Don’t make time for it
Don’t make time in your life for hate. Follow the school of Christ and trust your Lord and Savior and do what He did and what the “wheat” of Christianity have been doing for 2000 years and running. Win the haters over with love and prayer and blessing for cursing remembering that “Vengeance is mine thus saith the Lord”. God’s got this! All we need to do is act like it. Easier said than done but by His Spirit it can be done. We got 2000 years of the “tares” and the “wheat”. Let’s be the “wheat” that have changed … Continue reading Don’t make time for it
I know the things that come into your mind
“Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. Then said he unto me, Son of man, THESE ARE THE MEN that devise mischief, AND GIVE WICKED COUNSEL IN THIS CITY: which say, It is not near: let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. Therefore PROPHESY AGAINST THEM, prophesy, O son … Continue reading I know the things that come into your mind
Earliest record of Israel outside the Bible
From my current reading of: Basically: A lot of what archaeologists once criticized about the Bible’s archaeological record has been reconsidered or overturned, though they still challenge other parts… and that will likely keep changing with future finds. lol Read this this morning. Such a fascinating field of study. The book is a great recommend and seems to be well sourced to do further study with if one so desired. Continue reading Earliest record of Israel outside the Bible
Interposing prayers
Albeit these practices stand simply without any precept for their observance, still it may be granted a good thing to establish some definite presumption, which may both add stringency to the admonition to, pray, and may, as it were by a law, tear us out from our businesses unto such a duty; so that—what we read to have been observed by Daniel also, in accordance (of course) with Israel’s discipline—we pray at least not less than thrice in the day, debtors as we are to Three—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: of course, in addition to our regular prayers which are … Continue reading Interposing prayers

He then flames fiercest
But however, that most stubborn foe (of ours) never gives his malice leisure; indeed, he is then most savage when he fully feels that a man is freed from his clutches; he then flames fiercest while he is fast becoming extinguished. Grieve and groan he must of necessity over the fact that, by the grant of pardon, so many works of death in man have been overthrown, so many marks of the condemnation which formerly was his own erased. He grieves that that sinner, (now) Christ’s servant, is destined to judge him and his angels. And so he observes, assaults, … Continue reading He then flames fiercest
Why call ye me, Lord
As soon as you “know the Lord,” you should fear Him; as soon as you have gazed on Him, you should reverence Him. But what difference does your “knowing” Him make, while you rest in the same practises as in days bygone, when you knew Him not? Tertullian. 1885. “On Repentance.” In Latin Christianity: Its Founder, Tertullian, edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, translated by S. Thelwall, 3:661. The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Company. “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and … Continue reading Why call ye me, Lord
O everlasting God, that knoweth
“There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim: And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord. Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses. Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others. The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came … Continue reading O everlasting God, that knoweth
