Early this morning (2009-02-24) I received 3 Hebrew verses in a
dream, one of them the key. It seemed so clear at the time; yet I was
unable to recall it when awake. Then I sensed the Spirit saying, “<b>As
Daniel in answer to prayer recalled Nebuchadnezzar's dream plus the
interpretation, ask for the same for yourself.” </b>I did so, and
God answered.</p>

In 1955 while pastoring the Kostner Avenue Baptist Church of Chicago,
Psalm 127 became very clear to me. I used it to introduce many of our
board meetings of some 14 members. See verses 1-2 of this Psalm -
<b>“Except </b><u><b>Jehovah</b></u><b> build the house, They labor
in vain that build it; Except </b><u><b>Jehovah</b></u><b> keep the
city, The watchman wakes but in vain. </b><font style="font-size: 8pt;" size="1"><b>2</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>
It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the
bread of toil; </b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><b>For</b></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">But
the deacons and trustees of the church desired success in numbers
like other churches. God spoke to Samuel in his day when Israel
desired a king so they could be like other nations. They weren't
rejecting Samuel, but </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>God</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">!
He told Samuel to give them their way, and chose Saul as king to
satisfy them, in spite of warnings what this would mean (1 Samuel
8-12).</span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">So
God said to me - “Give them the success they want.” Within a
short time in 1953 we grew from 16 to 200 members, and then right on
to 800. But the spiritual members said - “The Little Church isn't
what it used to be!” God then encouraged me -</span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>
“I will never ask you to let down the bars again for church
standards. But you can use the parallel between what Israel wanted,

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">In 1999 Marie and I were leading
a Messianic Jewish Congregation in Tacoma WA of some 40 members. Just
before I left for a missionary trip to Romania, one of 10 board
members called a meeting of the board without notifying me. He then
presented to 2 of us his plan for the future growth of Congregation
Beth Chesed. I rebuked him for being out of order, and on my return
from Romania, found the board and myself polarized. At my suggestion
and their approval, we called in Pastor Tom Isenhart of Puget Sound
Christian Center as a mediator. To the board's dismay, he stood with
Marie and myself in not lowering the bars of God's standards so that
worldly success might be achieved. 10 board members and their
families left. This dropped our attendance from 40 to 20.</font></p>

strong missionary giving project to Israel, and well over $100,000

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I see a somewhat parallel danger
to the above - in the Messianic Jewish Congregations. Increasingly
the safeguards of Acts 15 for Gentile believers in these
congregations receive legalistic pressures for Jewish conformity.
Circumcision is not required as demanded by Judaizers of old - but
details of Jewish law-keeping in connection with the Feasts and
general daily living according to the law of Moses keeps cropping up
(Acts 15:5).</font></p>

Paul calls a “mystery” which was revealed to him, God's choice as
apostle to the Gentiles. 22 times the word “mystery” appears in
the NT, but this reference is perhaps the key one of all. Under a
separate study I will prepare a paper on these 22 NT references.</span></font></p>

There is a tendency today in many circles to downplay the words of
Jesus through the writers of the epistles thinking they are but the
words of Paul or man. </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>Beware</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">
and realize that such wrongful thinking will be confronted by our
Lord at His Judgment Seat when He returns again.</span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">The Gospels focus on Jesus as
“Son of Man” by His choice. But following His resurrection, God
made this Jesus both Lord (Jehovah) and Christ (Messiah), and He sits
at the right hand of the Father. The Gospels also focus not on the
birth of Jesus (but 4 chapters) but on His great Redemptive Act
through His death, burial, resurrection, ascension and gift of the
Holy Spirit. One quarter to one third of all 4 gospels focus on this
in the last week of Jesus. This makes the Gospels like Elementary
school for us.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Then Acts outline how the
Epistles fit together as Jesus builds His church. This is like Junior
High. James through Jude are like Senior High, and lift especially
Jewish believers - into a higher notch. The 14 epistles of Paul are
like University, clarifying the nature of the Church as the “One
New Man” and the role of Gentiles and Jews in God's thinking here.
