Quote of the Day

"For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the Tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins"
- Ephraem the Syrian, A.D. 373
 
By Lee Brainard

"Those invested in the markets are fleeing to gold and silver for security. Those invested in Jesus are fleeing to his everlasting arms for security."

 
This is rather longer than a short quote but it spoke to me today.

When stormy winds against us break
Stablish and reinforce our will;
O hear us for Thine own Name's sake,
Hold us in strength, and
hold us still.

Still as the faithful mountains stand,
Through the long, silent
years of stress;
So would we wait at Thy
right hand,
In quietness and steadfastness.

But not of us this strength, O Lord,
And not of us this constancy.
Our trust is Thine eternal word,
Thy presence our security.
~Amy Carmichael
 
It took God one night to get Israel out of Egypt; but 40 years to get Egypt out of Israel.

And so it is with us. Because of the Cross, it only takes a split second for God to get us out of sin; but it seems a lifetime to get sin out of us.

How wonderful will our sinless, glorified, bodies be!

"A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing"

So few churches have kneelers, and even there, so few (who can) make use of them.

Along with the discarding of the traditional liturgical services, traditional hymns, and traditional church architecture, has been the discarding of traditional worship practices and traditional art/accoutrements, which teach and remind us of Who God is and who we are :cry:
 
Saw a nice bumper sticker in the back window of a vehicle today:


It doesn't matter who's President
because JESUS is King


No idea if a disappointed Christian DFL (Minnesota's deep dark blue), a conservative Christian taking aim at the PC/woke stuff (magnet state for all of it), a Christian of any type trying to be concilliatory (at least to other Christians), a Christian doing his or her part in The Great Commission, or some combination.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
