Write it in your heart

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: Deuteronomy 6:5,6 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 2 Corinthians 3:3

Those in the Church who mind earthly things...

For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Philippians 3:18,19

The Peace that Passeth Undersatnding

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Beware of the theories and philosiphies of this world

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3

God wasn't Joking

God wasn't joking when He kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden for sin... So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 3:24

Similarity between the character of Balaam and Judas

Balaam and Judas both tried to serve God and the world.

*Balaam claimed to believe in the true God and to serve Him.

*Judas believed in Christ and was a follower of His.

Balaam and Judas both had great light given to them.

Balaam and Judas both cherished a sin that deforemed their character.

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:4

*Balaam wanted to gain the riches offered by the king of Moab

*Judas hoped for riches in an earthly kingdom he thought Christ would set up

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 2 Peter 2:15

*Balaam betrayed the people of God by attempting to "curse" them

*Judas betrayed the Christ Himself

He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. John 6:71

Balaam

Notice that Balaam, who claimed to be a magician and was on his way to "curse" the children of Israel on behalf of the king of Moab, didn't have the power to even slay his own donkey!!!

And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the donkey, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. Numbers 22:28,29

Thy Word

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105

Where are the "Population 3" Stars?

Population 1 and 2 stars are supposed to have the heavier elements (according the the Big Bang Theory) because they absorbed them from explosions of Population 3 stars which formed them by nuclear fusion in their cores. But some Population 3 stars, which are supposed to last longer than they have so far supposedly existed, have not been found. (They should contain only the three lighter elements-helium, hydrogen and trace amounts of lithium). Where are the Population 3 stars? Unless of course-the Big bang is wrong!!!!!!

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Psalms 147:4

Don't be a Hypocrite

You can't fit your sins into your Christian life-it won't fit. For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. Isaiah 28:20 -Don't be a Hypocrite- Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Jeremiah 7:9,10

He Bids Us-ENTER

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Luke 13:24 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 "Man is allotted a part in this great struggle for everlasting life; he must respond to the working of the Holy Spirit." Testimonies for the Church vol. 8 p. 65

The great moral powers of the soul

"The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope and love." Testimonies for the Church vol. 3 p.187 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 "It is through the exercise of faith, hope and love that we come nearer and nearer to the standard of perfect holiness." Testimonies for the Church vol. 3 p.188

Spain?

During the days of the Spanish conquest of the new world, many Spainards used this verse to apply to them spreading Christianity to the American continent. (Tarshish is Spain). Pesonally, I don't believe this is what this verse means-but what does it mean?

Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. Isaiah 60:9

Behemoth---Dinosaur?

Was the "Behemoth" in the book of Job a reference to a dinosaur? Some believe the worldwide dragon stories are really about dinosaurs who once roamed the earth. For a Creationist it makes sense-for dinosaurs too may have been brought onto the ark and survived the flood only to be eventually hunted to extinction (as other animals in more recent times have been).

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. Job 40:15-18

Paul's advice for prayer

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6

Example of Esau

Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Hebrews 12:15-17

YOU are here.....

God knows where YOU are....

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Matthew 6:26

The End watches for you-a WARNING

The WARNING-Beware An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. Ezekiel 7:6 The Whole Earth is to be affected Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Ezekiel 7:2 No more pity Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations. And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Ezkeiel 7:3,4 $$$Money won't save you$$$ They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: Ezekiel 7:19 Mourning won't do any good But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. Ezekiel 7:16,17 There will be no peace Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. Ezekiel 7:25 Their spiritual leaders will fail them Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. Ezekiel 7:26

The Lion of Judah

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Revelation 5:5

Daniel read the scriptures.....

In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Daniel 9:2

His mission during His 1st Advent (Christmas)

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

He will not return alone

When He returns...He will not be alone.... When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: Matthew 25:31

The "Christmas" yet to come

The "Christmas" yet to come, (the 2nd Advent), our Lord will not be born in a stable-like barn, but rather, will come in clouds of majesty and glory. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Mark 13:26

Heavens rolled up like a Scroll....

It is thought by cosmologists and astro-physicists that there is a 4th dimension to the universe which makes it thin compared to the other three dimensions. Some call it "hyper-space" where the space-time continuum can be bent. If so, then the universe could be "rolled-up" like a scroll.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: Isaiah 34:4 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Revelation 6:14

The Race

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,

a) let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

b) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

c1) who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,

c2) despising the shame,

c3) and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1,2

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?

a) So run, that ye may obtain.

b) And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.

c) Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

d) I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

e) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Psalms 119:32 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? Galatians 5:7

Kiss the Son

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. **** Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Psalms 2:7,12

His Ice

He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? Psalms 147:17

Tempted?

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
