Respect 07/22/2017

Respect respect Good people build their lives on the foundation of respect. As we read the book of Judges we see that the Benjimites lost the respect for life. By taking the concubine and defiling her to the point of death. Her master the levite made it so gruesome be dividing her body and sending it to the 12 tribes. They came down to Judge the tribe of Benjamins. We should respect life itself. Because life is short. As we see Naomi's family death visited them quickly. God is the giver of life. He is the Creator we ar made in the image of God. We have a body soul and spirit. When we get saved we become quicken by his spirit. Christ served others and those that respect life serve others. We respect life of all living things As we see this Family goes through a famine food and water becomes of most importance. the mysteries of life well never understand until we are in heaven. 6. So we have to be people of honesty and integrity in all things. Four Pillars of respect Manners we will be known by the way we treat others. so we have to treat people with respect and as partners. treat people with integrity. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12 KJV Language A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:45 KJV “The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.” Ecclesiastes 10:12 KJV “And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.” Ruth 4:14-15 KJV http://bible.com/1/rut.4.14-15.kjv Honoring the rules “Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth–lehem:” Ruth 4:1-11 KJV Obeying rules means we want to play fair Rules are not made to be broken and everyone one is not doing it The rules is there because man can become self centered and this keep us to be considerate of others.

When God created Adam he gave him a task to name every living creature. God wanted man to be busy for him. If things were to be accomplish Adam had to focus on the task at hand. After naming all the creatures God saw the need for Adam for a help meet. No one should be alone. Eve was to help meet Adams needs Man has needs When a young man grows up. He works hard for the hope of ones approval. It is good for a wife to approve and praise her man! It will go along way for him. Respect: when a wife show no respect toward her husband. Of who he is and what he stands for than the man feels that he cannot trust his wife. A one flesh connection. Man needs to feel that his wife intimacy is connecting with him. This is where men and women are different. Women love the communication to connect and man. The need for that sexual connection is a must for the man. A man needs Charity. A man is taught not to cry don't be weak to keep it all together. But in reality we do have times of weakness and do fall apart. We cannot show these to others but a wife must be there for a shoulder to cry on and not be judge or looked down on. But a crutch to help him back up. A time to refrain man has to get alone to think to gather his thoughts this could be with his friends a hobby or just a time alone do suffercate him with jealousy behavior Touch him man wants to be touched kiseed pressed upon, Security marriage is a commitment and a man must know you are in for the long haul. Need for a help meet to help man accomplish his task for God. There came a point in Adams life that God saw his need for a help meet. So he gave him a women and ADAM CALLED HER eve. Genesis 2:20 but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. I will make him a help One of the stereo types for man is that he will not ask for help. /episode/index/show/ybarraanthony/id/4954645
