Numbers In The Bible Series 45 - Laodicea, The Lukewarm Church Day 45 - Laodicea, The Lukewarm Church Sis Kate has already tackled several aspects of the seven letters to the churches in this series - I believe this study would fit there as well. It is interesting to note that there are three things Christ says about Himself in the opening part of the letter, and three things He counsels them to buy from Him through faith. The five things they were lacking in are all met by grace in salvation (grace is often pictured by the number five). Laodicea, The Lukewarm Church There is much we can glean from the seven letters to the churches in Revelation chapt…

I must confess, ashamedly, that I throw a good party. Particularly pity-parties where I am both the guest and hostess. As a smart hostess, I try to make sure that all my needs are met to have the perfect time in keeping up with the theme. As a merchandiser/sales representative for a major toy company, my territory covers a large area of the county. Today, I only needed to go to two stores to check on product levels and get a breakdown on how the sales went after the Christmas Season. I was in a sour mood, did not want to work right after the holidays.I was whining internally, feeling sorry for myself because of a tender ankle. Pretending that I still had youth on m…

The Drunkard I woke up this morning alone and cold An empty wine bottle in my hand I now hold A knot in my stomach, a pain in my head A box in the alley is my only bed A doctor last month said, 'Soon you will die Cirrhosis has claimed you, there's no need to cry' He's done all he can, but still there is hope "Lord Jesus, I need you, with this I can't cope" A drunkard's not welcome in God's home above But Jesus can cleanse you with His precious blood So if you're tired of Ol' Slewfoot and his damning wine Just do what God says in First John One Nine If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrigh…

Winds of Change
by Guest Guest- 4 replies

The girl I see Is the girl, no one wants to be. She has no curl, She does not twirl. The smile gone from her face, As she hides in her secret place. In one hand, holds a beer can, And the other, anything but a man. All at the ripe, tender age of ten. Her pleas of love are ignored, She is thrown out, once he is bored. The winds begin to change you see, For this sad story was once me. A change she is not sure she can handle. The blustery wind may darken her candle. The night is cold and dark and scary. She has no light when life gets hairy. The wind blows strong, She sees her wrong. She looks high above the sky to see A Saviour gently saying follow …

Only Jesus.

Last night, when my family and I were nearing our home when we were out walking, the chorus of this song popped into my head. I wrote it down in a word document, and added some verses. It's not very good, but here it is nonetheless: Only Jesus Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can make me whole. Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can my sin atone. (Chorus) Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can my life save. Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can my life change. Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can make me new. Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can my heart soothe. (Chorus) Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can my life save. Only Jesus, only Jesus - only He can my li…

His Blood Spoke My Name In the land of Egypt, God's children were oppressed Pharaoh's heart was hardened; so they would get no rest The blood upon the portal kept Israel safe from fright While Pharaoh's house was wailing; for death had come that night On a lonely hillside, a man from Galilee Rejected by His people, was hung upon a tree The Son of God would give His life to bear our guilt and shame It was there upon that rugged cross that His blood spoke my name. His blood spoke my name there on that rugged tree His blood spoke my name, saying, "Child, I'll set you free The Son of God would give His life to bear our guilt and shame It was there upon that …

The Church and the World walked far apart On the changing shores of time, The World was singing a giddy song, And the Church a hymn sublime.

I just finished reading Jerry's testimony, MY VICTORY OVER DEPRESSION on the Real McCoy site. I thought I might Share my testimony with all of you. I wrote in poetry form. HE BROUGHT ME UP I was in the bottom of the pit Buried beneath a load of sin and shame My life was so miserable Dark and gloomy all around I cried help ! But didn't know what to do To live or die ? It didn't matter much to me Then I met the Savior He bid me "come and dine" He gave me the "Living Water" Now He's with me all the time Now my Savior He didn't just save me He keeps me every day For I belong to Him The price He did pay So, if you're on the bottom I tell you …

Weary and torn, my body and soul. A lifetime ago, my heart spoke with zeal, But the pain and sorrow had taken its toll. Trapped in darkness because of my sin, Chained to my past, bound to my pride, I placed my hands on my head in shame, And trembled in fear as I fell down and cried. "Completely helpless, in spirit am I, Impinge on me your rod, my Lord. Thorns and thistles, they cover my heart, Sever the roots with your almighty sword." "Child, weep not, for your heart is pure, Listen! The angels in heaven rejoice. Humbled you are, strong you shall be, Tender in heart with wisdom of choice." Faded and worn my passion became,

