I remember in high school that we had to do some weight training. Everyone got a turn at bench pressing; some were able to push up 200 lbs. while others only managed 90 lbs.
I found myself somewhere in between lifting around 130 lbs. Continue reading
Ephesians
Under Warranty
We purchased a front loading washer in October 2009. When we did we also purchased an extended 4-year warranty.
That pretty well guaranteed that we’d be covered if the washer had problems.
It did; starting almost the first day we used it. Continue reading
Biblical view of Marriage
I saw a video in which someone made a sarcastic remark about the Biblical view of marriage.
What they said was, “Which view?”
Is it the one where you can marry many wives and have concubines, like Jacob, King David, or King Solomon? Continue reading
Chick-fil-A and Marriage
Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 16 And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. 2 Cor 6:14-16
There is so much happening on the news, that it is difficult to pick a story.
Currently one of the hot topics is a radio interview with Chick-Fil-A owner. Continue reading
Adopted
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. Eph 1:5
Our topic touched on adoption last night. Continue reading
Be Blessed
We had quite a different service last night.
Our Bible study has started in Ephesians, where we only read the first three verses. We halted on the third one; Eph 1:3-All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.
This tells us that He has blessed us! Continue reading
The message is SIN
Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. 3 John 11
I was thinking of how many things encourage us to sin. Just about every TV show, book and magazine pushes us farther from God and nearer to a life of destruction. Continue reading
The only eternal!
In 1898 Hal Aldridge sold his sawmill property at Rockland, Texas, and he built his new mill 11 miles to the east in extreme northwest Jasper County, on the banks of Neches River, where he controlled 300,000,000 feet of standing timber. Aldridge quickly grew to a town of 1,000 persons, and prospects for its future seemed very bright. Continue reading
Rumors vs Truth
Last Friday Linda texted me and said that the Broaddus school’s were on lock-down. What she heard and thus relayed to me was that the same man that had vandalized our church air-conditioners was out on bond and at it again. Continue reading
The Control of Anger
People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord. Prov 19:3
Last night Linda read me a really ignorant Facebook status comparing religion to something that utterly made no sense.
The person that made the comparison is angry at God about the things that have happened in their life. Continue reading
