2Co 6.14
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?”
“All that Calvary provided for us,
judgment will require from us.”
– Millard Downing
PHONE. [B.] Along came men (or companies of men) who made phone improvements. At least they called them such. And – – – for a while most of us agreed. Gradually the servant became The Servant. The phone bill became a monthly necessity. The place the phone played in life – life of the family, life of society, life of banking, etc. increased. Then (I’m an old man) there was “talk” of a phone upon which you could SEE the person to which you were speaking. The Servant became more Important. – 3/10/23
“The dichotomy between clergy & laity with holiness attaching to the former
was formalized into a theological structure by Thomas Aquinas.”
– Ray Dunning, PhD
ACTING [B – con’t.] Parents please see acting is PLAYING. [Yes, I know baseball PLAYERS are playing also – that’s a separate subject.] A good parent tries to teach their child how to WORK. Working suggests making an object, or re-making it, or doing a chore people need done. Can your child make a little money doing this? Yes – hopefully. But it’s a poor Dad, a pitiful Mom who only wants their child to make money. Teach them being a Christian is FIRST & being a good worker is SECOND! – 3/13/23
Paradise
The wonderful, great Master in the sky
Invites us to go with Him when we die
To a place Christ, who really knew,
Correctly called Paradise
Every man, woman, & child
By the Lord, so meek & mild
Above to where the thief flew
To be with Christ – Paradise.
Have you laid aside your every plan
Are you now doing all that you can
To rise unhindered, passing through
To forever & ever enjoy Paradise?
Please don’t brush these words aside
Christ is the One who did provide
For you and me, me and you;
He wonderfully shares His Paradise.

REVIVAL [B.] Unlike Finney & Nash, moderns bring in a preacher & singer (not a Pray-er). Truth be known, no Special singers touch souls more (inside four walls or listening, on nice-weather nights, down a street) than a blessed CONGREGATION. Anointed congregations “lifting the roof” in “Love Divine” (C.Wesley), “At the Cross” (I.Watts), or “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” (M.Luther) & others help prepare hearts for powerful prayer sessions & the delivery of God’s Word by His man-of-the-hour. – 3/14/23
Col 1.18
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
“He’s [Jesus Christ]
the final destination of my soul.”
– Darwin Edwards
A “government virus,” attempts to disrupt food supplies, huge WDC corruption, bank “failures” (& more) clamor for attention (& we should be a little aware of them.) But Jesus Christ said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me”(Joh 12.32). May God help me, may God help you, in word & deed to LIFT UP our Lord & His Wonderful Word. People need to see hope in this dark hour – their only hope of HOPE is our Lord. “O God, may your Light be seen in me.” – 3/16/23
“Forgive. Why?
So you can live.”
