Joh 14.1
“Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
“…Today the same church member who yells like a Comanche Indian at a football game
sits like a wooden Indian in the house of God on Sunday.”

“Love not the world…”(1Jo 2.15) – – – what is there about LOVE NOT that you do Not understand? If satan has you confused, ask the Lord to lead out of this confusion. He CAN.
“…World passeth away…”(1Jo 2.17) – – – what’s there about passeth away you don’t understand?
“…Lust of the flesh…Lust of the eyes…Pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world”(1Jo 2.16) – – –
Sir/Ma’am, what’s so hard to understand about that? Don’t let satan blind longer you! – 8/11/22
“Strive to do everything that is praiseworthy
but do nothing in order to be praised.”

ADORN
Tall fields of green, tasseled, Ohio corn,
Aroma of fresh mown clover and hay,
Baby’s skin; the softest ever worn,
Crisp night dividing day from day,
Sunrise on beach, O, the beautiful morn,
Valleys where fogs come to play;
Make you glad that you were born.
These, God used this earth to adorn.

God’s Presence
Does He satisfy and please?
Or does He make you ill at ease?

I hope you’ve heard a holiness preacher (maybe a few) who preached Bible & “let the chips fall where they may.” Hopefully they’re in heaven. Perhaps you’ve known a saint whose life fully matched his testimony & that he also is in heaven. And, as you obey the Spirit, I hope you end Up There. Heaven will NOT be *about* that old Holiness Preacher, nor that saint, nor even you – Heaven is about GOD. It is His Throne. He is the center. Too many (I fear) see heaven as centered on humans. – 8/11/22
“The greatest idea that we can frame of God
is when we conceive of him to be a Being of infinite love & goodness…

My wife & I were able to visit Bro Joe Smith’s church last night & hear our s-n-l speak on missions. (Got to hear daughter, him, & their children sing. J) Phillip Dickinson twice mentioned not being in debt. I hope every adult & every youth-soon-to-be-adult heard! It’s so important. Please stop drooling over a new car. Be content with the size of your dwelling. Don’t buy things you don’t need, or use a credit-card you can’t pay off each month. “…Be content…”(Php 4.11). Thank you Pastor Smith, for having them. – 8/11/22
Rom 13.8
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:
for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”
Permit me to encourage the reading (& memorization) of the King James Bible. 1.) If you weren’t raised with It, come explore this proven CLASSIC. 2.) If you grew up reading/hearing It read, but left It, I invite you back to Its beauty & range of vocabulary. 3.) If you were told that “It’s impossible to understand” consider opening your mind & seeing for yourself. See why millions of Christ’s followers learned from & tenaciously held onto this Outstanding Text. You owe it to yourself to see. – 8/11/22
“Prayer is the nearest approach to God & the highest enjoyment of him
that we are capable of in this life.”
