David and Mephibosheth, based on the scriptures from 2 Samuel 9: By Michael Hopkins David’s Kindness to Mephibosheth The story of David and Mephibosheth is a beautiful illustration of the grace and mercy of God. It begins with King David asking, "Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?"1 . This question reveals David’s heart of compassion and his desire to honor his covenant with Jonathan, Saul’s son and David’s dear friend. A servant of Saul’s household named Ziba was summoned to appear before David. When asked if there was anyone left from Saul’s house to whom David could show God’s kindness, Ziba revealed that there was still a son of Jonathan; he was lame in both feet1 . The son’s name was Mephibosheth. Mephibosheth is Brought to David Mephibosheth was living at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar1 . Upon hearing this, King David had him brought from Lo Debar1 . When Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor1 . David greeted him by his name, "Mephibosheth!"1 . Mephibosheth replied, "At your service,"1 . David’s Promise to Mephibosheth David comforted Mephibosheth, saying, "Don’t be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table."1 . Mephibosheth, feeling unworthy, bowed down and said, "What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?"1 . Ziba’s Role in Serving Mephibosheth Then, David summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, "I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table."1 . Ziba, who had fifteen sons and twenty servants, agreed to do as the king commanded1 . Mephibosheth’s New Life And so, Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons1 . He had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth1 . Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet1 . Conclusion The story of David and Mephibosheth is a powerful testament to the kindness and faithfulness of David, and it serves as a metaphor for God’s grace towards us. Just as David showed kindness to Mephibosheth for Jonathan’s sake, God shows us kindness for Jesus’ sake. Despite our unworthiness, He invites us to dine at His table and enjoy the riches of His grace.

By Michael Hopkins Introduction The story of David and Goliath  is one of the most popular and inspiring accounts in the Bible. It’s a tale of faith, courage, and the triumph of the underdog. This story, found in the 1st Book of Samuel, Chapter 17 , teaches us that even seemingly impossible challenges can be overcome with faith in God1 . The Setting The Philistines, a powerful and warlike people, had gathered their forces for war and assembled at Sokoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Sokoh and Azekah1 . On the other side, Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, drawing up their battle line to meet the Philistines1 . The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them1 . Goliath’s Challenge From the Philistine camp emerged a champion named Goliath, from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span1 . He wore a bronze helmet, a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels, bronze greaves on his legs, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back1 . His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels1 . His shield bearer went ahead of him1 . Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, challenging them to single combat. He proposed that if an Israelite could defeat him, the Philistines would become their subjects. But if he won, the Israelites would serve the Philistines1 . On hearing Goliath’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified1 . David: The Shepherd Boy David was the son of an Ephrathite named Jesse, who was from Bethlehem in Judah1 . Jesse had eight sons, and David was the youngest1 . While Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war, David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem1 . One day, Jesse asked David to take some food to his brothers and their commander, and to bring back news of them1 . David reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry1 . As he was talking with his brothers, Goliath stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual defiance, and David heard it1 . David’s Faith and Courage David was not afraid of Goliath. He said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him”2 . Saul was hesitant, but David convinced him by recounting how he had killed a lion and a bear while protecting his father’s sheep1 . He declared, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine"1 . The Battle Armed with his faith, a sling, and five smooth stones from the brook, David confronted Goliath1 . As Goliath moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him1 . He took out a stone, slung it, and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground1 . Thus, David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him1 . The Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran1 . Conclusion The story of David and Goliath is a powerful testament to the strength of faith and the power of God. It teaches us that with faith, courage, and God’s help, even the most formidable of challenges can be overcome. As David said, "it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands"3 .

