The "FLEE' Market

 This is copied from the bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH. The bulletin is dated 03/24/2024. 


The "FLEE" Market

        The Bible contains a vast "flee market" with over 100 flee verses. Flee means to run, git, shun, avoid, move, and don't look back. There are times to face and fight. There are also times to flee and forget. Wisdom is knowing when - when to wait and when to walk. Know when to stop and know to step.

TIMES TO FLEE
        "Flee fornication" (1 Corinthians 6:18)
    Learn that lifetime lust lingers within you (Romans 7:20). In his later years John R Rice said, "I have not become sinless, but I do sin less."

TIMES TO FOLLOW
        "But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness." (1 Timothy 6:11).
        "Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness ..."
(2 Timothy 2:22). 

TIMES TO FIGHT
        "Fight the good fight of faith" (1 Timothy 6:12)
        Fight good fights of faith - flee bad fights of flesh.
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).
        Notice that as you flee to God, the devil flees from you. As you draw nigh to God, God draws nigh to you (James 4:8). When the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future. The devil and God are incompatible.
        Question: Whos is fleeing? you or the devil? 

FAVORITE FLEE TIMES
        "In the LORD put i my trust; how say ye to my soul, flee as a bird (fly) to your mountain? - Psalm 11:1
        There are times to flee to your happy place.
        "Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away,  they see no good". - Job 9:25
        Some say, "Time Flies.". Well what else can it do? Time will not stop or slow down, but you can. Warning! The came should have avoided that last straw.
        "Whither shall I go from they spirit?" or whither shall I flee from they presence? - Psalm 139:7
        There is no place to flee from God! God is here, there and everywhere. God has always been and He will always be. No one can flee from God - no one (Psalm 139:8)! You are facing an inescapable appointment with God (Hebrews 9:27).

        Flea markets are seasonal but God's flee market is open 24/07/365. The Lord will never flee or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). So, lets learn when to FOLLOW, FIGHT OR FLEE.


        The World Will Try To Satisfy

That longing in your soul
You may search the wide world o'er,
But you'll never be just as before!
You'll never find your true satisfaction,
Until you've found the Lord.
For only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
Only He can change your heart and make it whole.
He'll give you peace you never knew,
Sweet love and joy and Heaven, too.
For only Jesus can satisfy your soul!

The Lord's Pressence

Image
  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at ...

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

Image
This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a varie...

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me pa...
