Being God-Fearing

2007-04-23T03:24:00.001-07:00

We are to fear God. Inasmuch as we rightly fear him we shan't have to be afraid of him in the sense of undifferentiated terror. Inasmuch as we fear him we shan't have to fear anything else or anyone else.
In the time that remains this morning we should like look at several instances in scripture where God's people did indeed fear him, and therefore could hear and obey his command, "Fear not!", in the midst of life's turbulence and trial.
I: -- The first is from the story of Elijah, Israel's greatest prophet. A drought has dried up the land. People are starving. Elijah asks a widow to make him the smallest piece of baked bread, a bun. She tells him she has only a small jar of cornmeal and a cruse (a small flask) of oil. With the cornmeal and the oil she's going to prepare a smidgen of food for herself and her son (their last meal), and then mother and son will die together. "Include me in your meal," says Elijah; "you will have enough. Fear not! The cornmeal and the oil won't run out until it rains and the drought ends." Not run out? The resources they need will be supplied?

~JUSTICE ~

That Justice is a blind goddess

Is a thing to which we black are wise:

Her bandage hides two festering sores

That once perhaps were eyes . . . .

What is freedom? Nobody knows. What do I think freedom is?

Freedom is, when you can do what you like Without ever hurting somebody

Freedom is, when you are healthy, Not trammelled in your bed

Freedom is, when you are in free charge of your time And not dominated by a watch

Freedom is, when you can say what you think As long as it doesn’t hurt somebody else

Freedom is, when you can make a mistake Without getting immediately punished for it

Freedom is, when you can go and get milk Whenever you want some

Freedom is, The one thing we all want to have, The one thing that none of us really has, The one thing each of us defines different, The one thing we will never have………

Freedom is…………a dream```

Truth .

2007-03-31T00:21:00.000-07:00

*** What is Truth ??

. Always sae the truth even though you know it hurts ,
you will feel good .

. Saying the truth makes people have more trust in you .

. Without Truth , it is impossible to observe any principles or rules in life .

. There should be truth in thought, truth in speech, and truth in action .

. What may appear as Truth to one person will often appear as untruth to another
person .

JUST SAY THE TRUTH !! :D

Love .. .

2007-03-31T00:04:00.000-07:00

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger

An endless aching need

I say love, it is a flower

And you its only seed

It's the soul afraid of dreaming,

That never learns to dance

And the soul afraid of waking,

That never takes the chance

It's the one, who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying,

That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

When you feel that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the roseI've searched around the world

From north to south, and east to west

Day and night, in search of a friend

Because I only wanted the best.

This friend must be kind and sincere,

Happy and full of cheer.

Someone who knows how to have lots of fun

And when times get rough, won't run .. .. .
