The Straw that Broke the Camel’s Back

-

  1. Hear this word that Yahuwah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
  2. You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
  3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
  4. Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
  5. Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
  6. Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and Yahuwah hath not done it?
  7. Surely Yahuwah will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
  8. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? Yahuwah hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Amos 3:1-8

What may on the surface to appear as a totally senseless overreaction to a seemingly small insignificant matter, fails to understand fundamentally important issues of truth.  To illustrate, for example, there is a limit to how much straw, (which is actually only long yellow grass), a camel can carry on it’s back.  If you keep adding more and more straw, it will finally break the camel’s back.  When you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.

The distinguishing favours of Yahuwah to us, if they do not restrain from sin, shall not exempt us from punishment.  They could not expect communion with Yahuwah unless they first sought peace with him.  Where there is no friendship, there can be no fellowship.  Yahuwah and man cannot walk together, except they are agreed.  Unless we seek his glory, we cannot walk with him.  Let us not presume on outward privileges, without special, sanctifying grace.  

The threatenings of the word and providence of Yahuwah against the sin of man are certain and show that the judgments of Yahuwah are at hand.  Nor will Yahuwah remove the affliction he has sent, till it has done its work.  The evil of sin is from ourselves, it is our own doing, but the evil of trouble is from Yahuwah, and is his doing, whoever are the instruments.  This should engage us patiently to bear public troubles and to study to answer Yahuwah’s meaning in them.  

Oh, the amazing stupidity of an unbelieving world of those who despise Yahuwah’s mercies.  Yahuwah would not have sent Amos to call Isreal to repentance if his grace was not still open to his people if they returned to him.

What is GMO?

-
A GMO , or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or another organism whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods (also called gene splicing), gene modification or transgenic technology.  This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.  Genetic modification affects many of the products we consume on a daily basis.  As the number of GMOs available for commercial use grows every year, the Non-GMO Project works diligently to provide the most accurate, up-to-date standards for non-GMO verification. In order for a product to be Non-GMO Project Verified, its inputs must be evaluated for compliance with our standard, which categorizes inputs into three risk levels. High Risk The input is derived from, contains derivatives of, or is produced through a process involving organisms that are known to be gen

12 Signs Showing You Are Dealing With An Evil Person

-
Depravity is a pervasive factor of modern day survival. Sadly, at times after much effort, we are forced to recognize that the only remedial endeavour available, is from a distance. Evil is defined as the absence of good. Every person has different definitions of evil and goodness. However, in many cases, true evil is very hard to recognize especially for people who always try to find something good in others. We can not ignore that there are truly evil people around us and we need to learn how to notice the signals that show us when someone means nothing else but to harm us. 1. Reality Denial Regardless of how obvious the truth is these people will always deny it. Their truth is the only that matters even though it is the complete opposite of the reality. Their truth is actually a reflection of their wicked, unhealthy thoughts and ideas. 2. Fact Twisting These people are incredible manipulators. They are able to twist any fact that they do not want to accept. They possess the ability

Tarka Dal

-
Lately, lentils have become a tasty staple in my diet. Low in calories and high in nutrition, lentils are the perfect legume to eat in the summer in salads, spreads, for crudité and crackers, and as an item on a vegetarian dinner plate. Some like to always gravitate towards foods that are easy to cook, and lentils are a hassle-free compliment to any meal. Nutty and earthy in flavour, lentils have a high nutritional value that anyone can benefit from by incorporating this healthy legume into their diet. A meal at home is rarely fulfilling if a ladleful, or more, of dal, is not served. It’s one of the most adaptable ingredients in an Indian kitchen. Take any one dal, the masoor dal for instance, and you can find at least five ways to cook it. And that too is seriously underestimation. Ingredients 250g/9oz chana dal (yellow dried split peas), rinsed until the water runs clear 3 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp cumin seeds 1 small onion, chopped 3-4 whole
