The new is not found under the sun

“I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards. I made me gardens and orchards. I made me pools of water, that by these I might rear woods producing trees. I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had large possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me. I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces. I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as cups and the … Continue reading The new is not found under the sun

Be steadfast

tjbrown7

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O  Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 … Continue reading Be steadfast

From Dionysius’ commentary on Ecclesiastes: “And my heart directed me in wisdom, and to overcome in mirth, until I should know what is that good thing to the sons of men which they shall do under the sun for the number of the days of their life.” – Ecclesiastes Being directed, he says, by wisdom, I overcame pleasures in mirth. Moreover, for me the aim of knowledge was to occupy myself with nothing vain, BUT TO FIND THE GOOD; for if a person finds that, he does not miss the discernment also of the profitable. The sufficient is also the … Continue reading The aim of knowledge

If God kept a record of our sins

“But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.” – Psalm 130:4 Jesus saves! “And thou shalt call His name Jesus” WHY “for thou shalt save His people from their sins” – Matthew 1:21 Jesus, light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6-8)! Open the eyes of Israel, God (Romans 11:15). Their is nobody that fits the description of the Servant in Isaiah 42:1-6, Isaiah 49:1-6 and Isaiah 52:13-15 and Isaiah 53 as magnificently as Jesus. All of which were written well before Jesus and the history of the world that followed as all Christians, Jews and scholars … Continue reading If God kept a record of our sins

Chance in the gaps! 😆 Yea, Democritus himself, as it is reported, averred that he would prefer the discovery of one true cause to being put in possession of the kingdom of Persia. And that was the declaration of a man who had only a vain and groundless conception of the causes of things, inasmuch as he started with an unfounded principle, and an erroneous hypothesis, and did not discern the real root and the common law of necessity in the constitution of natural things, and held as the greatest wisdom the apprehension of things that come about simply in … Continue reading An image as a cover

There is only one who saves and his light and salvation has gone out to all the world as predicted in Isaiah 49:6 and as He predicted in Acts 1:6-8! This is no small prediction to make nor accomplish! It has been done in Jesus! He is to be trusted for your salvation like no other! God bless… “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many” – Hebrews 9:27 Continue reading He is to be trusted
