Faith of a Mustard Seed

Image
 I saw this necklace on The Positive Christian . It is a cross with a see through middle that contains a mustard seed. I think it is not only beautiful but also can be instructional; Mustard Seed Necklace  (it is on sale from $17.10 to $9.97 [at least at the time of this posting - so one should check the price before ordering one]). I don't gain or profit from showing this but I thought it was a great way to start a blog about the faith of a mustard seed.  Here is a photo from their website; The Positive Christian .  It comes in silver or gold finished.  The scripture that has the 'faith of a mustard seed is Matthew 17:20 KJV (one can see other versions [translations] of this verse at Bible Gateway too). Bible Hub is where one can see the different translations side by side to compare the scriptures for Matthew 17:20 .  20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye sh...

The Messianic Heart Necklace?

Image
  Here is the Messianic Heart necklace from The Positive Christian . One part that I like is that part of the sales goes to a charity. I do not gain money from posting this but think it is not only nice but a great way to give to a great cause.         ' 10% of total sales from this necklace will be donated to the       International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. The funds       go to Israel to save lives and provide emergency essentials       to those in need.' Another part is that it is very pretty. It has a heart, the start of David and a cross in perfect balance.  From the website, it is also on sale. It seems it is normally $49.97 but on sale for $29.97. I think that is a good deal. It could explain the high demand for something this nice. It indicates that it might take a few extra days to ship out because of the high demand.  I am not one who normally wears a neckchain (...

Seven Promises Of God

Image
  I got the above from a friend on Facebook. I think it is good. I think it needs scripture to support them. I will be copying the below and adding scripture.  1: I will protect you. Daily Verse has a list of 40 verses of protection. I am checking them out to see if they are verses of protection. The ones I have seen are related to protection; in some way. 2: I will provide for you. Bible Reason has some verses on God providing. I am checking them out. The ones I have seen are pretty good.  3: I am your strength Bible Study Tools has some verses on God being out strength. Some of them are about God providing strength.  4: I will always love you Bible Study Tools has verses on how God will always love us. I am checking these out too. 5: I will answer you when you call. Knowing Jesus has verses on God answering us when we call.  I am checking these verses out. 6: I am with you. Open Bible has verses on God being with us.  I will check these out; there are...

Lesson of the Widows Mite and the Widows Mite Coin

Image
  Luke 21: 1 - 4 (Bible Gateway) KJV . 21  And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3  And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. The rich might have given more but she gave all she had. Per the scripture above, it had more value to God since it was a greater sacrifice for her to give. It is not the value of what is given but the value of the sacrifice.  Lesson of the Widows Mite - Wikipedia .  Here is an interesting view of the widows mite. Parallel Bible .  Luke 21:1 , Luke 21: 2 , Luke 21:3 , Luke 21:4 .  The above are links to different versions of the Bible for these verses so one can compare them.  Here are some of the coins of the Bibl...

Replica Bible Coins?

Image
  Replica Bible Coins? I did an online search for Bible coins or coins that might have been used during Biblical times. I came across a few sites that had replicas of those coins. It seems most sites had them at a reasonable price (being a replica, I didn't really expect a high price). I also found some that were authentic price and not cheap (for another post). I am posting some of those sites as I discover and check them out.  Museums Replicas Limited - They have six coins for the price of $9.95 for set one.  Coins of the Bible by Coin Replicas - less a site to sell but more of a site to inform. There are links so one can buy / purchase the coins by clicking on the photo of the coin. I think the price of the replicas might be a little high but too expensive (depending on what one considers expensive). They have a broader site of the replica Bible coins by Coin Replicas .  Amazon - This link is for one coin. I think it is neat that it is made in Israel; the land ...

Christian Book Distributors?

Image
 I have found a great site for Christian books and supplies and other things. It is Christian Book Distributors . It is not just Bibles but other resources like Christian books and other materials related to it.  I have found it to be a great resource for Bibles . They have a whole bunch of different translations. I prefer the King James Version and the New King James Version .  It is a short blog but I just wanted to post about this site. I think it is a great site for Christians and for churches; IMO (in my opinion).  TomLeeM 2023 / 09 / 13 My idea for a new(er) Christian flag. 

Reading The Holy Bible - Going To The Source Instead of Taking Others People Word On It.

Image
I think it is important to read the Holy bible instead of taking others people for what it does or doesn't say. There are things that people say that is in the Bible that isn't and things that people thought wasn't in the Bible but is.  I got this photo from another site but I don't remember which. With the Bible in so many translations one has a choice of reading it in ones language. I believe the American Bible Society  is a great resource for Bibles.  I have found the Christian Book Distributers is a great resource for Bibles and many other Christian related items. Here is their section on Bibles .  I have found that one can get the Bible in e-book form and as an app for ones cell phone / tablet computer. I have found both and use both on my tablet computer and my e-book readers. I suggested one can find the Bible in ones own language online using ones phone (one person I suggested it to found it in his native language).  I think it is interesting that the f...
