I usually spend time in the chapters the service & Sunday School discussed. Growing up the church we went to would only read a couple verses at a time, & tended to recycle the same verses. My curious self wondered what they were leaving out, so I learned to read the full chapter. What aren’t...

Am 4/7/24 on 2 Chron 16 Views of success: wealth, what you build, family, how busy you are, power, places you’ve been. God measures value of life different: if you invested in him. You waste your life chasing idols or invest it in pursuing the Lord Idols haven’t gone away. Some like alcoholoism...

Everything decays. Everything gets worse over time, not better, b/c of sin

It is harder than being single tho, isn't it?

The Lord’s eyes scan the whole world to find those whose hearts are committed to him 2 Chronicles 16 God's Word translation

i've been looking for this song!

I can't see myself being married. Too overwhelming for me.

You will never be successful. There's always someone better. You'll be forgotten immidiately. You are but a whisper to the people of this world. But the Lord's truths & his promises for you stand eternal.

The Lord is not slow........He is patient..........because he does not want anyone to be destroyed..........But the Day of the Lord will come 2 Peter 3 Good News Translation

This was one of the 1st contemporary songs I heard after hearing mostly hymns. I don’t think it’s really ‘contemporary’ anymore, I haven’t heard it in a long time. Music changes but our Lord stands eternal.

Let not the strong man glory in his strength…….. Let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me Jeremiah 9 douay-rheims 1899

I get it's good, & created by God to show his power & order, but I can't help but being reminded of pagan sun worship seeing everyone so fascinated by the eclipse. Or astrologers more interested in the creation then the Creator. I'm such a party-pooper I know. But it WAS pretty cool I happened...

I don’t really care for it. But I was reading eclipses are designed by God to show even the sun’s light can’t be relied on. There’s a verse in Proverbs or Psalms that talks about that.

Been listening to secular music. It seems so empty once you start listening to Christian music.

It’s so strange b/c the desire for marriage seems so worldly & empty, but it’s obvious it’s designed by God for good. Even part of the original design before the Fall.

My goodness! I really like kids singings this song! Ahh, you get this stuck in your head!

If you are looking for me, let the others go. John 18 Expanded Bible

3/31/24 on Matthew 29 800 eyewitnesses Christ rose. Not myth, so implications for today: Death & sin not part of God’s original design. Jesus’s resurrection: rescue & victory complete. All sins, past, present, & future forgiven. You’re gonna make promises to him you won’t sin but you will, still...

Those w/ higher views of Mary teach she's telling him to provide. I don't see that. I see her grumbling they have no wine. She does tell the servants to listen to Jesus after he tells her that's not really what he's here for, but she's surrendering to his authority -> she's not getting him to do...

Interesting thing about that map is each of the 12 were scattered to 12 corners. No 2 ended in the same place at the same time. Some would say it's too clean. But you don't see India & Spain both arguing Thomas went there, for example. It's one of those things where if it's too clean, they don't...
