      Please don't miss that the qualification for the promise of verse 17b, noted in verses 17a and 18, are about the parent not your child or granchildren. As Jesus promises you in John 10:22-30 at http://diigo.com/0jv8q, He'll never let you or your kids go! So, trust him! Claim His promises! And relax while you continue to pray for your kids and their proginy ...whether born yet or not.

"Jesus' Coming Was Prophesied For Over 1,000 Years" - Bible Gateway - 0 views

  •  
    "Jesus' Coming Was Prophesied For Over 1,000 Years" In Psalm 53, among many other passages in the Old Covenant (the Jewish part of the Christian Bible), Yeshua (Jesus) is clearly prophesied as the Jews' long-awaited Messiah. This prophesy was about 1,000 years before His coming as "God the Son". This Scripture was written down by the Jewish King, David, about 1,00 B.C.. For those with a general knowledge of Jesus' life and death by crucifixion, the prophesy is clear for anyone "with eyes to see and ears to hear", as Jesus was fond of saying as recorded in the New Covenant, which He made with His Followers. both Jews and Gentiles (all non-Jews, including Muslims). Other prophesies even pre-date this one in age. GaryFPatton (gfp '42™ 2012-09-12)

Psalm 23 KJV - The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. - Bible Gateway - 0 views

  • Psalm 23
  • I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever
  •  
    The King James translation of the Christian Bible was the one my Mom used most of her life. This passage was read at her funeral by my Friend, Adele van Caulart. It was one of Ina Donelda Patton's favoutites. My Mom also was called Donnie by my Dad and members of our extended family, as she had been as a child by her 8 siblings. Mom's Friends and catering business colleagues usually called her Donna.

What is libertarian free will? - 1 views

  • The Bible emphatically affirms human responsibility for sin and God's justice, but it also clearly rejects libertarian free will. Scripture clearly affirms that 1) God is sovereign over all affairs, including the affairs of man; and 2) man is responsible for his rebellion against a holy God. The fact that we cannot completely harmonize these two biblical truths should not cause us to reject either one.
  • Prior to the fall, man could be said to have had a "free" will in that he was free to obey God or disobey God. After the fall, man's will was corrupted by sin to the point where he fully lost the ability to willingly obey God. This doesn't mean that man can't outwardly obey God. Rather, man cannot perform any spiritual good that is acceptable to God or has any salvific merit. The Bible describes man's will as "dead in transgressions and sins" (Ephesians 2:1) or as "slaves to sin" (Romans 6:17).

      This is why without God, humankind is in big trouble!
  • When God ordains all things that come to pass (Psalm 33:11; Ephesians 1:11), He not only ordains the ends, but the means as well. God ordains that certain things will happen and He also ordains how they will happen. Human choices are one of the means by which God accomplishes His will. For proof of this point, look no further than the exodus. God tells Moses that He will harden Pharaoh's heart so that God's glory in the deliverance of Israel would be manifest through him (Exodus 4:21). However, as the narrative continues, we see that Pharaoh hardens his own heart (Exodus 8:15). God's will and man's will converge.

      Because God is sovereign, He gets His way ...regardless of our so-called free will.

  • “I am (F)the way, and (G)the truth, and (H)the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
  • You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?”
  • If anyone loves Me, he will (D)keep My word; and (E)My Father will love him, and We (F)will come to him and make Our abode with him.
  • But the (I)Helper, the Holy Spirit, (J)whom the Father will send in My name, (K)He will teach you all things, and (L)bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
  • Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. (N)Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

    These passages from John 14 were shared by my Friend, Bruce Malcolm, at the Funeral service for my Mom, Ina Donelda Patton (aka Donnie (family) & Donna (friends). These passages confirm the eternal promise of Jesus to His Followers, of which my Mom was one, that they will spend eternity with Him in His mansions in heaven. Each human is a "spiritual being in a temporary earth suit". And, therefore, we each will live forever. The only question is where we will spend the non-earthly part of our eternity ...in what Jesus called "heaven" or "hell". The answer to that question depends solely on whether one chooses to believe that Jesus was "a liar", "a lunatic" or "Lord" of us all and "God Incarnate", His eternal "Son" who choose to die on a cross to pay the full penalty for our sin nature & sins which our "good works" cannot pay for. In addition to the above passages, another Friend, Adele Van Caulart, read Psalm 23 ...another source of great assurance of God's love and His peace for my Mom and me. gfp (2012-04-04)

A testimony To CHUCK COLSON : Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog - 0 views

  • ‘Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. I will shake all the nations…. I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.

  • I believe the Iran threat to U.S. and Israeli national security will be one of the top issues facing the U.S. in 2012 and beyond, and I have to be honest that I remain deeply concerned by the support Ron Paul is getting in Iowa — and elsewhere in the country — given Paul’s policy of appeasement and weakness towards Iran.

    On the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, Joel Rosenberg, a Messianic Jewish author delivered this talk, "A Wakeup Call" to a simulcast conference called "The Gathering Storm".It bears reading.

Jesus Asserts His Deity & His Followers' Assurance of Eternal Relationship with God Thr... - 0 views

  • John 10:22-30
    • Gary Patton
       
      In John 10:22-30, Jesus states clearly that He IS "God Incarnate" (the man-God in human skin & bones). This Scripture also makes clear that anyone who believe in the reality of Jesus' death on the cross for them gets an incredible Gift. That gift is eternal life in and with God from the moment they choose to follow Jesus. This is because God accepts Jesus' death on our behalf as full payment of the penalty we, not Jesus, deserve for everything we have done contrary to God's will. Through our faith in Jesus' death on our behalf God grants us, by grace, complete and eternal forgiveness for every sin we have committed in the past, commit today or will commit in the future. These verses confirm, finally, that Jesus' glorious payment, as a righteous person without sin and undeserving of death unlike us, guarantees that no one or nothing can take our eternal life from us ...including we ourselves through our own disobedience. You heavenly Father further promises you the same gift for your children and granchildren in Psalm 103:17 at http://diigo.com/0mc2f. So, trust him! Claim His promises! And relax while you continue to pray for your kids.
