Melamine Contaminated Milk from China

It’s been in the news lately and continues to buzz around: The Melamine contamination. In fact, Chinese hospitals are fighting to save the lives of some of the 1,253he 1,253
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
 

WP-Bible plugin babies who have fallen sick after they were fed milk powder contaminated with an industrial chemical used to make plastic cups and saucers. Our own authorities already have recalled and removed milk products from China. And Magnolia, Inc., on Thursday said all its dairy and milk products are “safe for consumption” amid contamination concerns on China-made food products. But let me tell you of a milk that can never be contaminated, and which has far more nutrients than any other milk – the milk of God’s Word. Its benefits are eternal. It doesn’t go bad. “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”

God’s Word has life

God’s Word has life, gives life, and nourishes life. We should have appetites for the Word just like hungry newborn babes! We should want the pure Word, unadulterated, because this alone can help us grow. When I was a child, I did not like to drink milk (I’m a chocolate guy!), so my mother used to add various syrups and powders to make my milk tastier. None of them really ever worked. It is sad when Christians have no appetite for God’s Word, but must be “fed” religious entertainment instead. As we grow, we discover that the Word is milk for babes, but also strong meat for the mature (1 Cor. 3:1-41 Cor. 3:1-4
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
3 ¹ And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. ² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. ³ For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? divisions: or, factions as men: Gr. according to man? ⁴ For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. ¹² For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. ¹³ For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. is skillful: Gr. hath no experience ¹⁴ But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. of full age: or, perfect use: or, an habit, or, perfection

Lay Aside Wrong Attitudes

Sometimes children have no appetite because they have been eating the wrong things. Peter warned his readers to “lay aside” certain wrong attitudes of heart that would hinder their appetite and spiritual growth. “Malice” means wickedness in general. “Guile” is craftiness, using devious words and actions to get what we want. Of course, if we are guilty of malice and deceit, we will try to hide it; and this produces “hypocrisies.” Often the cause of ill will is envy, and one result of envy is slander, conversation that tears the other person down. If these attitudes and actions are in our lives, we will lose our appetite for the pure word of God. If we stop feeding on the Word, we stop growing, and we stop enjoying (“tasting”) the grace that we find in the Lord. When Christians are growing in the Word, they are peacemakers, not troublemakers, and they promote the unity of the church.

What have you been drinking lately? The pure milk of God’s Word or the polluted and contaminated milk the world offers? Drink on God’s milk and you will never be the same again!

Moses was a bit on the impulsive side….

Can you think of a time in your life when you acted impulsively and came to regret it? Maybe you bought a thing on impulse and were sorry afterward. Maybe it was that contract you signed without reading it carefully. Maybe it was that business deal you entered into that you should have taken more time to consider. Whatever the decision may have been, you regretted it later.

I have discovered that God’s timing is just as important as God’s will. In fact, the Bible talks a lot about timing. Ecclesiastes 3:1Ecclesiastes 3:1
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
3 ¹ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  

WP-Bible plugin says, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven”. The Bible talks about a man of God who had really bad timing. If this man were in a race, he would have been the one to come out of nowhere, take the lead, and then suddenly self-destruct. The man I’m speaking of is Moses. Although Moses was one of the greatest men of God, he also was a man who had some serious setbacks and committed serious sin. It is worth noting that, along with Saul of Tarsus, Moses is one of the men God used who actually was guilty of murder.

Moses was a bit on the impulsive side. But being impulsive has its drawbacks, and Moses’ impulsiveness brought some devastating results. As the children of Israel cried out to God for deliverance, enter Moses, the man of God. When he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew he in turn killed the Egyptian. Clearly, the Lord had not told Moses to do this. Moses probably thought that his fellow Hebrews would be grateful for what he had done, but things didn’t turn out that way. Everyone knew what he did, but no one applauded. When Pharaoh heard what had happened, Moses had to flee for his life. Off he went, into the wilderness. God wants us to do His will in His way in His timing. Moses was a leader in training, but he wasn’t ready yet. He had lost his people. He had lost his reputation. But he had not lost God. What looked like the end was actually the beginning. Forty years later, God appointed Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. What Moses did not realize was that God had been preparing him during that time. Notice what God said to him: “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”.

What was God saying? I am the God of ordinary men who have accomplished some extraordinary things. There is hope for you. I am not just the God of Abraham. I am not just the God of Isaac and Jacob. I am the God of Moses. I am calling you. I am giving you a second chance. God still uses ordinary people today. Even people who have made mistakes. Even people who have sinned. Maybe you are in a situation right now in which you can identify with Moses. Can I make a suggestion? Confess your sins to God. Deal with them and learn from your mistakes. And know this: God can still use you. He gives second chances. Maybe you need one today.

Vision:

To be an extension ministry of the church committed to equip and challenge our young people to be living examples of the Great Commandment and Great Commission.

Mission Statement:

• Devoting ourselves to Christ
• Connecting our lives with the truth
• Building up and Serving one another
• Reaching out in Love

Purpose:

DEVOTING…We desire to know Jesus in a deep, personal way. Because we believe all that the Bible says about God’s love for us, we want to love Him back by worshiping Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

CONNECTING…We desire to stay strong in this new relationship with Jesus by studying His Word verse by verse. The Bible is God’s love letter to us and it teaches us how to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

BUILDING…We desire to build unity among the youth. Jesus said that people would know you are my disciples by your love for one another. God not only wants us to connect with Him, but also with our peers. We do this by giving special time for fellowship at all our gatherings.

SERVING….We desire to follow the example of Jesus…He did not come to this earth to be served but to serve and to give His life for others. God has given each of us a special gift/talent to serve others with and we desire to develop these gifts among the youth for the glory of God.

REACHING… We desire to tell the world of God’s great love. Jesus told us to go out and share the Good News. We do this by encouraging the youth to reach out to their friends, teaching them how to share their faith and giving them opportunities to minister through outreaches and missions trips.

Dubbed as the Boulevard Children’s Church, the name comes from the area where the ministry is often held, the Rizal Boulevard, a seaside park in Dumaguete city. Every Saturday evening, scores of children, ages 3 to 12 years old, come together for a time of songs, Bible stories and snacks. Some of these kids, now teenagers, are actively helping the ministry.
