What Is True Love?

But, God commended his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.
~Romans 5~

Therefore. . .

I say unto you,

Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on.

Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air:

for they sow not,
neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you,
that even Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is,
and tomorrow is cast into the oven,
shall He not much more clothe you,

O ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought,
saying, what shall we eat?
or, what shall we drink?

Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?

for your heavenly Father knoweth

that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow:

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

~Matthew 6~

But we will update soon.

The Way & The Path

Thus saith the LORD . . .

Stand ye in the ways, and see,

and ask for the old paths, where is the good way,

and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the Way . . .

Thy Word, O LORD, is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Shew me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.

I will run the way of Thy commandments,when Thou shalt enlarge my heart.
Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments;
for therein do I delight.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints. Then will I understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity;

yea, every good path.

When wisdom entereth into mine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto my soul;

Teach me Thy Way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path . . .

And the LORD said . . . I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy way.

~Psalms, Proverbs, Jeremiah, Matthew and Luke (paraphrase)~

Oh, Yo Ho . . .

Yes, we are still here.

We are very busy right now.

We will be back soon.

Till then,

Auf Wiedersehen!

The Still Small Voice . . .

Be still. . .

. . . and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth.
~Psalm 46:10~

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. He shall cover me with His feathers, and under His wings will I trust: His truth shall be my shield and buckler. A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; Because I have made the LORD, which is my Refuge, even the most High, my Habitation; He shall give His angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways.

Because you have set your love upon Me, therefore will I deliver you: I will set you on high, because you do know My Name. You shall call upon Me, and I will answer you: I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver you, and honour you. With long life will I satisfy you, and shew you My Salvation . . .

~Psalm 91~ (paraphrase)

Behold, the word of the LORD came to him [Elijah], and He said unto him,

What doest thou here, Elijah?

And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

And He said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD.

And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind:

And after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire:

And after the fire a . . .

still small voice.

And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave.

And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said . . .

What doest thou here, Elijah?

And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

And the LORD said unto him,
Go, return on thy way . . .

Yet I have left Me seven thousand in Israel,
all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal,
and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

~I Kings 19:9-18~

Here We Are. . .

The Wax Figure. . . .

Do you think Cacey needs some coffee? (she could barely keep her eyes open!)

Yo!

We are still here . . .

Our next excuse is that we have lost the camera USB cord.

And we are too busy to look for it.

But, as soon as we find it, we will update.
