  1. Jesus unites... (yet he also creates division) Love the Lord....Love our Neighbor....In Christ.....United. Jesus states, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Mathew 10, 34 Jesus said, “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.” Luke 12:51
  2. WHY IS THE WORLD SO OBSESSED WITH COLOR! Not the world that is obsessed but those who want to run/control it. Pointing out color, language, differences, divides the whole. Division genders strife. Strife creates today's evening news.
  3. Exact same scenario as did my wife and I, backontrack. No jab in half century. Exact same drugs/vitamins, she lost taste, myself nothing. She was back at work in her business in 5 days, myself a few days later. Plus Ivermectine horse wormer paste. I've had worse flu as a kid. Hydroxychloroquine is the pill that myself and every veteran took in Viet Nam, myself for two yrs, a quinine type for malarial diseases, where also in Africa's jungle environment, it is called the Sunday Sunday pill. EVERYBODY takes it every Sunday for many many yrs. It is taken to boost/strengthen the immune system, but before the covid is more than 5 days in system. Pills were less than 5 bucks a 60 ea count bottle prior to government intervention. I had to pay almost $200 through Canadian tele pharmacy fee and pills. What a rip. Hydroxychloroquine over many decades has been called the miracle drug, in safe use over seventy years. When the Fauci guru claimed it would not help with covid and may even kill, I knew something was really stinking in DC. Thanks, backontrack...
  4. I've worked construction job sites here in south Texas for over fifty years and often enough the only gringo on the job. Most coming from Mexico back then are not like locals in that they are quiet without an attitude, and hard workers who just want to earn a days wage to send home to their families. Many's the time I brought no lunch only to be ask to eat with then and share their lunch as they usually sat around and shared food to each other, home made tortillas salsa, tacos and chilies and fresh/refried beans. Humble workers. Pero, no habla English mucho...cool....no le hace..
  5. I learned reading in John chapter 15; 1, that we as christians are like branches having been grafted into Jesus Christ the true vine, and abiding there, and the Father tends to pruning the branches, us, the grafted in believers. It says that Jesus is the producer of the fruit, the nutrients flowing out of the vine into the branches, us believers, and we bear 'HIS' fruit. We only bear his fruit as we abide (in Christ in the spirit, led by the spirit, walking in the spirit. Abiding) We don't work for Jesus. Jesus works through us. If we abide in him. "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing" If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15 (cool) And it says we, as believers can do nothing. Wow! But, IN CHRIST we can do all things. WE do not work for God. But God works THROUGH us. Then he receives the glory. Yet only as we abide, our head and heart are led by God in what we do, or don't do. We bear the fruit. We do not produce it. Jesus produces the fruit. We abide and bear his fruit. Much fruit Glorifies the Father. Years ago as a young believer realizing I just couldn't do it, couldn't do all what scripture said to do or not do, a seasoned old friend told me I had just taken my first baby step in growing as a believer, and could move from milk to the meat. Allow God to carry the burden, as IN Christ, I can do all things. Abide. In the spirit. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your worries on him because he cares for us”.
  6. Or come down here to my new south Texas neighbors, everywhere. Whole new mission field.. for whosoever... "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest" Matthew 9:37-38 KJV
