Receive Ps 78:41 Again and again they turned away and tempted
God to kill them, and limited the Holy one of Israel from giving them
his blessings. TLB
Principle of Giving
Gen
14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest
of God Most High,...:20 Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
NIV
ResponsiblePs 73:13 Have I been wasting my time? Why take the
trouble to be pure? 14 All I get out of it is trouble and woe-every day and
all day long! 15 If I had really said that, I would have been a traitor to
your people. TLB
Ps 4:4 In your anger do not sin; when you are
on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. NIV
RighteousGen 15:6 And Abram believed God; then God
considered him righteous on account of his faith. TLB
Ps 1:1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil
men's advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things
of God. 2 But they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day
and night are always meditating on his laws and thinking about ways to follow
him more closely. 3 They are like trees along a riverbank bearing luscious
fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither, and all
they do shall prosper. 4 But for sinners, what a different story! They blow
away like chaff before the wind. 5 They are not safe on Judgment Day; they
shall not stand among the godly. 6 For the Lord watches over all the plans
and paths of godly men, but the paths of the godless lead to doom. TLB

Ps 78:1 O my people, listen to my teaching. Open your ears
to what I am saying, 2 for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach
you hidden lessons from our past-- 3 stories we have heard and know, stories
our ancestors handed down to us. 4 We will not hide these truths from our
children but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the
LORD. We will tell of his power and the mighty miracles he did. NLT
Psalms 78:5 For he issued his decree to Jacob; he gave his law to Israel.
He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, [WHY]6
so the next generation might know them--even the children not yet born--that
they in turn might teach their children. 7 So each generation can set its
hope anew on God, remembering his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.
8 Then they will not be like their ancestors--stubborn, rebellious, and
unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God. NLT |

25:7 When Phinehas (son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest) saw
this, he jumped up, grabbed a spear, 8 and rushed after the man into his
tent, where he had taken the girl. He thrust the spear all the way through
the man's body and into her stomach. So the plague was stopped, 9 but only
after 24,000 people had already died. 10 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Phinehas
(son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest) has turned away my anger
for he was angry with my anger, and would not tolerate the worship of any
God but me. So I have stopped destroying all Israel as I had intended. 12
Now because of what he has done-because of his zeal for his God, and because
he has made atonement for the people of Israel by what he did-I promise that
he and his descendants shall be priests forever." TLB
