				<title>Praise the Lord Everyone!
Dear sisters, my name is Laura Anderson I am a mother 4 adult children and 8 grandchildren ages 17 almost 18-4yr. My eldest son Daniel is our forever baby and is total care we don’t have a wheelchair vehicle so we are Homebound we never leave, my son and I are struggling with health issues and are alone. We do not have visitors exctMothers day and some November visits, with not knowing if the Lord was taking Daniel we also had family over to celebrate both birthdays this February. I rarely receive phone calls. Daniel and I only have our Best friend Jesus and extremely grateful and blessed!!! We do severely lack in human interaction, verbally as well as physical social, trust when those grand babies are here we get lots of snuggles &#x1f970;. I know most families are busy, if any sister here who shares the vast Love of our Lord and Savior..if you can please reach out maybe we can schedule phone calls to talk sometime. Also any bible studies that we could share like face time i would love love that. May the Lords peace be with you. &#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#x1f64f;&#x1f3fc;&#x2764;&#xfe0f;</title>

				<title>Hi Lex, just a though on the &quot;Willing Heart&quot; sermon. You said you could not find anything in common with the way the apostles were called. Think of it this way... There was no one to mentor you to become a pastor, still God picked you and guided you. The apostles were all rejected by rabbis and had to revert to doing their fathers&#039; crafts (like fishermen), yet Yeshua picked them and taught them. That&#039;s me thinking aloud</title>

				<title>When someone rejects God, you can try to be a friend, listen without judgment, and pray for them. You can also share your faith and love, but don’t try to force your beliefs on them.
Be patient

Remember that Jesus’ job is to change people’s hearts, not yours.
Be patient with people who have different worldviews than you.

Be a friend Listen to understand them, Let them know you care, and Ask the Lord for courage and faith.
Share your faith Share your love for them, Be honest with them about your concerns, and Share the Scriptures.
Pray for them

Ask God to help them face what they’re doing.
Ask God to help them turn to Christ.
Ask God to help them find forgiveness and new life.

Don’t give up

Some people may not change, but they might become followers of Jesus in the future.
They might become better ambassadors of the Gospel because they understand the mindset of people who don’t believe.
Below are some of what I was shown regarding these type of people a lot is in Proverbs.

Proverbs
Chapter 11

Proverbs
Chapter 26

Proverbs
Chapter 29

Proverbs
Chapter 17

Proverbs
Chapter 23

Proverbs
Chapter 14

Proverbs
Chapter 12

1 John
Chapter 4

Proverbs
Chapter 24

James
Chapter 1

Proverbs
Chapter 28

Hebrews
Chapter 10 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Revelation
Chapter 3 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Ephesians
Chapter 4 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Proverbs
Chapter 4 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Matthew
Chapter 6 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Jeremiah
Chapter 29 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.</title>

				<title>Question
What is the worm that will not die in Mark 9:48?
translate
worm will not die
Answer


Jerusalem’s ancient garbage dump—a place called Gehenna—was illustrative of the ceaseless agonies of hell. This dump was on the south side of Jerusalem. In Old Testament times, children had been sacrificed to idols there (2 Kings 23:10); in Jesus’ day, it was a place burning with constant fires to consume the waste that was thrown there. The material burned there included everything from household trash to animal carcasses to convicted criminals (Jeremiah 7:31–33). Needless to say, the Jews considered Gehenna a cursed place of impurity and uncleanness.

The word translated “hell” in Mark 9:43 is the Greek word Gehenna, which comes from the Hebrew name for a place called the “Valley of Hinnom.” Jesus uses this place to paint a vivid image of what hell is like. The Jewish people often associated the Valley of Hinnom with spiritual death.

In Mark 9:48, when Jesus says, “Where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched” (ESV), He is quoting from Isaiah 66:24: “They will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.” In both texts the word translated as “worm” literally means “grub” or “maggot.” A maggot would have an obvious association with a dump like Gehenna where dead bodies are thrown; however, the maggot Christ speaks of “will not die.”

Taken at face value, this text is one of the most horrific descriptions of what hell is like. The thought of eternal torment, likened to maggots eating away at a rotting corpse, is undoubtedly ghastly. Hell is so awful that Christ said, figuratively speaking, it’s better to cut off the hand that causes you to sin than to end up in hell (Matthew 5:30).

Mark 9:48 does not mean that there are literal worms in hell or that there are worms that live forever; rather, Jesus is teaching the fact of unending suffering in hell—the “worm” never stops causing torment. Notice that the worm is personal. Both Isaiah 66:24 and Mark 9:48 use the word their to identify the worm’s owner. The sources of torment are attached each to its own host.

Some Bible scholars believe the “worm” refers to a man’s conscience. Those in hell, being completely cut off from God, exist with a nagging, guilty conscience that, like a persistent worm, gnaws away at its victim with a remorse that can never be mitigated. No matter what the word worm refers to, the most important thing to be gained from these words of Christ is that we should do everything in our power to escape the horrors of hell, and there is only one thing to that end—receiving Jesus as the Lord of our lives (John 3:16).

In the Bible, God refers to people as worms in the following passages:

    Job 25:6: The phrase &quot;man is a worm&quot; appears in this verse. 

Psalm 22:6: The phrase &quot;man is a worm&quot; appears in this verse. 
Isaiah 41:14: In this verse, God calls Jacob a worm. 

The term &quot;worm&quot; is used figuratively in these passages to symbolize the weakness and insignificance of humans. It also serves as a challenge to the &quot;pride of life&quot;, which is a sin that Adam&#039;s children have inherited. 
Explanation
The idea that people are worms is known as &quot;worm theology&quot;. It describes how sin dehumanizes people and destroys their beauty. The imagery of worms is intended to make people aware of the effects of sin. 
22:6 6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. (Psalm 22:6); Isa. 41:14 14Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.</title>

				<title>“Let each esteem others better than himself.” 

 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.  Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.  Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:1-5 NKJV</title>
