I had heard a family member, maybe my Mom, mention this a time or two but had forgotten it. I was at my sister's house today and she was showing me my Grandpa Webb's old wallet. In the wallet, along with his driver's license and such, is a small piece of paper with Ezekiel 16:6 written in pencil.. My Grandpa believed that, by reading this verse, he could stop a person from bleeding. I know the verse has nothing to do with that but, I just thought it was interesting. But I'm thinking "Pa, if it had that much "mojo" why didn't you at least memorize it?" And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I saidunto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Liv…

Dropped by a convenience store today. On my way into the store, there was a Jeep parked right outside of the door to the store...crammed full of what we call "good ol' boys" here in the South. On my way out, I turned to go to my car (the Jeep was now behind me) and heard a woman say... Woman: We...are...trying to save the planet. Good ol' boys: Huh? Curiosity got the best of me, so I turned around to see what was happening... Woman: WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANET, AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITH YOU LITTERING! Then, she leaned over and picked something up (from the pavement) right next to the Jeep. Now, I don't know for sure who has the most f…

Man Cave 1 2

For awhile now, my wife and daughter haven't been wild about my doing stuff like bringing drill batteries into the house and charging them on the fireplace mantle, or hanging a ballcap or my solar-powered auto-dark welding helmet on the fire poker rack. Then there's the mount of the 8-point buck staring down at them with cold-dead eyes from above the fireplace mantle. They would also prefer that my banjo, mandolin, guitars and (sometimes) guns didn't junk up the living room either.. So, my Wife has come up with a brilliant solution: she said I need to build myself a man cave. It only took about 3 seconds for me to get over being dejected about being practically banis…

This map shows that in the history of the Earth there was the cubic dilatation, and "the dry land " (Gen. 1:10) which was called "Earth" was broken on parts. When did it happen?

In the Book of Revelation, in the fifth chapter, the whole Church of God is represented to us in its entirety. Jesus Christ said: ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up’ (John. 2:19). He ‘spake of the temple of his body’ (John.2:21). This Temple will be rebuilt during three thousand years, because ‘one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day’ (2Pet.3:8) So, ‘the four beasts’ (Rev.5:6) are ‘faithful’ (Rev. 17:14), or ‘church of the firstborn’ (Heb.12:23), or ‘a sheaf of the firstfruits’ (Lev.23:10) of the harvest..., Twenty-four elders are ‘called, & chosen’ (Revelation 17:14), or ‘barley harvest and of wh…

I ahve never been very good at touch typing - I normally look at the keys while I type and it ends up that I amke plenty of spelling maistakes that I only notice when I look up at the screen, and I then ahve to go back and fix them - so my speed is not great. When [people aks how fast I type I normally say "That depends - so you want it right or do you want it fast?" (That should have been "do you want it right"). The really funny thing is, when I touch type properly, I rarely make mistakes, and when I do, I notice them immediately and correct them without looking down. So, why don't I simply trust myself, instead of looking down at my keyboard? I don'…

Our sign shop's sales, this year, have skyrocketed. Last month we had almost as much in accounts receivable as we did sales for each of the last 8 YEARS........... And people are calling and ordering daily. Is that a coincidence? But lamb sales seem to be in a slump, We have sold only 41 of the 142 we produced this spring. Maybe the lamb eaters are fasting?

The end of the Fossil Fuel era is upon us so what are we going to do next-? Energy information Administration Official Energy Statistics from the US government The above report indicates that the US will be using primarily oil as our main energy source through 2030. The world's total declared reserves are 1,317,400,000,000 barrels (January 2007). World oil consumption 2005 is 80,290,000 barrels per day or 29,305,850,000 per year Dividing annual consumption into total reserves gives us 44.9 years of oil supply at the current consumption rate. That was eleven (11) years ago, we are not changing your habits and this spells doom for us all. …

Doctrines...not another doctrines book! Yes, but if you've read Tozer before then you know you'll come away scathed, to one degree or another. The Knowledge Of The Holy, as the title might suggest, centers on the doctrines of God. However, I've read and studied doctrines in a classroom environment and this is no ordinary doctrines book. From the outset the reader is challenged to prepare for a different slant. You are not allowed to close your Bible and think that God's word has been neatly tucked away until the next time of devotion. God's word is alive and in the pages of Tozer's book the reader is made aware to know God we must be living the living word.

