Through God's Grace Blameless

2 Peter 3:10 �But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 �¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 �Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2 Peter 3:13 �Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 �Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 �And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

The Lord's Protection

I praise Him for His protection and love!

Thank you Lord!

Happy Christians

At SmartChristian blog they ask if happiness should be a life value for Christians..see link

SmartChristian Link

I would say that yes happiness is a value and not selfish at all. The Lord died for us to have an abundant life and happiness is a part of that. Sure we have problems and suffer at times, but I would never consider happiness as selfish.

I wonder why some would?

Confess and Forsake

Proverbs 28:13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Kept from Temptation.

There is one church kept from the hour of temptation.

Revelation 3:10 �Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

WV State Fair

Headed to the West Virginia State fair this evening. Keith Urban will be in concert.

While KU is secular, his music does seem to have a committed air to it, which I enjoy.

I hate some of those loving and leaving type songs.

Restrictions, Restrictions

Isn't it odd how some persons love placing restrictions in others lives?

I truly feel if the restrictions we think have to be in place should be something we only go about placing in our own life then maybe we wouldn't be so inclined to try and force them on others...

sure we need laws..but I'm talking little things like..
Don't place pink flamingos in your yard and only do laundry on Monday..

Home Fellowship

Also have gotten into a home fellowship which I love. It isn't so much like the business structures of commercial, expanding churches and they even wish to stay small and family structured.

Sort of like the start up churches in Acts where they met in personal places. Nice.

Long Time Gone

I have not been blogging as gardens and canning and boating have taken my days hostage...lol.

Actually I love gardens and canning and boating so it isn't like I'm prisoner or anything...just busy.
