  • If anyone is interested in using household cleaners, with out chemicals, let me know. There is a lot more than cleaners, make up, even BEEF. And more.

    Back 33 years ago, I started using a product, that a friend told me about. I didn't start because she was a friend. I started because I used a product.

    I'm getting ahead of myself. The owner of the products don't want it to be word of mouth. Which I think is stupid, but I'm not the owner. I'm not able to actually say the name of the Business.

    So to proceed. There is not a link, I have to generate emails to whoever is interested.

    Now. Back to why, I am involved. Sheila left me a bottle of laundry soap, to try. It was around Christmas time, Whitney, a little over 1 at the time, had a CUTE little red velvet and WHITE, DRESS on. She had a sippy cup, that had grape juice in it. She took the lid off, I thought that the little EXPENSIVE dress was ruined. I used the VERY SMALL AMOUNT of laundry soap with a load of her clothes. It came out BEAUTIFUL! That was the first thing that sold me on the products.

    I had people that signed up under me, but life happened. The product is expensive, but well worth it. It's not deluded down. and NO chemicals. Yes, I made money from it.

    Fast forward, I was listening to a Patriot sight, and they had an ad. As I listened, I said great! I found it AGAIN. I've been trying to find someone for several years that was involved!!

    I called her and she told me she had to send me an email, As I was going down the list of questions. Being the "Patient" person that I am. I called and said, "I know what this is, I've been looking for it again! Just sign me up!"

    There is also another item that I used on my Children when they were younger, and again a little over 10 years ago, when I was involved.

    My son (Jamie) uses it now. And other products, but one in particular, for pain.

    So, if you are interested, send me your email addy in a DM.

  • When the Bear Walks the Sky

    At dusk, the ancestors rise
    not from the ground,
    but from the breath of clouds.

    The bear is their remembering—
    vast, patient, made of fire and night—
    watching over a single lodge,
    a rider moving slowly through prayer.

    The water learns their names
    and holds them without sound.
    The trees bow
    because they still recognize the footsteps.

    This is how the old ones return:
    not as ghosts,
    but as guardians woven into the world—
    asking us to live
    as if every step is seen,
    And every silence is sacred.

  • Believer, do you carry worries like a weight, pulling down on you, dragging you low? Why? What cares do you have that should burden you so?

    There is no situation in this life you must endure alone. The Lord has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5). Why then worry?

    Instead, as Peter exhorted, cast “all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:7). Humble yourself before the Lord; He will exalt you when it is your time (1 Pet. 5:6).

    Do not allow “the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word” in you so that you are unfruitful (Mt. 13:22). Jesus left us His peace, telling His disciples not to let their hearts be troubled nor fearful (Jn. 14:27).

    Do not let the world or your circumstances drag you down. Instead, heed Paul’s encouragement and “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6-7).

    "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you." 1 Peter 5:7

    It is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel- "HE careth for me." Christian! do not dishonour religion by always wearing a brow of care; come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath a weight which your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden, would be to Him but as the small dust of the balance. Nothing is so sweet as to

    "Lie passive in God's hands, And know no will but His."

    O child of suffering, be thou patient; God has not passed thee over in His providence. He who is the feeder of sparrows, will also furnish you with what you need. Sit not down in despair; hope on, hope ever. Take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble, and your opposition shall yet end your distresses. There is One who careth for you. His eye is fixed on you, His heart beats with pity for your woe, and his hand omnipotent shall yet bring you the needed help. The darkest cloud shall scatter itself in showers of mercy. The blackest gloom shall give place to the morning. He, if thou art one of His family, will bind up thy wounds, and heal thy broken heart. Doubt not His grace because of thy tribulation, but believe that He loveth thee as much in seasons of trouble as in times of happiness. What a serene and quiet life might you lead if you would leave providing to the God of providence! With a little oil in the cruse, and a handful of meal in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and you will do the same. If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God.

  • A Soft Goodbye to the Sea

    Tonight, I speak softly.
    So waves will not interrupt
    What my heart remembers.

    You rest beside me.
    eyes holding ancient water,
    patient as untold years.

    I tell you my longing
    has no chains for you,
    only blessings folded in fear.

    When the tide calls your name,
    Do not hesitate for me.
    Freedom must never wait.

