None good

tjbrown7

Just read this passage on my daily….from the most famous Bible interpreter of all time! “And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, … Continue reading None good

Destroying the best

tjbrown7

Business and other duties are good, but we are so filled with these that they crowd out and destroy the best – EM Bounds “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” – Jesus Matthew 6:31-33 A couple of remixes via copilot below: 🧢 Gen Z … Continue reading Destroying the best

Be good…

tjbrown7

Anything less would be an idol of an ungodly mind… “And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.” – Matthew 10:17-18 There is no such thing as a good person in Christian thought as all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (the only really good one according to Jesus). So, no one gets … Continue reading Be good…

Lean not…

tjbrown7

There are some things that the human mind was never created to bare alone! Causing overload and breakdown… “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher … Continue reading Lean not…

She alone remains unto all generations

tjbrown7

“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:15–18, KJV) As saith Jesus so saith Paul “Now unto him that is able … Continue reading She alone remains unto all generations

The virtue of man and woman

tjbrown7

Let us, then, embracing more and more this good obedience, give ourselves to the Lord, clinging to what is surest, the cable of faith in Him, and understanding that the virtue of man and woman is the same. For if the God of both is one, the master of both is also one; one church, one temperance, one modesty; their food is common, marriage an equal yoke; respiration, sight, hearing, knowledge, hope, obedience, love all alike. And those whose life is common, have common graces and a common salvation; common to them are love and training. Clement of Alexandria. 1885. … Continue reading The virtue of man and woman

All our life long

tjbrown7

“…holding on to truth with our teeth, we must with all our might follow God, and in the exercise of wisdom regard all things to be, as they are, His; and besides, having learned that we are the most excellent of His possessions, let us commit ourselves to God, loving the Lord God, and regarding this as our business all our life long. Clement of Alexandria. 1885. “Exhortation to the Heathen.” In Fathers of the Second Century: Hermas, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus, and Clement of Alexandria (Entire), edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, 2:206. The Ante-Nicene Fathers. … Continue reading All our life long

Let us…in the name of Jesus

tjbrown7

Let us aspire, then, after what is good; let us become God-loving men, and obtain the greatest of all things which are incapable of being harmed—God and life. Our helper is the Word; let us put confidence in Him; and never let us be visited with such a craving for silver and gold, and glory, as for the Word of truth Himself. For it will not, it will not be pleasing to God Himself if we value least those things which are worth most, and hold in the highest estimation the manifest enormities and the utter impiety of folly, and … Continue reading Let us…in the name of Jesus
