Animal Magnetism

See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition
and the basic principles of this world
rather than on Christ.
~ Colossians 2

She's Like A Rainbow...

I have set my rainbow in the clouds,
and it will be the sign of the covenant
between me and the earth.
~ Genesis 9

The Human Project

Therefore, since Jesus suffered in his body,
arm yourselves also with the same attitude,
because he who has suffered in his body
is done with sin.
As a result,
he does not live the rest of his earthly life
for evil human desires,
but rather for the will of God.
For you have spent enough time in the past
doing what pagans choose to do—
living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness,
orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
~ 1 Peter 4

Behind The Door

I know your deeds.
See, I have placed before you an open door
that no one can shut.
I know that you have little strength,
yet you have kept my word
and have not denied my name.
~ Revelation 3

Stand Firm...

The LORD said to Joshua,
Stand up! What are you doing down on your face?
Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant,
which I commanded them to keep.
They have taken some of the devoted things;
they have stolen, they have lied,
they have put them with their own possessions.
That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies;
they turn their backs and run
because they have been made liable to destruction.
I will not be with you anymore
unless you destroy whatever among you
is devoted to destruction.
Go, consecrate the people.
Tell them,
Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow;
for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
That which is devoted is among you, O Israel.
You cannot stand against your enemies
until you remove it.
~ Joshua 7

House Of Exile

Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses:
If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,
but if you return to me and obey my commands,
then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon,
I will gather them from there
and bring them to the place I have chosen
as a dwelling for my Name.
They are your servants and your people,
whom you redeemed by your great strength
and your mighty hand.
~ Nehemiah 1

A Simple Twist Of Fate

What is twisted cannot be straightened;
what is lacking cannot be counted.
~ Ecclesiastes 1

Only The Strong Survive...

I write to you, fathers,
because you have known him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you are strong,
and the word of GOD lives in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
~ 1 John 2

Story Of My Life...

Then he took the Book of the Covenant
and read it to the people.
They responded,
"We will do everything the LORD has said;
we will obey."
~ Exodus 24

What Keeps Mankind Alive?

I am the Living One;
I was dead, and behold I am alive
for ever and ever!
And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
~ Revelation 1

My Head Is Spinning~

As I looked, thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
~ Daniel 7