    Swim where light deepens,
    where no hands can claim you,
    where silence teaches strength.

    Guard your shell with wisdom.
    not every touch is kindness.
    Not every shore is safe.

    If storms bruise your journey,
    turn your face to the moon
    She knows your way home.

    I will keep my missing
    like a quiet lantern,
    warm, but not demanding.

    Go now, beloved traveler,
    Carry my hope in your wake.
    Be wild. Be careful. Be free.

  • Brethren, do you make time for prayer? Do you make it a priority?

    Countless times in the New Testament we are exhorted to pray. In the garden, Jesus admonishes His disciples to “keep praying,” warning that, though the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak (Mt. 26:41), and even to pray for those who would mistreat them (Lk. 6:28). James explains that the fervent prayer of a righteous man is effective and accomplishes much (Jas. 5:16). The Apostles, at the founding of the Church, devoted themselves to prayer (Acts 6:4). In fact, all those who followed their teaching also devoted themselves to prayer (Acts 2:42).

    Paul over and again encourages his readers to “pray at all times” (Eph. 6:18), to not be anxious about anything, but pray (Phil. 4:6-7), and to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thes. 5:17).

    With so many passages imploring us to pray, how can we not do so? A relationship cannot exist without communication, thus we must give ourselves to prayer if we wish to have a relationship with our God who saved us. He communicates with us through His word, and He urges us, “devote yourselves to prayer” (Col. 4:2) so that we may communicate with Him.

    Let us not neglect our communing with the Lord through prayer, but make it a regular practice at the outset of the day, during moments when we are unoccupied, when concerns arise, before we lie down at night, whenever we are able. Disciplining ourselves to have a strong prayer life will lead to a closer walk with Him.

    "Continue in prayer." Colossians 4:2

    It is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcely open the Bible before we read, "Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord;" and just as we are about to close the volume, the "Amen" of an earnest supplication meets our ear. Instances are plentiful. Here we find a wrestling Jacob- there a Daniel who prayed three times a day- and a David who with all his heart called upon his God. On the mountain we see Elias; in the dungeon Paul and Silas. We have multitudes of commands, and myriads of promises. What does this teach us, but the sacred importance and necessity of prayer? We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives. If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it. So deep are our necessities, that until we are in heaven we must not cease to pray. Dost thou want nothing? Then, I fear thou dost not know thy poverty. Hast thou no mercy to ask of God? Then, may the Lord's mercy show thee thy misery! A prayerless soul is a Christless soul. Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honour of a Christian. If thou be a child of God, thou wilt seek thy Father's face, and live in thy Father's love. Pray that this year thou mayst be holy, humble, zealous, and patient; have closer communion with Christ, and enter oftener into the banqueting-house of His love. Pray that thou mayst be an example and a blessing unto others, and that thou mayst live more to the glory of thy Master. The motto for this year must be, "Continue in prayer."

  • Keeper of the Hidden Fire

    From the night’s woven garden
    The Raccoon listens—
    a small heart carrying a vast sky.
    Stars cling to his fur like stories
    that refused to fade.

    He wears the old mask.
    not to deceive,
    but to remember who we are
    when names fall away.
    Between leaf and shadow
    He learns the language of crossings.

    His paws glow with patient symbols.
    marks of making-do,
    of finding medicine in what was broken.
    Color hums around him—
    every petal a witness,
    Every spark a vow.

    Raccoon laughs softly at fear.
    turns locks with kindness,
    opens doors that shame once guarded.
    He teaches the sacred art of survival:
    bend, adapt, become.

    When the cosmos leans close,
    He gathers fragments—
    lost songs, misplaced courage—
    and tucks them back into the body
    where they belong.

    If he stands before you,
    Do not rush.
    Breathe.
    He is asking whether you will trust
    the wild intelligence within,
    the hidden fire that knows
    How to make a life from night.

  • I Am the Bear

    I do not rush.
    The world can wait.

    I was born from seasons,
    from snow that remembers footsteps,
    from fire that teaches when to rest.
    My strength is not loud.
    It is patient.

    I stand where fear slows down.
    Where breath becomes honest.
    Those who meet my eyes feel it
    the weight of being seen without judgment.

    I carry the dark the way earth carries roots.
    Not to hide them,
    but to hold them steady.

