Thoughts, Quotes and Scripture Songs

... that I am contemplating this morning,

preparing for the next round of spiritual battle  for the saving of souls -

that of my children

and mine.

We know this whole experience is not for the children's benefit only. 

The Lord has chosen this path for the refining of the characters of the rest of us, also.

May we all strive to be obedient 

so that we may be worthy of working side by side with God. 

For we are laborers together with God.

1 Corinthians 3:9

"'We are laborers together with God', 

He provides us with all the facilities, 

all the spiritual weapons necessary for the pulling down of Satan's strongholds. 

Present the truth as it is in Jesus. 

Let the tones of your voice express the love of God. 

Lead, but never drive. 

Approach the most obstinate in a spirit of kindness and affection. 

Dip 

your 

words 

into the oil of Grace, 

and let them flow from your lips in 

love."

{Letter 105, 1893}

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 

but mighty through God 

to the pulling down of strongholds; 

Casting down imaginations, 

and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, 

and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:4 & 5

Let your speech be always with 

grace

seasoned with a little bit of salt

that you may know how you ought to answer every one.

Colossians 4:6

Being confident of this very thing,

that He which has begun a good work in you

will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Being confident!!

Confident

of this very thing.

Philipians 1:6
