"God word is meant to be bread for our daily use, not cupcakes for special occasions.

The devil does not care how much good we plan to do, provided we do not do it today.

A soldier was once brought by his superior officer into the presence of Alexander the Great. The officer said, "This man is guilty of breaking the law again and again. What shall we do with him? His name, too, is Alexander." Looking at the soldier, Alexander said, "Man, either change your name or change your behavior."

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 ).

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.

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...
