Thursday’s Thoughts

Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

“To Number our days does not mean to count them – it means to value them in the light of eternity.”

How do we apply our hearts to wisdom?

  1. Know Jesus as your Savior
  2. Accept the Bible as your guide for life.
  3. Obey the bible and apply its’ truths to your life.

The above thoughts were taken from My Morning Manna by Ed Nelson, vol. 3, p. 213

*****************

Psalms 29:2  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

2 Chronicles 20:21  And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, . . .

 

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Words: Reginald Heber

Music:  John B. Dykes

May we live in the light of His holiness today.  Because God is holy we are to live a holy lives.  We are to keepvourselves pure and unspotted from the world.  Spots and stains are ugly and sometimes hard to get out.  Stay out of the world and don’t let the spots and stains get there in the first place.

One day believers will have not spots or wrinkles.  Until that day we should  work at getting the spots and wrinkles out of our lives through obedience to God’s Word.

Some Things do not have an End

I love my family.  There are the only thing on earth you can take with you to eternity.  How important to share the gospel with all of them!  It is exciting to see my grand children, one by one come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.  I look forward to the day when each one of them has been saved through the blood of Jesus Christ and I look forward to that great reunion in heaven.  You can be 100% sure!

9 Characteristics of a Christian’s Music

I love to listen and sit under the influence of Dr. Don Scovill, music chairman of Ambassador Baptist College and music director at our church, Maranatha Baptist Church of Shelby, NC. He has been teaching in Sunday School on music.  Last Sunday he gave us 9 characteristics of a Christian’s Music.  Truly, the music of a Christian ought to be different from that of the world. My music must show my changed life or regenerated experience.  If there is no change, then we have a defective salvation or perhaps, no salvation.  2Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. My music should show ownership. We are not our own.  We belong to Christ.  Be careful what you put into your body, mind, and soul.  Does it reflect the ownership of Christ? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which y...
