1666  Theology / General Theology / Re:"Accepted with Him" on: February 19, 2004, 07:34:01 PM
2Cr 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

To fear God is  to reconize  His Sovereignty, to know nothing in our lives is hidden from Him.  All the reigns of our hearts, all of our thoughts, our conversation, our plans, our actions, our agendas, our priorities,  our stewarship, our security, our dreams, our comfort, our possessions, our needs, our desires, are tried by Him, and must meet His approval.  

God`s  sovereignty demands that He be more than a simple belief, or a doctrine, or focal point of theology, but He must be a burning presence in our lives, one that cleanses and perfects and prepares us for fellowship with Him, for we know sin cannot abide in His presence, for our God is a Holy God.

Above All

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all...


Artist: Rebecca St. James

Awesome! Worship songs  dont get any more beautiful than this!

Till you come home again
is a beautiful poem by gifted poet Allison Chambers Coxsey. Send this Flash movie to our troops serving in Iraq. It is a heartfelt prayer for their safety and home coming.

1671  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:Why I Read the Authorized KJV Bible on: February 18, 2004, 06:46:05 PM

If a person feels comfortable with the KJV, fine. It's a decent translation. That's what it is, a decent translation - nothing more.

Confirming the statement?  "At the same time the world will point to Christianity and say, "They don't even have a definitive word of God. Anybody can write a Bible." They already say that the Bible was "just written by men".



(BEP, I just came across  this thread, if its out of place, its because its a old one)   Undecided
"I don't think that a discussion of accurate translations of the Holy Bible is a waste of time. This is a valid concern."
Very valid!

BEP it is so a bible study...sorta    Undecided

Oklahoma Howdy to Shylynne,

 Wink  UM??, everyone forgot their Bibles and there are no Scriptures to discuss. Nobody even brought a commentary or a good book about the Bible.   Wink

Don't take it personal - notice the smilies. The Bible Study Area is reserved for the Holy Bible, Scriptures, and discussion of Scriptures.

Love In Christ,
Tom



Tis ok BEP...I was just letting you know that I noticed that you noticed that I was`nt preaching the word there and you moved me  Wink ...oh and your are definately instant in and out of season lol.


Reba I think the reasoning of some is meant to remain confusing  *still laughing*

1675  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:Homeschool on: February 18, 2004, 11:46:20 AM
Good article...for those who homeschool...as well as the rest of us.

As Christian home educators, we have recognized that our first area of ministry is within our own homes. We know that although we may not be able to reach the whole world, we certainly are responsible before God to be faithful stewards over whatever is within our own jurisdiction, which according to Scripture beings with ourselves and own households. The warning and teaching in wisdom that we do, like charity, begins at home. The first persons whom we want to present mature in Christ are ourselves and our children. Excellence in that sphere then qualifies us to serve in a larger arena, as a household devoted to ministry. If we are Christ's ambassadors, then our homes are his embassies. This is a most important concept in Christian home education.

It is too easy for us to get bogged down in the immediate and necessary concerns (how to teach math or spelling) while losing sight of the eternal, benefits of training our children for Christ. Though school subjects are very important, in the eternal scheme of things it may not matter whether our children learn Latin and trigonometry. However, it certainly will matter that we have ministered Christ to them and equipped them to minister, as well.

      The life of Christ within us is a treasure. The gifts and callings we hold in trust from God are treasures. Our children are treasures, and our vision of raising them for Him is a treasure. These precious treasures are worth cherishing and developing.

      However, since we and our children inhabit earthen vessels, we find many occasions to fall short. If we expect perfect performance, in them, or in ourselves, we most surely will be frustrated and disappointed. We can only strive for excellence, not absolute perfection, and even then whatever excellence we achieve must be of God and not of mere human effort. This process of pressing toward the mark requires our total and continual dependence on the Lord. Without Him we can do nothing, but through Christ we can do all things - even raise and educate godly children in the 1990's.  The task calls for high standards and bended knees.- (I like that!)

Simply a beautiful poem!

for: common use
from: uncommon hands

What are You making?
the first question I thought to ask
when I raised my eyes from the maddening blur around me
and noticed the strong hands that were shaping me so gently

These eyes have not been completely formed yet
I strive to keep them fixed on You
but my periphery is filled with so many indistinct images...
I want to clutch at them
but, as yet, do not have hands to reach
If I caught hold of them, what would I do with them anyway?
Only You can open my eyes
to the means behind these ends
Yet I cannot help but wonder,
as they pass me again and again,
are they mere wishful contrivances,
these vague reeling visions,
or will they help shape my earthenware horizons?

The questions fill my clay-for-brains
and I long to ask You again
It takes every bit of strength You have built within me
to let go of the desire
to see my entirety (just a glimpse?)
But the whirring of the wheel and the nearness of Your hands
gives me assurance,
knowing that You are still at work
in the midst of the blur
(for I still need work)

Your creativity astounds me
You pulled me out of the mold
(sweet rescue)
and placed me on Your wheel
Please, if You will,
leave a few fingerprints...
I want every contour to reflect Your workmanship

I glory in being Your brainchild,
You whose hands are creativity in flesh...
I love to feel them shaping me,
knowing that Your model is a looking glass reflection of You

This hollow You are creating within me,
pray shape it such
that only You can fill it...
I long to be filled with Your divine energy
so that I might share it
with all the other earthenware vessels that surround

Please shape my small hands
to serve in a humble way
For I know that You have prepared my place
amongst the common clay creations

All I am is what Your hands have made me
and that is all I ever want to be

Filling in the blur,
Your tender hands give definition
to my nondescript future self
I clutch this dream in my still-forming mind
that one sweet day,
You will give the great wheel one final spin
and I'll find that the half-formed appendages
You have toiled over so long
have become my wings
And I'll fly away (o glory)

I'll fly away

And on that day, I will have my answer
when You place me before Your looking glass
and the work of Your hands meets my clear vision...
I will see no trace of the mere dust and water
that You originally lifted to Your wheel
These elements of earth will be transformed
into a one of a kind piece of heavenware,
every contour bearing my Potter's mark.

["Does not the Potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?" ~ Romans 9:21]

Ho...Ly...Crap...?  

I thought I was in for a visionary experience unlike any in the history of mankind on this thread...

and they are only discussing X-men  Roll Eyes

Is`nt there some kind of  unwritten law about using the word Holy in vain?   Lips Sealed

1679  Theology / Apologetics / Re:How do you know Jesus was not just an average man? on: February 18, 2004, 06:53:21 AM
"Anyhoo, how do you know that Jesus was not just an average man who thought he was the Messiah."


The answer to that is so simple it may be shrugged aside as too easy.  Any man, woman, or child who desires to know our Jesus, need only ask Him to make Himself real to them, and He will, and in a way that will leave no doubts. Ask Him for yourself athiest, unless your afraid what I say might make a believer out of you.  Wink

I like this thread!

"I was told  a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, I  locked mine in the cellar"

It`s funny, and it`s true!  21 years this month !  Cheesy

I loved the following article:

We want to be like Christ, and in marriage we are able to learn and to express many of His attributes. Love, sharing, giving, forgiving, wisdom, kindness, trustworthiness, patience, nobleness and goodness are a few that come to mind. The marriage will reflect the degree to which husbands and wives are succeeding. Our marriages reflect our godliness. None of us are perfect and we are all walking this path together. Understanding our frailties and our need for a close mate will go a long way towards making our lives as happy as they can be within the conditions we find ourselves

...and I LOVE the pic...I named it "Going for the Gold"  
 slow and steady wins the race!  Wink
