Awesome....even brooding a little, but a light at the end!

Very peaceful...relaxing.

Snow in summer in Oz. A Weeping Lilly Pilly endowed in white blooms, overlooking a shed in my back yard. It looks more spectacular in reality. The sound of the bees at work is overwhelming, but awesome.

I won't be engaging with you any further.

Just putting an 'alternative look' out there for you. I can't see Jesus being interested in any discussion involving denominational and non-denominational liturgy. Just my 2cs worth.

Exactly... The apostles emphases were that we always need to consider the affect of our actions on those around us, being sensitive to whether we may embarrass, shame, cause envy, or otherwise drive someone further into a habitual sin. This will include what we wear, eat, and drink. If we don't...

I agree SL. I have no problem with people being rich, but as Paul said in so many words, don't put your wealth on show, and share it out to those whose need is genuine, and who are worthy of help.

Yep...Back to the future, I say. And it's not just our resources we should be sharing amongst the church (and others in need), it's our time and faculties too. Thanks for raising the thread LM, it's good to be reminded of what we ought be doing. Shalom

Brrrrrr..... Could do with a bit of that down here this weekend tho. 37c (circa 99f) and not even into summer. But does drop back down to a respectable 29c (84f) by midweek. Great photo.

What distresses me about this, is that the inequalities can happen within church groups. That to me is very sad, and quite probably an indictment to the oversight of that group (assuming there is an oversight), that they need to lift their game. It irked me that some of the larger churches I...

Walking the pathway alongside the Bay a couple of days ago, this scene seemed relevant.... laid back. Soooo much stress in the world...not out on the Bay though. :yum:

SL, fasting and prayer are sometimes needed. I'm not trying to put you down, but your rationale to many of us is incomprehensible. I won't say any more with you on the topic, as I would merely be repeating previous posts. Shalom.

Well that's a silly saying. God gave Moses the law, Moses didn't fabricate it from his own understanding. Jesus was speaking/teaching to the Jews who were under the jurisdiction of the old covernant and laws, and said that He hasn't come to do away with the law that Moses was given, but to...

DEUTERONOMY 24:1-4 1 When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness (???) in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2 And when she is...

Yep, that's right, sorry for the aussieism. Yes, springtime and getting closer to summer when we start whining every day about how hot it is. The place has a peaceful character to it, but I much prefer the forests and the bay or ocean.
