...are you in jail yet? If so, I'm praying for you and your bunk-mates. If not, when are you coming back?

KEEP AT YOUR WORK The Lord has given to every man his work. It is every man's business to do his work, and the devil's business to hinder him if he can. Be sure as God has given you a work to do, Satan will try to hinder you if he can. He may throw you from it; he may present other things more...

Furthermore, I should like you to notice that real prayer cannot come from men whose characters are contrary to the mind of God. He whose character contradicts his prayer has not prayed. His life has effectually pleaded against his lips. Saul of Tarsus was opposed to the Son of God—how could he...

A jewel of more worth than a world ("Hypocrites Detected, Anatomized, Impeached, Arraigned and Condemned" 1650) Time is a jewel more of worth than a world. Time is not yours to dispose of as you please; it is a glorious talent which men must be accountable for, as well as any other talent...

Acts 2: 42-47 42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all those who had believed were...

Romans 13:8-10 8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 9 For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this...

Basic Christian Disciplines • Read your bible every day. • Pray every day. • Go to church. • Tithe 10% of your gross, not your net. While reading your bible, ask yourself the following: • Is there a commandment I need to put into practice? • Is there a promise I need to claim? • Is there a...

A long time ago God, in His infinite wisdom, before the foundations of the Earth were laid, decided to send His Son to the Earth to save mankind from itself and from the darkness of sin and evil. In the fullness of time He sent His Holy Spirit to overshadow a young virgin who would give birth...

…to praise and thank God: (The purpose of this thread is to praise and give thanks for every blessing bestowed upon us. Please keep the numerical order as you post. The attempt is to get to 10,000 – collectively, although I believe we all have more than 10,000 reasons individually.) 1. Born...

Denise Levertov (1923–1997) Flickering Mind Lord, not you, it is I who am absent. At first belief was a joy I kept in secret, stealing alone into sacred places: a quick glance, and away—and back, circling. I have long since uttered your name but now I elude your presence. I stop to think about...

1 Peter 1:17 If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your...

My 27 y.o. daughter asked where dreams came from. This is what I told her: (We were driving down a gravel road next to the Thompson River on a mild sunny day in late Spring.) I said Jordan, do you feel the breeze from our movement, feel the movement of the Jeep on your body, smell the river...

When I was young my parents would have friends over (or vice versa) to play Pitch or Pinochle. They would have cocktails, laugh, smoke and call each other names. All the kids would be outside late doing what kids do. It was loads of fun. When I was middle-aged we would go play cards (Spades...

You are so busted. :D

In the latest "Tabletalk" published by Ligonier Ministries (April 2016) the theme of this month's issue is Islam. There's a line from one of the articles that jumped off the page: "You can never really love somebody whom you fear will finally reject you." The article was speaking about the...

The love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts. (Rom. 5:5) The first on the list of spiritual fruit is love. (Gal. 5:22,23) Anger does not serve God's purpose. (James 1:20) Friend, you need to let somebody love you and let go of your anger. If you are indignant about so many things...

...I was given this: When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to...

Praying for you... Lord God of the highest heavens and Holy Father, I bless you and praise Your Holy Name and I thank You and praise You for Your mighty deeds among men. I worship and bow to Your Holiness even as I wonder at Your Majesty and Perfection. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be...

Asked: God is omniscient. Jesus told his disciples He did not know the day and hour of His return. Jesus is not God. How can Jesus be God if He didn't know what God knew? This is what this man believes. What is the best answer to this?

I am using Alka-Seltzer Plus (the kind that dissolves in water). What works for you?
