Christians are loving each other out there - it's happening I experience it every week!..............

Sheri 3/29/2024 isn't fairing as well as sheri 2017 was. But God told me when I was a baby in my mom's womb - He told me, things would get real bad for me, but then Lucifer would come to the earth and then God told me, go with Lucifer and then things will be good for me. I BELIEVE AND TRUST GOD AND KNOW HE'S TELLING ME THE CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My skeleton cat says hi..................

(this is the 1st in my latest series, pencil and colored pencil on wood, of giant antique forks : ) 

Christians are loving each other out there - it's happening I experience it every week! I due to my old church "the apostolic christian church of america" I got obsessed with this verse, cause they talked about it a lot............John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." I think a lot of the body of christ is a touch obsessed with John 13:35. (it is important that people see that, see love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
  But I think there might be a "idea" of much gooey lot's of gush that =='s John 13:35 in people's minds out there and the bar might not actually be that high.
In my 20+ years on this earth I've learned something about love......................mercy is often involed!!!!!!!!
  Maybe real love isn't that we don't have disagreements or difficulties somedays (maybe -------- sermons we don't like that much for instance).
  Love - is that we don't give up on each other!!!!!!!!!!! That we hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love hopeth all things the bible says....................................
1 Corinthians 13:7 "Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." I still hope that the apostolic christian church of america will get rid of their "commandments of men" I really do (they ain't good for them, and most everyone knows those are commandments of men it's blaitant - wedding rings banned, bangs banned, mustache's and beards banned..............pretty blaitant commandments of men there.................I can't imagine a church actually holding onto something that bad for like good --------- I have hope for them I'm saying, that they get rid of those commandments of men...........not hold onto them to make some guys in the 1800's look good -------- those men in the 1800's were wrong about those there commandments of men THEY BAD) I ain't saying those men are in hell..................no..................

1 Corinthians 4:5 "Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."

  That is god's job to decide if those men that lead the apostolic christian church of america in the 1800's-1900's long ago, were all like maniacle and evil and diabolical etc. when they made "commandments of men" for their church --------------- it could be they had a good heart a clean heart in that.............................Made "commandments of men" for their church in ignorance, not knowing the word of god well enough!!!!!!!!!!!

Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." ---------------------- destroyed not necessarily meaning lead to hell.............but could be just lead down a bad path.
 Proverbs 3:5-7 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil." God's direction for our paths is bestest.

  Back to my idea though : ) Love is having forgiveness towards one another I'm sure of it.............love doesn't give up, it's not giving up on one another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Corinthians 13:7
"Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

    Is love that I am perfect yet????????????

Or your perfect yet?????????????????? 

Do you love me or I love you only when your perfect, no cause that isn't how jesus loved us.......................................when we were yet sinners.......................(it's easter feeling pentecostal fire in my bones).................Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." that's love, that's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  don't give up hope for one another

believe

believe in the power of the word of god 

THE POWER OF PRAYER!

Those that endure unto the end the same shall be saved......................SHALL!

Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

  If we didn't love one another, what would we be saying in that??????????? That the word of god is of no effect ---------------------- the horror that'd be!!!!!!!!! Surely there is reason to love one another with a pure heart fervently as the bible says 1 Peter 1:22 "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:"

Happy Easter!

LOVE

Mrs. Roa's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose...............

The bible verse impacting me the most lately is the one concerning god not being "mocked".......He watches, knows if we are walking in the spirit or the flesh and He wont be mocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................

Update 3/27/2024 my mom sent pics I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY BRAINS. I don't know if she wants anybody to see the state of her and my dad's latest "house flip" so I crop the photo, THIS IS THE ACTUAL PHOTO....................i am unable to "unsee" this..................................she says she has hope for this house...............................