By Michael Hopkins Introduction The story of Daniel in the lion’s den is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. It’s a tale of faith, courage, and divine intervention, found in the sixth chapter of the Book of Daniel. The Background Daniel was a Jewish prophet who lived during the time of the Babylonian captivity. He was known for his wisdom and ability to interpret dreams, which earned him a high position in the Babylonian and later, the Persian court. “Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.”  (Daniel 6:3, ESV) The Conspiracy Against Daniel Jealous of Daniel’s favor with the king, the other officials conspired against him. Knowing Daniel’s faithfulness to his God, they manipulated King Darius into signing a decree that for thirty days, anyone who prayed to any god or man other than the king would be thrown into the lion’s den. “Then these men said, ‘We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.’”  (Daniel 6:5, ESV) Daniel’s Unwavering Faith Despite the decree, Daniel continued to pray to God openly. When King Darius learned that Daniel had broken the law, he was distressed but felt compelled to follow through with the punishment. “When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.”  (Daniel 6:10, ESV) Daniel in the Lion’s Den Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den, but he remained unharmed. King Darius, who was fond of Daniel, was greatly distressed and fasted all night, hoping for Daniel’s safety. “Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king declared to Daniel, ‘May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!’”  (Daniel 6:16, ESV) Divine Intervention and Daniel’s Deliverance The next morning, King Darius rushed to the lion’s den and was overjoyed to find Daniel unharmed. Daniel proclaimed that God had sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths because he was found blameless before God and the king. “Then Daniel said to the king, ‘O king, live forever! My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.'”  (Daniel 6:21-22, ESV) Conclusion The story of Daniel in the lion’s den is a powerful testament to the faithfulness of God and the power of prayer. Despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds, Daniel’s faith never wavered, and God delivered him from certain death. This story serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can trust in God’s protection and provision. “So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.”  (Daniel 6:28, ESV) This story continues to inspire millions around the world, reminding us of the power of faith and the importance of staying true to one’s convictions, even in the face of adversity. It’s a timeless tale that resonates with people of all ages, teaching us about courage, integrity, and unwavering faith. I hope you find this article helpful and inspiring.

Introduction The book of Amos is one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. Amos was not a prophet by profession, but a shepherd and a caretaker of sycamore-fig trees1 . However, he was chosen by God to deliver a powerful message to the people of Israel. The passage Amos 7:10-17 is a significant part of this prophetic book, where Amos confronts Amaziah, the priest of Bethel1 . The Confrontation between Amos and Amaziah In Amos 7:10-17, Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, accuses Amos of conspiring against Jeroboam, the king of Israel1 . He claims that the land cannot bear all of Amos’s words1 . This accusation was based on Amos’s prophecy that Jeroboam would die by the sword and that Israel would go into exile1 . Amaziah orders Amos to leave Israel and go back to Judah to earn his bread and prophesy there1 . He commands Amos not to prophesy anymore at Bethel, as it is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom1 . Amos’s Response to Amaziah Amos responds to Amaziah’s accusations and commands by stating that he was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet1 . He explains that he was a shepherd and also took care of sycamore-fig trees1 . However, the Lord took him from tending the flock and commanded him to prophesy to the people of Israel1 . Amos then delivers the word of the Lord to Amaziah. He criticizes Amaziah for telling him not to prophesy against Israel and to stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac1 . Amos prophesies that Amaziah’s wife will become a prostitute in the city, his sons and daughters will fall by the sword, his land will be divided, and he will die in a pagan country1 . Furthermore, he reiterates that Israel will surely go into exile1 . Conclusion The passage Amos 7:10-17 is a powerful narrative of a shepherd turned prophet who bravely speaks out against the priest of Bethel. Despite facing accusations and commands to stop prophesying, Amos stands firm in his mission to deliver God’s message to the people of Israel. This passage serves as a reminder of the courage and determination required to speak truth to power, even in the face of opposition and threats.

