Quote of the Day

Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer! 🍺
Martin Luther

(Lutheran Monks in Germany and elsewhere historically brewed beer ("Monk Beer"), and some Lutheran monasteries still do)
 
This is from DL Moody's audio book (free) titled the Ten Commandments. He tells of an anonymous list of the Commandments that is paraphrased, from the mid 1800s

The First Commandment is: You shall have no other gods before Me.

The paraphrase: Love to God admits no other god.
 
Billy Graham HQ? Me too! Wish I was a little closer but we’re about an hour away in NC. Do you mean there?

No.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was headquartered in Minneapolis until 2003.

Rev. Billy Graham's Rise Began in Minnesota​

 
Whoops! Slipped my aging brain!

The only reason I know is because I grew up here.

University of Northwestern in Saint Paul is still running, and I listen to the radio station he/they started every day (Faith Radio).
Billy Graham preached the first sermon on Faith Radio (before I was born)

I didn't listen to this station growing up. I don't know what Mom and Dad would have said if I had found it and tried to listen, since Baptist. They were extremely restrictive on what we could listen to . . . classical music, sacred (organ/choir) music, news/some talk radio (it was clean back then), and sports (Twins and Packers) When I was a teen, I heard Lutheran Vespers on late at night after a Twins game (same station) and listened without Parents finding out :lol: That probably would have been OK, though.
 
"Truly this was the Son of God."
Centurion and Soldiers, who crucified Jesus and witnessed what occurred before and when He died.


54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Matthew 27:54, KJV
 
In this life our days are numbered and every good day is welcomed and we want to hold on to that.
Job 14:5
Our days are ever changing. Those difficult days we contend with can feel so long, and while other days are seemingly better, more often than not we find yet another surprising difficult challenge to contend with.

But because we have a Hope of a coming glory that is eternal, and unchangeable, this is our motivation to continue to run our difficult and challenging race to the finish, because this Hope is guaranteed by The God of Mercies Who is Trustworthy and He Who has Promised is Faithful.

Let's Run this race together!
We All receive the same prize....
Out eternal glory in our Salvation through our faith in Jesus

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
2 Corinthians 4:17

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10:23

"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13-14

Dont get discouraged by what we sre seeing! I’m convinced that the same people that are laughing and scoffing at the watchmen today will be the same people in the tribulation that will be shaking their fist and blaspheming the God of Heaven as well as trying to run to the caves to hide from the very one they acknowledge is pouring out his wrath from Heaven! Just keep preaching the Gospel, keep warning the people and keep faithful to the call! We’re almost home!

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,”
Romans 1:18

“Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.””
Jude 1:14-15

“And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.” Revelation 16:21

“And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”” Revelation 6:15-17

“They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.” Revelation 16:11
