Welcome to the Froggie Report Page. This is where I will be putting my froggy reports from now on. These are bible lessons for children of all ages. I hope you hop along and fully enjoy these post. If you have bible question, please feel free to leave it on my facebook page or down below. Hope you have a Frogtaskic Day!
Ephesians 5:31 says "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice." Let's look up and read what each of these words truly mean, I was sure surprised and it spoke to my heart. I hope it speaks to yours as well.
1. Bitterness is anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment.
2. Wrath is extreme anger
3. Anger is strong feeling of annoyance displeasure or hostility.
4. Clamor is a loud and confused noise, especially that of a person shouting vehemently.
5. Evil speaking is backbiting, slanders
6. Malice is the intention or desire to do evil or ill will.
WOW!! It is powerful when we truely understandd what God is saying about anger. Notice the order one thing leads to another. I mean bitterns if left undealt with leads to wrath and wrath leads to anger and anger leads to clamour which leads to evil speaking and finally to malice. Unconfessed anger, unconfessed sin will only get worse if left unconfessed and forsaken. Watch the video below and see what happens to our hearts when bitterness takes root.
Thumper's Lesson, who remembers the lesson Thumpers daddy taught him. "if you can't say something nice, then don't say nuthing at all" What Thumper said was true, but it was wrong for him to say that cause of how it could have made Bambi or his momma feel. Bambi was doing his best he was trying. Did you know that there are many verses on the tongue in the bible? Let's see if we can stop some.
James 3:8 "But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." James tells us that we cannot tame our own tongue. So how then can we control what comes out of it. We must ask our Heavenly Father to control it for us. Exodus 4:12 God tells Moses “Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.” that promise is still with us today. God can and will teach us how to speak.
Psalms 39:1 "I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me." and Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
It's your fault...NO it's his fault....NO it's her fault.
Our Froggie Report starts out with the fall of Adam and Eve. Genesis chapter 3:1-24. The serpent, Adam, and Eve all played a roll in this fall. Adam and Eve both new very well from their evening walks with the Lord that He had told them they could have all the trees of the garden except this one tree. But the evil, sneaky serpent deceived Eve and she took of the tree that God had said no to. Noone knows just what kind of fruit was on that tree, but when God says no to something it is NO! The Lord had told them what would happen if they took of that fruit. It would open their eyes to know good and evil Genesis 2:17...but wait do you see it, didn't Adam and Eve already know good, they were in a perfect world, they themselves were perfect. So let's look at what this sneaky, subtil snake was really offering here. He was offering a chance for Eve to know evil. How sad if she would have stopped and thought this through she may not of eaten of the tree and thus we would still be in that perfect world.
Later we see in the verses that follow that Adam partook of the tree also and then God comes and wants to walk in the cool of the day with His friends. In verse 9 of chapter 3 the Lord calls for Adam and says Where are thou?....You mean God didn't know where Adam and Eve was...Yes God knows and sees everything in Proverbs 15:3 "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good." So God knew exactly what had happened. Adam and Eve where the ones that needed to see where they were and what they had done.
The last thing we see here is that God askes them basically what have you done, but sadly instead of admitting what they did they start the blame game. The woman did it....after all you gave her to me...the woman blames the snake.. and so on. Finally they have to come to the conclusion that they were each responsible for what happens and God meets out the consequences to each one of them.
We each will answer for what we do here on earth. We will each answer to what we did with the gift of Salvation. We are each responsible for our own actions that is why it is always, always, always important to seek out what God says in each situation we find ourselves in. Some find this hard to believe but it is true. The Bible has the answer to everything in our lives. We must seek the truth about each matter and give God time to answer us. His timing is not always our timing and His ways are not our ways...but He is ALWAYS right. Isaiah 55:8-9
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
