Holy or not?

Be Glad when God has a HOLY person in a non-Holiness church (Glad that he/she is HOLY).

Be Sad when a person attends a Holiness church refusing to be HOLY; “…Without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12.14).

2 Births

The 1^st birth places us in a geographical, economical, ethnic niche out of which we never entirely matriculate. It stamps us for all earth life. The 2^nd birth marks us on earth but more so for eternal life. Birth #1 places us in a country (unless born at sea) – one country of scores in the world. Birth #2 places us in God’s kingdom (born on sea/land). It is one of two kingdoms which exceeding any county’s connection.

GOD GIVES T-H-E BEST

 

God does for His servants as He see best;

Some have activity, others have rest.

Several don work clothes, some suit and vest,

Some are far from home, some near their nest,

Some face life’s low load with a heavy chest,

Several sing and whistle high on the crest.

But all His known servants have passed His test;

They’ll gather soon from northeast to southwest.

Never forget, Child, God knows what is best.

path of prayer

The path of prayer begins upon the flats of earth

– easily prayed, spontaneously given. As one strolls along (prayer is one way he progresses) the flats (mud flats, flood plains) give way to a slight roll, a small swell of ground (you are gaining). Enjoy the elevation (though slight). Continued praying should lead one up to minor hills, not really inspiring but a little above the rolling land of yester year. The prayer power-path progresses on and up – up and on, into higher ground. This higher ground is only found by the progressive prayer, the petitioner with power. Low hills eventually give way to hills of greater heights, of higher delights, new and unexplored. The path of prayer leads, for the patient pray-er on and up. There are real hills ahead. There are foothills. There are mountains of heights the flatland-pray-er knows not.

Garden colors

Few things show the fantastic plurality of colors (think sea-green, pea-green, lime-green, etc.) and shapes, the range-less creative ability of God more than a garden. And – – – few things show the ability of God’s prime creature – man – more than a well – kept – garden.
