Just A Normal Day

My beautiful wife reads from an old Hymnal from the 1800’s for us every morning. After she has finished, I begin to write these letters to you, then, after they are completed, I read for a few minutes usually from one of my books, or in the Psalms. A good portion of my day is spent working on the Borrowed Truths videos, interspersed with reading from another of my books, along with coming back down these stairs to write again later in the day. During supper we discuss portions of another of my books that I have highlighted certain portions of, and then after supper, once again my lovely wife reads from a devotional for us. Then I again work on the next video for a while and fall asleep many nights reading my Bible on the coach or the chair. During the day, whenever possible, I speak to those

Jealousy

“I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.” (Romans 11:11) Noah pleaded with those in his day for one hundred and twenty years that those in his time would heed the truth revealed to him by the Almighty. But I can recall very few if any places in the Scriptures where the children of Israel sent missionaries out into the known world in an attempt to reach them for the glory of God. In fact, even the Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples not to go to the Gentiles. If one came to them in the Old Testament times, they were welcomed, with extreme limitations, Rahab and Ruth are good examples of this. But it makes me wonder, which was the overriding factor, that they did not want to

The Soil You Know

As they sat around the prison yard, enjoying for the short moments of the day when they were allowed to bask in the sunshine and breathe the fresh air, instead of the stagnant air of the confines of their cells, the man convicted of rape said to one of the others there. “Well, at least I’m not the one here who killed a man for sleeping with his wife.” And the serial killer, the one who had taken the lives of many, whose cell was on death row, who called upon the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of his soul, who had repented in great and many tears, who knew what the grace of God is, said… Tell me, friends of mine, my brothers and sisters in Christ who know His grace, who have the assurance of salvation, who lived good lives, agreeable lives in accordance to the world,

Plan, Pray, Prepare

Plan, prepare, pray. Does that sound like the correct order to you? I think this might be more appropriate. Plan, pray, prepare. I would say to those who believe prayer should come first, then planning would be completely unnecessary, just prepare to do as you are led to do. But I would suggest if that were so then there would be little need of faith, you would be as one who sits and waits for orders, and then simply follows them, expecting a definitive end. “And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.” (Luke 17:19) When we begin to formulate plans within our mind on ways to glorify the Lord, that is the initial step of faith, if we know it to be a verifiable truth as towards the will of His Word for those that serve Him, though the plans as they