  It's worse then you think though, I CROPPED THIS PICTURE!!!!!!!!!! And this is the currentl plumbing situation for a house right with 2 rental units above it (my parents are fixing up a house with 2 rental units above it)...................the original pic is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad...................like bad bad..........................

it'll probably take me a few days to recover from this picture

(the latest in my fork colored pencil/pencil series on wood)

The bible verse impacting me the most lately is the one concerning god not being "mocked".......He watches, knows if we are walking in the spirit or the flesh and He wont be mocked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to say we can't buy stuffs we can buy stuffs, just don't make the flesh the priority, god's watching everyday! Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

 Somedays I want to preach bad (I know I am a girl and not supposed to preach so I don't) below are two e-mails (slightly edited for my blog) both I sent to the elder and wife of the apostolic christian church of america and my great aunt who is also apostolic christian church of americanian, in the event people wonder well what do I e-mail these people. (also e-mail them talking about various difficulties, prayer requests)..............
People they think it's so ok to walk in the flesh

they ain't walking in the spirit out there!

so many ain't

so many are sitting around watching their tv sets after they get off of work.

----------- their bibles might be cracked open for a few minutes -------------- WHICH IS A HECK OF A LOT BETTER THEN NOT EVEN DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but cracked open for a few minutes in the evening............almost like a after thought

here god

here's my 10 minutes for the day your welcome

god is a jealous god!

Exodus 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"
Deuteronomy 4:24 "For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God."

  I barely can maintain somedays no rolling out in the most epic sermon anybody ever witnessed in their lives. 

because people need to wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Nobody wins at sin, sooner or later for anybody it would lead them to this point if left out of "check".......................Revelation 9:6 "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."

  If you live in a world were nobody loves anyone, cause everyone is all living for themselves loving themselves, not loving each other.........2 Timothy 3:2 "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," Of course you'd want to kill yourself in that world, you wouldn't want to live in that world nobody would, but that is were this world is heading!

WATCH FROM 26 MINUTES IN..........

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFAmJ8qeo00

On this here blog, I would like to also discuss my whole marilyn look a bit more...................I suffer at times from depression and the blonde hair really does cheer me up.
I know I need to not "believe" in that
in glam
it's make believe marilyn said she's right
to not worship or exalt in anyways something that is make believe
but like to exalt and worship what is really fantastic - god!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." It's good to be of good cheer, even if you think..........oh snap.........oh snap.

  Keep reading god's word be in that..............the bible does promise sooner or later you will reap what you sew and that means if you be's most the day sewing into the spirit you and I we are going to reap that, reap good things! 

Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

I have much need to be of "good cheer" 

pry many of us do (I'm sayin many of us are going through "a time" Acts 14:22)

LOVE

PS............today I started putting vaseline on my face (just a touch) My skin is looking a bit better. There might be something to this vaseline stuffs. Especially these days with all the pollution in the air, it could maybe really protect ones skin from all kinds of damage. And ya I know I don't look like marilyn 100% in above photo..........somedays I freak myself out with 0 makeup on looking so much like her. Other days if I but draw a eyebrow hair in wrong it's all over : ) hahahahahahahahah

1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."

------------- we all get exhausted I think 

I get exhausted

don't I look tired in the above photo???????????

if I don't ----------- the miracle of vaseline for reals : ) hahahahahahahahhahahah

who knew

who knew I'd ever put vaseline on my face ---------- not me

Mrs. Croce's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..............

I agree with paul whether I'm abased or abound I give thanks to the lord...........I am glad!!!!!!!!.................

Upadte 3/25/2024 I'm still collecting silverware, and likely about to do more silverware art 😁👍

(the latest in my colored pencil/pencil fork series of art : )

I agree with paul whether I'm abased or abound I give thanks to the lord...........I am glad!!!!!!!!.................
Philippians 4:11-13 "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

  Also on my thoughts is this group of verses lately Ephesians 5:19-21 "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God."

   I been told by the pastor of the church that I'm going to (in a sermon he preached) that apostles don't exist per the bible no more....................so I may not even exist no more basically in like people's mind if I ever did exist?????????? (I feel invisible often!!!!!!!!!!!!) this blog helps me not feel invisible, I need this blog, it's horrible to feel invisible. 

    It's the people who very little are given (aka titles, rank, etc.) that not much are expected from. 

  If you give me the rank of 0 earth..........then you expect 0 from me, and as thus your about to be real pleased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

  All you big time christians out there that are above us earth scriges with all your big timedness a lot is expected of you!!!!!!!!! (even in god's mind I'm saying a lot is expected of you, but not only god's mind, other people's minds as well) I think we should judge one another much less though, and have much more mercy with one another.....................cause we are in a great war against the lusts of our flesh. It is not easy this battle. 

