Hi friends! This site is undergoing
significant changes, starting just quite
recently because I just have had the time
to do so. Thanks for coming and your
patience. God bless you! :)
The poem on the right was originally
entitled He Shall Come whose
author is unknown. It was taken from
Rev. Clarence Larkin's celebrated
book Dispensational Truth,
published by himself in 1920 in
Philadelphia, Pa. This poem is lovingly
dedicated to Sis. Naty, Sis. Placida, Sis. Enyang, Sis. Theresa, Sis. Mercy, Sis. Charity Grace and Sis. Charmaine Campaner and
Sis. Nicole
and to all of my friends!!! :)
if you
have any prayer requests, comments, suggestions
or any other stuff at
any of my previous emails, Thanks and wishing you all God's blessings!!! :)

"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." (I Corinthians 2:9-10 KJV)
"I will do the very thing that you have asked; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name," declares the Lord. (Exodus 33:17)
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you," declares the Lord. (John 15:7 KJV)
"I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life," declares the Lord. (John 8:12)
"I have engraved you on the palms of my hands," declares the Lord. (Isaiah 49:16)

Principle of Charity:
If the language of an argument is open to several
different interpretations, select the interpretation
that makes the argument most cogent. If there are
some obvious unstated premises, fill them in.
In short, follow the principle of charity when
analyzing arguments: Interpret opposing arguments
as generously, as charitably, as is possible. By
always giving the benefit of the doubt to whatever
arguments, theories, or positions you are considering,
you will have to think a good deal harder,
but you will also think more carefully and be more
open to promising new ideas.

Thinking: Consider the Verdict, 3rd Ed. p.246
What is Grace?
When we learn about grace we learn what life is all about.
We learn about who we are. But more importantly we learn
about who God is, what the gospel is and our relationship
with Him.
We enter into a dimension of life we never dreamed possible.
Nothing is changed and yet everything is changed.
Grace is not just getting what you don't deserve. Grace is
getting the opposite of what you deserve.
Grace is not just another doctrine. Grace is the way God
relates to us.
Grace is the gospel as the bible says (Acts 20:24).
1. Grace is knowing that there is no more guilt,
condemnation and punishment (Rom, 8:2).
2. Grace is knowing that God loves me and accepts
me just the way I am not because of what I do,
but because of the cross (Rom. 5:5-8).
3. Grace is knowing that Satan was defeated at
the cross and has no power over me and the only
weapon he has is the lie. (Col. 2:15).
4. Grace is knowing that because I died to the
law and have been released from it (Rom. 7:4,6),
I don't have to live up to anyone's standards.
5. Grace is knowing that I am not under law but
under grace (Rom. 6:14) and that Christ is the end
of the law (Rom. 10:4), it is not up to me to live
the Christian life, but to trust Christ in me to do
it (Gal. 2:20).
6. Grace is knowing that there is nothing I can do
to make God love me more and nothing I could do to make
him love me less (Rom. 8:39).
7. Grace is knowing that Jesus said that all who
come to Him will find that the Christian life is
easy and their burden is light (Matt. 11:28-30).
8. Grace is knowing that it is not up to me to do or
die or strive and strain, but to believe that He will
do it all for me (1 Thess. 5:24).
9. Grace is knowing that my sin and failure cannot
overcome the grace of God (contrary to popular belief)
(Rom. 5:20,21).
10. Grace is knowing that no matter what I do or how
I mess up, God is going to love me through all eternity
(Rom. 11:6; 1 John 3:1; 1 John 4:6).
11. Grace is knowing that I have all I need because
Christ is in me and I am in Him and He is in the Father
(John 14:20).
12. Grace is knowing that freedom is my birthright
as a child of God and not something I have to attain
(Gal. 5:1; John 8:32,36).
13. Grace is knowing that I am dead to sin and alive
to God because of what God has done and nothing that I
do (Rom. 6:4-7).
14. Grace is knowing that I am righteous because God
has placed me in Christ and not because of anything I
do (I Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 5:21).
15. Grace is knowing that I have died to the world,
it's customs, ways, values and people's demands and
expectations of me (Gal. 6:13).
16. Grace is knowing that the important thing is not
what I do or don't do, but faith in what God has done
and who I am in Christ (Gal. 6:5,14).
17. Grace is knowing that I am secure in Christ, that
I do not have to fear any person and that He will never
leave me or forsake me (Heb. 13:5,6).
18. Grace is knowing that Christ is my life; that my
life is hidden in Him and I have everything I need for
life and godliness (Col. 3:3,4; 2 Pet. 1:3).
19. Grace is knowing that victory is not something to work
for, but it has already been given to me (1 Cor. 15:56; Eph.2:6;
Eph 1:19-21).
We have just waded into the vast, limitless ocean of God's
grace. The list is endless and we will spend the rest of
eternity adding to our list.

How to Cope with Info-Explo
Permit me an analogy. The information that an utterance
conveys (its explicature) is analogous to an
explosion. Probably each of us has seen a film, whether
of actual events or fictional ones, in which a rocket
hits a munitions dump or fuel depot, triggering an explosion
vastly larger than what the rocket's payload
would cause. Well, that's how communication works, even normal
everyday communication. The small amount of information
conveyed by the utterance can ignite a huge amount of inference.
Fueled by the context, it produces an interpretation that
lights the night sky!
The Code Model-Sender Message Receiverlegacy has led translators to attempt to pack
an explosive charge sufficient for a huge
explosion into the rocket. But there are limits, limits
to what will fit, limits to how much the rocket can
carry to the target.
Relevance Theory, on the other hand, suggests that we ship some of
the explosive material to the target. That way all we
have to do is hit the target with a small rocket-borne charge,
pretty much as the original text did for the
original reader.

