflect divine wisdom in how you do things, contributing to His will! {Recall that truly anointed ones are to be in attendance to partake, and all were to commemorate on Passover night, honoring God and Christ. Paul also said "As often as" you do this, which can indicate allowance for another month's observance, at least occasionally. It could well be that as anointed ones all reached their new heavenly position, in the secondary application, that the commemoration could consistently involve and recognize a figurative or emblematic eating of spiritual bread, or life-sustaining instruction, as well as drinking of spiritual wine, recognizing Christ's sacrifice and also the rejoicing that wine scripturally signifies, true happiness being made possible with proper understanding and application of God's word and Christianity.} (25/404Wdn,p411Fri, 11:37-38,41 am; 3:27,35 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again. To put up a repost of an article on Coal Initiatives from a while back--it should be of interest to those who are not familiar with it. Now posted, WGA (1-217), Repost, update: On Former Coal Initiatives. (25/331Slt,p407Mon, 10:12-13,16,18,50; 11:24 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted WGA (1-216) Urging Strong Caution--Response to harsh Tariffs plan. We've taken some steps to help make up for some of the initial effects and possible overreactions from last week, seeking God's blessing under the circumstances. Updated. (25/323Psd,f330Sun, 8:01,05 am; 10:20, 23,53 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Update to (1-215) and addition of PS(2.3), Psalm 15, Good Character.