  I'm also immensely praising god and thankful that I'm not that popular!!!!!!!!!! (somedays I hate it, I sit there and compare and compare myself to others on instagram and you tubes etc................THANK GOD I'M NOT POPULAR!!!!!!!!!!)

Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." HAPPY DANCE TIME FOR REALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I'm so hated that aunt connie, and the elder and his wife of the apostolic christian church of america like never reply to my e-mails, man they must loathe me at least a little ------------ I at the very least have much hope that they loathe me!!!!

LOATHE ME PLEASE YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Happy joy dance time for reals (I pray for them all the time, or pretty often that they give their lives to jesus if they haven't yet). 

  But being liked, like a lot, is like a horrible thing to happen to a person it's terrible I'm sure of it!

 Of course though I'm like paul, if I were to "abound" again, doesn't look like it, looks like I'm batting a solid earth scirge 1 billion right now : ) hahahahahahahha yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! But if I were to "abound" again..............I'd give praise to god, yep, I'd be content!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause everything is for a reason when you living for jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Adding a picture of my alligator in the bird feeder in my front yard that I got at the dollar store.................when your a earth scirge (or a big time character you can do stuffs like this...................................yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

ps my birdfeeder front yard alligator is a lion alligator - for jesus!

It's so much better to give thanks for everything, that is the greatest thing besides salvation jesus gave me. So many people in this world are so unhappy (ya, some them going through bad stuffs and surely when you going through a time you don't have to be like sunshine and happy mr. rogers neighborhood theme singing). 

  Even when I'm down I'm up following jesus!

  Paul he said he has suffered the loss of all things to win christ...............................your own status in the world it is something to suffer the loss of..............and keep like not getting that : ) 

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,"

 I've learned to like not shoot to win with the world..........if or when I get some kind of win, lord willing that's great, but shoot to win jesus the real prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE REAL PRIZE ISN'T THIS WORLD!

Have a great week earth!

LOVE

Fellow USA citizens, Mexico is our neighbors we need to love them........their problem should be our concern as well..............(in the year 2024 just insert haiti or cuba etc. into this title).........................

Update 3/21/2024 sheri back in 2017 didn't donate so often, she mostly talk. Most people hate "talk" but good deeds start out with in my experience talk or a prayer to god!!!!!!!!!!!!! Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" - Nobody in haiti is my enemies that I know of, but I'm just letting you know how things have worked for me..................I'll start talking good about my enemies, praying good for my enemies it's starts out pretty well ALWAYS for me as just words...........and then becomes more then that...................

a step towards loving people is a step towards loving people - words matter

I looked up good haiti charities to support this one was recommended.........

Mark 12:30-31

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

let's have some good amor musica....................for this here blog post.................................

I been peloton biking each day lately 😁

God's Store.....

Update 3/19/2024 went to addidas cause we were at my husbands work's parking lot - cause he knows there's free parking there. And we had time to stall - while waiting to pic of son from hanging out with friends after class..............so we went to the addidas store. I have been for days wanting a addidas jacket because I love love love love "Overcompensate" by 21 pilots 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

in a race ALL RUN

well run to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RUN TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain."

 My idea on running to obtain..................

being in god's word everyday

going to church (I'm on a touch of a church break but plotting to return)

serving god - in whatever way you can find to serve god (volunteering at foodbank, visiting sick people there's hospital volunteer um positions out there that one could serve god a lot, knit baby booties, etc. etc. etc., volunteer at your church volunteering at your church is a great opportunity to serve god)

paul didn't say ------------------- I try and live my life everyday ---------------- he said I DIE DAILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Corinthians 15:31 "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."

(when I think of god I think of the clouds in the sky, because He's up there - and because in the bible in the old testiment times he followed my ancestors in a cloud Exodus 14:19 "And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:")

I was told by my bosses that the owner of the store I work at, is primarily god........well then I got thinking, well what place of buisiness isn't god's in some way?
 In a way god makes everything His buisiness don't He????????????? 2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars." God searches His eye's "run to and fro throughout the whole earth" He looks all over the place...........
to me
to you
"to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him."
Psalm 68:32-25 "Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God."

 AMEN!

