we saw blessings.  When we began to look

at ourselves, there were many problems."

TODAY'S PROMISE

 

"As soon as I pray,

you answer me;

you encourage me

by giving me strength."

(Psalms 138:3 NLR)

PROOF

Years ago I bought a small patch of woods

just for the taxes on it.  My purpose was 

for a place to get away from it all.  You know,

go hide, get away from it all for a few hours

or camp some.

One of my greatest satisfactions with the 

little place was finding fossils, as the above,

all over the place just laying around on the

ground.  Without any digging or anything I

possibly have picked up a couple of dozen

of these fossils.

I talked to the neighbor who owns a lot of

acreage behind my place.  They have also

found an abundance of fossils on their property.

Enough so that they even had the University

of Arkansas come out and look it over.

[I assume the University had some kind of

an excuse for them being their to fit their

evolutionary THEORY.]

But consider the situation.  The area is 

situated between Clifty and Forum Arkansas.

The elevation is two thousand feet above 

sea level and possibly six hundred miles 

from any sea.

You and I both know that those shells and 

other little things did not crawl up there.

They are the result of what we call Noah's

flood, or the "deluge".

GOD'S WORD IS TRUE.

 

WHAT SOUND DO YOU PRODUCE?

"A good person produces good

things from the treasury of a good

heart, and an evil person produces

evil things from the treasury of an 

evil heart.  What you say flows from

what is in your heart."

(Luke 6:45 NLT)

Over many years I have observed something.

Our dogs always barked at some time or other.

Our cats always meowed at least some.

Our ducks quacked.

Our geese honked.

Our goats made their noises,

etc. etc. etc. etc.

Also over the years I have observed a number

of professed Christians.  But, I am still waiting

for the sound of a Christian to come from them.

There are no sounds coming from them that 

would distinguish them from the rest of the world.

Is that God given nature even in them?

Even the thought of a professing to belong

to Christ, but not "possessing" Christ is

scary. 

 

TODAY'S PROMISE

"Jesus looked at them intently

and said, "Humanly speaking,

it is impossible.  But with God

everything is possible."

(Matthew 19:26 NLT)

 

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

I would hope this is a totally unnecessary post.

But having an account with Facebook, I see

a lot of stuff from all over the world that is

purely from the evil one.

Of course a good number of my friends are

family members.  Two men in particular are

not even trying to please God in any way.

But they are very vocal about their filthy

life styles.  And, you guessed it, they want

total freedom to say anything they want to

the whole world.

After one of their tirades I could not help

but post the following.

FREEDOM OF SPEACH

Most of you want freedom of speech so

that you can spew your filthy language

and opinions all over the world.

But God said;

“Don’t use foul or abusive language.

Let everything you say be good and

helpful, so that your words will be an

encouragement to those who hear them.”

(Ephesians 4:29 NLT)

ARGUE WITH GOD ABOUT FREE SPEECH.

As for me,

I want to be free to speak in a 

way that is pleasing to God.
