Now That's Odd

An Odd Thing (Part one of two)

Some seventy years an odd thing happened to two little boys on the way to grandma's house. They were as homeless as children could be and still have a dwelling place; they were runaways. They never intended returning “home.” They arrived at a small creek near their destination. Wondering just how well they might be received paused their intent. They began to toss gravel into the stream from a highway bridge. Their presence was discovered by family that were stringing beans on the front porch. An aunt came and welcomed them into her home. She prepared a good meal. As they ate, she ask a question: “how long you boys going to stay?” The seven year old stopped gulping food long enough to answer. “Uh, a million years I guess.” Now that is odd.

  Genesis 5:32 “And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” NOW THAT’S ODD!
Genesis 5:32 “And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Genesis 6:8 “...Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis 6:13 “And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” Genesis 7:6 “And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.” NOW THAT’S ODD!
  Genesis 17:21 “...my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. [Genesis 22:2 ] “And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” NOW THAT’S ODD!
  1 Peter 3:20 “...God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” [2 Peter 2:5] “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; [Genesis 19:29] And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. [Genesis 19:30 ]And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. [Genesis 19:36 ]Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.” NOW THAT’S ODD! To be continued tomorrow.

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
