No!
Yeah right lol.
Here is all I got to say to that:
"I'm wontyph gingham shipp"
Bahahahahahahahahahaha
You might :-).
You just might :-).
You
tired?
I bet you are.
Lets knock off early tonight and
try and get a good night's sleep.
Try.
Lol.
Yeah right.
My
passions?
Really?
God.
You.
The Bible.
Riding.
Music.
Writing.
Reading.
Couple other things.
Two in particular.
Make that three lol.
Wanna guess :-)?
Who ever believed that?
"Not only will this do nothing to reduce steel and aluminum capacity in China, it will more than likely prompt the European Union, Canada and Mexico to retaliate by imposing new tariffs on American products, hurting businesses and workers across the country. The president is also effectively isolating the United States from its closest allies — the very countries it needs to work with to put pressure on China to change its economic policies."
"Indeed, why would Europe, Canada and Mexico, which also suffer from Chinese overproduction of steel and aluminum, have any incentive to work with an administration that seems to care so little about the consequences of its actions on their economies and workers?"
"If the president’s intent is to establish a reputation as a champion of industry and workers, he is making a hash of it."
Who ever believed that?
Matthew 24:3-4
"As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,
the disciples came to him privately.
“Tell us,” they said,
“when will this happen,
and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you."
I
thought Batgirl was supposed to show up.
Or Danielle?
Where's she been lately?
Like I don't know lol.
So
have you?
We fill our holes,
our emptiness,
our loneliness
with things
and substances
and people
who will never matter.
Stop.
You don’t need to fill that hole with anything.
You need to be loved.
Heal.
Be gentle to yourself.
Did you?
"Find the one who will love you enough to help you repair that hole."
I already know sweetheart.
Matter
of time before NATO bites the dust.
Who said that a while back?
Who would that benefit again?
"President Trump’s decision to impose a 25-percent steel tariff and 10-percent aluminum tariff on key U.S. allies."
"The first of these divergences came almost exactly a year ago, when Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord, the first international treaty to combat climate change."
"The second major division came months later when Trump announced that the U.S. would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."
"Then there was Iran. In what has arguably been the greatest break in the the transatlantic alliance under the Trump administration, Washington announced earlier this month that the U.S. would withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal."
"Trump has also feuded with various EU countries over their response to terrorism and their NATO defense-spending contributions."
“Trade wars quickly become war—full stop,” Emmanuel Macron told the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development forum Wednesday in Paris."
"Trade ties could get even worse. Trump is reportedly considering imposing a ban on German luxury cars from U.S. markets, which would likely prompt further EU retaliation."
And yes, trade wars have, and do often times, lead to military conflicts.
Meet
"Seriously. What's wrong with you that you can't take a NO!?"
me somewhere Saturday and we can talk about it :-).
That and the fact you kept showing up
looking like dynamite
everytime I happened to turn around
might have had something to do with it lol.
Let the fun begin :-)
I have a very different opinion about school prayer than most Christians.
Zechariah 4:6
So he said to me,
“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’
says the Lord Almighty."
God doesn't want to force himself on people.
People want to force God on people.
It's counterproductive.
It drives more away than it does good.
It's perfectly fine to have disagreements in the church.
I've said all along I've come to challenge the religious and political
status quo of the day.
That is exactly what I intend on doing.
Everybody gets this so wrong.
If your in school?
And you want to pray?
Go right ahead.
Pray all day.
Pray at you locker.
Sitting at your desk.
In the hallways.
In the bathroom.
You don't have to bow.
You don't have to close your eyes.
You could do it all day and nobody would even know.
Don't think so?
Try it and see.
Seriously, I encourage you.
Try it and see.
NOBODY CAN STOP YOU!
It's not that you can't pray in school.
That's not it at all.
It's the fact that public school officials can't lead prayer.
It's been ruled to be a state sanctioning of religion.
I know, the pledge of allegiance, our coins,
the entrance to the supreme court itself, blah blah blah etc.
I'm not talking about that here.
If you let school officials lead Christian prayers?
Then they would have to allow for every other religion to do the same.
The very same people that want public school officials to lead prayer in schools?
Would be the very same ones to lose their minds if it was
a Buddhist, or Muslim, or Pagan or Wiccan prayer being said.
So I repeat:
If your in school?
And you want to pray?
Go right ahead.
Pray all day.
Pray at you locker.
