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.

It does give me a little chuckle that many people think all Christians are Puritans. I think, "you ought to meet my friends".

God does have a sense of humor....we are created in His image and we have a sense of humor...or at least some of us....heehee

Proof:
When God created woman He gently took her from Adam's side to walk arm and arm with him equally. And she has been trying to put that rib back ever since. 🙂

all Christians as Puritans ???? ....oh no...that was a political party within the body of Christ....it had many fine Christians among its numbers for sure...it also had some who may not be in glory with us....
most Christians I know are very fine people (there are always exceptions) .... and I don't think any of us would look good in stocks...just because we broke some rule....
My Fathers frown is enough to keep me in line...and His love over looks my many faults.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope each one's day is going well.:-x

Had taken today off work to do somethings around the house and to list a few more prints in turbo lister. Was having a sort of blah day for a number of reasons. Have to stop watching the horrors on the news I think. My heart aches for so many in this world.

Anyway was preparing a print to be scanned and on the reverse side was another print with a Bible verse.

1Cor. 11.9 Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

He kind of blasted the blahs away with His word to my heart. Anyway thought I would share. Have a great one folks.

Oh by the way if anyone has the keys to the stocks I think Julie may need them. 😉

Andrew, thanks for the post. You have such a good way of lifting us. No coincidences.

No keys--but I do have a saw, would that help?

Beautiful, beautiful day on the coast, there are deer on the beach, the sea is calm, hope it is the same in your corner of the world.

Hi nikki ((hugs)) to ya.
Lovely day here also. Nice breeze and yet the sun is hot.
For Father's Day the girls here got me a hammock for the deck. Not sure if it really was for me...but anyway I take it just the same. LOL.

Got to relax in it in the sun for a bit. Very nice....

Am still thinking about the things that God as layed up for us. We cannot and will not even imagine what they are...as they are so much more then our understanding.

His love is only the beginning of it. And from there it only gets better. WOW.

Anyway have a great one.

If Tom and Gary are lurking. Have a great day in your lives. Havn't seen you posting in a bit.

Was speaking to a close friend from TO area last evening. He will be moving his family to China later in the year. God opened an opportunity there for him. We were discussing the matters of communication back and forth as that country is very closed as per christian communication. So we have been working out the codes to use and the methods of communicating. He and his family will need prayer as if it is discovered they are christians it may not be good for them. A mutual friend is making contact with the underground churches in northern China (of which some of us have supported over the years) for any assistance they may need. Would appreciate if you keep them in your prayers in the months and years ahead.
China doesn't know it but they will have a mighty prayer power house in their midst.
Take care every one.
