Learn to Discern: How to Recognize and Respond to Error in the Culture ["Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." Jude 1:3, NKJV.]
(Joh 10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
“And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
SINCE YOU ARE ZEALOUS FOR SPIRITUAL GIFTS, LET IT BE FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE CHURCH THAT YOU SEEK TO EXCEL. ( 1 CORINTHIANS 14:12 *NKJV )
Greetings, Salutations and Felicitations! Hmmmmm........ Felicitations. Brother. There's one of those archaic words you just don't hear being used anymore. The word originally began its usage meaning "congratulations" but evolved into a word for rejoicing, best compliments and -- generally -- verbal bouquets.
Howdee! Thought I was going to get today's Coffee Break out in the last couple of days, but Embarq has been having some server issues during the past week or so, and yesterday someone cut a fiber optic cable near the Columbia River, and that shut us down for nearly 24 hours.
G'Mornin'! Just printed out a copy of Kingdom Economics XXII this morning and realized that I was a bit windier than normal (!). I usually print out my Coffee Breaks the day they are written and posted, but our printer was down, and we were waiting for the Xerox guy to get here. Anyway, the extra length in XXII made up for the shortness of XX.
Howdy! Did you have a great Easter? It was a wonderful celebration of our redemption. As I noted before, I much prefer to refer to the day as Resurrection Day. That's the day that Jesus rose from the dead and demonstrated his absolute supremacy over death, disease and decay.
Even if I'm a bit early, Happy Easter, Everyone! Maybe I should better say, Happy Resurrection Day! Sound better? Yup. I like that better, anyway.
Greetings to you, Oh Great, Wise, and Illustrious Ones! When's the last time you had a Good Morning greeting like that! Yeah, Yeah. OK Michael, Robert, Lynn the rest of you smart alec who heard it before! No wisecracks from the peanut gallery.
