Pro 11.11
“By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.”
“…Our Lord never required absolute perfection from archangels
much less from fallen man.”
– John Fletcher
Someway (not sure I understand why) humans are fascinated by artsy objects which took hours/days/even yrs to make or build & which have no, Absolutely No, practical use. I suppose we’re snagged on the idea that one human spent that much time on froth. Pardon me – but we shouldn’t be. Use your time wisely – even as a responsible adult. Use your time even more wisely as men & women of God & who will give an account to Him of the deeds done in the flesh. – 12/6/19
“…Every clergyman is not a candidate for a bishopric,
but every man is a candidate for heaven.”

JUST CHRISTMAS AGAIN
Is it just Christmas, again,
In a world of war and sin?
Another year of tinsel and paper;
Of glamorous gifts, paid for later,
Of loveless homes and empty lives,
And husbands separate from their wives?
Another day, the same as last,
The only difference, a year has past?
No, this year can be,
A joyous Christian reality.
A year when Christ is personal,
Yes, more than an year, eternal;
The Lord of your life, and heart
If not now, then now start.

“What are you so greedily reading grandpa?” said a child to a Bible-studying saint
of four score yrs intently reading the word of God, “News…”

There’s never been a better time for YOU to become a follower of Jesus Christ. No, not just an occasional attendee at a nominal “christian” church. No, not a church member, although being in a Bible-believing church can help. Please Sir, Ma’am, become a follower of the Lord. You & I could be called upon to stand, unequivocally stand in this life. We all will need to be in right standing with Him at the point of death.

Mat 19.4
“And he answered & said unto them, ‘Have ye not read,
that he which made them at the beginning made them male & female.’ ”
Once a man were happy for his girlfriend, fiancé, & then wife to be as feminine as she could be. And she was pleased to be his full-fledged lady. What happened? Magazines, sales catalogues, movies, TV, etc. started portraying women with shorter hair. (This is not new, my dad’s mother had a mannish haircut 70 yrs ago but cutting has gotten worse.) Many men still prefer a lady to have longer (if not uncut) hair but some women, sadly, want to please themselves instead of their man. – 12/11/19