    When anger comes, I do not chase it away.
    I let it pass through my chest
    until it learns its true name:
    Grief is asking to be protected.

    I know when to fight.
    I know when to sleep.
    That knowing is my power.

    The ancestors speak to me in long silences.
    In caves.
    In winter.
    In the moments when the heart stops pretending to be small.

    If you feel drawn to me,
    It is not because you need more strength.
    It is because you are ready to stand still
    and trust it has already grown.

    I am the Bear.
    I do not follow the path.

    I become it.

  • Brethren, the Lord is incredibly patient, far more so than we. For millennia, He has waited, watching as sinful men do sinful things, yet allowing them to carry on in this manner. Why?

    So that He may be gracious to His people, us, and those also who would repent and receive His salvation (Isa. 30:18).

    He is patient, not yet demonstrating His wrath nor making His full power known to those on whom His wrath will fall. Why? So that He may “make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles” (Rom. 9:22-23).

    Many wonder, “why does He not yet return? For what purpose does He wait?” Beloved, are we the only ones to whom He has offered salvation? No, He has others, and He is patient, because He is not willing that they should perish, but that they too should come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9).

    Let us rejoice, then, in His patience, knowing that His patience allowed for our salvation. At the appointed time, He will return for us, so look forward to, and be prepared for, His second appearance, especially now while we prepare to celebrate His first appearance which provided the means for our salvation. For we know not when He shall return, but we know that He will. Therefore, we must be patient, as is He.

    Morning, December 9

    "Therefore will the Lord wait that He may be gracious unto you." Isaiah 30:18

    God often DELAYS IN ANSWERING PRAYER. We have several instances of this in sacred Scripture. Jacob did not get the blessing from the angel until near the dawn of day- he had to wrestle all night for it. The poor woman of Syrophoenicia was answered not a word for a long while. Paul besought the Lord thrice that "the thorn in the flesh" might be taken from him, and he received no assurance that it should be taken away, but instead thereof a promise that God's grace should be sufficient for him. If thou hast been knocking at the gate of mercy, and hast received no answer, shall I tell thee why the mighty Maker hath not opened the door and let thee in? Our Father has reasons peculiar to Himself for thus keeping us waiting. Sometimes it is to show His power and His sovereignty, that men may know that Jehovah has a right to give or to withhold. More frequently the delay is for our profit. Thou art perhaps kept waiting in order that thy desires may be more fervent. God knows that delay will quicken and increase desire, and that if He keeps thee waiting thou wilt see thy necessity more clearly, and wilt seek more earnestly; and that thou wilt prize the mercy all the more for its long tarrying. There may also be something wrong in thee which has need to be removed, before the joy of the Lord is given. Perhaps thy views of the Gospel plan are confused, or thou mayest be placing some little reliance on thyself, instead of trusting simply and entirely to the Lord Jesus. Or, God makes thee tarry awhile that He may the more fully display the riches of His grace to thee at last. Thy prayers are all filed in heaven, and if not immediately answered they are certainly not forgotten, but in a little while shall be fulfilled to thy delight and satisfaction. Let not despair make thee silent, but continue instant in earnest supplication.
    Brethren, the Lord is incredibly patient, far more so than we. For millennia, He has waited, watching as sinful men do sinful things, yet allowing them to carry on in this manner. Why? So that He may be gracious to His people, us, and those also who would repent and receive His salvation (Isa. 30:18). He is patient, not yet demonstrating His wrath nor making His full power known to those on whom His wrath will fall. Why? So that He may “make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles” (Rom. 9:22-23). Many wonder, “why does He not yet return? For what purpose does He wait?” Beloved, are we the only ones to whom He has offered salvation? No, He has others, and He is patient, because He is not willing that they should perish, but that they too should come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9). Let us rejoice, then, in His patience, knowing that His patience allowed for our salvation. At the appointed time, He will return for us, so look forward to, and be prepared for, His second appearance, especially now while we prepare to celebrate His first appearance which provided the means for our salvation. For we know not when He shall return, but we know that He will. Therefore, we must be patient, as is He. —————— Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Morning, December 9 "Therefore will the Lord wait that He may be gracious unto you." Isaiah 30:18 God often DELAYS IN ANSWERING PRAYER. We have several instances of this in sacred Scripture. Jacob did not get the blessing from the angel until near the dawn of day- he had to wrestle all night for it. The poor woman of Syrophoenicia was answered not a word for a long while. Paul besought the Lord thrice that "the thorn in the flesh" might be taken from him, and he received no assurance that it should be taken away, but instead thereof a promise that God's grace should be sufficient for him. If thou hast been knocking at the gate of mercy, and hast received no answer, shall I tell thee why the mighty Maker hath not opened the door and let thee in?

