Jecharon said, "It does mean that the creatures that are such as the Big Hairy one are smart enough to interact with others of there kind and cooperate for working as big groups. They do not do so here, but it seems they would do so for having many structures for their dwellings together beyond...
“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that...
“For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident...

Although we at some point come to understand the wisdom of God is greater than our own and we align ourselves with Him, being half tamed/half feral, we still seek our own wisdom at times. It is human nature and our life is a struggle to overcome the self serving instincts of our bodily vehicle...
I am reading in John 9:1-41 about the man who was blind from birth whom Jesus healed. But I am only going to quote portions of this here, due to the length of it, so please take the time to read the whole chapter in context on the internet, or in your Bibles, for I will be summarizing much of...
Matthew 20:30-31,34^ 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” 31 Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us...
“We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 John 4:19-21...
“And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.” (2 Corinthians 5:15 ESV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who...
“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: ‘The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!’ I shall not die, but I shall...
“What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask...

Hillariah and Jecharon soon told the others in the small settlement they had started about this vision. Alverten said, "One of us might meet that giant percher bird, which spoke first here, and we could ask about the community the Big Hairy one has. Was it not mentioned before?" Hillariah said...
“They are not walking by faith”. The phrase, lately a common catch-all to describe non-conformity to certain teachings about “prosperity”, the exercise of specific spiritual gifts, “divine health”—even political activism of a given slant, is cast about with staggering ease. The mindset has...
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” (Matthew 6:22-23 ESV) If we look up the word “eye” in a...

The Invisible Woman Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets...

First, i apologize for not quoting scripture on this one right now as it contains quite a bit in regards to our journeys, and i took it from a very recent post on morality, but you can find a good deal of this in the book of Romans, Galatians, and Genesis. In some ways it may be better to just...
