Ha ha .. you're testing me out ???

I probably should tell you .. I was an grade A student at Sunday School lol .. and I almost became a missionary (went to Uni instead)lol Tongue

Now .. let me try and remember lol Tongue

In the beginning ---> in the beginning of time ie some time frame VERY early on.

The Bible doesnt specify in years exactly when this was ..however, the Bible does tell us that GOD made the earth at this early time interval BEFORE he made the world (ie the "stuff" inside the earth).

And I should probably tell you, I have had little earthly training.

"..... In the beginning ........" may have been when God started that thing we call 'time'.

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, "As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.
"But not during the Feast," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people."
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."

Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."


Matthew 26:1-13

for you Vanessa

Quote:
who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.


2 Timothy 1: 9,10

God speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds.

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Luke 6:27, 28

I like these 2 verses because they present a confronting daily challenge for me.

I have a tendency to love my friends, to do good to those who've been good to me and to bless those who've been kind to me. Oh and I seem to pray for those I'm close to.

Hmmm ..

Proverbs 31:10-31

The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
      She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
      and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
      all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
      and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
      bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
      she provides food for her family
      and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
      out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
      her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
      and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
      and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
      and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
      for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
      she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
      where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
      and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
      she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
      and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
      and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
      her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,
      but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
      but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,
      and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Yes! That is indeed a good verse Deborah!

Here's another I quite like ...


For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

- 2 Timothy 1:7

Quote:
Matthew 7:21-23
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'

23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'



I would quirry 23. Perhaps it would be more correct to say you never knew god.

love her, and she will watch over you.