  • Christian, do you suffer with physical difficulties? Illness? Injury? Disability? This should come as no surprise - we live in a fallen world, inhabiting corruptible bodies.

    Paul describes this fallen world as follows: “For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Rom. 8:19-21).

    One day, the world shall be set free from its corruption; until then, it waits and degrades, as do we. As Paul continues, “even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body” (Rom. 8:23).

    Paul himself suffered with an issue that most believe to be a physical impairment, as Paul describes in 2 Cor. 12 his “thorn in the flesh” that tormented him in order to keep him humble. Timothy suffered “frequent ailments”, and Paul instructed him to drink wine for relief (1 Tim. 5:23). Neither was healed in this life.

    The promise for us, that to which we look forward, for which we wait eagerly, is “our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body” (Rom. 8:23). Let us then when not healed, as did Paul, recognize that in our weakness God is shown to be strong and the power of Christ is able to dwell in us (2 Cor. 12:9). For when we are weak, then we are strong (2 Cor. 12:10).

    ——————
    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, December 4

    "Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:23

    This groaning is universal among the saints: to a greater or less extent we all feel it. It is not the groan of murmuring or complaint: it is rather the note of desire than of distress. Having received an earnest, we desire the whole of our portion; we are sighing that our entire manhood, in its trinity of spirit, soul, and body, may be set free from the last vestige of the fall; we long to put off corruption, weakness, and dishonour, and to wrap ourselves in incorruption, in immortality, in glory, in the spiritual body which the Lord Jesus will bestow upon His people. We long for the manifestation of our adoption as the children of God. "We groan," but it is "within ourselves." It is not the hypocrite's groan, by which he would make men believe that he is a saint because he is wretched. Our sighs are sacred things, too hallowed for us to tell abroad. We keep our longings to our Lord alone. Then the apostle says we are "waiting", by which we learn that we are not to be petulant, like Jonah or Elijah, when they said, "Let me die"; nor are we to whimper and sigh for the end of life because we are tired of work, nor wish to escape from our present sufferings till the will of the Lord is done. We are to groan for glorification, but we are to wait patiently for it, knowing that what the Lord appoints is best. Waiting implies being ready. We are to stand at the door expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to Himself. This "groaning" is a test. You may judge of a man by what he groans after. Some men groan after wealth- they worship Mammon; some groan continually under the troubles of life- they are merely impatient; but the man who sighs after God, who is uneasy till he is made like Christ, that is the blessed man. May God help us to groan for the coming of the Lord, and the resurrection which He will bring to us.

    Remember the line they used - "If we can save but one child ..."?

    A deliberate lie that leads to death should be rightly called murder and be charged as such.

    "Regulatory Implications

    Starting with Paragraph #2 of the letter:



    Prior to joining the US FDA, the FDA Commissioner closely followed reports of vaccine-induced myocarditis. Unlike the COVID virus, which has a steep age gradient-- being at least 1000 times more likely to kill an 80 year old than an 8 year old-- myocarditis appeared to have the opposite pattern. Young, healthy boys and men-- those least likely to experience bad covid outcomes-- bore the greatest risk. The risk was as high as ~200-330 per million doses given in the highest risk demographic groups. Notably, the US FDA and CDC were not the first to recognize the safety signal-- instead the Israelis were-- and worse in May of 2021, then CDC director Rochelle Walensky stated, “We have not seen a signal and we’ve actually looked intentionally for the signal in the over 200 million doses we’ve given,” Many felt this statement was dishonest and manipulative.



    § Prasad is not referencing a specific regulated product, but rather seems to refer to the general class of COVID vaccine products. Personally, I object to and disagree with this approach. Each product is unique, and should be addressed as such. General statements about a class of products (“COVID vaccines”) are not appropriate from a regulatory science perspective. I advocate adopting this position at both FDA and CDC.



