Strong Man

Jeremiah 9:23-24.

This is what the LORD says:
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,

but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD.

Psalm 1:4-6

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

These provocative words sent in by Jill W.
Psalm 115: 2-7

Why do the nations say,
"Where is their God?"
Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
But their idols are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but they cannot smell;
they have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but they cannot walk;
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

Unquenchable

1 Thessalonians 5:19
Do not put out the Spirit's fire;

Well dressed

Due to the decidedly underwhelming response to the 'Images of scripure' gallery request, I have had to seek out images myself. I have once again turned to my good mate scotty m.



Matthew 6:28-30.
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."

Images of scripture

I wondered whether, in the style of my previous post 'Light', other bloggers out there might have photos they have taken which help to add colour and texture to certain bible verses/passages.

If you do, I'd love to build up a 'gallery' of sorts as part of this blog. Could you email me the photo with your attached scripture to phil_and_al@yahoo.com.au (I'm aware that for some of you this will involve sadly involve scanning film based prints!).

I look forward to where this goes.

Light

This is a picture taken by my mate scott. I liked it so much, I thought I'd feature it (permission pending). The attached verse is from me.


John 1:4-5.

The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
