No Matte What Kind of Lions
by Dr. C. I. Schofield.

        Within a week after my conversion, I passed a window of a picture store in St Louis, and saw hanging there an engraving of a painting of Daniel in the den of lions. The prophet, with his hands behind him, and the lions circling about him, is looking up and answering the kings question.

        The one think I was in mortal fear of, in those days, was that I might go back to my sins. I was a drunken lawyer in St Louis when I was converted, with no power over an appetite from strong drink. And I was so afraid of a bar room or hotel or a club that when I saw I was coming to one, I would cross the street. I was in torment day and night. No one told about the keeping power of Jesus Christ.

        I stood before that picture, and a great hope and faith came into my heart, and I said, "Why, these lions are all about me - my old habits and sins - but the God that shut lions mouths for Daniel an shut them for me." I learned that my God was able to deliver me from the lions. Oh, what a rest it was!"

        "The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve they soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore." 
(Psalm 121:7-8).


Apples of God
(Proverbs 25:11).
        "what the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations, or more novel methods - but men whom the Holy Ghost can use - men mighty in prayer.
                    E. M . Bounds

        "We find four rules for doing the King's business: heartily, diligently, faithfully, and speedily."
                    Frances Ridey Havergal

        "I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best friend. I must be holy for His sake. How can I live in sin when He died to save me from it."
                      C. H. Spurgeon

        "I am daily waiting for the coming of the Son of God."
                        George Whitefield

The Lord's Pressence

  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...
