“Before Honour is Humility”.
Prov. 15:33 “ The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honour. “
“Humility and reverence for the Lord will make you both Wise and honoured” [Living Bible.]
Eph. 2:9 "Not by works, so that no one can boast."
Introduction: Have you ever been really satisfied, felt really good about a certain job you have done? Have you ever been really pleased with your self?
Have you ever felt the opposite?
The Scriptures teach us that there is a real danger in boasting, in always thinking you are right, you are the best. A self-righteous attitude, a spirit of haughtiness Pride. A mister Know it all.
What about being told that you are wrong and taking it gracefully.
All men make mistakes, but only great men admit them.
The willingness nay the eagerness to be told if we are wrong, Is an element of humility that we should hold on to- right to the end of our lives.
Here some answers. What Is Replacement Theology?
"Replacement Theology is a misguided systematic approach to the Bible that has not only led millions of Christians astray over the years but it has, in addition, birthed evil of the most horrific proportions. Replacement Theology played a role in the persecution of Jews by the church through the centuries, including the Holocaust."
Replacement theology is the 'opinion' that Israel, having failed God, has been replaced by the Church. The Church is now seen as spiritual Israel and spiritual Jerusalem.
ARCHAEOLOGY SUPPORTS THE SCRIPTURES
It is a biblical principle that matters of testimony should be established by the mouths of two or three witnesses. According to Hebrew law, no person could be found guilty of an offense without properly attested evidence from witnesses, even though this law was put aside at the trial of Jesus.

God is Good ALL THE TIME !!!!
A man from Norfolk , VA called a local radio station to share this
on Sept 11th, 2003 , TWO YEARS AFTER THE TRAGEDIES OF 9/11/2001.
His name was Robert Matthews. These are his words:
A few weeks before Sept. 11th, my wife and I found out we were going to have our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit her sister. On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife a safe trip and be with her. Shortly after I said 'amen,' we both heard a loud pop and the car shook violently. We had blown out a tire.
I replaced the tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed her Flight. Both very upset, we drove home. I received a call from my father who was retired NYFD. He asked
what my wife's flight number was, but I explained that we missed the flight.
