An image a week 6…

Hillllll....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sofia Faith decided she wanted to run down the hill at the apple orchard.  The scene reminded me of Laura Ingles, at the beginning of Little House on the Prairie. Although, Sofia Faith was a tad bit out of control in her trek down the hill.  She was just throwing her legs under her, hoping to stay up.  It was fun for her, she had a smile on her face the whole time.  Her favorite thing to say for days after this was “Hiiillllll”.  I have done a look for this image that some people now days like.  It has an “Indie” look to it.  I don’t care for this rendition, but some have told me they like it.  What kind of image styles do you like?

Run, Run For Your Life!

I found this to be somewhat inspiring for the Church.  By “Church”, I mean the group of believers that are Brothers in Christ, worshiping Him through song and study.  This has been a topic near to my heart.  I believe I am growing up in an age of “watered down”, “new age” religious Churches.  Anyone, or any Church for that matter, that doesn’t preach the whole Bible, and the words of the apostles, are heretic in my eyes.  This is called blasphemy.  God does not say to teach half of the Truth, some of the Truth, or the Truth we think the people of our congregations want to here.  No, He says to spread the Word of God.  The word of God is the whole Truth, the Bible in its entirety, and nothing less.  Listen to this sermon, I believe Mr. Conlon is a Pentecostal.  I do believe that we can unite across denominations on a lot of issues, one being this one.  I am including a link to the full version of this Sunday sermon by Carter Conlon.

I would love to hear your thought on this sermon as well, not just the video clip.  If you do have thoughts, I am interested to see your reactions, Biblical or not.  Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.

Proverbs 28:2

2 When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.
But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.

Micah 2:11

8 Yet to this very hour
my people rise against me like an enemy!
You steal the shirts right off the backs
of those who trusted you,
making them as ragged as men
returning from battle.
9 You have evicted women from their pleasant homes
and forever stripped their children of all that God would give them.
10 Up! Begone!
This is no longer your land and home,
for you have filled it with sin
and ruined it completely.

11 Suppose a prophet full of lies would say to you,
“I’ll preach to you the joys of wine and alcohol!”
That’s just the kind of prophet you would like!

Matthew 7:15-20

15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.

II Timothy 3:13-17

13 But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
14 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.15 You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

II Peter 1:19-21

19 Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines* in your hearts.20 Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding,*21 or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.

Galatians 6:7-10

7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Mark 16:14-19

14 Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.*
15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.*18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”
19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.20 And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.