* IDK the categories very well yet so I hope this is the right place to post this * Does Israel debunk Calvinism? I believe so. I would appreciate your thoughts on this to "fine tune" it. And I never heard Calvinism debunked like this. I give credit to the Lord for showing me this... I'm referring to the "U" in TULIP - "Unconditional Election", where a short summary would be that "God has elected, based solely upon the counsel of his own will, some for glory and others for damnation." - In plain speech, no free will, when someone hears the gospel, if they are "non-elect" they can't make the choice to be saved. What about the nation of Israel? Jesus is the J…

For all of us nerdy book lovers, what are you currently reading? I'm reading "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas" by James Patterson. It's little umm... not Christian. Either my grandma or my aunt gave it to me (neither is a Christian) and I had no idea what it was about until I got so far into it. :ooops

The Flying Tigers, by John Toland, Landmark Books 1963. "The World War II exploits of America's heroic fighter pilots in China. What an excellent book to re-read after nearly 50 years. I recommend you read it during the Memorial Day weekend, a short read of only 158 pages.

Paradise is novel of 220 pages, by Mark Cahill from 2013. It is his 1st novel, although he has written 3 "non-fiction" books on soul-winning. Paradise is his first of 3 novels. (Paradise, Reunion, and The Last Ride - which partly carry into one another but each could be considered stand alone novels and need not be read in order). Some may rightly think, oh no not another "Christian novel". But all scriptures are taken from the King James Bible (in all his books). I myself am not a fan of novels so much, but Cahill has an interesting writing take in his novel and is useful for both Christians and unbelievers, as it would make a good gift for a lost friend or family m…

I went to a funeral of a man I've known since the 2nd grade. Before killing himself he too had health problems very similar to mine. I've seen him at the doctor's office from time to time. I have joint problems and arthritis, he did too but his was from toxic chemical exposure. I was told at the funeral the doctor told him it was going to get worse and worse. About 2 months ago I talked very seriously with him about going to church. He admitted to me he needed to clean himself up a bit, he was living with a woman and looked like he was in the Taliban. I have no idea how long it had been since his hair and beard has been trimmed. I agreed with him. He was a member of …

Customer calls awhile ago and wants me to send him his logo design as a "pdf" so he can get it put on Facebook. I questioned him "pdf?.......are you sure you don't want a jpeg?" "No, he says, it needs to be pdf cuz a jpeg won't work", I then tried to explain that I put them on Facebook all the time but I was just interrupted. So, instead of arguing, I dutifully retrieved the file from one CAD program, imported it into CorelDraw, converted it to pdf and emailed it to him. He calls back about a half hour later complaining that all I had ever sent him of the design were pdf's and what he needed was a jpeg. I said, "I've already sent you jpegs before and have NEVER sent you a…

The new style gas cans are touted to be better for the environment. You know...less chance for spillage and so forth... Well...let me vent here. Oh wait...there are no vents on the cans. Less chance of spillage? I spilled more gas in two weeks with the new style can than I did in 40 years with the old sane style. It takes twisting and pushing the spout, standing on one foot and using your other foot to counter the inertia built up from the force needed to twist and push the spout, closing one eye while holding your breath for 20 seconds, reciting paragraph 89 of Subsection 101.e3b of Section 673.89 under Heading 809b of the EPA's General Rules and…

A new law has been passed here in California that prohibits grocery stores from providing customers with the traditional plastic bags. Now if you want to be able to carry your groceries you have to buy a bag. Two different kinds of bags are offered for sale at the check stand, one is a heavier plastic and the other is a cloth bag. I do understand that in many places discarded plastic bags are a problem. But to force everyone to pay for the abuse of a few is just not right. For the most part the grocery store traditional bag is extremely recyclable. You carry the groceries to your house with it, then store the bag for reuse in many different ways. I use them for…

And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.- I Kings 20:42 You see here that God promises the king of Israel that since he didn't kill the king of Syria as commanded that God would punish him and the children of Israel because of it. This makes me wonder that if the death penalty isn't carried out when a man is murdered (Genesis 9:5,6) that someone else will pay for the crime or is it that if murderers are continued to be let off the hook that they will murder again, that a culture of murder will develop th…

The Bible being the problem, Did I say? I don't understand your translation, I am sorry. -
By Pastor Matt · Posted
Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I’m a very busy person helping my wife around the house, I cook sometimes, I clean the dishes plus put them away. I help with the laundry, and dry plus fold the clothes. I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." -
