2Co 6.17
“…Come out from among them & be ye separate, saith the Lord
& touch not the unclean thing; &I will receive you,”
“The merchant is no longer to hoard up treasures on earth. The soldier is not longer to fight for glory, the great scholar is no longer to pride himself in the depths of science; but they must all with one spirit ‘count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus.’”
– Wm Law
PHONE. [C.] If you aren’t careful The Servant will rule you, instead of you ruling it. Phone rings – people answer. They pretty well Obey it. They should be listening to Dad or Mom – instead they’re listing / watching their Servant/Master. They should be hearing what their Husband/Wife is saying but they’re more interested in what Servant/Master is telling them. Go to waiting rooms, stand in lines & watch slaves *bowing to their Master. [BTW *you’ll have to stop looking at YOUR phone to see them.] March 2023
“God is to be glorified, holiness is to be practiced
& the spirit of Religion is to be the common spirit of every Christian…”

CONTINOUS
My Father has been, Is, & will be
When this earth is no more, nor the sea
When grass is gone & every last tree
And geese no longer form their flying vee;
My Father will continue to be “He.”

HE LIKES THEM
God hears every bird that ever sings
And heard every bird that ever sung
From the tip-top branch to the lowest rung
From its first peep to the last rill begun
From morning bright to the even sun
He likes His feathery, flying things.

REVIVAL [C.] Question – do evangelical & “holiness” churches want to see hardened sinners saved? Do we desire that youth (& some not so young) move up to being entirely sanctified? or [bear with me – – – this is a bit strong] or do we JUST wish to fulfill the *expectation for spring/fall “revivals”? Do our churches need an awakening or, OR will a few sermonetts & Special Singers with toe-tapping “music” do? Praying AND Obeying is the need of our day – whether we’re willing to admit it or not. – 3/14/22
“…The more we conform to his will, the more we act according to his wisdom
& imitate his goodness by so much the more do we enjoy God…”

ACTING [C.] “But – but – Bryan don’t you understand that acting (stage & movies) is a part of American life?” I do to a small extent but not as much as some of you, who’re addicted to TV. We should not accept *Playing *Acting *Pretending as normal for ANY adult – children do this. Please never say so-n-so is a good “actor.” Acting is a Farce. It’s False. A kid who does well in a church/school play may enter the dark world of hollywood/disney & be eternally LOST. Don’t go to ANY plays. Run from ALL acting. – 3/16/23
Act 17.24
“God that made the world & all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven
& earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;”
People sometimes speak of the Big Picture. Some may think they KNOW what the Big Picture is but have only glimpsed a small “corner” of it. Others see/know more about the Big Picture but still fail at grasping reality. There is truly only one Big Pic & that’s what God sees – He sees it e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. God’s holy people are the sole humans (on earth) who come anywhere close to seeing the Big Pic & I have no doubt He limits what saints can see – we could not handle any thing near an unedited view. – 3/17/23
“…Till the last trumpet calls him to judgment; where the inquiry will be how humbly, how devoutly, how purely, how meekly, how piously, how charitably, how heavenly we have spoken, thought & acted.”