         I sat there yesterday at my works "office meeting" moment they said the store is ultimately god's store, for reals I felt like I was at church for a second (you know that feeling when you like "oh god's right here watching me"). But He's always watching us.........but catch it, He doesn't desire to punish us for being "bad" though he will do that if need be!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Revelation 3:19 "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."

  God really desires that our hearts be perfect towards Him, so that he could "shew himself strong" for us I believe. He wants to help! 

  But anyways for all the rest of the buisinesses on this planet, I'm pretty sure god is the real boss of your buisiness Exodus 19:4-5 "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:"

  "for all the earth is mine" -------------------- you think you own your buisiness, epp nope god does I'm sure of it!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure of it apple computers!!!!!!!!!!! Ya you've made a lot of money apple computers, that must be fab : ) 

  I'm sure of this. So though my store might be more then the "normal" employee's experience "god's store" cause for reals I felt god's presence yesterday.......................I was like ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is god store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is fine! That's the store to work at God's store!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  In reality we are all I believe working at "god's store" --------- be faithful that's my advice! Matthew 25:23 "His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

(my current series of bird paintings on velvet - it looks better in real life, I took this photo with a flash which wasn't a good idea!)

Have a great week!

FACT: You have a flesh it is waging a war against your spirit. IT'S IN THE BIBLE PEOPLE! Everybody be's acting like we ain't in no war -------- WE IN A WAR......................

(I'm painting bob ross pieces nowdays this is my interpretation of "Evening at Sunset" season 13 Episode 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqTyy5lRBms)

FACT: You have a flesh it is waging a war against your spirit. IT'S IN THE BIBLE PEOPLE! Everybody be's acting like we ain't in no war -------- WE IN A WAR......................
people be's all walking around calm like
you have a flesh it isn't fully your friend!
(husband and wife schenangians is plenty good) But other then that right...........your flesh not your friend.
 Hey I knoooooooooooooooooooooow ok.....................you purchase some good mac makeup. I haven't done such a thing don't look at me (I buy the cheap makeup 0 : ) hahahahah bad joke my bad...........................I'm saying you purchase some good mac makeup, your flesh might very well feel like it's your friend IT AIN'T!
  Only verse that fits what I want to say right now is this one 1 Peter 2:11 "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;"
 Romans 8:13 "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."
 I think my whole life people have thought I have walked after the flesh (look you still buy things, recently I bought a new wedding rings set - actually 2 because the 1st one I bought ------ talking $3 dollar cheap sets from china people ---------- 1st one had like big prongs on it and I wasn't thinking about it looking at the picture and they are rubbing against my fingers and not so comfy) 2 Corinthians 10:2-3 "But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:"

   Fact if your a bodybuilder, probably your either going to have to have your wedding rings polished professionaly or go on ebay like I do. (I try and buy american, most the time I do) We always all will need stuffs. 

  I gonna break down here 2 Corinthians 10:2-3 see "though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh" because they are in the word of god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The word of god is MIGHTY! aka next verse.............

2 Corinthians 10:4 "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)"

   But that flesh right it never leaves I don't think long as we are on this earth. It's there maybe dormant...............there.............................................so is the mac makeup (I don't have any mac makeup just whatever reasons it's my example for today) looking so nice.....................

so nice....................ok I don't have mac makeup improvising here with a photo..................

(my husband got me the above for christmas he isn't clever price tag right on the thing, less then $5 ------- which is fine I need lip gloss facts lips get chapped!)

I add a pic for effect................................cause it looks like I walk after the flesh it really does, but the truth is. I make a point every day to read my bible, or watch christian tv, to pray a lot, usually 2 times a day at least.

  It's definately not about how you look (aka Corinthians 10:2-3) it's about how you live...........the bible is mighty to pull down strongholds it truely is. We don't have to "war after the flesh" no more............but it's good to be mindful I believe that the flesh exists.........it's there. It's real!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus christ our lord himself.................Hebrews 4:15 "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

(backstory on this photo, I'm a marilyn monroe look alike.......and a artist with a Bachelors of Science in art from Western Oregon University ---------------- I like the 50's...........obsessed probably..............the wholesomeness of that time frame, even if it was imaginary - well then the imaginary wholesomeness of that time frame) 

Hope you all have a great week!

LOVE

1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."......................................................

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."........

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
