Good morning and good day everyone. I do pray that you all are having a blessed day and that you all are well. This is another day that the LORD GOD has made.

I want to share with you all the rise of anti Semitism. It is another form of hate conceived by evil one to distract us from the LORD. And not only that to divide the peoples of the earth from bonding and having fellowship with each other.

When we do not obey or listen to our loving GOD about the warnings pf the world, meaning the dangers of listening to the devil and his lies …it casue all kinds of confusion and hate.

For our beloved JESUS who walked the face of the earth was a jew.

John 8:31-59 King James Version (KJV)

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Anti Semitism is an example of it.

Being a jew is not a race, it is a faith called Judaism. The people read their Bible called the Tanakh from my understanding. And the people will be in all skin colors like those who are Christians are too!

African jewish women.

When I hear people say mean things about anyone I don’t like it. And to hear people say they do not like Jews are doing just what the evil one wants us to do cause all kinds of confusion and fights and wars.

“Jesus Christ was born in a particular place and at a specific time in history. Although His Father was God (through the agency of the Holy Spirit), His mother was a Jewish woman named Mary. Her husband, Joseph, was Jesus’ legal father or guardian. According to the genealogy from Mary, on His human side Christ is descended from the Israelite tribal patriarch Judah and his descendant King David (Luke 3:31, Luke 3:33; compare Acts 2:30; 2 Timothy 2:8).” from the site https://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/booklets/who-is-god/jesus-was-a-jew

Being a Christian because I have accepted JESUS as my savior and I follow our beloved Christ JESUS…..I do understand as to why we are called Christians. Christs believer and followers are called as such.

The jews from my understanding have not accepted our JESUS as the messiah and only a jewish teacher.

Faces of young jewish boys with their locs.

I have seen jews in all colors across the earth in photos. None are all one color. The oldest group of people are the Ethiopians who are to believes as the first jews. And even there they are different shades for brown too.

Hasidic jewish woman with her head covered

The white hasidic jew from Brooklyn New York look totally different from the jews in africa with the way how they dress, they way they believe as well too. They do still cover their heads both the men and the women, but they way how they may think to serve maybe a little different,

Hasidic jewish men.

See, to say one hates jews is wrong, for as I have mentioned… JESUS WAS A JEW.

Judaism is the 1st religion mankind practiced waiting foe JESUS to come to earth for the 1st time for our salvation.

Let us remember what season this is right now. It is the Christmas season and JESUS is the reason for the season. This season and all seasons now , when our JESUS returns and for all seasons!!!

Have a blessed day, and please do share this blog with others so they will be blessed as well. Thank you all for taking the time to read my blog post!

Peace!!!!

Where is JESUS at Christmas?

Hello everyone! Today is the last day of the month of November 2019 when I am writing this. When you read this it will be the last month of the year in 2019. I do pray you all will have a blessed day as we prepare for the celebration of Christmas 2019!

As I go through a certain craft store here in New York…..I wanted to get some Christmas items for decoration. So I looked arounf the store looking at the elves, santas, snowmen, winter scenes, tinsel, garland…there was nothing in there with the name of JESUS there.

To me, it is like celebrating a persons birthday and leaving them out of it, but putting another person in their place. So in other words, celebrating Joe’s birthday with nancy there. Her picture instead of Joe’s picture all through the celebration.

I went to anther store and found nothing with JESUS on it. Even the holiday cards in that store left JESUS out. “What’s going on here?” I said to my husband. ” Do not see any cards for Christmas with JESUS on it.” So when I found a sales associate, I asked if they carried anything religious there for Christmas. She said she has seen anything like that in a way that let me know she felt bad about it. But she only worked there, and was not the one incharge of ordering.

I made this picture with the https://picfont.com/editor

To me JESUS is the reason for the celebration in the 1st place. JESUS was left out in the local stores, and this is totally not right. The holiday was transformed into something that has nothing to do with JESUS coming to earth to save all mankind from the sins we all have done our whole lives long. All done through the hands of GOD.

Each year beit through commercials, movies, plays ….left our our beloved JESUS from this day. Taking the HOLY meaning of all the things we are doing.

Each year it gets worse and worse. Making the holiday for selling and buying more important for the love of our savior.

I don’t know about you, when I see them leave our JESUS it hurts. It hurts me because it feels like it hurts me as well. It hurts me because I do love JESUS and HE is in my heart.

