Blessings Of Obedience

My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of GOD and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
~ Proverbs 3

Last Bongo In Belgium...

This stuff is still true. Deal with it.
Wake Up, Beards!

This is the message we have heard from him
and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with him
yet walk in the darkness, we lie
and do not live by the truth.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus, his Son,
purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin,
we deceive ourselves
and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned,
we make him out to be a liar
and his word has no place in our lives.
~ 1 John 1

Clear The Way ~

A voice of one calling:
"In the desert prepare the way for the LORD ;
make straight in the wilderness a highway for our GOD."
~ Isaiah 40

This Image Created By Mikael

Make straight the way for the Lord. "

Acid Bubble...

You tried to kill me off
Surprised I remain?
A scale tips impossible
Afraid of my own name
And I always paid attention
to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection
it shows and know
I am the child that lives
and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner.
Alone inside your mind?
Intend obsolescence
Built into the system...

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
~ Isaiah 40

Hit Me!

But how is it to your credit
if you receive a beating for doing wrong
and endure it?
But if you suffer for doing good
and you endure it,
this is commendable before God.
~ 1 Peter 2

Shut Up And Repent!

Repent therefore!
Otherwise, I will soon come to you
and will fight against them
with the sword of my mouth.
~ Revelation 2

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
