Here And Now, Not Sweet By And By

http://lurasbookcase.com/here-and-now-not-sweet-by-and-by.shtml

Here And Now, Not Sweet By And By. I Peter 5:10- But may the God of all grace, who called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. God says "after you suffer a while". Ouch! Means He expects us to "suffer". Yes, I know. We do suffer. Financial problems especially right now, marital problems, children, parents, job, car, you name it. We've got problems. We suffer. Most people read that and go "yeah and? God is establishing or ...

My First Love

http://lurasbookcase.com/firstlove.shtml

Jul 22, 2004. Do you remember when you first fell in love? If you are a born again Christian, do you remember when you first asked Jesus into your life? We can get fed in the Word of God that way. How could Jesus have anything at all against them? How could He have anything bad to say? Look at all He liked about them. Nevertheless, He did have a problem. Apparently, they were so busy working and doing things FOR Him that they forgot all about the Lord Jesus Himself. The forgot to honor Him. Has the world...

Free Speech Zones - Or Counter-Terrorism At It's Best (she said snickeringly)

http://lurasbookcase.com/freespeech.shtml

Or Counter-Terrorism At It's Best (she said snickeringly). One thing we do have in our favor is that we are not conditioned to this sort of thing so it still does shock us. Because we live in a rural area, we aren't quite as subject to the political trash that others may be dealing with. A couple of years ago, I wrote an article on the Frog In The Pot theory of living. You know the story, don't you? Where is the outcry, people? Where are those who are willing to stand up and be counted on this issue?

WE THE PEOPLE - Here's mud in your eye!

http://lurasbookcase.com/mudineye.shtml

Here's mud in your eye! WE THE PEOPLE are the only thing that should matter right now. The vote belongs to us. The candidates need to remember that fact instead of each trying to beat the brains out of the other. Both parties have been playing a very dirty game of smash and run. What ever happened to the time when we actually heard what the candidate plans to do? What happened to talking about the issues at hand? How about our schools? These are things that I am vitally interested with. Are you? You do n...

Dwelling In The Secret Place....Psalm 91:14 - I delivered him because he loved Me!

http://lurasbookcase.com/psalm91v14.shtml

Dwelling In The Secret Place.Psalm 91:14. I delivered him because he loved Me! Psalms 91:14, Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. However, in the last three verses, 14-16, again the writer/speaker has changed. Now, we can clearly see that it has to be the Father. How do we know that? Because only the Father is able to do the things that the Speaker says. Only the Father can tell us that He will deliver us. Only ...I wil...

God's Greatest Gift - Yours free for the asking.

http://lurasbookcase.com/greatestgift.shtml

Yours free for the asking. Imagine that an extremely wealthy businessman has noticed you. There does not seem to be a good reason for it. He just liked you. Because you have favor with this person, he has decided to gift you with something incredibly valuable. Bewildered by the whole thing, you don't know what to do or say. Do you gratefully accept the gift? Do you decline it since you really don't know the person at all? What if he has given numerous such gifts to many people? God is Father. He love...

The Frog in the Pot. Commentary on the last days.

http://lurasbookcase.com/frog.shtml

The Frog in the Pot. Commentary on the last days. There appear to be half-truths and outright lies embedded in the pages. The danger comes when we accept them without question. Not only the New Age Movement is on the rise. Many cults are beginning to become alive and healthy. The church, for the most part, is ignoring this. All right, so why should we be concerned now? Matthew 24:42-44 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had ...

Forgiveness, From God And From The Other Guy - Can I keep my unforgiveness and get God's forgiveness anyway?

http://lurasbookcase.com/forgiveness-from-god-and-the-other-guy.shtml

Forgiveness, From God And From The Other Guy. Can I keep my unforgiveness and get God's forgiveness anyway? Forgiveness, probably the hardest word to deal with as a Christian. I love the word and dislike the word, depending on where I stand. Sounds like a passive thing but it is a very active verb. What is forgiveness and what does it take to get some? Hey, you always wanted to know that someone would forgive you when you do something wrong, correct? 1) Will God forgive me if someone else does not? I hav...

Sleep, My Child. It's Convenient.

http://lurasbookcase.com/sleepchild.shtml

Sleep, My Child. It's Convenient. I am going to step right into the mud puddle in the beginning of this article. As recently as this morning, I saw a survey that asked the question: "Generally speaking, do you think that euthanasia (ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment) is humane or inhumane? Do you think that it's too George Orwell of me to suggest euthanasia parlors?

Does God Care? - Is God the sugar daddy of all time or does He just love us that much?

http://lurasbookcase.com/does-god-care.shtml

Recently, I started a study on that very question. It seems to me that even the faith giants ask this at one time or another. Isn't it in your heart at those times of pressure or maybe you just wonder about it sometimes because it doesn't really look like it? I wasn't patient enough to wait on God to deal with the situation. How often do we give up our faith moments, hours or days before our blessing is about to show up? The person who loves God is the one God loves and cares for. - I Cor. 8:3. For me, i...
