Nov 10 – Psa 30.12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give THANKS unto thee for ever.
Proud
15 of 47 “…Give ear; be not PROUD: for the LORD hath spoken”(Jer 13.15)
Psa 119.78 Let the PROUD be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
“No matter how strong[ly] you believe a lie
it will not save you.”

If you want a driver’s license in a state, you get their printed manual, read it with a highlighter, you believe it, & prepare for their test. Not a perfect parallel, But – If you want to go to heaven you get God’s printed Manual, READ It – yes, with a highlighter – Believe It, & thus prepare for the Greatest, most important Test of your life.
Don’t need license – don’t heed the above. Don’t think you “need” heaven – don’t heed the above – – – Your Date of Death however is arriving; perhaps sooner than you think. – 11/9/19
SEEKING
Men have gone into wild regions,
Gone where it is mainly cold,
Worked their claim day by dull day,
Seeking elusive, yellow gold.
Christian, daily search the Bible,
Seeking nuggets in your youth,
Work your claim in middle age,
In old age, seek still, holy truth. – eab, Nov 2008
When asked the secret of his success said,
“I never say ‘No’ to God”
– William Booth
If you entered the ministry to make a name for yourself, please leave. (Leave the ministry or better yet, get sanctified & leave your big “I” behind.) We already have enough preachers seeking to be known – rather than making Christ known. Be His servant, let Him be Master & stop trying to turn that around. Let Him have ALL the preeminence. – 11/9/19

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
“Sanctified people need to remember that the spirit of heaviness
is entirely compatible with the spirit of holiness.”
– C W Ruth, /Bible Readings/
I cannot image any sane person thinking Heaven will be polluted: With noise by rockers or rappers (non-christian or “christian”). With the vibrations of car racing. With the foul sounds of cursing, by-words, & oaths.
But hell? It will have NOISE. We would not want to go there for all the weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, if for no other reason & there are many more. – 11/8/19
“Faith is to the soul
what your breath is to the body.”