I am not a poet, I am a studier of the old days and things. You know the Baptist name was a lot more common a hundred years ago. Back in the days an unknown person wrote this poem. It is a little short and simple, but it is from the old days. Baptist, Baptist, Baptist, Baptist till I die, I'd rather be a Baptist, and eat that Baptist pie

The Right Scars

The Right Scars By Katy-Anne Binstead The scars on my wrist Tell their story All too well. Tell their story of how I tried To cover up the pain and hurt I felt inside. I had no help, no hope, nowhere to turn. The scars remain today. Those scars did not help my misery. Those scars made my misery worse. They made the hopelessness deeper. But then I met a man. A man who

I?m getting ready to be a wife-- I guess I?m scared to death. I?ll be starting a brand new life. I keep holding my breath. Will he like the way I cook When he?s eaten it for a year? Will he like the way I look? Will he still call me ?dear?? Will he tire of my senseless talk When I?m tired and half asleep? Will he get bored with my slow walk And ahead of me leap? Will he still playfully pull my hair When it is gray and thin? Will he still think me a gem so rare Worthy as now to win? All these are in the hands of God-- No better hands I?ll find To guide us on the path we?ll trod And our hearts together to bind. On Marriage

I have found this all too true. Writing is hard work. Perhaps this should have been put under humor. You know often we have a choice of crying or laughing. I prefer laughing.

A man knocked his wife and child to the ground one night is a sheer rage. Late that night the man awoke. It was hot. Fire crackled around him. He was thristy. He could not move. All of a suddent he saw Jesus Christ and God. "Jesus Christ, God why is is so hot?" "Why am I paralyzed?" "Why Am I thirsty?" "My dear child," Jesus said flashing numerous scenes of violence the man had committed against his wife and child, "if you do not treat your wife and child better, this fire awaits you come Judgment Day. You have two choices; you can take the wide road or the narrow road. If you take the narrow road and accept me as your Personal Savior and Lord of your life, yo…

The dust of your trail is your own with it's cloying, it's coating and cling. The warmth of your smile I might share for a while But the dust of your trail is your own The song in your heart is your own with it's words, it's rhythm and rhyme When you sing to the skies I might harmonize But the song in your heart is your own The scars on your soul are your own with their blisters, their burning and blame with tears in my eyes I might sympathize But the scars on your soul are your own The life that you live is your own with its jolting, it's journey and joy As best that…

For those who don't know me, I use e-Sword for my KJV 1611 and of course my trusty KJV. So my riddles can come from either.. :mrgreen: Here's an easy one for starters.. I am beautiful, don't you see Look up, look out. All around is me Water, water, not a drop to drink Oh poor Peter, in me did he sink Look at the trees, the colors, it's fall The gardens, the people, the day shines as God doth call The creatures on the shore, those that swim and those of the air be mindful to seperate the wheat and chaff, if one doth dare so many things to see all point to it's source, which is he.

I look for my homeland: My Soverign Father's abode; Where sin shall never stand, Where peace and order holds: For I am now His adopted child: Free from the broken chains of sin! No more a slave doomed on Earth, where God shall with wrath judge. I thirst to see my homeland: My final, eternal destination; Made by pure, heavenly hands: Not of fallen Man's creation: Heavenly Jerusalem I shall wait for, Not Rome or earthly Jerusalem: My Lord is greater than all the Kings of the land. I'll endure to see my homeland: Through all grit and pain: For Christ Jesus I still stand: Though man shall whip and burn me, Have not the great saints of old, stood throug…

~*KristiAnn*~ Though she has physical problems, & though her heart be compermized. The love in her heart is endless, & remain's unsized. Though the pain & discomfort & drugs make her, sad, sleepy & tired. Her heart of Gold, & is loved & admired. God made her a special mold, She has a unique story so I'm told. The warmth she receives, Helps when the worldly ways make it cold. Although, He brings us to our knee's, Who supply's us with our daily needs? It isn't the world with whom we can depend, For that will surely be our end. Remembering then, that all good things come from above. God send's us his love, through his…

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, & strength as they learn submission to Your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with …
