A CHRISTIAN THREAD

[tom_no.1]

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!

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?

The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?

Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother of the many that passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;
Does the man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?

As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God will say,
"You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today".


Eph.6:10-17.

Hi......have been reading this thread for awhile...and as always..what starts off good gets "goofed up":-( Too Bad)..........I'm out of here !!!!!!!!!

Did you know that:

Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire Bible?

Psalm 117, before Psalm 118 is the shortest chapter?

Psalm 119, after Psalm 118, is the longest chapter?

The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters after Psalm 118?

If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters?

1188, or Psalm 118, verse 8 is the middle verse in the
entire Bible?

So, what does the middle verse in the Bible say?

"IT IS BETTER TO TAKE REFUGE IN THE LORD
THAN TO TRUST IN MAN" PSALM 118:8

Remember: WE ARE THE KINGS' KIDS !!!

My dear Dad would always remind me of this fact
when I was feeling down, I sure miss him, but his
words stay with me forever.:-D

Hugs to everyone!!!

[wattie515]

Thanks for reminding me, Diane :-x

Tom, yes, very busy. But it's all an answer to prayer, so I'm grateful!

Shirley; Hi. We've never spoken before, I don't think, but it appears that we are sisters in Christ, so this
(((((hug))))) is for you.

No matter what anyone says or does, it doesn't take away our faith in Him. People can try all they want to wreak havoc, and can even be quite successful at it at times. But here's the thing, even if they win battles, we all know who wins the war in the very end. No one can pluck us from His hand. 🙂 Isn't that wonderful?! I find that very comforting because sometimes (okay, too often), I'm not so strong. But He is strong.

((((extra hugglies for anyone who wants 'em)))

[oldhorselover-aways]

Thanks for the hugs Laurie:-x

Eph.6:10-17.

[mazyvr]

Just for you guys; one of my favourite hymns

The king of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine for ever.

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home rejoicing brought me.

In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!

And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house for ever.

Good Morning Everyone:-D

Thought for the Day...............


Be thankful for the Past,

Have courage for the Present,

and faith, for the Future.

[survivornikki]

Nice posts! Mazyr--lovely hymn.:-x

[tough_old_bird]

Another thought for the day:

~Troubled waters are not here to drown us, but to cleanse us.~

(I don't know about anyone else, but this has been so incredibly true in my life. I've had to allow that cleansing or I surely would have drowned.)

Hello everyone, Watched the movie about the Emperor Penguins tonight for the first time. Beautiful, moving, and awesome what these creatures endure for their young.:-)

[thetickletrunk]

Yes, a fabulous movie! I'm glad penguins are getting more attention nowadays, maybe from that movie. We have Happy Feet too.

Hey Sir Tom - loved post #838

Thanks for that!

Sorry for the hijack, but most of my favourite people post here and I have no other way to reach them.

Prayers for all.

This morning I woke up with songs of praise in my head (and heart).

I like it when that happens.
