Gen 1.3
“And God said, ‘Let there be light:’
and there was light.”
“Natural fear is a necessary accompaniment of our mundane existence
& is not cast out by perfect love.”
– Adam Clarke
Where there actual cave men? Yes. The first one was Lot (Gen. 19.30). After his affluence, after his political position, after his sad hob-knobbing with the sinners at Sodom, Lot lived in a cave. Never allow anyone to convince you Adam lived in a cave – he & his True Love didn’t need a water-proof shelter – it didn’t rain in Eden. – 2/6/21
“You can never judge a man’s experience either by the position he holds
or the esteem in which he is held by others.”
– H A Baldwin
One reason hollywood is popular, in a sense, is that the whole world is an “act.” Our money is not real. Man after man “plays” at being a “leader” (whichever title he assumes), satan, himself, is an imposter, & much of the fame of man is false. So, people not only *escape* into movies but their very falseness is something with which they feel comfortable. Pretender identifies with pretender. – 2/6/21
HOME PLACE
Home is a wonderful word,
Be it mansion or house absurd,
Be it large and tall
Or short and small,
There’s never a place you roam
That beats the place called “home.”
-eab, 2/6/11
Bible colleges produce men who preach the Bible. That’s their primary function. When a majority of the men leaving a school are no longer preachers of the Word, one of two things should happen & happen quickly. The president & teachers should put themselves on a prayer & prayer/fasting schedule & stay on it till God sends a sin-killing, carnality-eradicating revival to their hearts & the hearts of students. Or (I don’t want to appear flippant but think this is right) – OR they should shut the doors. – 2/6/21
1Co 2.4
“…My speech & my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom
but in demonstration of the Spirit & of power:”
“Shortcuts to dominion are of satan
not of God.”
– Samuel Chadwick
You’re not married yet? Maybe that’s not all bad. In fact, it’s good if you are not sure that all your sins have been forgiven & that your heart is set toward holiness & heaven. After your relationship is “Up & Going” with God, then (& only then) should you settle on a Life Mate. God wants to be First in your life (as the one who Made & Redeemed you, He has that right). Then, let Him orchestrate who’s #2. – 2/6/21
“By sin God’s image in man is defaced
but not erased.”
– Samuel Chadwick
