A college degree is a wonderful vehicle with which to begin your journey for success in life.

The bible is the steering wheel.

For some I suppose it is the steering wheel yes.

 

[FredVB]

Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

The Creator of all cares for his creatures, with love and and compassion that isn't limited.

 

[MWood]

Resolve to be tinder with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and wrong. Sometime in your life, you will have been all of these.

"An ineffably holy God, who has the utmost abhorrence of sin, was never invented by any of Adam's descendents." ~A. W. Pink

 

[brinny]

“He foresaw my every fall, my every sin, my every backsliding; yet, nevertheless, fixed His heart upon me.” ~A.W. Pink

(Reminds me of God, declaring that David was the "apple of his eye" and "a man after his own heart"....even as David sinned abominably....yet, there it was, evidence of David's heart for God, for what David did, after sinning, was that he "repented". And THAT is why God described David as He did.)

That gives us all hope, doesn't it?

“Thousands acknowledge they are sinners, who have never mourned over the fact.” ~A.W. Pink

“Our Lord has many weak children in His family, many dull pupils in His school, many raw soldiers in His army, many lame sheep in His flock. Yet He bears with them all, and casts none away.” ~A.W.Pink

Precious.

(this is an entire Bible study. It reminds me that none of us are perfect, and that God in His wisdom has prompted us to uplift, uphold, be the lifters of each others heads, and to pray for one another. He teaches us the first and foremost "ministry" we are "wed" to is to minister to each other, starting with our own families.)

STATISTICS

Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.

Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.

Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians.

Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation.

Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals. So above all else avoid hospitals.

BUT

You will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in Church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders.
Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given time is at Church!
And...Bible study is safe too! The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.

So...attend Church and study your Bible.

Interesting AW PINK quote! People still read his 'Studies in the Scriptures'.

 

[MWood]

The best thing about the future is, that it comes one day at a time.

A life of purpose is the purpose of life.

Joy is the secret of a Christian.
