So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:31
**
It is possible. It is a matter of perspective and motivation. What is more basic than eating and drinking? The most fundamental activity can be for God's glory, if you recognize it as such, as can any service you perform, even delivering the drink for someone else (Matthew 10:42).

Some time ago, a few ladies met in a certain city to
read the scriptures and make them the subject of
conversation. While reading the third chapter of
Malachi they came upon a remarkable expression
in the third verse.
"And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."
One lady's opinion was that it was intended to
convey the view of the sanctifying influence of the
grace of Christ. Then she proposed to visit a
silversmith and report to them what he said
on the subject. She went acc… Continue

HELL
*The English word hell is defined in our dictionaries as: the abode of evil spirits: infernal regions; place of eternal punishment or extreme torment; in ancient times, the place of departed spirits. “The word infernal means “ belonging to hell.” The word inferno is another word for the infernal regions; hell.” Gehenna is defined as “the place of future torment; hell; hell-fire.” Tarsus is defined as “the place of punishment in the lower world.”
Note: this is the definition I keep *… Continue

The Rapture- The Catching Up
1 Th 4:16-17 (NKJV)
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from… Continue

From My Perspective - - -
Stimulus #1: $787 Billion. Needed – Stimulus #2 (the President hasn’t said how much it should be – just that we need more spending)! Problem – Senator Harry Reed stated we have yet to spend almost 90% of Stimulus #1. Stimulus #1 was supposed to fund “shovel-ready” infra-structure projects. This sounded logical and workable – but – it really hasn’t happened. Texas congressman Louis Gohmert (R 1st Dist.) offered a novel approach last year. He floated an idea of allowi… Continue

Lord Bless,

Subject: Two Traveling Angels
Keep reading to the bottom of the page -- don't
stop at the feet (You'll see).
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night
in the home of a wealthy family.
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.
Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in… Continue

Are there any living today? Has any human being ever seen a live dinosaur?
Children and adults alike are absolutely fascinated by these mysterious monsters. Numerous books and movies have been produced to satisfy a seemingly insatiable hunger for information on these puzzling creatures. The truth of the matter, however, is that there are no real mysteries at all, once you have key information that is not generally known and is withheld from the public.
Come with me as we take a walk through hi… Continue
Does the Bible teach that the Church will be supernaturally removed (rapture)? Will the Church escape the tribulation? Is the rapture pretribulation pre-wrath, or post tribulation?
The best way to find out the truth is to correctly interpret God's word. In some cases this is easier said than done. Finding and correlating deep truths in some scriptures can be like mining for gold. It is hard work but it sure is worthwhile when you sift out a few nuggets. I expect God wanted it that way so that s… Continue
Did God Create the Universe in 7 days? The Bible is adament about the creation, and How it came to be. I for one can't find any other Book to disclaime it. And who would want to. The Bible is the Word of God, and no one can make me change my beliefs on the Bible. Now if you can show me chapter and verse, of that the earth came in 3 stages? I might reconsider, and then again It will have to be God himself to show where he had three stages. So here are my thoughts on this. I hope it will be helpfu… Continue
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:12
**
If we are not careful, we can motor through this verse, with a "yes, that's pretty," like driving through a quaint, pleasant village. However, let's pull over and visit for a short while.
Look at hope: she energizes Paul and his associates ("we"). Paul knows the God of hope Who overflows his life, filling him with all internal goodness and overflowing into action (Romans 15:13). Hope is greatest motivator; she is… Continue

In this blog we will cover things revealed to few that helps so much more make sense.
Outline:
We were all in spiritual bodies in the first age(Breath of life). There was a rebelion lead by Lucifer. One third of all angels embraced him as equal to God. A small few were steadfast in their embrace of God and the rest where luke warm.
God ended that age with a flood. This destruction is called the Katabole in original manuscripts!
Thus began the present age! God said let us crea… Continue

Thank you, God for the little things
that often come our way -
The things we take for granted
but don't mention when we pray -
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly deed -
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need -
Oh make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with "sweet suprise"
from never-dreamed-of places.

There is a saying about violent alcoholics. "One drink is too much and 6 are never enough".
We know that God can heal us of anything if we love and worship Him and know His will for us.
