Zeta Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Good A party of engineers became lost in a forest in Africa. Their supply of food was exhausted. They found some berrie which seemed to perfectly satisfy their appetite. They ate them for several days, but became weaker and weaker, and one after another died, until, when help came, there was only one left to tell the sad story. They still had some of the berries, but when they were analyzed they were found be to absolutely worthless as a food. While their appetites were satisfied they were actually starving to death. Many people are like that-perfectly satisfied to starve their nature on food which is of no value, while they might feast on the 'true bread from Heaven. *Miller* Quote Be Blessed.

Zeta Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Dare Greatly It is not the critics who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumble, or where the doer of deeds could have been done better. The credits belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and come short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end of the triumph of high acheivement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. *Theodore Roosevelt* Quote Be Blessed.

Zeta Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 The Greatest Man The greatest man is he who choose the right with invincible resolution; who resists the the sorest temptations from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menace and frowns; and who reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God, is most unfaltering. *Channing* Quote Be Blessed.

Members phkrause Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 Interesting saying Zeta. pk Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 "The empire of Caesar is gone; the legions of Rome are mouldering in the dust; the avalanches Napoleon hurled upon Europe have melted away; the pride of the Pharaohs is fallen; the pyramids they raised to be their tombs are sinking every day in the desert sands; Tyre is a rock for fishermen's nets; Sidon has scarcely a rock left behind; but the Word of God survives. All things that threatened to extinguish it have aided it, and it proves every day how transient is the noblest monument that man can build, how enduring the least word God has spoken. Tradition has dug a grave for it; intolerance has lighted for it many a fagot; many a Judas has betrayed it with a kiss; many a Peter has denied it with an oath; many a Demas has forsaken it; but the Word of God still endures."

Zeta Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 A FUNDAMENTAL LAW We are too hasty to believe every evil report. Many an innocent person has been injured by a tale that was without foundation. It is a serious matter to do an injustice to a fellow man by a report that we spread. The first thing, the least thing that one can do before he passes on a story that has come to him, is to stop long enough to ask if it is true. One of the ten fundamental laws of character is, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor". Quote Be Blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks, dgrimms60. I see so much of individuals defining themselves as christian however, they spend so much of their time defaming the integrity and character of others without merit. I guess, they do this because they have such low opinion of themselves, that by finding fault in others.....they think it make them feel superior or knowledgeable. Unfortunately, it only make them seem like opinionated individuals with no substance. Quote Be Blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Giving thanks unto the Father, who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col 1:12,13 Our future eternal happiness depends upon having our humanity, with all its capabilities and powers, brought into obedience to God and placed under the control of Divinity. Many have no faith in Jesus Christ. They say, "It was easy for Christ to obey the will of His Father, for He was divine." But His Word declares He was "in all points tempted like as we are" (Hebrews 4:15). He was tempted according to and in proportion to His elevation of mind, but He would not weaken or cripple His divine power by yielding to temptation. In His life on earth Christ was a representative of what humanity may be through the privileges and opportunities granted them in Him. . . . When Satan tempted our first parents . . . he tried to flatter them into believing that they should be raised above the sphere of humanity. But Christ, by the example He has set before us, encourages the members of the human family to be men, obeying the Word of God within the sphere of their humanity. He Himself became a man--not a bondslave to Satan to work out his attributes, but a man in moral power, obedient to the law of God, which is a transcript of His character. Those who would rebel against subjection to a wise and good law emanating from God are slaves to an apostate power. Jesus became a man that He might mediate between man and God, . . . that He might restore to man the original mind which he lost in Eden through Satan's alluring temptation. . . . Disobedience is not in accordance with the nature which God gave to man in Eden. Through the moral power Christ has brought to man, we may give thanks unto God who hath made us meet for the inheritance with the saints in light. Through Jesus Christ every man may overcome in his own behalf and on his own account, standing in his own individuality of character. {TMK 291} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'mmmm Backkkkkk. (smile) WASTED OPPORTUNITY Ruskin once said that when we fail to praise a man who deserves praise, two sad things happens; we run a chance of driving him from the right road for want of encouragement, and we deprive ourselves of one of the very happiest of our privileges, the privilege of rewarding labor that deserves a reward.
