His Word

When I first came to the Romans VIII Ministries Church I attend in August of 1986 their slogan was and still is; God is God, His Word is True and He loves you.  [I thought, duh, I know that. Truth is I did not know that, at least to the Revelation I have now! Surely because of my upbringing and being made to go to Church (now I hear some say that was manipulation & child abuse!), I had heard about the Good News" and did know something of God's Love but, after all these years still learning more and more. Ephesians 3:17-20]

 This statement of David comes from 2 Samuel 7:28 where, earlier in the chapter, God had made David magnificent promises, one of them being a house for the Lord. Look at Psalm 132 to further get Davids vision and God's response, then 1 Corinthians 3:16 & 6:19 to get established in the fact that God is not speaking of a natural house but He wants to live in us and wants us to live in Him. More foundational Scripture of this is the "True" Lords prayer which can be found in John 17, especially versus 21-23.

This was on my heart this morning and there are so many more Scriptures that go with all this that we can spend eternity discovering them! Sounds pretty cool to me!

Have a great rest of the week and remember: God is God, His Word is true and He Loves YOU!

Mozart's birthday

Today, Jan. 27th 1756 marks the birthday of  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His baptismal name was Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. I figure with a name like that you must compose great classical pieces!

I have always enjoyed classical music and there is not too many compositions he did that I don't like! Many of the Classical radio stations are playing a lot of Mozart today so enjoy.

Have a great weekend,

Steve

Founding Fathers
by Kerby Anderson

 

 

    A number of authors have gone back to the writings of the founding fathers to gain insight into our current political and economic challenges. Jerry Newcombe with Truth in Action Ministries writes about Answers from the Founding Fathers. He has co-authored other history books with D. James Kennedy and believes that America became the most free and prosperous nation in history by following the political wisdom of our founders.

    A foundational principle in his book is the God is the source of our rights. We see this important principle whether we look at the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, or the U.S. Constitution. The book also documents from academic research done awhile ago that the Bible was cited in documents in the founding era more than any other source. And political perspectives on limited government as well as checks and balances also came from biblical ideas.

    Education in early America was thoroughly Christian. And religious liberty springs from biblical concepts of covenant and the proper role of the institutions of church and state. Even the economic foundation of America can trace some of its influence back to the writings of the founding fathers.

 


    Ron DeSantis writes about Dreams of our Founding Fathers. If the title sounds similar to Barack Obama’s book, Dreams of My Father, that is intentional. He quotes extensively from the Federalist Papers and other writings by the founders to counter many of the ideas expressed by the current president.


    Key to understanding the founders is to examine their “first principles” which Alexander Hamilton called “primary truths” in Federalist No. 31. These essays were written by him and James Madison and John Jay to make the case for ratification.


    They wrote about republican government, limited government, judicial authority, and even about the proper use of military power. When we compare what the founders wrote to the structure of government today, we see a stark contrast.


    It’s true that the founders didn’t get everything right. But they provided a mechanism to change the constitution through amendment. These two authors remind us of the wisdom of the founders we need as we confront the political and economic challenges today. I’m Kerby Anderson, and that’s my point of view.

A New years Resolve...instead of a resolution...

One of the meanings of resolution is resolve but a further study  shows that to be resolved is an even stronger position, a very definite and determined decision, as the Apostle Paul wrote about in Philippians 3:10, his determined purpose to know Him!I

Several "resolves" can be found in other places too. In the book of Ezra, chapter 7-verse 10 states that Ezra Had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to practice it and teach God's statutes and ordinances in Israel. A resolve to STUDY, PRACTICE & TEACH. Ezra 7:10

In Daniel 1:8 Daniel made up his mind, or, made that resolve...

Jesus said in Luke 21:14 to Resolve, settle it in your minds...

Anniversaries...

Websters defines this as a yearly recurrence of the date of a past event, the celebration or commemoration (a service, memorial of that event or person) of such a day. This is such a day since it was this day that my Daughter and best friend passed away. Seems like it happened just this morning yet also seems like it happened a thousand years ago too. Now comes the option or, what I call the power of choice. I will either let sadness & loneliness come in to rule or I will make that quality decision that the Psalmist David made...This is the day that the Lord has made, then, the power of choice comes in here...I will be glad and rejoice in it! I've found as I make the right choice, the choice to believe and trust in the Lord even if and when I don't understand, it is always at these times God comes mightily on the scene and I am lifted up in His Love, comfort, in His caring and probably most important for me, His Faithfulness.

So on this day of, yes, sadness but most of all it is, as others days are, a celebration in my heart of a most wonderful young lady that I respect so much, that again, by His faithfulness, He brings someone into my life that didn't just happen or was just by chance but truly a miracle! I would explain more but I don't think I can say it any better than what I read when I got up this morning...

"Can you fall in love with someone just from a conversation with so much in common? Or, if the other person has the same values from experiences, good, bad and sad...and still loves and trusts God and lives HIS word? Plus, if the other person can make you laugh so hard you are flinging laughter tears and your cheeks hurt from that laughing? I don't have to take a poll. Yes to all! :) Cannot wait for tomorrow!"

 I love you Cara and wish you were here to meet this person! 
It just dawned on me, somehow I know you are!
