The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. <---> Proverbs 15:24

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. <---> Luke 18:16

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? <---> Matthew 6:26

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. <---> Psalms 135:7

The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. <---> Proverbs 22:13

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. <---> Ecclesiastes 11:3

The problem with the above is that a difference is implied where there is essentially none. What keeps us heading towards hell is being unrepentant sinners. And what keeps us unrepentant is our unbelief. So those who truly repent are the true believers, and those who don't are the unbelievers...

The idea that the primary difference between the saved and the unsaved is that the saved are 'sorry' for their continual sinning is rather lame - where is the power to deliver in such a belief ? Not that I have experienced a perfect walk with God to this point - but to accept sin as...

And who is in the position to definitively declare who has fulfilled the above stipulation ? Which still leaves us with the distinct possibility of thinking we have "fully trusted" when in deed we have only 'partially trusted'. His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and...

Yeah, and Yeshua said - Ye shall know them by their fruit...not by their 'gifts'. So if someone claims to be full of God's Spirit because they speak in a 'strange sounding tongue', but they also exhibit carnality, worldliness, unChristlike characteristics in their day to day life - we are wise...

Unfairness exists in the unideal. Whenever there is a separation between The Perfect and those who are somewhat disconnected from Him - unideal / unfair stuff happens. The consolation is - That God is a God of compensation. And He will graciously and gloriously give comfort and consolation...

(According to Strong's and The KJV) 'Fat' is found in approxiametely 105 places in The Old Testament. And not once in The New. Suggesting - let go of the old and embrace the new - For with maturity comes moderation - via the letting go of obsessions. When I was a child, I spake as a child...

God has both conditional and unconditional love for people. His unconditional love is open ended benevolence (good will) towards all - in a general context. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. <---> Luke 2:14 For God so loved the world, that he gave his...

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. <---> Philippians 2:3 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: <---> 1 Peter 2:15 See that none render evil...

Scriptures that help you follow the Lord Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. <---> Isaiah 26:3 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected...
