Bible Seeds: The tenth commandment is the reasoning of all of the previous commandments. It says in essence; 'You shall not covet anything that is your neighbor's.' When we look at the word covet, the dictionary defines this word as, long for; yearn for and wish for. But I think that the reason people covet is because of jealousy! They think that person doesn't deserve the things they have, and that they are more deserving to have those things. It's a matter of power. Who has the power? Who has the money? That is the reason they put Jesus to death. It's the reason people cheat, and it doesn't matter if it involves a board game, a video game, and election, a job, a love relationship or fame.
It even makes people think that they would do a better job of being God saying, "If I were God, I would stop this or I would do that!" When they realize they don't have any power to control weather, earthquakes, and disasters; or people, politics and death, they say "there really is no God".

Bible Seeds: When the disciples of Jesus asked Him, 'what will be the sign of His coming back and the end of the age? The very first sentence from the mouth of Jesus was, "See to it that no one misleads you."
Imagine waking up one morning and hearing, "Breaking News" - God has changed the 10 commandments He gave to Moses to 'The Ten Suggestions "! None of these suggestions will incur punishments from God and will be treated as misdemeanors."

Bible Seeds: This is a Special Labor Day Re-podcast for the title Divide and Conquer.

Jesus warns us in the book of Matthew, Chapter 12, Verse 25
"Any country that divides itself into groups which fight each other will be brought to desolation.

And any town or family that divides itself into groups which fight each other will bring ruin to the town or to the family; they shall not stand.

Bible Seeds: People still make God or gods out of the sun, the stars, the planets, the moon! They will propose the idea that the position of these celestial objects can control the destiny of our lives. They will tell you that Astrology is science! But they have not proof.
They will tell you because of Gravity, which they do not understand, controls the tides and the sea. And when the moon is in a certain position, the gravity causes the tide to rise on the oceans. And then they say because the oceans are salt water and our bodies are a great portion of water with salt, the tide rises in us and makes us crazy. So who do we pray to? The moon or the sea? Is that our God?

Bible Seeds: All life reflects God's glory without even willing it. But humans have trouble giving glory to God even though deep inside they know there is a Creator. Even a small child can reflect God's glory by the look of innocence on their face and in their actions. Even though we can come to the conclusion that God is our real creator and not some great explosion which generally brings chaos or strange chemicals under pressure that can create the start of life, the real reflection of God's glory is found in the scripture of the bible.

Bible Seeds: On my website, at the bottom of every page of all the songs I've written and performed, I give God credit by writing; 'The inspiration and the author of all the music we compose is the LORD GOD. He just allows us to put our name on it.'
I find that all the music that has ever been written is not evil. It's not the music that promotes sin or suggest sinful actions. It's the lyrics to the songs and the way people dance to them.

Bible Seeds: The title of this podcast may sound questionable, but coming to the reality that the Holy Spirit of God lives in you after you're born again is more than earth shaking. Since that time, me and my family have experienced the help of the Holy Spirit and even determined the birth of my 4th child. That is found in my 39th podcast at www.carlvasta.com/seeds titled "How Do You Know You're Saved".

Bible Seeds: Have you ever seen the "Tension" on a sign, maybe on someone's wall that seemed unclear but it sizzled when you looked at it. It used to be popular art a number of years ag o and it certainly gave that feeling. The trouble is that today "Tension" is with us 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There seems to be no way to get away from it.
Jesus said in John, chapter 14: verse 27, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."

Bible Seeds: Have you ever seen articles about the children born to people who are famous? Many famous people claim that their children did not realize they were well known or famous until they were a little older. Then, at some point, they come to the realization that their parents are well known by many people and it Un settles them.
The children may wonder what is expected of them and if you compare the children of GOD; Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and what is expected of them! Born again?

Bible Seeds: If you have ever read an obituary in a newspaper or walked through a cemetery and read the names of the people who have died and the dates on the gravestones, you may have noticed when they were born and when they died. We usually don't give much thought about the dash between their first breath and the last breath they took. That dash represents everything that happened to them in their life and whatever they did. The dash tells us nothing! Their visiting relatives may be able to relate stories about their lives, but after they're gone, the dash still tells us nothing. Only God knows!