  7. Wow! Neighbor, I knew you were older than me, but wow...... The twenties....
  8. Grew up in the 50's-60's, I can only remember our family eating out at a restaurant one time, a Spaghetti house in the country with other families outside with tables under the trees on gravel. Fun place for us kids. There was nine in our family to feed, and mom had pots and pans that could be used by the army cooks. Hamburgers back then were mostly four for a dollar then, specials often at six for a dollar for a special time. This was before all the burger franchises took over and each burger joint had it's own colorful names, and special burger/fries recipes and dairy ice cream flavors. The one burger drive through next to the dry cleaners I worked at as a youth had coffee with ice cream in it (yuk) or a neat Fritos bean burger, a meat patty cooked with refried beans on top and topped with crunched up Fritos and jalapenos, sitting at the counter and watch the cook work. Killer! (I live in south central Texas) When our kids were young in the 80's, after church on Sunday we would head out to the flea market and stop on the way at 'Floyd's Hamburgers' and get a couple bags at six for $1.78. No sodas, had our own cold water/chips in a cooler. Went to dollar a carload drive in movies. cheap For years we raised most of our own beef, young Jersey bulls I got from the dairy for free as new borns that had to be bottle fed, then calf manna and grain and butcher. Dairy's did not need/want any more bulls:). Big garden, chickens for fresh eggs. Our eating healthy was more due to economics than diet discipline. I remember my grandma giving us kids a dollar ea with a coupon each and driving us to go into the store and buy six large cans of things like Del Monte peas for a 99cents, limit 1 coupon per customer, (kid). Coupons, S @ H Green stamps etc were the norm to beat the system. All trees and bushes at home were food producers, pecan and pears, figs and loquat trees, strawberry and Pomegranates, peaches and plumbs etc. Cool aid and home made ice cream were about the only sugary food we ate, unless we found enough bottles at 2 cents returnable to score a candy bar. Thinking about stuff like that it seems I appreciated/enjoyed the little as special than the more of today. Weird. Absence makes the heart (stomach) grow fonder... Best junk food for me is a Coney foot long chili cheese dog with onions and relish and steamed buns, w/tater tots salt and pepper, on date night.
  9. Yes. But in what way would knowing who/when the rapture, and then meanwhile how would it affect your daily walk in Christ, gathering your sheaves? "They that sow in tears Shall reap in joy" "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" Psalms 126:5-6 Then, the Bema seat.......our report card. Think on that one.... Thanks, farouk
  10. End times in scripture is like walking in a maze, TO ME! I defer to the best authority God as he reveals to me. Seems I remember something about getting my house in order as the day approaches. Storing up riches that perishes not. The Bema seat will reveal my/our prideful foolishness. I remember in scripture some warnings I think about wanting to know what even Jesus didn't know. I don't speculate on what is revealed about the past or future, unknown clearly. God knows, and can handle it. Today is the day of the Lord. I enter into another opportunity to serve, our savior, or world flesh devil. I really prefer to know more about walking in the spirit, abiding in Christ, dealing with spiritual warfare etc. It's a neat feeling talking to a stranger about how God has changed my life, and can change theirs. Doesn't everyone feel that? I think it is important to be a good steward of what I already know. The purpose of hearing is to direct my doing, my walk. Today. Thanks Mr. M....
  11. I feel I kinda knew how important it has been to you for us to stay on topic in your teachings here. And would hope you do same in sharing your understanding with others wherever the road takes you. You have kept me on my 'spiritual' toes many's the time, and I've been blessed. Thank you, Mister M...
  12. Working so many years construction sites, we looked forward to see the 'roach coach' drive up with south Tex-Mex cuisine... Tacos made fresh each day with fresh home made tortillas or tamales with peppered meat, and much more. And any pepper you desired. Mom and pop type operation. And the shut down from work for a pause was always welcome.
  13. "For there will never cease to be poor in the land" Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, .....(not the government-they're the problem) to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’ Deuteronomy 15:11 Us, believers,....not the government-they're the problem. "For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always" Matthew 26:11 God is talking to his people, not the government. Each believer is accountable him/her self to help. Not government taking excess earnings to distribute to welfare give away to takers for election votes. There is always going to be poor. We get it. We do our part. Why talk so much about what is so wrong? We get it. I tried to present the way to help the poor that works, and not just (church"y" soup kitchens) as you call them, but ways that actually deal with the problem. Perhaps you can tell us your method you use to help the needy. Suggestions for action. Rehashing the problems, pushing guilt does nothing. Why not post some success stories of those who have overcome this problem and who/what was it that helped them. Something the rest of us can learn and perhaps become involved, instead of reading some books to get motivated. The word of God should be our motivation. "To him who knoweth to do good and doeth it not"......................aha! We know there is a problem. Post your methods you use that work that we can learn to use.. Thanks Neighbor...
  14. Our bible study, men's class, though structured (semi formal) it becomes casual(informal) and mostly can stray in any direction on any topic, digging for nuggets participated by everyone so there is active back and forth questions/answers by all. I see this as a cool opportunity for what a member may be seeking, but related to the topic that is not on the structured agenda. Our teacher having a particular lesson prepared eventually draws us back on topic, yet much is learned by so many different promptings of God's spirit, sometimes much as not as from each other as our teacher.
