Luther Quote

“Here on earth we must seek for no honor, for it is written:

‘Woe unto you when men bless you.’ We belong not to this life but to another far better.”

– Table Talk, p.177

 

A theory, as long as it is accepted as just that, a theory, may be harmless: an idea among a brotherhood of ideas, a possibility and only that. If/when you (or society) start to accept it as “fact,” if/when it becomes THE only accepted idea, moving toward “orthodoxy,” it becomes Dangerous, with a capital “D.”

The greatest City

The greatest City of all,

Perfectly squared and equally tall

Whose Builder and Maker is God;

Is New Jerusalem, yet to come,

The believer’s eternal home

And it’ll be literally above sod.

– eab, 9/21/15

 

* FRUGAL *

You can be frugal because you HAVE TO BE, be totally griped about it, and have no joy in it.

You can make a “game” of saving, re-using, “making-do” & enjoy it. Attitudes are important.

– eab, 9/21/17

 

“…The more we conform to his will, the more we act according to his wisdom, and

imitate his goodness, by so much the more do we enjoy God…”

– Wm. Law, from his SERIOUS CALL

 

Heb 11. 25

“Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God,

than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;”

 

Want to love Christ? 1) Read MORE about Him in His eternal Word (“Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away” (Mat24.35,Mar13.31, Luk21.33). 2) Talk MORE to Him – no appointment necessary, “walk-ins” welcome. 3) Let Him talk to you – – – make sure your heart is as open to hear Him as you want Him to hear you.

– eab, 9/19/17

 

Want to be attracted to the antichrist? 1) expose your eyes, mind, your “animal spirit” to ungodly “music.”

2) feed your eyes, warp your brain, slather memory with images of ancient, “futuristic” gods/goddesses.

3) be more involved in death-worshipping-halloween & false imagery of materialistic christmas, etc.
