Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    who walk in obedience to him.

2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
    blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.

4 Yes, this will be the blessing
    for the man who fears the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion;
    may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life.

6 May you live to see your children’s children—
    peace be on Israel.

The middle east has been plagued with wars for generations and in today's time we see the conflict heating up to an all-time high. Pastor Taylor does his best to guide you through what the bible has to say about the middle east as it pertains to Isarael. 

Deuteronomy 20:1-4 

“When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’

There will be no peace amongst men in the land of the living until the Lord God Jesus Christ returns to free man from his own damnation. Until then there will be conflict, wars. and disagreements. Pastor Taylor draws light to these issues and many others using the word of God.
 
The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.

68

26 Bless God in the congregations,
The Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

27 There is little Benjamin, their leader,
The princes of Judah and their [j]company,
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.

28 [k]Your God has commanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.

29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
Kings will bring presents to You.

30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.

31 Envoys will come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah

33 To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice.

34 Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.

35 O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.

Blessed be God!

The division amongst Christians has been a regularly used tactic from Satan himself to try and sabotage the army or God. Keeping people divided and in constant conflict with one another is an easy way to distract from the greatness of God. In today's episode Pastor Taylor once again bridges the gap between scripture and the current state of humanity.   
 


2nd  Timothy 3

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

The Book of Revelation is a widely debated book of the bible for its various predictions of the world yet to come. Pastor Taylor helps to shine light on the many different scenes and scenarios that will take place during this time. 

In the Book of Revelation, the apocalyptic hopes of the early Christian community find their clearest and most complete expression. Apocalypticism was not a new phenomenon among Christians; it was a well-established belief among Jews, who held that the coming of the kingdom of God would not be brought about by a gradual transformation but by a sudden intervention, when God would end the present age and establish his kingdom in the world made new. This conception of coming events is associated with the belief that prior to this future time, the struggle between the forces of good and evil will become more intense. As the evil powers grow stronger, they will inflict persecution and, in some instances, even death upon those who follow a course of righteousness. The struggle will eventually reach a climax, at which time God will intervene, destroy the forces of evil, and set up a new order in which the righteous will live for all time to come. The appearance of the Messiah will coincide with the coming of these events.

On this controversial episode Pastor Taylor tackle's, the sensitive topic of LGBTQ in the eyes of the Christian church through biblical perspective. One thing Pastor makes very clear is that we are all God's children, and no one should be shunned into excepting his love and understanding his word.  All things said in this episode do not reflect the overall views of The Kenilworth Baptist Church or Pastor Lawrence Taylor. This message is provided through the word of God and translated through Pastor Taylor. 

Leviticus 18:22 ~ You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 ~ If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Jude 1:7 ~ Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

Romans 1:26-28 ~ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Mark 10:6-9 ~ But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

WE'RE BACK!!

                             After an unfortunate break Pastor Lawrence Taylor is back to drop weekly knowledge using the word of God and his devotion to it philosophy. On this weeks episode Pastor discusses "Juneteenth". He touches on some historical information and explains the status of slavery throughout human history.



                                  " Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.
