Welcome to a place where Christ should be exalted and "Self" should be abased!!

Welcome to a place where the BIBLE can be discussed rationally, intelligently, and positively without unnecessary argument!!

Welcome to a place where prayer can be requested and encouraged!!

Welcome to a place where positive and encouraging thoughts from scripture can be shared in a caring and loving way!!

Welcome to a place away from all the arguments, recriminations, and negativity of the outside world!!

Welcome to a place of rest and safety!!

Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Welcome to this Christian thread.



(Please leave all aggression, bitterness, and philosophy outside the door and please wipe your feet before coming inside!!)


  

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!


Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph.6:11.
Eph.6:10-17.

Good Mornin All....:-x

~~~~~~

After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, "Mom, I've decided to become a minister when I grow up."
"That's okay with us, but what made you decide that?"
"Well," said the little boy, "I'll have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit and listen." ;-)

(((Julie)))--what a wonderful Mother's Day-- you richly deserve it.

(((Andrew)))

(((Debbie))) My sister, daughter and I found ourselves with nothing special to do yesterday. We planned a dinner, let the men cook, and I set my table with my best. Then we all gathered and toasted Mothers. Memories of mothers who have gone on. Hugs to mothers of special needs children, mothers whose children have died, mothers whose children are missing, women who have mothered our children.

I'd like to add hugs to anyone who is dealing with grief.

Wow! It's been a long time since I popped in here and a lot seems to have happened. I haven't been able to read all of the posts, but wanted to say hi anyway.

An update on FIL, he's doing so much better now! He's out and about on his own driving and walking every day. He's well on the road to recovery. Thank you all for your prayes. Prior to his heart attack, he also had a condition called scleroderma which is largely untreatable. When he had a follow-up appointment with his specialist (a new one, his former one retired) after the surgery, she told him he didn't have scleroderma at all. There is no record in his medical files at all and he has no symptoms. He looks better than he has in years.

Good morning, all! 😉

Enjoy your day! :)

Just heard the news on TV, Nik. My first thought was to rejoice. Imagine the jewels in his heavenly crown!

Walk with Jesus, Jerry.

A Traveller’s Guide to Heaven
Accommodation: Arrangements for first-class accommodation have been made in advance.

In my Father’s house are many rooms…I am going there to prepare a place for you (John 14:2).

Passports: Persons seeking entry will not be permitted past the gates without having proper credentials and having their names registered with the ruling Authority.

Nothing impure will ever enter it…but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27).

Departure Times: The exact date of departure has not been announced. Travellers are advised to be prepared to leave at short notice.

It is not for you to know the times or the dates, which the Father has set by his own authority (Acts 1:7).

Tickets: Your ticket is a written pledge that guarantees your journey. It should be claimed and its promises kept firmly in hand.

Everyone who hears my message and has faith in the one who sent me has eternal life and will never be condemned. They have already gone from death to life (John 5:24).

Customs: Only one declaration is required while going through customs.

I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4).

Immigration: All passengers are classified as immigrants, since they are taking up permanent residence in a new country. The quota is unlimited.

They were longing for a better country—a heavenly one…for he has prepared a city for them (Hebrews 11:16).

Luggage: No luggage whatsoever can be taken.

We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it (1 Timothy 6:7).

Air passage: Travellers going directly by air are advised to watch daily for indication of imminent departure.

We who are still alive and are left will be caught up, with them, in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

Vaccination and inoculation: Injections are not needed, as diseases are unknown at the destination.

He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever (Revelation 21:4).

Currency: Supplies of currency may be forwarded ahead to await the passenger’s arrival. Deposits should be as large as possible.

Store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them (Matthew 6:20).

Clothing: A complete and appropriate new wardrobe is provided for each traveller.

He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10).

Time changes: Resetting of watches will not be necessary. Nor will the watches.

The city did not need the sun or the moon. The glory of God was shining on it, and the Lamb was its light…and night never comes (Revelation 21:23, 25).

Reservations: Booking is now open. Apply at once.

The time has come. This is the day for you to be saved (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Coronation ceremony: The highlight of the journey is the welcoming reception and the coronation which will await each new arrival.

There is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and…also to all who have longed for his appearing (2 Timothy 4:8).

~Marcelle Price

((((Julie)))) Great post. My DMIL was a Mormon, and at her funeral, one of the people giving her eulogy started to cry. She then talked about the tears being only for her personal loss that she felt joy for my DMIL. It affected her sons (none of who go to church) profoundly and comforted them.

Hugs to all who need them.
