The cares of this life can choke the word of god, this is why I decided to become a freelance graphic designer......

Update 10/20/2023 - Sheri 2023 agree's with sheri 2015 that it's best to "make time" for god - sure people CAN do that with very hectic days..............but it's harder for them. Luke 8:14 "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."

   The latest scarf I knitted 😁...........................

(my latest painting is of a rhino, pic on the left my husband took at the zoo this last weekend - turns out I enjoy painting rhino's a lot : ) 

The cares of this life can choke the word of god, this is why I decided to become a freelance graphic designer. I don't want to have so much """""stuffs""""""" going on in my life that I don't have time anymore for god or his word. Yes you can have a full time job and follow jesus...........but I think scenario's do play out in this world where people have full time jobs and then they come home and they have so much going on AND GOD'S WORD IS CHOKED!!!!!!!!! Luke 8:14 "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection." That doesn't have to happen to you if you have a full time job, you can be in god's word throughout the day (if you make the time) you can have a full time job and walk in the spirit, it is possible Galatians 5:25 "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

  I am greedy for god like god is jealous for me................I like so much to have a certain amount of prayer time everyday, and a certain amount of being in god's word everyday etc. I want god to draw near to me, and jesus to increase in my life --------------------- MORE THEN I WANT ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Philippians 3:8 "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"

 Topic #2 at hand...........wedding rings..................

Today I was reading from the book of james James 2:2-3 "For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:"

 Ok this is new testiment.........in this verse it is talking about someone wearing a "gold ring" and not only are they not being shunned away, it appears they are wanting this person wearing the gold ring to "sit thou here in a good place" 

  ..........not only is there no mention here of the gold ring being bad 

.............the christians in this verse were plenty ok with a guy wearing a gold ring..........and james doesn't even seem to be bothered by said gold ring

 ----------- what he's bothered with here is that they were giving preference to someone that looked wealthy. 

  My husband says I won't be able to convinced the apostolic christian church of america............but it can't hurt to try can it???????????????

  I'm like a detective with the bible, I like to look around, don't just look at one verse and say "aha god hates........................................................." see what the rest the bible says "all the counsel of god" Acts 20:27 "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
  I've been listening to bethel music a lot today, the new album "We will not be Shaken".................

Have a great week earth! 

LOVE

Update sheri 10/18/2023 battled "extreme asthma" (found out if your asthmatic the closer you get to menopause YOUR ASTHMA CAN GET WORSE THEN). Well then I found out that gold takes down inflammation. Wearing gold has got me not even using my inhaler for going on 3 days now!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.jewelrythis.com/blog/your-jewelry-has-health-benefits/#:~:text=Gold%20also%20has%20anti%2Dinflammatory,bursitis%2C%20rheumatism%2C%20and%20tendinitis.

This blog post was more me trying to make the Apostolic christian church of america like me,  I am now in my "permanent villian era" and do not care WHAT ANYBODY THINKS ABOUT ME. 

it's only what god thinks about me that is important anyways

(it takes a small heap of gold on me 24/7 to breath well - this is "extreme asthma" I am sending into remission)

(you can see in this picture how de-inflamationeded my leg and my hand is ------------ it's not just me on the keto diet IT'S THE GOLD TO TAKING DOWN THE INFLAMMATION extreme asthma is scary and I just couldn't handle it anymore - asthma I found out on the internet kills 10 people a day and that's just in the USA)

(my mom says "let it go" I am letting it go but this issue needs to be addressed, people need to know DON'T WEAR GOLD.......my mom tells me what I should blog about is end times stuffs that that is what people want to hear about..................) Dressing modesty isn't a "commandment of men" cause that is in the bible 1 Timothy 2:9  "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;" That is in the bible don't wear expensive clothing, broided hair, gold, pearls, and modest apparel...........in the bible so not under the "commandment of men" label.
I count the no wear a wedding ring thing of the apostolic christian church of america as a commandment of men, all there is in the bible is a verse that says don't wear gold, well there are many rings that aren't gold. It says "gold" 1 Peter 3:3 "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing ofgold, or of putting on of apparel;" If like paul meant other metals wouldn't he mention them, surely back then there was other metals in existance that were fashioned into rings.........like brass (I am not a history buff by a landslide but I'm sure there were brass rings) HE SAID GOLD............gold being the metal most attached to a high society status........to the "pride of life" 1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

  Brass on the other hand, or copper........or nickel, or steel......................you wear a ring of any these metals a simple "finger ring" http://www.apostolic-ministries.net/wedding_ring.htm
This site is even better at defending the wedding ring and proving that it isn't a "evil item" such as the apsotolic christian church of america believe's it to be http://www.actseighteen.com/articles/jewelry-bible.htm

  There is no "pride of life" associated with that.................those metals are looked upon by the world as metals for the "poor" (in a ring format I deem they are) for the most part there may be some expensive steel rings out there you could find. I'm saying for the most part. When people go to the jewelers, they buy gold, white gold, or yellow gold...............for the most part, I do not believe people go to jewelers and go look at steel rings. Gold at any rate is the METAL TO HAVE ON YOUR FINGER IN THE WORLDS EYE'S or platinum which I do believe has gold in it. 

  If all metals were bad, would not then of paul of listed a whole list in 1 Peter 3:3..........but he didn't he mentioned gold that's all he mentioned. Am I wrong, am I like some apostolic christians have mentioned on my blog in need of mental counseling cause only the crazy would think according to them that it is ok to wear a simply "finger ring"????????????? SOS WORLD HELP, ALL PAUL MENTIONED WAS GOLD!
 Lastly Romans 14:20-21 "For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak." A simple wedding band of none gold material, of cheapo stainless steel, should not make a weak brother stumble ----------- if everyone around you is wearing cheap rings and you are weak (you aren't going to be tempted seeing these cheap rings to go buy some wordly diamond encrusted piece of ridiculousness - YOU WON'T BE...............I am weak, so I think I can speak about being weak and what would maybe cause a weak brother or sister to stumble...................................now -------------- meat that was offered to a idol................to a weak brother or sister that would be a issue, as would be drinking wine in front of them)

Subject: Re: [Apostolic-Christian] God's Perfect Voice

Very nice poem! Poems are very good..........Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." I'm pretty sure that poems are real close to "psalms" like the same idea, 100% that they count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  (most the apostolic christian church of america doesn't appear to be speaking with themselves online anymore) But I estimate per Colossians 3:16 we are supposed to be doin all that buisiness................"in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.............." That implies a "dialogue" actively going on with church members in my estimation. 

  But even if there is just a handful of people on this site anymore, I have no idea how many there is, and few giving poems of spiritual value like that - that is good!!!!!!!!! Me.............I do play the piano now on blog posts, which is "hymns"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't do that though on this e-mail group format that I know of - I'm not that tech savy..................
