Character building

Character building starts the moment you envision in your mind what you want to be - not who, what. Who God wants you to be.

Character takes years to build - about 10 years. But the first 50% is accomplished in the first second when you make your mind to build your character. The other 50% is every other time you come face to face with that decision and maintain your stand. At the end of that 10 years, your character has been shaped out of nothing but that Continual Decision that you have made over the years becoming a habit so unmovable that it is now accepted as your character.

Every now and then we fail. Every now and then we make that wrong decision. Every now and then, we fail to build that character that we desire to be. That wrong decision can cost us another 1 year of making the right decisions. Because it is so easily broken down and so hard to build - like trust.

What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Passover

Tell them about how Easter started — the goddess Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility, and how it represents Easter eggs and bunnies and why we don’t celebrate it.  And that we celebrate Passover with lambs because Jesus is the Lamb of God and celebrated the Passover. And how Passover was taken away because the Jews were blamed for killing Jesus so everything Jewish was removed by Constantine - including all the other important feasts we were supposed to celebrate. Although the Apostle Paul himself celebrated the Passover (1 Cor 5:6-8), and said Christ is our Passover, asking us to “Keep the Feast of the Passover”. The rest of the early church kept the Passover. So we celebrate the Passover with Jesus as the Lamb, and the afikoman that was hidden signifies Jesus body that was broken because it was the afikoman that Jesus took and said, “this is my body that was broken..”. It was ‘after the feast’ that he ‘took the bread’. That bread is called the afikoman — the last bread af...