By Michael Hopkins Article on Abraham and the three strangers, with references to scriptures: In the book of Genesis, we find the story of Abraham  and the three strangers . This story is a testament to Abraham’s faith and his exemplary hospitality. One day, as Abraham sat at the entrance to his tent during the heat of the day, he looked up and saw three men standing nearby. He hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground, showing great respect (Genesis 18:1-2). Abraham said, “ My lord, if I have found favor in your eyes, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant ” (Genesis 18:3-5). The men agreed, and Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, asking her to prepare three measures of fine flour and bake some bread. He also ran to the herd, selected a choice, tender calf, and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. Then he brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared and set these before them (Genesis 18:6-8). While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. One of the men then asked Abraham where his wife Sarah was. He replied, “She’s in the tent.” Then the LORD said, “ I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son ” (Genesis 18:9-10). This story is not just about hospitality; it’s about faith . Abraham welcomed these strangers, not knowing they were angels of God. His actions remind us of the importance of showing kindness to strangers and the blessings that can come from it. In Hebrews 13:2, we are reminded, “ Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it .” Abraham’s encounter with the three strangers is a powerful lesson in faith and hospitality that continues to inspire us today.

🌟 Let’s explore the beautiful theme of God’s love through Scripture. 📖 1. God’s Nature as Love: The Bible declares that God is love itself. In 1 John 4:8, it says, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” His love is not conditional; it’s freely given and unchanging. 2. God’s Love for Humanity: Romans 5:8  reminds us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God’s love is sacrificial and extends even to those who don’t deserve it. John 3:16  speaks of God’s immense love: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” 3. Our Response to God’s Love: 1 John 4:19  says, “We love because he first loved us.” Our love for others flows from experiencing God’s love. John 15:13  reveals the depth of love: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” 4. God’s Everlasting Love: Jeremiah 31:3  assures us, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” God’s love endures forever. Zephaniah 3:17  paints a vivid picture: “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” 5. Perfect Love Casts Out Fear: 1 John 4:18  says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.” God’s love dispels our fears. Remember, God’s love is boundless, unmerited, and transformative. It’s the heartbeat of our faith journey. 🙏💕 If you ever doubt, turn to these verses and be reminded of His unwavering love!

His birth is celebrated by Christians every year on December 25th as Christmas, although the exact date is not known. Jesus was raised in a Jewish family with Mary as his mother and Joseph, a carpenter, as his fatherly figure1. Public Ministry At about the age of 30, Jesus began his public ministry. After being baptized by John the Baptist. His ministry lasted approximately three years and included teaching, performing miracles, and gathering disciples (Matthew 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20).

He emphasized the importance of loving one’s neighbor and even one’s enemies, a radical teaching at the time. The miracles attributed to him, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, and feeding the multitudes, were signs of his divine authority and compassion for humanity2. Death and Resurrection The climax of Jesus’ life was his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection.

The Name and Its Significance **Jehovah** is a name that holds profound significance in many religious traditions. It is a Latinization of the Hebrew יְהֹוָה (Yəhōwā), one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), which is the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament⁴. This name is considered one of the seven names of God in Judaism and is also recognized in Christianity as a form of God's name. The Biblical Roots The origins of the name Jehovah can be traced back to the ancient scriptures. In the Bible, Jehovah is identified as the true God, the Creator of all things (Revelation 4:11). Notable prophets such as Abraham and Moses worshipped Him, and Jesus himself referred to Jehovah as His Father (Genesis 24:27; Exodus 15:1, 2; John 20:17). The Psalms declare Jehovah as the God "of all the earth" (Psalm 47:2)⁵. Jehovah's Witnesses and Their Beliefs Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christian denomination, hold the name Jehovah in special regard. They believe in honoring Jehovah, the God of the Bible and the Creator of all things. They strive to imitate Jesus Christ and are proud to be called Christians. Members of this faith actively engage in helping people learn about the Bible and God’s Kingdom, which is why they are known as Jehovah's Witnesses². The Name's Practical Value The name Jehovah is not just a historical or theological term; it carries practical value for believers today. Many find comfort and strength in the name, using it in prayer and worship. It serves as a reminder of God's promises and his role as a protector and provider for his followers. Conclusion Jehovah is a name that transcends time and culture, representing a divine presence that has been worshipped and revered for millennia. Whether through personal faith, scholarly study, or communal worship, the name Jehovah continues to inspire and guide those who seek a deeper understanding of the divine. “The Divine Name: Unveiling Jehovah in Scripture” The name Jehovah holds profound significance in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is a name that encapsulates the divine attributes and serves as a powerful symbol of God’s presence and authority. Let us explore the biblical references where this sacred name appears in the King James Version (KJV). 1. Psalms 83:18"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." In this verse, the psalmist acknowledges God’s supremacy by emphasizing that His name—JEHOVAH—stands alone as the highest authority over the entire earth. 2. Isaiah 12:2"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation." Isaiah extols the Lord as the source of salvation, emphasizing that JEHOVAH is not only the strength of His people but also their song of deliverance. 3. Exodus 6:3"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." In this passage, God reveals His name JEHOVAH to Moses, highlighting its significance as a revelation distinct from His previous interactions with the patriarchs. 4. Isaiah 26:4"Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength." Isaiah emphasizes that JEHOVAH provides unwavering strength—an eternal foundation for trust and reliance. 5. Genesis 22:14"And Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAHjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen." 6. Exodus 17:15"And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAHnissi:" 7. Judges 6:24"Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it JEHOVAHshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. Remember, the King James Version preserves the sacredness of this name, allowing us to connect with the Almighty through the ages. Other translations have removed God's name JEHOVAH in the Bible, and some translations have removed JEHOVAH all together and replaced it with the name Lord. "The More You Know"

