“The term original sin
was a term first used by the Calvinists….”
L D Wilcox, from his book Profiles in Wesleyan Theology
Real sinners, Real saints

Both sides have hypocrites. There move among earthly saints those who are not as holy as they want you to think they are. There also move among sinners those who are not as physically wicked as they want you to think (mentally they are very wicked). Both are trying to fit in with a group. Hell, nor heaven will have such. Both those Down or Up will be genuine i.e. real sinners, real saints.

NO CEILING ?

Just beyond the door called death
After we’ve drawn our very last breath
We’ll understand, as ne’er before
Heaven has no ceiling; hell no floor. *

Never take time for granted.
Never.
Days have a way of being similar (at times J) and we zoom through another day without realizing its value.
TIME IS THE MOST PRECIOIUS NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCE MAN HAS.

Proverbs 1. 28 – 29
“Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;
they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:”

Jesus does not honor such

Memorial Day? Traditionally it was May 30, regardless of the day of the week (changed so people could have 3-day week-ends). I followed my only brother’s casket THAT day (he was killed 5/24/1954) to a hill side in West Rushville, OH. Here are some facts. My first-cousin-once-removed died as a tail gunner in WWII. My first cousin went down in a submarine in WWII. My older b-n-l fought in the Philippines & my f-n-l in Germany in WWII. My younger b-n-l was in the “Korean Conflict.” My only brother was killed in boot camp at 17. None of the above turned me against WAR nor did my church oppose it. When 18 I did a normal registration (not C.O.). My stance against WAR came from my reading the New Testament in the late 60’s and has been strengthened since by further readings of It & by learning more history about war$. (I have more reasons to oppose WAR than ever before.)
Some people (even Christians) may feel they’d be disloyal to a dad, granddad or other, if they stopped supporting all the military days – my 2015 calendar lists seven (7) days that glorify WAR: Armed Forces Day (5/16), Memorial Day (5/25), Flag Day (6/14), Independence Day (7/4), Patriot Day (9/11), Veterans Day (11/11), and Pearl Harbor Day (12/7). THINK, Friend – that is more than the “Christian” days: Palm Sunday, Good Friday, “Easter,” Thanksgiving, & Christmas. No, for me to oppose the killings of WAR (on both sides) does not dishonor my dead brother. But opposing WAR does honor Jesus Christ.
Isaiah (2.4) & Micah (4.3) predict a day when they will learn WAR no more and the Psalmist (46.9) agrees WARS will someday cease – Wonderful.
P.S. For some this is new thinking – search the NT. Jesus doesn’t approve worshiping “war heroes.”

DELETE SIN

God, who creates every sunrise and set,
Is working on you – He’s not finished yet.
“El sol” and the clouds all cooperate
Day in, day out, past, present, and future date.
The Father would like you to stop your sin
Allow Him FULL control without, within.
Sin stops “the creation” He’s making in you
Sin’s a thing He hates and You don’t HAVE to do.
Let the Father make you complete.
And, inbred sin d-e-l-e-t-e. 🙂

Games/Races in Heaven?

What worldly entertainment
would you be so bold as to say will exist in heaven? Will your favorite amusement be up there? If yours, maybe your neighbor’s noisy, annoying “pastime” will be there too? Friend, back-away NOW from all worldly, time-and-money-wasting activities, which (in honesty) your “gut feeling” says God won’t approve/allow into His Holy Heaven.
