Luther Quote
“…St. Peter was at Rome…
has never yet been, nor ever will be proved…”
– Table Talk, p.174
Dad, are you allowing your son to do what your holy dad wouldn’t allow you to do? WHY?
Mom, are you permitting a daughter to dress in ways your saintly mother forbid you? WHY?
For the sake of eternity (parent’s & child’s) you need to HONESTLY answer Why?

PULLED UP, PUSHED UP
The mighty oak from an acorn came,
Bursting, throbbing, growing in strain;
Pulled up by the light, pushed up by the rain.
It didn’t happen over night.
No stalwart man is instant made.
It takes pressure, decisions, days of shade;
Pulled up by prayer, pushed by reading, rare.
Small souls and fires quickly fade.
– eab, Sept. 1975
The Worship of the Triune Godhead should draw our attention now & ever. Such worship should Awe us, Humble us, Inspire us. Worshipping of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Ghost should be the high point of every Lord’s Day, the sought-for point in every Family Altar (devotions as family units), & the rejoicing point in our daily private times with God. Amen?

“Jim Elliott…“I went a friend’s house last night and looked at TV.
God convicted me with Psalm 119:37: ‘Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity.’”
– Quoted by Vance Havner, from his ON THIS ROCK
1Co 10. 7
“Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written,
‘The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.’”
He “earns” WHAT?!? That’s his pay – – – to merely play? He doesn’t make a door/window. He doesn’t grow veggies/fruits. His “activity” yields no better river or pond. I’m happy that the exorbitant “salaries” paid to grown men chasing each other down a “cow-pasture” wanting a pig-skin the other guy has, have not received one dollar from me. And you? If every one who was in church this week, stopped paying-to-watch such frivolity maybe, MAYBE some of these playboys would get real jobs.
