Of the Week

I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, Down by the riverside— Study war no more. I'm gonna walk with that Prince of Peace, Down by the riverside— Study war no more. I'm gonna lay down that atom bomb Down by the riverside— Study war no more. I ain't gonna study war no more. " they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Isaiah 2:4

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land . O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. ...

This is not a comprehensive list of all the times baptism is mentioned in the New Testament. Instead, the following passages can be used to show that baptism (immersion in water) is a part of salvation, that immersion is for the remission of sins. Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" Mark 16:15-16 "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." John 3:5 "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Acts 2:37-39, 41 "when they heard this , they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized ev...

Artist: John Lucas Album: Promised Land Year: 2015 My heart has known the winters, And my feet have known the snow, But mine eyes have seen the glory Of a seed begin to grow. There is a time to uproot, darling, But most days just hold on tight. For there’s a time for darkness, honey, But dawn will always beat the night. Sometimes death will come calling When you’ve been good and warned, And other times its cold hands will cradle Dreams yet to be born. There is a time to dance on sorrow And a time to kiss her cheek. There is a time to mourn in silence, But justice aches to hear you speak. And I don’t know the end, or tomorrow’s story, But I have found the one who gives me rest. And I will make my bed in His promises, For He holds true when nothing’s left. There is a time when laughter will echo Through your halls of peace, But war is known to change your locks And carry off the family keys. There is a time for healing and pain, A time for drought an...

This video explains how to use Google Sheets to keep a record of sermons, Bible classes, devotionals, or presentations that you might give. Correction: The church is the people, not buildings. So if you're going to use the word LOCATION, it would be good to either refer to an actual location (e.g., a house, an address) or to say "the building where . . . church meets." Because I used the word LOCATION for the video, I should have put "the building where the Central Church of Christ meets" instead of "Central Church of Christ." "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching." 2 Timothy 4:2 ESV

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow      When I compare What I have lost with what I have gained, What I have missed with what attained,   Little room do I find for pride.      I am aware How many days have been idly spent; How like an arrow the good intent   Has fallen short or been turned aside.      But who shall dare To measure loss and gain in this wise? Defeat may be victory in disguise;   The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide. "a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again" Proverbs 24:16 ASV

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men . And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And ...

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it , and brake it , and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vin...

Created in September 2016, this 3D art piece is about 19 inches wide,  15⅝ inches high, and  ¾ inches deep. Pins are nailed into the painted piece of wood, and black string is wrapped around those pins to depict a musical score. The musical selection is the very ending of Amen, which is the very last chorus of Handel's oratorio Messiah. You can hear the specific section in this video from 7:04 to the end (you might want to turn down your volume). "And the four beasts said, Amen." Revelation 5:14

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying , Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish...
