Gen 5:21-24 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
It’s not about the quantity of what you have, but the quality of your existence. A life of hope, peace, love and contentment. This is a life where His love is manifested and experienced every day that it overflows with your every action. You were created to experience Jesus in your life!

The summary of the Book of Job. For easy understanding and quick report.
Job descriptions are essential for recruitment, job evaluation, performance appraisal, training and development and in grievance and disciplinary cases. This handbook is an uptodate resource to help managers to construct individualised job descriptions, giving advice on how to construct job descriptions and how to analyse jobs.
The Book of Job may be divided into two sections of prose narrative, consisting of a prologue (chapters 1–2) and an epilogue (chapter 42:7–17), and intervening poetic disputation (chapters 3–42:6). The prose narratives date to before the 6th century bce, and the poetry has been dated between the 6th and the 4th century bce.
Job had all the qualifications (blameless, upright, fear – awe of God and turned away from evil) which gained him the eligibility for “recall” by the Lord. Satan is not the Tempter, we are ourselves to blame for our weaknesses and it is also one of our weaknesses to put blame on others.
Today's SS lesson, "Living As Strangers". We Christians are to be in the world, looking to love and point people to God's grace by our examples and our genuine good deeds. We first must reject falseness (the old life) in our own lives, then we will be free to be Jesus servants by others
An overview of the book of Job, the 18th book of the Bible/OT... surveying the shape and overall content. Given at a Bible Class in Laindon on 11th December 2019
It is a wonderful debate between the main character Job, his friends and finally his teacher Eli’hu who gave him real understanding of God. Job was blameless, upright (righteous; honest, responsible and moral), one who feared God and turned away from evil. Reference to seven sons and three daughters is our “ten senses”. All of us are born with these ten children and we play the game of life thru them.
Responding to negative emotions or feelings in a Biblical way. Intended to be accompanied with verbal presentation, but still comprehensible. A sketch of a prelude to good Mental Health.
Why does God allow the righteous to suffer? By examining the account of Job and wondering about the death of James, we find that although we may not know why we suffer, it is important for us to learn through it. We are reminded that suffering provides us an opportunity for our faith to grow, that we will all die, and we are encouraged to continue in prayer. (Parts of this lesson were borrowed from Darrel Yontz.)

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
1. Lesson 6 for November 5, 2016Adapted from www.fustero.es
2. Let’s study Eliphaz response to Job’s
suffering (Job 4 y 5). Is Eliphaz’s
theology right? Was his reasoning
comforting for Job or for anyone in his
situation?
1. Productive suffering.
2. Eliphaz’s view on suffering:
• Innocents don’t suffer. Job 4:1-11.
• God’s upright character. Job 4:12-21.
• The fools’ fall. Job 5.
3. “Judge nothing before the time.”
3. “Before I was afflicted I went
astray, but now I obey your
word.” (Psalm 119:67 NIV)
PRODUCTIVE
SUFFERING
We learnt from the two first chapters of Job that
human suffering may be purposeless sometimes,
since it usually is part of a greater framework that
transcends our world; the Great Controversy.
Nevertheless, the Bible tells us of “productive”
suffering too. Sometimes God uses it to make us
think about our sinful condition so we turn to
Him.
God never causes suffering, but He uses it
sometimes to call broken hearts so they can
accept the solution God provides.
4. “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has
ever perished? Where were the upright
ever destroyed?” (Job 4:7 NIV)
Job’s friends came to comfort him, and
they remained silent for seven days.
Then Job broke the silence, but his
friends got angry about his complaints.
Job’s friends had comforted him with
their silence, but now their words showed
how insensitive they were to his
suffering.
Eliphaz basically told Job that he was a
great sinner and that’s why he was
suffering, since innocents don’t suffer.
That was not true. Nevertheless, even if
it was, that wasn’t a good moment to
point at his faults but to sympathize with
the suffering person.
INNOCENTS
DON’T SUFFER
5. “Can a mortal be more righteous than
God? Can even a strong man be more
pure than his Maker?” (Job 4:17 NIV)
Eliphaz’s speech proves that they knew
God deeply, more than just knowing
about Abraham and his descendants.
Eliphaz understood God’s upright
character (Job 4:17), the rebellion in
Heaven (Job 4:18) and the vanity of this
life (Job 4:19-21).
He explained God’s character correctly.
The problem was that he didn’t properly
understand Job’s complaint, since Job
didn’t claim that he was more upright
than God.
We may know the truth very well, and we
may be able to defend it. But that is
useless if we can’t understand the
problem of the person next to us and we
can’t show him our true love for him.
GOD’S UPRIGHT
CHARACTER
7. • “A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you
look for them, they will not be found.” (Psalm 37:10 NIV)Job 5:3
• “Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an
undeserved curse does not come to rest.” (Proverbs 26:2
NIV)
Job 5:6
• “He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and
exalted the lowly.” (Luke 1:52)Job 5:11-12
• “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For
it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their own craftiness’”
(1 Corinthians 3:19)
Job 5:13
“I myself have seen a fool taking
root, but suddenly his house was
cursed.” (Job 5:3 NIV)
Eliphaz’s words didn’t apply to Job’s situation, but his speech contains
great truths that can be found throughout the Bible.
THE FOOLS’ FALL
8. • “This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and
saved him out of all his troubles.” (Psalm 34:6)Job 5:15
• “…My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor
be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him” (Hebrews
12:5)
Job 5:17
• “Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces
but He will heal us; He has injured us but He will bind up
our wounds.” (Hosea 6:1 NIV)
Job 5:18
• “To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive
in famine.” (Psalm 33:19)Job 5:20
“I myself have seen a fool taking
root, but suddenly his house was
cursed.” (Job 5:3 NIV)
Eliphaz’s words didn’t apply to Job’s situation, but his speech contains
great truths that can be found throughout the Bible.
THE FOOLS’ FALL
9. “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will
both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of
the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.” (1 Corinthians 4:5)
Eliphaz was more focused on defending God the
way he understood Him than on showing mercy
for the fallen soul.
We live within the Great Controversy framework
like Job did, and we also suffer its
consequences. Therefore, we need compassion
and sympathy, not to be lectured.
Our judgement will be wrong if we don’t use
mercy, even if we that judgement is true. If we
judge without mercy, serious consequences will
come for us. “For judgment is without mercy to
the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy
triumphs over judgment.” (James 2:13)
“JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE TIME”
