			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-235" title="Children Trick-or-treating" src="http://mbc3.zoecitychurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/MP900422716-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<blockquote><p>13 Here is another thing you do. You cover the LORD’s altar with tears, weeping and groaning because <strong>he pays no attention</strong> to your offerings and doesn't accept them with pleasure.</p>
<p>14 You cry out, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">“Why doesn’t the LORD accept my worship?</span>”</p>
<p><strong>I’ll tell you why!</strong> Because the LORD witnessed the vows you <strong>and</strong> your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows.</p>
<p>15 <strong>Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife?</strong> In body and spirit you are his.</p>
<p><strong>AND WHAT DOES HE WANT?</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Godly children from your union.</span></p>
<p>So</p>
<ol>
<li>guard your heart;</li>
<li>remain loyal to the wife of your youth.</li>
</ol>
<p>16 “For I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">hate</span> divorce!” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">do not be unfaithful to your wife</span>.”</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Malachi 2:13-16</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>Referring to the biblical account of Abraham's unwavering faith, in <strong><em>Genesis 22</em></strong>, we read that God is pleased with Abraham's obedience by almost carrying out the sacrifice of his son, Isaac. However, after further noting, his act was a honorable act of spiritual leadership in his household, for God wants parents and adults to establish a spiritual foundation in our innocent youth.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Genesis 22:17</strong> "...<em>your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies"</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, <strong>NOT</strong> you, on the contrary,<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> your seeds shall storm the gates of hell</span>! Yet, take note that as <em>Men of God</em>, <strong>YOU</strong> are responsible for the spirituality of your child(ren) because they (your seed) will crush the ruler-ship of Satan.</p>
<p>And we know this because the LORD our God came to us through Jesus Christ. So that we may receive and believe in Christ for the purpose of becoming reborn, not physically, however, a birth that comes from God only(<strong>John 1:15</strong>). Giving you the wisdom to raise <span style="text-decoration: underline;">HIS children</span> as your inheritance.</p>
<blockquote><p>3 Children are a gift from the LORD;<br />
they are a reward from him.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-16102">4</sup> Children born to a young man<br />
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-16103">5</sup> How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!<br />
He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.</p>
<p><strong>Psalm 127: 3-5</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are there those among you who are truly wise and understanding? Then they should show it by living right and doing good things with a gentleness that comes from wisdom. ~ <strong>James 3:13 NCV</strong></p>
<p><strong>Wisdom</strong> derived from the words:</p>
<p><strong>wise-</strong> meaning to have a power of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">discernment</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">judging properly</span> as to what is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">true and right</span>; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">discernment</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">good judgement</span> based on either <span style="text-decoration: underline;">scholarly knowledge</span> or something <span style="text-decoration: underline;">learned through experiences</span>.</p>
<p>and</p>
<p><strong>-dom</strong>: (this is where the word get interesting) For the suffix <strong>-dom</strong>, which formulates a noun into a state or condition, rank or office, a collection of persons, and (my favorite) domain.</p>
<p>Therefore, <strong>wisdom</strong> <strong>is a state of being (like a position or rank), which over time is acquired</strong>. No man can have infinite wisdom overnight. Time brewed with real experiences creates a <em>wise</em> man.</p>
<p>As Christian Men, <strong>wisdom</strong> lends a hand with many major decisions. For any decision made now shall affect us for a decade.</p>
<p>If you're a seasoned Christian man, one who has been through the full effect of seeing God's mercy and grace, then you already know of <em>this</em> <strong>wisdom</strong>, more importantly, how to seek and gain <em>this</em> <strong>wisdom</strong>.</p>
<p>However, those of you who've recently accepted Christ as your Lord and saviour, still may find yourself at a fork in the road and ask: "How do I then obtain<em> this</em> <strong>wisdom</strong>?</p>
<p>If so, here's a few tips on how you can bring about and activate <em>this</em> <strong>wisdom</strong>.</p>
<p>First, each day you must <em>effectively</em> and <em>accordingly</em> plan to aclimate yourself better with the Lord by <strong>PRAYER</strong>. In doing so, you'll develop an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">intimate relationship</span> with your Father.<br />
 <br />
Second, you must <strong>READ</strong> and <strong>STUDY</strong> (meditate) the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ultimate source of wisdom</span>: <em>the Word of God</em>. Understand that Jesus and many of his disciples spoke in parables. That's ok. In this age, there are appropriate means and ways to comprehend the message.</p>
<p>Third, <strong>SACRIFICE</strong>. Luckily for us we no longer have to offer God any "physical" sacrifice. Do you know why? Well, simply put, when Jesus Christ was crucified, he shed the last drop of blood of sacrifice for us. Hallelujah! So, how do we show a display of sacrifice towards God? <strong>Tithes and offerings</strong>. It's a form of a love sacrifice or obedient worship. God <strong>ONLY</strong> asks for a tenth, 10th, 10%! Seriously, we owe God waaaaay more. But, that's the thing about God, he understands we need money to fund our ministries. So, making money is a good thing. Making a considerable amount of money is even better. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Don't skip over this <span style="color: #ff0000;">step</span>!</strong></span></p>
<p>Fourth, attend <strong>CHURCH</strong>. Only a few times out the month. <strong>SYKE!</strong> Every - I mean <strong>EVERY</strong> Sunday. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Luke 4:16</strong></span> <strong>(NLT)</strong></p>
<p> 16 When he (Jesus) came to the village of Nazareth, <em>his boyhood home</em>, he went as <strong>usual</strong> to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures.</p>
<p>Enough said.</p>
<p>Fifth, "<strong>YOU</strong> are the <strong>COMPANY</strong> who <strong>YOU</strong> keep." Re-evaluate the friendships and <strong>ASSOCIATIONS</strong> you interact with.</p>
<p>Last God-bit:</p>
<p><strong>Read over this list. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Write them down. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Study and Meditate on them. </strong></p>
<p><strong><img title="Wisdom" src="http://mbc3.zoecitychurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Wisdom-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>Then LIVE by them.</strong></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Day in Their Shoes; Wandering SOLES, The first project to be featured as part of the ONE campaign is a shoe drive. The active mission here is to sponsor 100 Feet by Christmas day. Through this project we have an opportunity to help be a blessing to Atlanta's homeless and less fortunate by donating our old shoes and clothing items we no longer wear/use. If you'd like to help out, leave a comment. All it takes is ONE person to stand up and make a difference...so why can't it be you?</p>

<p>This is real deal information. We aren't presenting neither glam nor glitz of being a born-again.</p>
<p>Nope! </p>
<p>Life is hard. Times are rough. And even with Christ Almighty things are easily as hard and rough, but, we know how to overcome these time of test for our own tesitmony. </p>
<p>Be advised this isn't a secret cult or society. We're bold and adamant about our relationship with God. So, go tell all your boys about us because we're radical, spiritual, souled-out, kamikaze men for JESUS!!!  </p>
