Yahweh-Tsabbaoth ~ The LORD Of Hosts
Jehovah-sabaoth
literally means the Lord Almighty. It speaks of the sovereignty of God over all
the powers of the universe. The second stanza from Martin Luther's hymn "A
Mighty Fortress Is Our God" says, "Did we in our own strength
confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, The
man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He,
Lord Sabbaoth His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the
battle." David understood the greatness of God when he went against Goliath
with five smooth stones and a sling. David said to Goliath, "Thou comest
to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in
the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast
defied." Oh, that each of us would have this same conception of God in our
battles.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
