Chapter 6 - "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hands is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. Meaning: It means just as it says, we are not to make a big scene when we do something to help the needy, we are to do it quietly without praise from men, from whom we have no hope. Our hope is in the Lord, and that's what this passage is all about, it's about Faith. Our Faith touches others in a more profound way when we share with them in a one on one basis.
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to, they have their reward. But you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
For if you forgive men their trespasses,your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not frgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Meaning: This is again to show that if you pray in the silence of your home, that you have Faith. God notices how we serve Him, and if all we do is seek recognition from the world, then God is not pleased, you are placing more faith in men than you are God. So pray in silence to show God that you truly believe in Him.
"Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have thier reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Meaning: It is Faith. That you love the Lord with all your heart, all your strength, and all your soul.
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth., where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaqven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Meaning: If you love the Lord, then earthly things have no meaning, such as fancy cars, million perhaps more than million-dollar homes, expensive jewelry, things that would take precedence over the Eternal reward that God has in store for those who love Him. This earth is going to pass away friends, Heaven and Hell are going to last forever, time immortal.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be fulll of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!' Meaning: We are to be examples of Our Lord, and this shows to all who see this light in us. There's a song called - This little light of mine! A perfect illustration of the Christian walk.
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Meaning: You cannot serve or worship both God and money, just as Jesus described earlier, 'to lay up your treasures in heaven. Where moth and dust do not destroy.'
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are younot of more value than they? Which of yu by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Meaning: I think verse 33 sums this passage and all of chapter 6.
Chapter 7 - "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you ill be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will b measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your won eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck out of your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye. Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Meaning: What Jesus is illustrating here, is that we are to study God's Word so that we may be better equipped to handle any situation, and that we base our judgments on the Holy Writ. The illustration about dogs and swine, is talking about Atheists, and those who have been given over to a reprobate mind ... to try and share the Word of God with these folks is useless, and is blasphemous to this precious Word of God. The world will always try and make it sound like foolishness. But the Word speaks for itself, in which ii backs itself up, front to back, back to front.
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Meaning: Jesus is describing to the people that earthly morals are evil, they are corrupt, and have no hope in them. And the only thing that will make a difference in this world is showing others how to live from God's Word, especially the children. Parents should be showing their children how to live Holy and righteous lives, instead of video games that will lead them to a life of depression and evil thinking.
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and ther are few who find it." Meaning: Here, Jesus is saying that there's only one way to heaven, and that is through the teaching of this book. That's why it's imperative that we continually fast and pray for direction that we not be drawn to the world.
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad ree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear had fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Meaning: Anyone whose doctrine or belief system deviates from this book, is not teaching truth. There's only one way to the Father and that's through Jesus Christ, 'No man can come to the Father except through Me.' Jesus said.
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Now everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." Meaning: Our bodies are to be temples of the Lord, for God does not dwell in temples made with hands.....His temple is in the hearts of those who love Him, and the only way we will have our Eternal reward is through a dedicated relationship with Jesus Christ, without sin.
So, It's clear to anyone who has an understanding of the bible and Jesus message that He never condoned, or supported sodomy. That Obama dismisses Paul's message against homosexuality in the book of Romans, shows just how little he knows and "understands" of Jesus life and what He taught.
This is all the more reason to assume that Obama's early lif is showing a more negative response to the majority of Americans who identify as 'Christian,; and rightly so. He identifies with Jesus, but resents those whom Jesus appointed to do His work in spreading the Gospel, as they risked life and limb, all they had to win souls to Christ. Most if not all of them became martyrs on their missions. It's too bad that Obama can't see the truth for what it truly is.
The liberal Media is clearly going along with Obama in his promotion for a deviant society.
That is the world for you, folks.
Satan is in control of this world ... just temporarily though.
Jesus called him, 'The Prince of this world.' or 'Prince of darkness.'
Satan's ways are attractive to those who are lost and living in darkness; he delivers a message in which he appeals to the flesh, through unnatrual desires...no doubt, this is true ... for we see a society riddled with promiscuity here in America -- Two, three, perhaps four men living with one woman; having drunken, dope snorting orgies ... literally wasting their life away.
Our TVs have become places where young childrens' minds are subjected to drugs, violence, vulgarity and unlimited, uncensored sex.
Our schools are possibly worst of all; in which they are taught by their "teachers" what they deeem an "education." Homosexuality is "ok" and have "as many partners or relationships as you want" And we know where this type of lifestyle leads ... AIDS, Gonnorhea, herpes, depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts ... the saddest thing of all, young teenage girls take their anger and frustration out on their unborn children. In most cases, however, these innocent babies are mudered for more sexual gratification. The cruelest and sickest of any practice on earth.
Indeed, a sad state of affairs. As Robert Bork wrote, 'We are headed toward Gomorrah. Ever closer ... America edges toward her doom, as each day, each hour, each minute, and each second passes us by.
This is what happens when people fail to serve God, when they fail to pray, when they fail to study their Bibles, when they fail to join hands with God's people in the Church, asking for direction and strength to overcome Satan and his evil snares.
Reach out to somebody today, and witness to them about the Love of Jesus Christ, for tomorrow holds no promise for anyone ... only those who have made that committment, have turned from their sin, and have asked Jesus Christ into their life.
God bless!

Blind faith without wisdom or intelligence. That's Jeremiah, and every other self-important, self aggrandizing christian evangelical like him.
Ye gods. Only someone as self-righteous and ingrained as Jeremiah could take beautiful, meaningful passages like these:
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you ill be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck out of your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye."
and
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?"
and render them into
Meaning: What Jesus is illustrating here, is that we are to study God's Word so that we may be better equipped to handle any situation, and that we base our judgments on the Holy Writ....those who have been given over to a reprobate mind ... to try and share the Word of God with these folks is useless.

Why is it always about the power trip and never about the compassion and goodwill with this crowd?