Sitting at your desk.
In the hallways.
In the bathroom.
You don't have to bow.
You don't have to close your eyes.
You could do it all day and nobody would even know.
Don't think so?
Try it and see.
Seriously, I encourage you.
Try it and see.
These people that want prayer back in schools so bad?
Did they ever bother to tell you this?
Brother Brian did a great job the other day
in pointing out the breaking down of the moral fabric
of our country since the supreme court ruling
that public school officials could no longer lead prayer.
I think there are a lot of other factors in play as well,
but that's another post lol.
I have a very different outlook.
That could just be the understatement of the year :-).
Revelation is the most ignored book of the bible.
If more Christians would attempt to tackle it?
And more preachers preach about it?
And there was more bible study done about it?
Then more Christians might come to a better understanding of the trajectory we are on.
That's my outlook.
That's where I'm coming from.
I can guarantee you one thing.
We won't go back.
So instead of being upset about public school officials no longer being able to lead prayer?
Tell your children and your youth groups this:
If your in school?
And you want to pray?
Go right ahead.
Pray all day.
Pray at you locker.
Sitting at your desk.
In the hallways.
In the bathroom.
You don't have to bow.
You don't have to close your eyes.
You could do it all day and nobody would even know.
Don't think so?
Try it and see.
Seriously, I encourage you.
Try it and see.
It's about time don't you think?
Matthew 5:11-12
Matthew 5:11-12
“Blessed are you when people insult you,
persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil
against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad,
because great is your reward in heaven,
for in the same way they persecuted
the prophets who were before you.
Creeper
she says.
She always forgets:
Her jaw dropped.
Not mine.
(Not then anyway, it has plenty of times since lol)
She stalked me in the parking garage
a minimum of three times.
Thats just the times I caught her.
No telling how many times total.
Once?
Once at 10 PM at night on her vacation day!
Who does a drive by in a parking garage
at 10 PM on a vacation day?
Drove right by.
Didn't so much as look in my
direction when I wasn't 10 feet away waving at her.
Shows up in the lobby when she knew I'd be there.
Admitted she used "every kind of ridiculous way to get your attention."
Really?
Who knew?
She was the one that reached out on a dating site to find me.
So who is the creeper here really :-)?
Honestly?
I'm glad you were.
I thought it was great.
One of my favorites was the long text telling you how hot
I thought you were and how intelligent
and how I wanted to get to know everything about you etc.
And you said. "I do not feel the same."
And I said, "Ok, thanks."
And left it at that.
And the next day, the very next fucking day?
You were in the parking garage waiting on me.
I bet you were losing your mind when I said,
"Ok, thanks." and left it at that.
Didn't you know that was all kinda the plan?
Oh Dollbaby.
Looking back?
We both knew the chemistry was way over our heads.
That was pretty obvious.
But the day I knew you were leaving
and couldn't sleep and was texting you?
And you text back, "Please stop."
And I knew you were crying?
I even told you I knew.
That day?
That was the day I knew something
very different was at work here.
That this was not the least bit normal.
There is no way I should have felt like that.
But I did.
I'm just glad we didn't give up on each other
and that he brought us together.
I
always liked this record.
And your song :-).
War was their breakthrough.
Radio airplay with Sunday Bloody Sunday
and New Years Day.
Then The Unforgettable Fire record.
In the name of love echoed the sound of the War record
but the rest was somewhat experimental,
atmospheric etc.
It was a transitional record.
Die hard fans from Boy to War were pissed.
They didn't like it much.
They wanted War II.
I loved it.
The fact that they didn't stay the same.
Besides?
It set the stage for what was next.
Awful
nice of your associates/friends whatever
to do your dirty work for you,
use their accounts etc.
:-).
Tell everybody I said hey.
What
will it take to get people to realize
what a bunch of idiots these ass clowns are?
Queue the Prince song.
"Sign..."
"Sign o' the times, unh
Time
Time
Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late"
Salvation only cost you your pride you know.
A
sort of homecoming she says.
Go time she says :-).
Lik I aint heard this all 100x already.
I love you Lucy.
K
Later then.
I can't imagine why youre busy lol.
Hey?
Sometimes you blow up my IG?
Sometime I blow up yours.
Just the way it works lol.
I love you.
TTYS.

past can only hold you back

Isaiah 46:9-13
Isaiah 46:9-13
Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’
From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned, that I will do.
Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted,
you who are now far from my righteousness.
I am bringing my righteousness near,
it is not far away;
and my salvation will not be delayed.
I will grant salvation to Zion,
my splendor to Israel.
Isaiah 44:24-26
Isaiah 44:24-26
“This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
I am the Lord,
the Maker of all things,
who stretches out the heavens,
who spreads out the earth by myself,
who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,
who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense,
who carries out the words of his servants
and fulfills the predictions of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem,
‘It shall be inhabited,’
of the towns of Judah,
‘They shall be rebuilt,’
and of their ruins,
‘I will restore them,’
Isaiah 41:10-13
Isaiah 41:10-13
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
“All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you,
Do not fear;
I will help you.
Isaiah 40:10
Isaiah 40:10
See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,
and he rules with a mighty arm.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.
Mark 10:29-31
Mark 10:29-31
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied,
“no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields
for me and the gospel
will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age:
homes,
brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields
—along with persecutions
—and in the age to come, eternal life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
Itspete__?
I would have left what I was doing
and went and helped you pack
and left with you right then.
Who ever heard somebody cry through a text?
I thought this is crazy.
This shouldn't be this intense.
It's like we've been together 20 years already and she's leaving.
Not like we've spent two hours together.
Oh
now we reach that threshold?
Im gonna make you wait.
Just like for real.
Here in a bit.
Bahahahahahahaha
Matthew 10:14-16
Matthew 10:14-16
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words,
leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.
Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah
on the day of judgment than for that town.

Sorry
HB.
One?
My girl is never that obvious.
Two?
Danielle looked more like Batgirl
and the mirror pic.
Most
people?
Wouldn't or couldn't read and write that much in a week.
Particularly if they are working full time and\or have kids.
Just no way.
They wouldn't have the time.
That's not even counting:
Planning.
Comprehending.
Editing.
Cut
Copy
Pasting
Posting.
Ect.
To think this isn't or wasn't part of the plan?
Foolishness.
I love you.
Switching gears.
Good night in case I fall asleep.
Probably rant and carry on to Space____z for a minute lol.
Ezekiel 18:21-32
Ezekiel 18:21-32
“But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?
“But if a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.
“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust? If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed they will die. But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life. Because they consider all the offenses they have committed and turn away from them, that person will surely live; they will not die. Yet the Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are my ways unjust, people of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
“Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Repent and live!
It's really not complicated.
Just got to be ready spiritually.
It's all you can do.
How
about?
We have a global trade war?
During the middle of another economic catastrophe.
While paying taxes to China for rights of passage through the South China sea.
While Russia, Iran and Turkey exert their influence in the middle east.
With Turkey leaving NATO and taking our Nukes with them.
In the middle of removing a sitting US president.
With Pakistan aligning with China and Iran.
And hell why not, throw in an Iran, Israel war.
With a side order of a worldwide outbreak of some unknown incurable virus?
Sound fun?
Think it's impossible?
Matthew 24:21-22
For then there will be great distress,
unequaled from the beginning of the world until now
—and never to be equaled again.
“If those days had not been cut short,
no one would survive,
but for the sake of the elect
those days will be shortened.
FYI
Wait till an outbreak comes along we don't have a vaccine for.
And we can't create one that works.
False Prophets go around telling everybody everything is going to be okay.
Ignore God.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Sounds like me right?
Context yo.
Cause
you know.
Nothing bad happened before right?
If you though the last economic meltdown was something?
Wait till the next one.
Matter of time.
The Federal Reserve proposed Wednesday to revise the Volcker Rule to apply to financial firms based on their trading activity.
The Volcker Rule was proposed during the financial crisis in an effort to prevent banks from speculating in markets.
The rule went into effect four years ago and generally prevents banks from trading for their own profit or having stakes in a hedge fund or private equity fund.
This
was probably it.
It's as close as I could find
from what I can remember anyway.
“Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Take yourself as seriously as death itself.
Don’t worry.
Worry your ass off.
Have iron-clad confidence,
but doubt.
It keeps you alive and alert!
Believe you are the baddest ass in town – and that you suck!
It keeps you honest.
Be able to keep two completely contradictory ideas alive and well
inside of your heart and head at all times.
If it doesn’t drive you crazy, it will make you strong.
And when you walk on stage tonight to bring the noise,
treat it like it’s all we have
– and then remember it’s only rock’ n’ roll.”
