Joh 12.32
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”
[ Christ is attractive ]
Every image is false. From the earliest stone images to the latest filmed ones, all are fake. The devil wants to fascinate us, dazzle us, pique our interest to see one more sequel. Wake up, friend; much of entertainment is about the fabricated, the fictitious, the false. I plead with parents stop the addiction to movies, cartoons for your child’s sake. God does not need images – He. Is. The. Word.

“We are indebted to our Lord’s controversies with the Pharisees and Scribes
for a considerable part of the four Gospels.”
– John Fletcher
BEST FRIEND
If you’re known by your friends,
And certainly that makes sense.
Who would you list as your best
Someone on society’s fringe
Who is closest to your chest?
Look beyond your small valley
Seek a Friend who is “tops”
Don’t settle for second best
God will be with you in path or alley
His prime friendship never stops.
He’ll love you in trough and crest
After all, He’s really chosen you,
Did that before you ever saw light.
Return His love now and ever,
Love God if it’s the last think you do.
Walk with Him through earth’s night
Loving Christ is you best endeavor.

Rev 21.10
“And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God”
Saints, do not think it strange when you find yourself in the minority. The minority went on the ark. The minority (12 spies) were right. The minority made up the final number for Gideon. The minority went into (& came out of) the fiery furnace. The minority were in the Upper Room. God appears to not be impressed (as we too often are) by large numbers.

“Never do anything I would not want to be doing the last hour of my life.”
