For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

“As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear* Him;”
* From DSC:
I’ve heard others refer to the word fear here as
respect…or to hold in awe/reverence… or to obey
Further down that Psalm:
7 But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

Matthew 7:13-14 — from Bible Gateway’s Verse of the Day
“[The Narrow and Wide Gates] “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

1 Chronicles 29:11 (NIV) — from BibleGateway.com
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
Proverbs 15:1
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Revelation 21: 2-4 — from BibleGateway.com
“I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.””
From DSC:
(Regarding the recent end of the world prediction, scripture never mentions a specific day. Instead, Christ states that only the Father knows when that time will be.)
(Regarding the recent end of the world prediction, scripture never mentions a specific day. Instead, Christ states that only the Father knows when that time will be.)
Anyway, my dad sings a song that’s a beautiful song…in it, one of the parts that I always enjoyed listening to were the lines that said:
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
LORD knows we have enough pain these days. The older I get, the more I believe that living in this world is tough — no matter who you are or what your circumstances may be. I look forward to the new Jerusalem — thanks be to God for His mercy and for paying the debt that I never could have paid!
…so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