    § Prasad is describing an official CBER position that the risk of myocarditis post administration of these product is at least 200-330/million doses (2-3.3/ ten thousand) in this highest risk cohort. Nuance here being doses. That means for a patient receiving the initial vaccine series (two doses), there is a risk of 4-6.6 myocarditis events/ten thousand vaccinees (0.04 to 0.066%). For comparison, current official COVID case rates of death in children (CFR) are in the range of 0.04–0.2%. Also keep in mind that myocarditis is one of many adverse events known to be associated with receipt of these products.



    § Prasad points out that former CDC director Walensky lied and thereby suppressed public disclosure of what was then known to be a myocarditis serious adverse event.



    Putting these facts together, it is horrifying to consider that the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved.



    § It is now the official position of the FDA/CBER that USG vaccine policies may have caused more harm than would have been associated with allowing SARS-CoV-2 to infect children without vaccination. This overlooks the additional impact of active FDA and USG suppression of the early treatment options pioneered by front-line physicians all over the world."

    The court clarified that “sincerity” is the core test under Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014), not doctrinal dissection. This very much lowers the bar for plaintiffs.

  • These 5 Big Food Corporations are the ones feeding you Inside Your Hospitals when you’re sick.

    When you’re sick, you’d expect hospitals to give you real nourishment. Instead, the same corporations that dominate the processed food industry are the ones feeding patients at their weakest.

    1. Nestlé – “Medical Nutrition”
    Nestlé partners with hospitals to push shakes like Boost and feeding tube formulas like Nutren. These products contain canola oil, corn syrup, sugar, and additives. Marketed as “nutrition,” but far from real food, they fuel inflammation and poor health outcomes.

    2. Coca-Cola – Beverage Contracts
    Coca-Cola has exclusive contracts inside major hospitals. Patients are sold Coke, Diet Coke, Powerade, and sugary juices instead of clean hydration. The same sodas and sweeteners tied to obesity and diabetes are handed out in places meant to treat those very conditions.

    3. PepsiCo – Junk Food in Cafeterias
    From Pepsi and Diet Pepsi to Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Tropicana, Quaker, and Frito-Lay, PepsiCo fills hospital vending machines and cafeterias. Patients recovering from surgery walk past the same junk food that drives heart disease and metabolic illness.

    4. General Mills – Processed Cereals
    Hospital breakfasts often include Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and Wheaties. Marketed as “healthy,” but loaded with sugar, dyes, and refined grains. Instead of nutrition, patients get bowls that spike blood sugar and disrupt gut health.

    5. Kellogg’s – Sugary Breakfasts
    Cereals like Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, and Rice Krispies are served daily in hospitals. Packed with refined flour, sugar, and preservatives, these cereals are tied to the same chronic conditions hospitals claim to fight.

    6. Kraft Heinz – Processed Comfort Foods
    Brands like Oscar Mayer, Jell-O, Lunchables, and Philadelphia show up in hospital trays and cafeterias. Behind the comfort foods are nitrates, preservatives, and artificial ingredients linked to inflammation and poor recovery.

    The Truth: The very corporations fueling sickness through processed food are the same ones feeding patients in hospitals. The cycle of disease is profitable—and it’s being served up on your tray.

  • Ecclesiastes
    Chapter 7

    1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

    2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

    3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

    4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

    5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

    6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

    7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

    8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

    9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

    10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

    11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

    12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

    13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

    14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

    15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

    16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

    17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

    18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

    19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

    20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

    21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:

    22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

    23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

    24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?

    25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

    26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

    27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:

    28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

    29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

  • Christian, how highly do you think of yourself? Would you be above washing your brother’s feet as did our Lord for His disciples? (Jn. 13:5) If so, why?

    Did you earn your entrance into His kingdom? What do you have that you have not received (1 Cor. 4:7)? Do not think more highly of yourself than is right, but instead, assess yourself honestly (Rom. 12:3). This is true humility, and from that flows a spirit of service.

    As Scripture exhorts, “do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves” (Phil. 2:3). For this is the attitude which Jesus Himself had, setting aside His glory to be made in the likeness of man (Phil. 2:5-8), and coming not to be served, but to serve, and to offer His life as a ransom for us (Mk. 10:45).