As a child I remember the talk about the 12 days of Christmas too. There was that popular song called “The 12 days of Christmas”. It talked about the gifts of the 12 days. I looked up on this, and some will say that the meanings behind the 12 written in the around the 15th century was not made to teach children about the bible. But I find this interesting as what it may have meant here.

The songs gifts are hidden meanings to the teachings of the faith. The “true love” mentioned in the song doesn’t refer to an earthly suitor, it refers to God Himself. The “me” who receives the presents refers to every baptized person. The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge which feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestlings, much in memory of the expression of Christ’s sadness over the fate of Jerusalem: “Jerusalem! Jerusalem! How often would I have sheltered thee under my wings, as a hen does her chicks, but thou wouldst not have it so…”

The other symbols mean the following:

2 Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens = Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues
4 Calling Birds = the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
5 Golden Rings = The first Five Books of the Old Testament, the “Pentateuch”, which gives the history of man’s fall from grace.
6 Geese A-laying = the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle’s Creed

Put JESUS back into Christmas, we can do so by….

  1. Put son of the one GOD of all heaven and earth, Jesus Back Into Christmas This Year. Tell your children the true meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate. It is the celebration of the birth of the savior of the entire human kind!
  2. Observe Advent. It is a season observed in many Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas and the return of Jesus at the Second Coming. The term is a version of the Latin word meaning “coming”.
  3. Go to Church.
  4. Display a Crèche. Or Nativity Scene. I will keep the feeling the reason for the season.
  5. Read the Christmas Story Out Loud. Start from the book of Matthew.
  6. Don’t Cut Christmas Short. There are 12 days of Christmas to follow if you choose to do so. But if you are one who prays every single day and through your day, this is already done.
  7. Listen to Real Christmas Music. Music that has the real meaning of Christmas, not “Rudolf the reindeer” sort of thing. But ones like ‘Oh HOLY” night.
  8. Wear Your Faith on Your Sleeve.

From an interesting read Dec 8, 2016 “7 Ways To Put Jesus Back Into Christmas This Year”. You can read more here. https://thefederalist.com/2016/12/08/7-ways-put-jesus-back-christmas-year/

What my Grandmother had taught me as a child was to say the LORD’S prayer in the morning of Christmas Day to show respect for the day. I do get one my knees every night before going to bed, but this was special. It was the day we choose to celebrate the coming of the LORD JESUS.

We do not have to listen to the secular peoples way as how to celebrate the LORDS day. It is our souls that we are concerned about and the acceptance of JESUS into out lives.

Have a blessed day , stay safe, stay in prayer at all times! Please like ans share this blog so there’s so that they will get a blessing as well too. Thank you for reading this blog.

Peace!

Being thankful every day to GOD!

1 Thessalonians 5:18

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

King James Version

Good morning everyone, or the time you are able to read this blog. I do hope and pray that you all will be able to enjoy your day!

This 2019, as we get to the “Turkey Day” we will gather our loved ones together at the table and enjoy a good meal. Yes , it is not a Christian holiday, but to those of us who are one we make it so by giving thanks to our GOD in unity with our friends and family. Food is used as sort of like a bonding and enjoyment to the celebration.

But we all know we should give thanks to our beloved FATHER GOD for all of the blessings he has given us our whole life long each and every single day of life.

GOD is good, loving and patient.

For those of you who are able to be with your family in a nice warm home, in clean clothes, good health and a good paying job you are thankful but do not realize just how blessed you are. There are so many places where people are suffering . Not just AFRICA as some people will be quick to say off the top of their heads, but this is ALL over the world were people suffer.

You can walk down the streets of Manhattan New York on 5th ave and see homeless people or ride the subways. These people are still someones child, mother, father, brother, sister, relative or friend. So to walk by and disrespect a person when they are down is not GODLY. We should do what we can to help in the GODLY way for people, not just during the holiday seasons, but all seasons do people need help.

I would love to one day , GOD willing to have a shelter for women and children separately for the single moms, one for single men alone, and one for families so they are not separated or broken up. Such as the dad sent to another location from the wife and children.

Let us count our blessings. I bet you can count up to about 100 if you took the time to do so. Once we do let us thank GOD for those we remember and for those we have forgotten too.

I am so grateful to be able to share my love of GOD with you all as one of my blessings!

Psalms 107:1

“O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”

King James Version (KJV)

The squeaky door you hear in the background is my husband coming into the kitchen to see how dinner is coming along! LOL! This is the baked mac and cheese about to go into the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes or until done.
  • My oven baked mac and cheese from scratch.

