ISRAEL AND THE CHURCH: TAKE THE LOVE! When I first started going to church and sincerely seeking to honor, worship and reverence the only true living God one of the first things I noticed was this: “These people can’t possibly be a Christian!” I was right… I was a new Christian in my very late twenties. I was extremely ignorant about the Bible, the Holy Spirit and Christians. Ignorant, not stupid. I was poorly informed, uneducated on the things of…..
God made them male and female. He has a sense of humor! A good reminder: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a…..
Romans 12:1 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. MONEY IS NOT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL; the love of money is. Beloved, we are to love what God loves and hate what He hates. Romans 12:1 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then…..
TIP #17 BE PATIENT and let your wife know what’s going on. Today my husband fixed our garage door. The spring broke, or something like that; I am not mechanical. He was great! He was patient! He waited for warmer weather (remember: we live in Minnesota and it’s been an extremely snowy year.) The temp today is in the 30’s / 40’s. For all you Floridians and Hawaiians, that’s pretty warm! Duane fixed that garage door sooner than he thought…..
CHECK YOUR HEARTBEAT 1 John 4:7-8 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy,…..
Wisdom rebukes stupidity! Proverbs 4:6-7 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
WE, THE CHURCH, LOVE AND BLESS ISRAEL! Isaiah 62:1 “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, til her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.” BELOVED: REMEMBER WHO THE CHURCH IS! Colossians 1:15-20 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all…..
THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS: Chapter Two, Verses Nine Through Eleven: For this reason also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
HERE IS A FUNNY SUMMER STORY (We Minnesotans appreciate these in this March of 2019 as we just finished one of the snowiest February’s of all time) HERE’S THE LESSON: Let your husband know how much you missed him when he’s at work, fishing, hunting and such! One sunny morning Duane was gone. Our dryer was on the fritz so I hung clothes out for a few days. On one of the last (thankfully!) I did not realize that a…..
DON’T HAVE THEM! MINNESOTA HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF SNOW THIS NEW YEAR. I am almost sixty-three now (this April) and I have asked people my age and older if they remember as I do: didn’t we get a lot of 30 below temperatures? do you remember that it never used to rain in the winter? do you remember the seasons being more defined? May was sunny and warm. April was rainy, windy and cold we had more rain…..