― Bruce Springsteen
It's kinda like what Deepak Chopra was saying.
Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run
“Now, some guys' five minutes
are worth other guys' fifty years,
and while burning out in one brilliant supernova
will send record sales through the roof,
leave you living fast,
dying young,
leaving a beautiful corpse, t
here is something to be said for living.
Personally, I like my gods old, grizzled and here.”
Me too :-).
Looking
for a quote and I can't find it.
This might interest you though.
“All I do know is as we age
the weight of our unsorted baggage
becomes heavier . . .
much heavier.
With each passing year,
the price of our refusal
to do that sorting rises higher and higher.”

Springsteen :-)
"One of the points I'm making in the book is that,
whoever you've been and wherever you've been,
it never leaves you,"
Springsteen said.
"I always picture it as a car.
All your selves are in it.
And a new self can get in,
but the old selves can't ever get out.
The important thing is,
who's got their hands on the wheel at any given moment?"
Gotta love it.

"I am not human.
I mean that with all of my heart.
I’m not.
I am not human.
I live in a human body.
I have a human brain.
But I... capital letter I...
I’m not my body.
This body that will one day break down and then die.
I’m not my mind.
I’m not my thoughts.
Those things are all sorts of messed up sometimes.
They’re wrong.
They tell me lies.
They want to keep me separate, addicted, alone.
ME is my soul.
My soul is truth and light and love.
We’re not “only human.”
We are a droplet of whole entire universe
wrapped up in a human body for the time being."
Well
I mean why would anybody ever think there was any collusion?
We only give them what they want every other day seems like.
"The
moment when it's missed."
This is another crucial element to following a dream.
You have got to recognize a moment when it is presented to you.
You have got to recognize it.
Seize it.
Commit to it at all cost.
Never give up on it.
Cause if you don't recognize it when it's in front of you?
A few years down the road you'll be stuck with the :
"Man I should have..." blues.
Promise.
How about he just doesn't know from one minute to the next?
"We can begin by noting that when the United States goes against international institutions and deals, for example, by imposing tariffs that violate World Trade Organization or other international agreements, aside from immediate negative economic effects, we give other countries good reason to mistrust the value of our word and to engage in similar behavior themselves. The calculus is that much worse because the United States had the overwhelmingly dominant role in setting up such institutions as the WTO in the first place. We did it because such international agreements and institutions are in our national interest."
"Focusing on the bilateral balance is a waste of time. Regardless what happens with China, the overall U.S. trade deficit will rise this year as a result of the Republican tax cuts, enacted at a time when the economy is already producing at the limit of its capacity."
"Similarly unmoored from both economic and legal logic are the tariffs that Trump has imposed on imports of steel and aluminum, and threatens to impose on automobiles and other goods. With respect to legal criteria, the national security justification that he has invoked is flimsy in the extreme and will likely inspire other countries to retaliate. With respect to economic criteria, the beneficiaries in the steel industry, for example, are vastly outnumbered by those who will be hurt because they use steel as inputs, they consume the final product, or they produce export goods that will be hit by the repercussions, such as farmers."
"It is easier to say what the Trump approach is not. It is not the deliberate or competent application of a coherent strategy informed by a clear set of American policy objectives, an understanding of the incentives of the other side, or an appreciation of the implications that impulsive tweets can have for the global system over the long term or even for the next move in the tactical game in the short term."
I
got something to say
about that Alpha post lol.
Later.
Lol
Lets just say I notice details.
And I like them lol.
Thank
goodness.
What an insult that would be.
You neither Knucklehead.
Lol
Long as I'm for you?
And you for me?
I'm good Dollbaby.

Acts 5:38-41
Acts 5:38-41
So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone,
for if this plan or this undertaking is of man,
it will fail;
but if it is of God,
you will not be able to overthrow them.
You might even be found opposing God!”
So they took his advice,
and when they had called in the apostles,
they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus,
and let them go.
Then they left the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
I've been telling people for years.
You will not stop this.
Your efforts are all useless.
Like always.
They never listen.
Love you Lucy.
At
the moment of surrender
I'm falling to my knees
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
I
was speeding off the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down till the pain will stop
At
the moment of surrender
I'm falling to my knees
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
I
was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
I've
been in every black hole
At the alter of a Dark star
My body s now begging
Though it's begging to get back
Begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my consciousness
To the rhythm of yes
To be released from control
At
the moment of surrender
I'm falling to my knees
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
We
set ourselves on fire
A girl could not deny her
Its not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh believe in me
The
stone was semi precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day
I
tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me
I
think this is a really great point.