Ephesians 5:20

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”

King James Version (KJV)

I usually leave the turkey in longer than when I see the pop-up. The skin has to be buttery crispy for us. Not soggy, but the meat still being tender.

Colossians 3:15 – 3:17

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

James 1:17

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

King James Version (KJV)

Philippians 4:6

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

King James Version (KJV)

These are the spices I like to use. Maybe the brands will change, but the spice itself does not change. Just the company that makes it from time to time.
This was nice and juicy and hubby made gravy from the turkey juices.

2 Corinthians 9:15

“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”

King James Version (KJV)

Psalms 106:1

“Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”

King James Version (KJV)

Whipped potatoes with butter and not cream, some salt and black pepper. We prefer it this way, so creamy!

Psalms 105:1

“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.”

King James Version (KJV)

Stove top stuffing. Husband likes it and it saves me time out of the kitchen too.
Hubby likes this brand, and that’s good. Less to do in th kitchen.

Psalms 20:4

“Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.”

King James Version (KJV)

Homemade cranberry sauce from whole cranberries!

Psalms 30:12

“To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.”

King James Version (KJV)

Collards cooking.

Now viewing scripture range from the book of Psalms chapter 118:1 through chapter 118:18…

Psalms Chapter 118

1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever.

Homegrown beans for our meal.

Colossians 3:15

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

King James Version (KJV)

Deviled eggs per request.

Colossians 4:2

“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;”

King James Version (KJV)

Apples , cherries and raisins sauteed in butter, brown sugar and apple juice until thickened some to add to yogurt for fruit parfaits.
Vanilla yogurt and sauteed fruit combo.

Colossians 3:17

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

King James Version (KJV)

The one thing I didn’t make from scratch beside the stuffing was the iced Arizona Zero Green tea. All of the main meal I made , except for the tea. I suppose it was not challenging enough for me to make! LOL! But I do happen to like this brand of tea. All pictures of the food are mine as I was getting the meal done. I will share the recipe if enough of you ask.

Psalms 100:4

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

King James Version (KJV)

Let us all pray for all of the people we know and don’t know. For we do not know what situations they are in at this time. Some people are quite about what they are going through for not wanting to let others know for pride or whatever regarding if they need help in getting food. Share what you can and feel that the LORD is compelling you to do. Not what any person will demand that you do, listen to GOD and he will aim you in the direction you need to be to help someone.

Praise and glory be to GOD now and forever and all of eternity long. Have a safe, blessed, happy thanks giving . Please pass this blog post forward to others so they can be blessed as well too.

Peace!!!

GOD’s word. Food for the hungry soul!

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
As we know how to feed the body with good food, we also know how to feed the soul with GOD’s good words and encouragement from HOS words in the Bible!

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to you all in “your neck of the woods!”

GOD is a good GOD, patient, loving, fair, perfect, one of a kind and our heavenly FATHER to all who love HIM. GOD is perfectly cool!

GOD shows us how loving HE is by reading and hearing HIS words from the HOLY Bible. At work I will listen to the bible through this channel that will play the King James Version of the Bible read by an actor by the name Alexander Scourby,

The comfort of listening to GOD’s word.

I will read the word with my husband at night with prayer. I will say that when you begin to read the word, you will see the ways of the world then with those who did not want to listen to GOD is the same sin they did then as now. And this is where the comfort comes in.

But the best example of living right to the very end is JESUS. He was good from day one until he gave up the ghost on the cross for all of us sinners here on earth who walked the face of GOD’s earth.

John Chapter 6

50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

We get the bread! When reading the word, the soul does not get hungry. We are fed with the nourishment and power of the word of GOD. Being able to withstand the nonsense of the worlds antics.

John Chapter 6

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

We get the meat! More power and nourishment to live by and keep our faith in check at all times! And we will get full from the words truth. We need that to keep us going for the ways of the world can wear you out.

John 4:14

“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

King James Version (KJV)

Jesus is the living water, we will never thirst again for we will have everlasting life. JESUS will be with us until the end of the earth,

When you are in need of nourishment , and are thirsty for the love and attention that can only come from GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS….reach out for the Bible and read it for you soul to be fed with the HOLY spirit!

Fill your spirit with the meat, bread, water, and the fruit of the spirit. Tis is the best meal one will ever have.

Blessings to you all you have read the word of GOD and in this blog. Pass it forward so that others will receive a blessing as well too. Please do pass it forward! Thank you all for reading my blog and giving it a like and following it. For it is done for the love of GOD!

