  Do Lord   Matthew 10:32 & 33   KJV 32  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.   Today’s title song comes from a hymn sung in bible schools annually, and in Sunday school classes of my long ago youth, as well as at various meetings attended over the continually increasing years of my life. Written sometime before 1952, and copyrighted by VO Fossett that year, it is a plaintive request to be remembered by Christ, a remembrance that shall indeed take place for each just as requested!   “Do Lord” “I’ve got a home in gloryland that outshines the sun, I’ve got a home in gloryland that outshines the sun, I’ve got a home in gloryland that outshines the sun… Way beyond the blue. I took Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too, I took Jesus as my Savior, you ta

  Bringing in the Sheaves   Luke 10 King James Version (KJV) 10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2  Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.   Throughout the gospels we find references made by Jesus that illustrate the need to plant the seed of God’s word, to tend to the growth of those who have received it, and the coming harvest that is to be reaped by Him when that season of growth is done. Parables were given that show both the fertility of the fields, and the hindrances to fertility that would be and still are encountered as that seed is sown…these same parables establishing the necessity for labor to be expended in anticipation of that coming harvest. Today’s title song re

  I Know Who Holds Tomorrow   Genesis 8:22 King James Version (KJV) 22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.   Hebrews 13:8 King James Version (KJV) 8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.   Uncertainty, fear, and the turbulence caused by their constant proliferation, envelop the entire globe in anticipation of what MAY occur with each coming tomorrow as the populace of that globe continues to determine for itself what that new day yet to arrive will bring with it. That fear is conceptualized as an end… an end of what is known, an end to what was imagined to be the solution to perceived problems, and continuation of those and other problems as well. It is conceptualized as an end to the powers that control that populace, and the coming of powers that will exert unwanted control by those who replace them. Thus has it been since Adam too

    God Put a Rainbow in the Cloud   Genesis 9:11-17 King James Version (KJV) 11  And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12  And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13  I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15  And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16  And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all f
