A Quote From Luther
“Abraham’s bosom is the promise and assurance of salvation and the expectation of Jesus Christ;
not heaven itself but the expectation of heaven.”
– Table Talk, p.8
Christians are neither Jew nor Gentile, now that we are followers of Christ. We are born-again men (saved from our backgrounds whether Greek or Hebrew.) We’re new creatures – we’re both above and beyond earthly roots.

underside
Every leaf on yonder tree
Has an underside, we do not see
Except when pre-storm wind
Tilts and turns it on its end.
It’s as important as the top side
But prefers itself to hide.
People also have a side unseen
Till storm reveals it, gentle or mean.

Only God’s great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20.11) will reveal the total damning influence of the movie industry (it IS a vast, foul, purposefully polluting industry). Its tentacles are far reaching, its money huge, and its supporters are often religious.

“…There is no holiness for man
unless it is based on the holiness of God.”
– L D Wilcox, from Profiles Wesleyan Theology
1Co 3. 17
“If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
The Lord made the 1st man without help. In my opinion, He since has wanted fathers & mothers to help Him make a man (& a possible husband) out of EVERY boy. Dad, please, PLEASE do not run from this responsibility. Man up (be all male yourself) & teach your son how to be an even better man than you are. This sissified world needs all the real men we can get. The likes of hollywood will not help, even churches may fail, but you can (with the strength of Christ) make a man of your son. DO IT!
