Labor of the Field first night.....

The new location on west market street was well received and the parking was better. I don't think there was a single problem last night. Dr. Sam Duncan delivered an outstanding message on Judges 16th Chapter. Samson's story has certainly never been told like that. I loved the application title. "don't let sin make an ass out of you"
if you read the chapter you will get the title. Monday night 7pm at LBC we will be meeting with outreach leaders about the Christmas project for the homeless and needy kids. Hope to see you there.

You can follow my tweets on twitter there is a link on this page.

Until next time....

Ministry Update - Christmas Project

Monday October 19th at 7pm we will hold a meeting at Lakeview Baptist 1431 Old Trail dr. Anderson, SC, for persons and outreach ministries who want to help with collecting new and used toys for needy and homeless children.

For about 16 years I was associated with A Christmas Project called Officer Mac Toy Telethon. If you were associated with us in the telethon, come out to the meeting. A local teachers aide has started the project. Labor of the Field is getting involved.

For the person who requested information on Tongues

Read carefully and in Context... Study it out..for yourself... Pray and Seek God's guidance... Don't be blown about by every wind or doctrine man wants to pass to you. Sola Scriptura - Let God be TRUE.... John said that we should Know... 1 John

1Co 12:1-30
(1) Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
(2) Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
(3) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
(4) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
(5) And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
(6) And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
(7) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
(8) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
(9) To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
(10) To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
(11) But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
(12) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
(13) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
(14) For the body is not one member, but many.
(15) If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
(16) And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
(17) If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
(18) But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
(19) And if they were all one member, where were the body?
(20) But now are they many members, yet but one body.
(21) And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
(22) Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
(23) And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
(24) For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
(25) That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
(26) And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
(27) Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
(28) And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
(29) Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
(30) Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?


To another divers kinds of tongues; whereby such could speak all manner of languages, which they had never learned, understood, and been used to: this Christ promised his disciples, when he sent them into all the world to preach the Gospel, Mar_16:16 and so anticipates an objection they otherwise might have made, how they should be able to preach it to all, so as to be understood, when they were not acquainted with the languages of all nations; an instance of which we have in the apostles on the day of Pentecost, Act_2:4 and which continued many years after with them, and other persons in the churches; see 1Co_13:2.

To another the interpretation of tongues (Languages); one that had this gift, when a discourse was delivered in an unknown tongue (Language unknown to the People), used to stand up and interpret it to the people, without which it could be of no use to them; and sometimes a person was gifted to speak in an unknown tongue, and yet was not capable of interpreting his discourse truly and distinctly in that the people understood: see 1Co_14:13. The rules to be observed in such cases, and by such persons, see in 1Co_14:27.

Study - Learn - Grow

Can God gift a person to speak in a language he does not understand?
God can do anything except Lie and Fail. He can certainly do this. Are people correct in teaching people to speak in "Tongues". I can only speak from experience here. I spent some time in the "Church of God" I know a teaching there that states in it's teachings about this: "Speaking in Tongues as the Spirit of God gives the utterance" God does not gift people to teach people to speak in a language that God himself is supposed to gift them with in the moment they are to use it. Therefore there are those who claim to be speaking on God's behalf in an unknown tongue that is not of God. Does this thought or experience mean that God in HIS Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence cannot do this? Certainly not. If GOD chooses to make an Iron Axe head float, split the red sea in half, make a dumb ass speak ( he is still doing this today;), he can certainly gift someone to speak in a language they don't know or understand and use someone that God has gifted with that known language to interpret it for the benefit of the church there. Acts upper room. Many persons from different countries and dialects heard the message that day in their own language - Tongue. end of point. See for yourself from the pages of the Word of God. One thing is a fact. When we see Jesus we are going to realize that we personally were not theologically 100% correct on every theological thought.

A Study in the Word... a deeper view..... Sola Scriptura..

I have posted this chapter in Leviticus along with the Strongs concordance of the Bible Numbers for each word from the Original Language. This concordance was done with the Original Hebrew Language in which the Old Testament was translated from.
Text used is Textus receptus - the recieved text. The Levitical Law was written by Moses as God gave it.
Remember: Jesus said, "Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth form the mouth of God." See the Context in this passage - Chapter and Verse.Mat 4:4 (4) ButG1161 heG3588 answeredG611 and said,G2036 It is written,G1125 ManG444 shall notG3756 liveG2198 byG1909 breadG740 alone,G3441 butG235 byG1909 everyG3956 wordG4487 that proceedethG1607 out ofG1223 the mouthG4750 of God.G2316
HIS WORD IS: Inerrant, Infallible, Inspired word of God. Let God be True....

Bible Study Topic this week as we study 1 John

1Jn 1:1-4
(1) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
(2) (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
(3) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
(4) And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Remember to read the Bible in its context......

In the last few days I have been approached by persons seeking what Hod says about certain issues. They always ask me, Pastor what does the bible say about... I believe that I can give you scripture reference but you need to read and study it for yourself. Their is no benefit to you being convicted by mans words but there is eternal benefit to conviction by Gods word. When you read John 3:16 its important to you to understand what it means. When you read Leviticus please take the time to understand who God is talking to, the circumstances surrounding his revelation to them and how they reacted. Then look at it from today. Again the Great Questions remain. Does Gods word mean what is says or says what it means? and What does it mean to me. Follow Rules 1. and 2.. Rule 1: There is a God. 2. You ain't him!

Here is some info to clear and help those working on what abomination is in the Bible. Hope it helps.

Strongs exhaustive concordance of the Bible says:

AbominationABOMINA'TION, n. 1. Extreme hatred; detestation.
2. The object of detestation, a common signification in scripture.
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord. Prov 15.
3. Hence, defilement, pollution, in a physical sense, or evil doctrines and practices, which are moral defilements, idols and idolatry, are called abominations. The Jews were an abomination to the Egyptians; and the sacred animals of the Egyptians were an abomination to the Jews. The Roman army is called the abomination of desolation. Mat 24:13. In short, whatever is an object of extreme hatred, is called an abomination.


Found in Leviticus at:

Lev 18:6-18(6) None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.(7) The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.(8) The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.(9) The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.(10) The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. (11) The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.(12) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.(13) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.(14) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.(15) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.(16) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.(17) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.(18) Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.

Lev 18:20(20) Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.

Lev 18:22-23(22) Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.(23) Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
