Update 3/10/2024 matthew 25:29 means GIVE in my 2024 estimation, give your money to help out poor etc. etc. to church so they can hopefully help the poor hopefully when donating to churches you ain't just lining pastors pockets. Give your time, give you wisdom ---------- GIVE! A stingy life will just lead according to Matthew 25:29 to loosing everything eventually.
(I'm painting Bob Ross pieces nowdays this is my interpretation of "Arizona Splendor" season 5 Episode 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8JPvZMX9ks)
This verse is starting to TRANSFORM my entire life Matthew 25:29 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." (we aren't supposed to be conformed to this world but transformed by the word of god - AMEN! Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.")OK..........right now we are in perilous times let's just admit it................a time where people all over the place are posting up pics on the facebook and the instagram (I do it to but for reasons other then being self absorbed..............................people got me believing I'll like stop existing pretty much if I don't post some pics up.................and it's a way for me to be "social" for me these days EVERYTHING is now pure, it's your heart in the matter that makes the difference Titus 1:15
"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." If your putting up all those photo's just to be sociable, it maybe ain't great, maybe not a great example for unbelievers................god looks at our hearts...........it's men that look at the outward appearance 1 Samuel 16:7 "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.")
But anyways these are perilous times 2 Timothy 3:1-2 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," Can I be honest???? Sometimes I don't even see social interaction on the facebook, or the instagram, so that I don't see people replying here on my blog often doesn't surprise me. I'm not trying to judge, I'm just trying to hone in on the peril of the times we live in and the realness of said peril.
And why is it peril, I've mentioned this on a previous post, cause if we loose our salt, the bible says how can we regain the saltiness Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." That is where true riches is located I believe, in loving people, don't we all know it?????? What do we all say on thanksgiving but that we are thankful for friends and family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THESE FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM PHOTO TIMES ARE PERILOUS INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." I risking yet again getting busted with the baptist's : ) probably not though : ) pretty sure the baptist's love me. Which is AWESOME! But anyways, I look around my current church and I wonder..........is the love growing cold??????? Were they once a much warmer to each other people?????????? I do not know the answers but these things I ponder. But if this has happened, to the baptist's or any church for that matter....................
It's not their fault probably it's going to happen everywhere pry cause the bible says it's going to happen Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
At every church there is a bit of a high archy I estimate.........................
there is the day care workers
there is the sunday school staff
there is the church secretary
there is the church band members
......................if in the event the people not so active in the church, like got all worked up by how much the church band members were congratulated or something.................their love could grow cold????
It's gonna happen, iniquity will ABOUND, and the love of many shall wax cold.
And by iniquity the bible means
those that "have"
and those that "have not"
Those that have will have even more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And those that "have not" will loose even the things they seemeth to have!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew 25:29 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."
But this is how my life is being completely transformed ROCKED by Matthew 25:29...............AND YOU CAN GO AHEAD CALL ME A COMPLETE BIBLE NERD : )
If you just have some right.
serve a bit right
this last week I taught a painting class at the baptist church I've been going to
More shall be given right to those that "hath"
You could look at me and think your seeing the most miserable pathetic earth scirge since the beginning of mankind ---------------- and maybe you'd be even right in having that estimation.................but god's about to abundance me GALORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean you know sooner or later if I keep at it..........Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
ps.............I'm being serious, if someone has Joel Osteens e-mail address, could you e-mail this post to joel osteen, because his message is often focusing on the hope there is for good things in the future for us if we just heed god's word.............like my blog is these days. I want Joel Osteen to use the stuff in this post, rip me directly off joel osteen PLEASE.
Cause we might many of us be in churches were the love seems to be growing cold. Now more then ever I'm saying the body of christ I believe needs to believe in the power of the word of god, in the power of god to save us fully and transform us, and our lives.................in a great way!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great week!
LOVE

I totally agree...sometimes love is more precious than anything. You can be rich and want for nothing. But if you dont have love you have nothing.