    Therefore brethren, as our Savior bowed Himself to cleanse us, let us bow before Him, and while on our knees , lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ, not looking out only for ourselves, but for the interests of others as well (Phil. 2:4).

    "He began to wash the disciples' feet." John 13:5

    The Lord Jesus loves His people so much, that every day He is still doing for them much that is analogous to washing their soiled feet. Their poorest actions He accepts; their deepest sorrow He feels; their slenderest wish He hears, and their every transgression He forgives. He is still their servant as well as their Friend and Master. He not only performs majestic deeds for them, as wearing the mitre on His brow, and the precious jewels glittering on His breastplate, and standing up to plead for them, but humbly, patiently, He yet goes about among His people with the basin and the towel. He does this when He puts away from us day by day our constant infirmities and sins. Last night, when you bowed the knee, you mournfully confessed that much of your conduct was not worthy of your profession; and even tonight, you must mourn afresh that you have fallen again into the selfsame folly and sin from which special grace delivered you long ago; and yet Jesus will have great patience with you; He will hear your confession of sin; He will say, "I will, be thou clean"; He will again apply the blood of sprinkling, and speak peace to your conscience, and remove every spot. It is a great act of eternal love when Christ once for all absolves the sinner, and puts him into the family of God; but what condescending patience there is when the Saviour with much long-suffering bears the oft recurring follies of His wayward disciple; day by day, and hour by hour, washing away the multiplied transgressions of His erring but yet beloved child! To dry up a flood of rebellion is something marvellous, but to endure the constant dropping of repeated offences- to bear with a perpetual trying of patience, this is divine indeed! While we find comfort and peace in our Lord's daily cleansing, its legitimate influence upon us will be to increase our watchfulness, and quicken our desire for holiness. Is it so?

  • Christian, Paul tells us of his Israelite brethren, “they did not stumble so as to fall” (Rom. 11:11). Do then you believe God would allow those He has chosen to fall? May it never be!

    You belong to Him. He is your God, and He has promised to strengthen you, to help you, to uphold you with His righteous right hand (Isa. 41:10). Those He chooses will obtain the salvation He promised, as those He hardens will not (Rom. 11:7).

    The road laid before us is rough; those who seek to walk with Him walk a path that is not easy. But He lights our way. He strengthens us (Phil. 4:13). He sustains us (Ps. 51:12).

    We will face tribulations and adversity along the way. Our job is not to lean upon our own understanding, but to lean into Him and trust Him (Pr. 3:5). This may be the most difficult lesson of the Christian life, learning to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7). Yet this we must do. We must learn to see beyond our circumstances to the inheritance that awaits us.

    Oh how wonderful it will be when we enter into glory! And He is able to keep us for that day, for that purpose, to keep us from falling, so that we may stand blameless before Him with great joy (Jud. 1:24). Hallelujah, Amen!

    "Able to keep you from falling." Jude 24

    In some sense the path to heaven is very safe, but in other respects there is no road so dangerous. It is beset with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is to take that if grace be absent), and down we go. What a slippery path is that which some of us have to tread! How many times have we to exclaim with the Psalmist, "My feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped." If we were strong, sure-footed mountaineers, this would not matter so much; but in ourselves, how weak we are! In the best roads we soon falter, in the smoothest paths we quickly stumble. These feeble knees of ours can scarcely support our tottering weight. A straw may throw us, and a pebble can wound us; we are mere children tremblingly taking our first steps in the walk of faith, our heavenly Father holds us by the arms or we should soon be down. Oh, if we are kept from falling, how must we bless the patient power which watches over us day by day! Think, how prone we are to sin, how apt to choose danger, how strong our tendency to cast ourselves down, and these reflections will make us sing more sweetly than we have ever done, "Glory be to Him, who is able to keep us from falling." We have many foes who try to push us down. The road is rough and we are weak, but in addition to this, enemies lurk in ambush, who rush out when we least expect them, and labour to trip us up, or hurl us down the nearest precipice. Only an Almighty arm can preserve us from these unseen foes, who are seeking to destroy us. Such an arm is engaged for our defence. He is faithful that hath promised, and He is able to keep us from falling, so that with a deep sense of our utter weakness, we may cherish a firm belief in our perfect safety, and say, with joyful confidence,

    Against me earth and hell combine,
    But on my side is power divine;
    Jesus is all, and He is mine!