Mental Health Facilities in Missouri: As of June 2024, Missouri has been found to be violating federal disability law by unnecessarily institutionalizing adults with mental illness in nursing homes. The U.S. Department of Justice conducted a year-and-a-half investigation and determined that systemic failures by the state led to unnecessary stays in nursing facilities for those suffering from mental illness1. Shockingly, Missouri has placed a higher proportion of adults with mental health disabilities in nursing homes compared to most other states. These individuals often don’t need to be in these institutions, even for short-term stays. Many are there against their will due to deliberate policy choices by the state1. The problems include insufficient community-based mental health services and overreliance on guardianship for those who resist treatment. Appointed guardians sometimes place individuals in nursing homes, where they may remain for years1. Ethical Considerations: Forcing any person to undergo medical procedures or treatments without their consent is a violation of their autonomy and human rights. It’s essential to prioritize informed consent and respect individual agency. The use of restraints, including needles or nails, should be carefully regulated and only employed when necessary for safety reasons. Any abuse or mistreatment is unacceptable. Money vs. Compassion: While some mental health facilities may prioritize profit, it’s crucial to recognize that not all institutions operate this way. Many dedicated professionals genuinely aim to provide compassionate care. Advocacy and awareness are essential to ensure that mental health facilities prioritize patient well-being over financial gain. Work of God: Whether mental health facilities are truly doing the work of God is subjective and varies based on individual beliefs. However, compassion, empathy, and ethical treatment align with principles found in many religious teachings. Legal Implications: If similar actions occurred in a home setting, they would indeed be subject to legal consequences, including charges related to entrapment, physical abuse, rape, and extortion. Michael Hopkins States: When you forcibly administer a needle to a person, it is akin to driving a nail through their body, much like the nails that pierced Jesus during the crucifixion. As of June 2024 in Missouri, mental health facilities continue to employ a distressing practice: they forcefully insert nails with holes drilled in the middle into people. These individuals are held down while the nail or needle is forced upon them, followed by the administration of drugs—often referred to as “chemical rape.” This situation raises critical questions. Are these facilities prioritizing profit over the well-being of their patients? Or do they genuinely believe they are fulfilling a divine purpose? It is essential to recognize that any form of coercion amounts to a form of slavery. Mental health institutions detain people against their will, releasing them only when the facility deems it appropriate. If such actions occurred within our own homes, they would undoubtedly lead to criminal charges, including entrapment, physical abuse, rape, and extortion1. The mistreatment of vulnerable individuals in mental health facilities demands urgent attention and reform. We must strive for compassionate care that respects human dignity and ensures the rights of those seeking help.12 All of the forcing things into people, is leading up to the MARK OF THE BEAST! Remember that raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting mental health initiatives are crucial steps toward improving care for those with mental health disabilities. Let us continue to work together to create a more compassionate and just society1. If you have any other questions or need further information, feel free to ask! 🌟
