Ye are pathetic.

Spoof on you

Ye stupid stone and stock in complementary wretchedness.

Though America loves ye in all her cravings for your fertility and sex, I do laugh at ye this Christmas season, ye big-bellied rolls of god and goddess fat.

Last Sunday, we meditated on the words of Jesus:

Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

There is so much we learn about the Son and so much we learn about the Father.  But we haven’t even begun to plummet the depths of God’s glory.

“O when we view God’s grand design,

To save rebellious worms,

How vengeance and compassion join

In their sublimest forms.

Our thoughts are lost in rev’rent awe–

We love and we adore;

The first archangel never saw

So much of God before!

Here each Divine perfection joins,

And thought can never trace,

Which of the glories brightest shines–

The justice or the grace.”

His article displays misconceptions.

Jesus Christ, the living Word, is the encompassing treasure of the written Word.  Of course, the LORD’s word, written by Spirit-controlled men, glorifies the living Word.  The Bible’s main subject is not us.  It is God.  It is His voice, and not simply man’s voice.  It is an authoritative voice.  A life-transforming voice.

But what modern prophet is there today who is giving a regular message from God on par with scripture that must be recognized as canon for all ages?

I just read Fox news.

No doubt this could be one of the major court battles on the horizon in America.

American Mormon Zion is under siege.  And the opposing armies are showing no signs of relenting.

Here.

I rejoice with her.

1. There is Sunshine in My Soul Today (more…)

1.  After the opening announcements the week before last Sunday, our Patch the Pirate Club began our morning worship with the song, “Humble Yourself Before the Lord.” 

 

Listening to these little ones, I thought of Matthew 18:1-4: 

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

2.  It was a peculiar setup on this Sunday morning.  It is not normally this way.  We retained the setup from the Friday/Saturday ladies’ conference; a hundred ladies had gathered to hear Faye teach them from the book of Jonah.

 

 

The tables were the perfect objects in the auditorium for assisting us in thinking about the thirteen gathered around a table the last night of Jesus’ life on this earth.  One of them was the betrayer whom Jesus sovereignly dismissed.

 

John 13:18-30 reveals the humanity of Jesus.  This Man knew perfectly the utter depths of emotion, being “troubled in spirit”.  For the third time now, we see this in John’s Gospel.

 

And secondly, John 13:18-30 declares Jesus as the all-knowing Prophet.  He is the heart-knower of all.  And he knows whether you are real or whether you just wear the religious mask.

Have a great day everyone!
