For the past--a review of the Seattle Gathering: Maylan Schurch has written an extended review of the recent Gathering in Seattle. To read it, go to: http://atoday.org/15920.html I find interesting her comparison of the Gathering with the camp-meetings of our historic past. I also find her closing comment, in the written review, copied below, to be interesting:

As someone who has lost 2 grandparents and one parent to Alzheimer's (and as someone who likely has the inherited genes associated with early-onset Alzheimer's), I can attest that much of what they will say or do MAY or MAY NOT be related at all to the things they have done/said in the past. It is impossible to say what words, feelings and behaviors will result from losing one's cognitive abilities. To assume otherwise is ludicrous.

DAVID EDGREN the devil hates GODS SABBATH----the devil hates the marriage or family unit that is why GOD gave us the 10 commandments to honor all 10 though GOD SABBATH and marriage family unit dgrimm60

So, I guess, one implication of this would be 'be careful what you put in, because it stays there'.

Something was wrong with Miriam Hymelfarb. She just wasn’t herself lately so her husband Moishe decided she should go to the doctor. After a long appointment Miriam came out. "Moishe, the doctor has advised me that I’m stressed and that I should take a one-month vacation to some place tranquil like the Caribbean or the South of France. Where shall we go?" Moishe thought about it for a second and said, “To another doctor!"

Read More Daily Jesus Scripture: Revelation 1:3 Starting Question: What are some signs that show you Jesus is coming soon? Noah's Day God has a plan for each of our lives that allows us to be both blessed and a blessing to others. “‘I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope'” (Jeremiah 29:11*). This is God's plan for each of us—a future and a hope. But the decision is ours. Will we seek His wisdom and leadership in our lives? Will we follow His guidance? If we do, the result will be a life He has planned— for good and not for disaster. Noah is one of the Bible's best examples of this promise in action. Just a few generations after Adam and Eve rejected God's plan for their life, their descendants had made them look like saints. “The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil” (Genesis 6:5). The world had rejected God so completely that there was only one man left—only one who still had faith in God and followed His leading. That man was Noah. God was heartbroken. He had created the human race to be His companions; and yet they chose to abandon the guidance and care of their Maker, relying instead on themselves. This kind of thinking led the world in a downward spiral of corruption, depravity and violence— as selfishness always does. This could not continue. The mess needed cleaning up and God wanted to provide salvation for those who desired it. Because Noah was willing to listen and follow, God told him His plan and gave him an important role to play. God explained He was going to use a flood to cleanse the earth—the whole planet would be submerged. God then gave Noah instructions for building the life-saving vessel. It would be built to house as many as would come—humans and animals. Anything that needed air to live would need to enter the ark. And God, knowing the end from the beginning, knew exactly how big it would need to be. Noah, and his family, began to gather the supplies and build the huge boat. People came to see what he was doing. They pointed, laughed and shouted derisive comments. But Noah and his family hammered and sawed faithfully until the job was finished—120 years of hard labour! Noah was also given another task by God to carry out during the ark-building project. He was to warn people that there was a flood coming—the earth would be cleansed of evil. “Noah warned the world of God's righteous judgment” (2 Peter 2:5). It was made very clear: all those wishing to be saved must enter the ark. For 120 years, Noah issued this invitation— and the people mocked him all-the-more for his apocalyptic message. “There's not going to be a flood,” the people convinced themselves. “He's just a crazy old man. And his family is just too scared to tell him what they really think!” Aside from preaching and building, God gave Noah another command—a command that must have perplexed Noah during the 120 years. ** Continued in Seven Days tomorrow ** Reflection Question: Which would have been harder for you - building a boat or preaching the daily sermon?

DAVID EDGREN this is was CHRIST followers also must do dgrimm60

God helps those who help themselves. When God closes a door He opens a window. Money is the root of all evil

Have you ever had a friend express excitement about something and tell you to check it out? Maybe they just had an appetizing meal at a restaurant or went to a great concert. They may have raved on and on... View the rest of this great article

Praise the Lord!!

I have heard a Neurologist say something very similar. Perhaps all that will come unpackaged and we will have full access in the future... am good with that.

Update #6Pastor Jack will be coming home from the rehab facility on Sunday, 28 February 2016. He’s looking forward to some home cooking! Thank you for all your prayers. Blessings, Jean Sequeira [Posted 26 February 2016]

FEMSTER thank you for up date----i am still praying for you dgrimm60

The Bible talks about people having ears and hearing not or having itching ears and even being deaf. The deaf are the lucky ones. They are not responsible for what they cannot hear. It is those who stop their ears or yield to their itchy ears that are going to be in the most danger. I know more about the down side of a gay lifestyle than most: Before I retired my boss asked me if I would care for a young man dying of HIV aides The girls on the team felt uncomfortable going to his house. He stayed with the owner of an escort service and the guys there had been known to hang out in drag So I made my routine visits. Managed his meds. Kept him comfortable. Became a friend. And watched him go from a strapping young man to a walking skeleton. We talked, we laughed, he died (and so young). And now that medication can keep infected folks going (like they were not even sick), some folks think that there is a disconnect between the lifestyle (sin) and the consequences (wages). The wages of sin is not limited to sexual sins. God does not give a 10% discount on His ten Commandments. I've heard Danny talk about folks that try to take a 10% discount by switching Sabbath for another day. Then I was amazed to see him overcome with jealousy and divorce his wife without reconciling. I was amazed that he could fault folks for taking a 10% discount on the Sabbath Commandment and then take a discount on the seventh Commandment. Our perception is not always in focus when our pet sin is the one under discussion. Truly Laodiceans need eye salve (Holy Spirit discernment) And gumption, to hold fast to the truth come what may. I've preached to the "quior" long enough. The Holy Spirit will seal His folks And the beast will seal his folks (notice that the beast in Rev 17/18 is in trouble because of her fornications. Pope Benedict resigned in part because of the fornications: male priests copulating with boys And it was not the church that put forth the loud cry: it was the MEDIA that announced the fall of Babylon! And the Apostate Protestant churches that cling to the beast cling to her fornications The June after Pope Benedict retired, Protestant America's Supreme Court made gay marriage the law of the land which in turn led to the jailing of a Christian woman who objected to changing the law of the land after she had accepted a position with the understanding that she would uphold the law of the land. No problem when the laws of the land agreed with God's laws, Big problem when the laws of the land were changed so much that they trampled God's laws in the dust But if folks will not hear that which they will not to hear, will they hear the word of God? Will the word of God not get explained away?! Those who have their stakes set fast will not be moved. So there is no need for me to cast any more pearls along this pathway And God's people said AMEN!

As long as that can be manipulated it is not murder apparently. My son was born not breathing so at that point he was not human I guess. The Dr's almost superhuman effort and my desire for him to live made him a human being? At the same stage of his development many babies have been aborted. Prevented from taking that first breath by the Dr and the manner of abortion.

Thomas, You keep on blowing my mind with the thoroughness of your research and the logical eloquence with which you present it. God Bless you for your consistency and level-headedness. Honestly, I'm not a good typist; and I'm too lazy to write a post that long; but I agree with and support what you have stated above, brother!

If one is to have an online conversation with more than one person, readers need to know to which comment you are responding. The easiest way is to quote a segment. Granted, quoting can be way overdone, especially by some who like to pick apart a paragraph, but in the long run it is useful and lessens the "What is he talking about?" puzzle. Just MHO, LynnDel
