What saith the word is always a good test. The only real test. It sets aside feelings, emotions, tradition, culture. What is God's word on the subject? His view is the one that counts.

I am always puzzled at many that make, paintings and draw supposed images of Jesus. The scripture tells us so plainly that we are not to MAKE ANY IMAGE of God whatsoever. They transgress the word. In every movie that features the stereotypical catholic church there are always the statues...

Have you noticed, and I know you have, that everyone everywhere seems to be in some terrible fix. Some brow wrinkling affliction that strains to the max. Every member of my original childhood home is in some dire strait. Jimmy, my DAV brother nearest me In age has only 40% kidney function. Judy...

All creatures great and small on YouTube are very well done.

Except for posts on prayer forums such as this one, a little news maybe, the Bible is my chief reading material. I refuse to read commentaries as I believe God will show each of us what we need to see in the word. He tells us this plainly in 1 John 2:27 1 John 2:27 KJVS But the anointing which...

Upon reading your post title the scripture that sprung to mind; Isaiah 50:7 KJVS For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. I have not arrived. But I can say that He's done much to bring...

I look around as I sit here and I know that He is here with me. With us. Though we live mostly separate from humankind except for a random food shopping trip when we do see others. He never leaves. If I go He goes with me. I don't have to go to a building somewhere to find Him. I've heard...

My doctor prescribed a pill for me but I freed myself from it after a few days struggle. It was good to be free from dependency on a sleeping pill. When I decided to shake that pill the Lord gave me a dream. It was night and as I walked a bulldog like animal was grabbing my foot and attacking...

Age brings sleeping trouble sometimes and many younger have problems with sleeping. Reading the Bible aloud always helps. I've listened to worship music on my phone and drifted off. Psalm 132:3-5 KJVS Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; [4] I will...

We were numb. We buried our daughter that day and were exhausted and torn. My wife's older sister, in her fifties, and her fiance Mike were still at our house along with my wife and Sue's mother. My MIL had to have a ride home so we asked Sue if she and Mike would mind. Not a great request and...

The net is shutting down magazines. As a kid I lived for the old outdoor magazines and columns like Robert Ruark's the "old man and the boy". I intend to get the book from Amazon. Had a copy of Ernest Thomson Seton's "Rolf in the woods" which I read at least twenty times. Wouldn't mind reading...

Trouble sleeping? Meditate on these words, read them aloud. God wants us to sleep well. Matthew 26:45 KJVS Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Even at the...

Thank God we homeschooled ours. No TV in the house for first seven years. They have not departed from the way.

Beyond all our imaginations is His grace. My wonder is that He didn't give up on me long ago. His love is beyond our expression. A made thing, a mere clay pot like us trying to understand the greatness of the potter is the greatest excercise in futility there is. As to His sense of humor just...

Once I asked God about something that puzzled me. I said Lord, the Bible always talks about the right arm of the Lord, the arm of the Lord is exalted and so forth. Why doesn't it mention your left hand or arm? With characteristic humor mixed with wisdom He replied "I've never found anything so...

He'll change your mind for you. When we had our children after 14 years we began to think of schooling. Home schooling. At the first it seemed impossible. How can we do this? After time our thinking was changed to "how can we not do this"? We are always responsible to hold onto the new life He...

It's the Holy Spirit within us doing the work. If I work at some thing spiritual the worse I get. It's Him in me working. He changes our want to's. It's like when He first saved me and I didn't know what saved was. Some things suddenly and some gradually. He changes your "want to's". I couldn't...

Thanks T1300. One of the hardest things is laying your troubles down and leaving them at the cross.

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there Charles A. Tindley ca 1916 If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold, And you have to get along with meager fare, Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird— Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. Refrain...