Two Translation Theories. Journal of Translation,

"What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
At even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing."
It may be in the evening,
When the work of the day is done,
And you have time to sit in the twilight,
And to watch the sinking sun;
While the long bright day dies slowly
Over the sea,
And the hour grows quiet and holy
With thoughts of Me;
While you hear the village children
Passing along the street,
Among these thronging footsteps
May come the sound of My feet;
Therefore I tell you, watch!
By the light of the evening star,
When the room is growing dusky
As the clouds afar;
Let the door be on the latch
In your home,
For it may be through the gloaming,
I will come.
It may be in the midnight
When ?tis heavy upon the land,
And the black waves lying dumbly
Along the sand;
When the moonless night draws close
And the lights are out in the house,
When the fires burn low and red,
And the watch is ticking loudly
Beside the bed;
Though you sleep tired on your couch,
Still your heart must wake and watch
In the dark room;
For it may be that at midnight
I will come.
It may be at the cock-crow,
When the night is dying slowly
In the sky,
And the sea looks calm and holy,
Waiting for the dawn of the golden sun
Which draweth nigh;
When the mists are on the valleys, shading,
The rivers chill,
And my morning star is fading, fading
Over the hill;
Behold, I say unto you, watch!
Let the door be on the latch
In your home,
In the chill before dawning,
Between the night and morning,
I may come.
It may be in the morning
When the sun is bright and strong,
And the dew is glittering sharply
Over the little lawn,
When the waves are laughing loudly
Along the shore,
And the little birds are singing sweetly
About the door;
With the long day?s work before you
You are up with the sun,
And the neighbors come to talk a little
Of all that must be done;
But, remember, that I may be the next
To come in at the door,
To call you from your busy work,
For evermore.
As you work, your heart must watch,
For the door is on the latch
In your room,
And it may be in the morning
I will come.
So I am watching quietly
Every day,
Whenever the sun shines brightly
I rise and say,
Surely it is the shining of His face,
And look unto the gate of His high place
Beyond the sea,
For I know He is coming shortly
To summon me;
And when a shadow falls across the window
Of my room,
Where I am working my appointed task,
I lift my head to watch the door and ask
If He is come!
And the Spirit answers softly
In my home,
Only a few more shadows,
And He will come.

A CSR was complaining to her sister who was a detective, that she had been fired without reason: “My supervisor warned me that I was too talkative and would be fired if I asked unnecessary questions during phone conversations. But after I heard a very business like conversation, he fired me. I feel like murdering him.” |
|
She repeated the conversation word for word. The detective said, “I can’t intervene with your employer, since he was right. Better forget about killing him.” |
|
The precise conversation was as follows: |
CSR: |
Good morning. What can I do for you today sir? |
Caller: |
This is Mr. Brontin. Please connect me with Mr. Hottencold. |
CSR: |
What name? Please spell it. |
Caller: |
Brontin. B as in brother; R for rhinoceros; O for osculation. N— |
CSR: |
What’s that? O for what? |
Caller: |
O for osculation; N for nitwit; T for terrible; I for idiot; N for nagger |
CSR: |
Thank you Mr. Brontin. Here’s Mr. Hottencold. |
|
Exactly what excess words did the CSR use that caused her to be fired? |

Choose Your Lot
In John 14:2-3 we read, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also."
The Bible says that each believer will be rewarded according to what good
deeds he performed here on earth. I thought I'd speculated on what type of
abode many Christians might find when they walk up to their heavenly mansion.
The Super Saint Mansion: This
is the home of those rare folks who totally commit themselves to the
task of advancing the Kingdom of God.
The Widow's Mite Mansion: Jesus'
example of the poor widow out-giving wealthy men proved that it may not
be so obvious who will be greatly blessed with riches in Heaven.
The God Fearing Mansion: The Bible
repeatedly declares to us that God will, someday, pointedly ask each of
us to give an account of the good deeds we've accomplished in our life
on earth. This type of mansion is for people that wisely acted on God's
warning.
The Average Christian Mansion: In
heaven, even the average believer will enjoy living quarters that will
be elegant by earthly standards.
The Struggling Believer Mansion:
This home is for people who made it into heaven by the skin of their
teeth. It's far better to live as a pauper in heaven,than to face the
alternative.
The Spiritually Immature Mansion:
Many Christians fail to fully mature in their faith. Because these folks
cling to juvenile ways, a play house would be a fitting home for them.
The Wood, Hay and Stubble Mansion:
This is the dwelling place for those individuals Who did everything in
life for their own glory. Many high-minded preachers would easily fit
into this category.
The Pew Warmer Mansion: One of the
saddest groups of people in heaven will be those who never did anything
beyond going to church every Sunday. They had the knowledge of the truth,
but they never did anything with it.
The Quitter Mansion: This is a home
that will never be lived in because the person slated for this lot was a
believer in name only. Angels began to build him a mansion, but they
stopped work when it was clear the client had no intention of fulfilling
his commitment.
