Mar 16.15
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world
& preach the gospel to every creature.”
“Preach doctrine, preach all the doctrine that you know & learn forevermore…but preach it always not that men may believe it but that men maybe saved by believing it.”
– Phillips Brooks
CHURCH MUSIC. Once there was no pipe organ in any church; or piano. This Lord’s Day in a church building, somewhere – I suppose – almost any instrument you can imagine (& some you can’t) is being played. A few sincere souls are worshipping God among the strains of instrumentation. Many more are *imagining they’re in God’s presence because they “just love” the single instrument or combined musical sounds – they think it “heavenly.” Is their god music, not God? Think ABOUT music’s place. – 7/1/22
“Out of the thorns which a care fulfarmer would not have suffered to survive, cruel men once platted a crown…Is it pushing the facts too far to say that man’s worldliness crucified the King of Kings?”

“Good Bye”
You have a pretty place with a great view:
Sea-side, mountain-top, or what’s fine to you.
It’s a get-a-way spot; four times a year,
Or bought for retirement which now is near.
It’s tiny-house-cozy – containers stacked,
Or board & batten; all stained & shellaced.
Maybe a rambling home of stone or brick
Or cabin in old timbers, tall & thick.
Question – Do you own a mansion On High?
The Ultimate, Holy Place to retire?
Enjoy your earth spot, But Oh, forget not
It is true holiness or it’s hell fire.
Ah. Be ready to tell your lodge “Good Bye.”

HOME SCHOOL Teach your child that when they FACE north, east is always to their right & west is always to their right. Teach them that maps (unless marked otherwise) always have north at the top of the page (basic same idea – face north, east to right, west to left). It is sad how some people do not know directions. Dad, Mom, home school, somebody failed them. Also teach that when you change & face the setting sun, north is now to the right & south to the left. Try to drill this into homeschoolers. July 2022

Do not leave the mother of your children (I speak of two in original marriage). “But she is so HARD to get along with. Grrr.” And you sir, are perfect? “Well, no, I’m not perfect but I better than she is.” eab of course, does not know – but lets say, you are a little “better” than she is – where is love, repeat LOVE? Have you, as the leader of the home, asked God to renew your love for her? Get away, if possible, get alone with God. Ask Him, Beg Him to give you LOVE for your wife, again. He can. ASK Him. – 7/11/22
2Th 2.3
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first & that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”
DRIFT #1. Shorter skirts are Not more holy. Shorter sleeves are Not more modest. Shorter hair (women) is Not more Biblical. People attending dramas, movies & plays are Not making our churches, homes more spiritual. THE DRIFT IS ON. A man without a wedding band are speaking well of one who is. A “known holiness preacher” associated with a known compromiser (“birds of a feather…”). WE ARE IN TROUBLE as a holiness people. PLEASE place your standards in the Bible, Watch & Pray. – 7/11/22
“After a man has been in the ministry 8 or 10 yrs his files should
contain the results of his studies in almost every book of the Bible.”