Peace!!

Being positive around negativity.

Picture is from this site: http://deliveranceministry.com.au/how-to-handle-court-legal-matters-per-proverbs-25/

Good day to you all. I do pray that you all are and will have a blessed day!

We all need to be and stay encouraged 24/7 by our every loving FATHER GOD. We can not even wake up to get our air to breathe each day without HIM.

Avoiding negative situations can be a test of faith. It is not easy as there are so many people who do not know the LORD, or who do but still struggle hard with being positive.

If we were to be alone or away from negative people for some time , we wou.d relax and enjoy the peace. Many of us can not do this for jobs, family , health or whatever else that may distract us from the LORD.

It takes some prayer and practice to be positive as humanly possible with the help of JESUS to lead the way. Shaking off the nonsense of the day, and just having that JESUS time to yourself in a nice quiet space. It could be in your car when you are on your breaks , or when you are the 1st one up in your busy household at your kitchen table with your Bible.

Positive words to incorporate in our thoughts and talks after reading the word and knowing scripture first and foremost are excellent. They will also have others to speak them too. Encouraging one another with compliments too.

These words of encouragement are from a non Christian site called https://englishstudyhere.com/ways-to-say/45-ways-to-praise/ .

Now with this in mind to encourage our family, friends and coworkers, along with our scripture we will help others besides ourselves once we keep our focus on the LORD. So they can see and feel the same joy/love you do because of the love of GOD in you.

As we with a JESUS heart we can lead others to JESUS who maynot truly know what to do to get to JESUS to be saved. They must confess the LORD JESUS as savior and let HIM into thier lives.

So with giving each other praise, encouragement, and the love of JESUS with us we will plant the “seed of faith” for those around us. And for GOD to nourish the seed into a flown grown born again saved soul.

Have a blessed day, share this post with others so that they too can recieve a blessing from reading GODS word! Pass it forward in faith and prayer.

Print this picture out to hang up and use to remember to keep on the right path to heaven.

Good morning everyone, I do pray that you will have a blessed, happy, and healthy day! For GOD is so loving and healing! Ask me how I know!

When I think about the people I am close to as in my loved ones, family, friends, and those I meet in passing I do hope that we will all meet up in heaven when it is time. I would not want to see anyone not make it in.

I do pray for my enemies and put them into my prayer list too. I am hoping to have all people in there I have met besides the people I have already met.

2 Peter 3:9

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

King James Version (KJV)

I tell you all, that it is sad when you see people that will not come to JESUS for help for they assume that the sins they are in are so great that they cannot make it in. Let GOD decide that, just repent! The devil has lied to you long ENOUGH!

Read the Bible about one of the disciples named Paul. (aka Saul the persecutor and Saul or Tarsus) These links will explain in more detail. But when reading anything pertaining to the Bible always have your Bible to refer to. Such as the KJV and the NKJV. https://www.gotquestions.org/Saul-of-Tarsus.html , https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle , and https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/apostle-paul-biography-and-profile/

Saul who was later known as Paul was a persecutor of the Church, doing evil to both Jew and Roman peoples. This man changed and became an Apostle . See, he was forgiven. He repented and was then know as Paul later on .

Accepting JESUS as savior, doing the good loving will of the LORD and repentance will get Paul into heaven and being told “Well done”.

“Well done!” I know I want to hear it. I know I want to see my loved ones who has crossed over there in heaven as well too. And for all of the people I know be it here online or face to face. It will be good when we meet in heaven in the presence of GOD the Almighty, JESUS and all of the Angels too.

Don’t listen to the lies of the devil any longer, listen to GOD and HIS ever loving son JESUS who speak the truth! Repent and do good. Read the Bible, for the people who repented from sin were the ones who wound up doing right by GOD. Showing us all that we can change and do GOD’S will!

Have a blessed day, pass it forward this blog post and the words of the Bible in it so others will be blessed too!

Peace!

Thank you!

Bible Tracts to encourage.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs 1 Comment
Getting my ideas together for a tract for Ephesians armor of GOD.

Hello everyone! I do pray that you all will have a blessed day! For this is another day that the LORD has made! YAY!

You know, I maybe an oddball to a lot of people just because I love GOD! But this is my choice to do so….and it makes be happier than anything else in the world as to believe in GOD and follow JESUS!

