Gerry you have a tremendous gift with words. You always seem to word things perfect; things always come out so enlightened when you speek. Someday I will hopefully have close to the same wisdom with words that you do.

Thanks again Aaron. But my friend I must tell you that any wisdom perceived in me is actually Jesus working through me. All credit is always His and what an awesome priviledge and blessing it is to serve Him. I long for the day when I can sit at His feet on that grassy bank beside the still waters and learn great mysteries!

But be sure that He is working through you in a very big way. I see the 15 under your name, but I wonder what does it mean. If 15 is your age then you are wise far beyond your years, and you are an example your peers would do well to emulate.

Just want you to know I, for one, appreciate you being in this forum and participating. And it is awesome to KNOW that if you continue in your love and service to Jesus you will be far wiser than I could ever dream of being and at half my age!

May God bless you with His Peace that passes understanding, and may He fill you to overflowing with love and wisdom!

Thanks for the kind words Aaron. I consider you a blessing to this place as well. We are all Gods children and He uses us each in different ways, all are of equal importance.

Stormy! I'm glad to see you here Nice job on showing what's on those tables! we most certainly can find great joy and peace when serving God.


Table One = Giving Freely

Table Two = Greed

Thank you GMI and Gerry.

Table 1 -- honesty
Table 2 -- trickery

Good ones Arron! With honesty we find peace, and don't have to worry. With trickery you will only be stuck with endless worry about being caught in a lie.

Table One = Obedience

Table Two = Disobedience

 

[ZiSunka]

Table one--love
Table two--selfishness

Table One = Meekness

Psalm 147:6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.


Table Two = Conceit

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Amen! If ever there were two verses speaking to Christians today it is these! The Lord lifteth up the meek indeed, because meekness is a fruit of the Spirit, and we are commanded, in meekness to forebear one another in love with long suffering. Eph. 4:2

Conceit is a sin of pride and the Lordhates even a proud look. Proverbs 6:15

Table One = Loving God above all else

Table Two = Love for things of the world.


Colossians 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
