I have been in a whirlwind of busyness lately. Julia and I moved to Nashville, TN. It has been sort of a culture shock for us. People here in the "Belt Buckle of the Bible Belt" are so affected by the christian culture, saved or unsaved. Everyone seems to have a sort of scoffing attitude about the christianty that exists here (even christians have this attitude). There seems to be so much false doctrine and manipulation of people by the "church" here that I can start to understand why people are so hard against anything to do with Jesus. O that God would rend the hypocrites from the true children!
A few days ago, I made a scripture list. It is the story of conversion laid out like sharing a tetimony. The progression goes: GOD, MAN, CONVERSION, PRAISE. May God bless you with all peace in believing today!
"Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul." Ps 66:16
"For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast." Ps 33:4-9

"The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory." Ps 97:1-6
"Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?" Ps 76:7

Joshua,
Janice and I were both very blessed reading these scriptures through today. Thank you for giving them to me in hard copy. I am going to copy and paste some of your other teachings here to read. As I was saying on Friday, we are really struggling with keeping His Word central in our struggles. Thank you for the reminder that His Word is strong and able to take us through any challenge. We are blessed by your coming and thank Him for you as often as He brings you to mind.
His peace to you now.