There are many people who love GOD so, and his beloved son JESUS that we want to share the joy! And some people through the loving word of GOD or in actions of caring. Some of us through illustrations. and Bible tracts. I do both. And what I have always liked was those #Jack Chick bible tracts. I liked the drawings, and the message. I was direct and to the point. As a child riding the subway with my parents there were people handing out these tracts. They are like little comic books….but not really comical. They were meant to lead people to the LORD and be saved.

Yes they were scary, but they are only scary if you do not know the LORD yet. And hated messages if you love the sin you are in, and not the LORD.

But I was never able to keep one. I would take it to school or home and it would be worn out and lost .

Seeing how some people who did not like the Jack Chick.com tracts and I did, I wanted to know why they felt the way they did. They felt as though they were being condemned by those who felt they were “holier than thou.”

And I get that too. They are very direct and preach hard about heaven and hell through situations in life. But no one I know likes to be yelled at and having their finger wagging at them. That includes me. I have met women who felt I should not wear pants made for women (even on a cold day under a dress), or make-up to be well groomed, fashionable modest clothing So yeah. I have had my share of those types of Christians judging me too.

I want to show the love of JESUS in my tracts I am working on. I will share them with you once I am able to somehow save them in a PDF file. I feel I need to spread the love a JESUS in a way that is not pointing the finger , using scare tactics and yelling.

Drawings and more drawings. You know you have to be able to fit the drawing and the scripture on to one sheet of paper. and that can get tricky. You do not want the images or words to be cut off when working on the tract.

The first idea or design always takes me longer to do because it is an adjustment period. Re-figuring how things need to be. And always with the thought that you are doing this with our GOD in mind.

Before adding more detail to drawing.

As I get to the point where i will add some color, I will then need to be able to show you all the finished product of encouragement . It takes me longer than some others. I do have a full time job and other projects I do. So be patient and you will see the finished tract. I might not add color as how I see Jack Chick did not to his. I have to give it thoughtful prayer!

Have a blessed day. Stay in prayer! Avoid negative people who aim to disrespect you in all ways possible. They are distractions from keeping your eyes on the LORD.

Peace!

Holier-than-thou.

Only one man who ever walked the face of the earth can claim it, our LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Romans 3:23

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

King James Version (KJV)

Good day everyone I pray that all is well with you and that our beloved GOD is always watching over you to guide you all in what you do and go.

Have you ever met a person who claimed to be Christian , knowing you are one will compare to see who between the two of you is more Holier than the other? I have met people like this. And those who where non Christians that thought that all Christians were judging them or others. They assume we all think we have an holier than thou way of thinking.

Not so. Not one person can say they know all peoples heart except GOD.

I must say this, as a person who wants to make it into heaven into our ever loving FATHERS house……I confess that I can say I am a sinner. As it is will all mankind, womankind, and of all ages. For only JESUS was perfect and without sin.

How can one assume they are Holier than thou in the first place when if they know JESUS came to earth to save all mankind souls who believe in him? See, there were no righteous men who could do what he was able to do?

Romans 3:10

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”

King James Version (KJV)

If we as Christians do this to each other, then the secular world will see it and have an excuse as not to follow JESUS for not wanting to be treated as such. And with seeing how secular people may treat each other…..they will stay in the place of non-belief where they are and not be saved. For they will see that the world they are in is not any better.

James 4:11-12 – Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.   (Read More…)

Mark 11:25 – And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

I am hoping that all of us who have been judged by others who feel that they were made to feel less HOLY than the person who is a Christian will not take it as they are being condemned to hell because they said so. Just so you know it is GOD, and GOD alone who is the judge as to who is allowed into HIS house.

This is why it is good to read the word and to study it. Right there in the Bible it will tell you the plan GOD has for us all to follow. And to accept HIS son JESUS as savior is the key to heavens gate. JESUS is the key because he was sent by GOD as a sacrifice to save all mankind who believe and live by GOD’s plan. JESUS is part of GOD’s plan for peace, love, joy, and no more negative issues of this world to steal your happiness.

In GOD’s timing, we will be called home to HIS house if we are saved. Once saved, we will all see heaven together. There we can enjoy being with HIM, JESUS , the Angels and all of those that was called before us.

Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV)

May you all have a blessed day, encourage one another. If someone approaches you who is on fire for the LORD and they seem like they are acting “Holier-than-thou”, give them a chance to see if all they are doing is letting you know the good news of the gospel.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog with the words from the Bible and the posts! Pass it forward and share the blessing!

Peace!

RUN!