It doesn't have to make sense.
Not to you.
Especially not to others.
If you know it's true?
If you know you can do it?
If you think you can do it?
If you just think you can get a lot closer
to your dream than you ever would
if you never tried?
Then just go do it.
Try your hardest.
Realize how hard it's going to be.
It doesn't matter lol,
it will still be 1000x harder
than you ever expected.
But don't let the fact that it doesn't
all make sense in the beginning be a hindrance.
Ever.
Bible Study
has been on the beatitudes.
Tonight?
Matthew 5:10-11
Blessed are those who are persecuted
(So please continue, I'm begging you, please)
because of righteousness,
(Don't get it wrong, not my righteousness
God almighty's righteousness.)
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Glory Hallelujah, Amen!)
“Blessed are you when people insult you,
(Lord knows I'm blessed then)
persecute you
(Yep.)
and falsely say all kinds of evil against you
(I think we all know it's true)
because of me.
(But it's not me they're attacking
It's him that they see in me they are attacking).
So please.
Keep on.
You're only making me stronger
and my reward in heaven grow greater.
Talk about right on time Lucy.
Just another coincidence right?
Yeah, sure.

Hebrews 11:1
Hebrews 11:1
Faith in Action
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Psalm 145:18
Psalm 145:18
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
The key here?
In Truth.
Matthew 5:45
Matthew 5:45
that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good,
and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
2 Corinthians 6:14
2 Corinthians 6:14
Warning Against Idolatry
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Philippians 4:6-7
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Jeremiah 33:3
Jeremiah 33:3
‘Call to me
and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable
things you do not know.’
Goodness will he ever.
Don't call to him if youre not ready.
Your mind will never be the same.
Promise.
Three is a perfect number.
Trinity.
Father Son Holy Spirit.
Funny then huh?
Jeremiah 33:3
Romans 10:9-10
Romans 10:9-10
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
If you don't
"believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead"
then you are not saved
and everything else you are doing to glorify him is a waste.
Period.
2 Corinthians 3:17
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit,
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 11:9-15
2 Corinthians 11:9-15
And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.
Their end will be what their actions deserve.
Romans 12:6-8
Romans 12:6-8
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.
If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;
if it is serving, then serve;
if it is teaching, then teach;
if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;
if it is giving, then give generously;
if it is to lead, do it diligently;
if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Romans 12:9-21
Marks of the True Christian
Let love be genuine.
Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
Love one another with brotherly affection.
Outdo one another in showing honor.
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Never be wise in your own sight.
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written,
“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
To the contrary,
“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink;
for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Luke 18:7
Luke 18:7
And will not God give justice to his elect,
who cry to him day and night?
Will he delay long over them?
What do you think Lucy?
Will he?
Don't we already know?
The delay?
His time.
Not ours.
Romans 1:18
Romans 1:18
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
Isaiah 1:15
Isaiah 1:15
When you spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
your hands are full of blood.
Again, this is hard to understand?
Zechariah 7:8-14
Zechariah 7:8-14
And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another,
do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.”
But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear.
They made their hearts diamond-hard lest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets.
Therefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. “As I called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear,” says the Lord of hosts,
“and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known. Thus the land they left was desolate, so that no one went to and fro, and the pleasant land was made desolate.”
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
"So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations,
a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.
Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.
But he said to me,
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
For the sake of Christ, then,
I am content with
weaknesses,
insults,
hardships,
persecutions,
and calamities.
For when I am weak,
then I am strong.
Think this one resonates Lucy?
A lil?
A lot?
Whats your best guess sweetheart?
Whole world knows already :-).
Jeremiah 29:12
Jeremiah 29:12
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
John 14:21
John 14:21
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them,
he it is who loves me.
And he who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
Proverbs 28:13
Proverbs 28:13
Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Jeremiah 17:10
Jeremiah 17:10
“I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Why is this so hard for people to understand?
Hebrews 10:26-31
Hebrews 10:26-31
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.”
And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
1 Timothy 5:17
1 Timothy 5:17
Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor,
especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.
2 Corinthians 9:7
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart,
not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver.
Ouch.
Love that one as well.
