To Co-laborers I've Never Met...


In the Bible, there's a recalling of Simon Peter's response to a question poised by Jesus. Several disciples had decided not to follow Jesus, and turning back, "...walked no more with him..."
Jesus asked, "Will ye also go away" .....to which the Bible records Simon Peter's reply, ..."Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."

Scripture states that once we become a Christian, we're a new creature, ( 2 Corinthians 5:17). In Colossians 3:10 we see another attribute to the new creature,..."which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:..."

Here's yet another pearl in the fields of Scripture; this admonishment lies in Colossians 2:8,..."Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

This blog may cover varying topics, with all of them overlapping more or less, but the thread of continuity is the 'God's Word' foundation I try to place them all upon. Many commentators, pundits, and word warriors offer up a profundity of opinions, and I do too, but without God's wisdom it's all worth the same; an opinion and $2.00 MIGHT get you a cup of coffee !!! What the world needs is absolute truth, not formulated opinions based upon which way the winds a blowin' today !!!

One movie I've placed upon my 'must see list for Christians' is 'Timechanger.' It's an endeavor that portrays a staunch Christian transported from the 1800's into a contemporary Christian setting. The underlying premise that the movie rests upon is this; any instruction is worthless if not rooted in Scripture! If you haven't viewed it, put it on your list of things to do.

I do hope the meanderings & musings I've, with God's grace, been posting, have become fodder for chewing upon, and that the Scripture has illuminated the wording, giving it strength;....and strengthened each reader in some manner. As we all face life with it's overflowing complexities, we must always remember that all those formidable giants are quite readily handled, ( or avoided ) by the simplistic words from God.

I'll leave this posting with,...1 Corinthians 3:19,...For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God..."
