MEEKNESS!


Meekness—- humbleness, tameness, extreme submission.

Christ set an example of meekness.  Psalm 45:4; Isa.53:7; Matt.11:29; 21:5; 2 Cor.10:1; 1 Peter2:21-23.       He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. [ Isaiah 53:7 ]

IN HIS TEACHINGS— Matt.5:38-45.

Meekness is a fruit of the spirit. Gal.5:22-23—

Galatians 5:22-23 (King James Version)

 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

AUGUST MOON!

There is an August moon rising, Rising in the sky, There is an August moon rising, It’s beams lighten the sky, O, what a beautiful sight, As the August moon is rising, Illuminating.the night. There is an August moon rising, Peaking through the pines, Wishing all a beautiful night, There is an August moon rising, Showing God’s wonderful creation. There is an August moon rising, Thank you Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Heavenly light. There is an eternal light shining, Jesus’s love shines on us tonight! ~Winston Staples

BIBLE VERSES FOR TODAY!

Colossians 3:8-17 King James Version 8  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11  Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14  And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16  Let the...

PURE WORDS!

 Now as I open my King James Bible to read and meditate on the truth of God's Word and to share those portions from Proverbs 3 and 22. First is Proverbs 3;   My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5  Trust in the  Lord  with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 22:  A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. 2  The rich and poor meet together: the  Lord  is the maker of them all. 3  A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished....
