His praise shall continue to be in my mouth ... whether I feel like a sinner or saint ... when I have abundance or when I have need ... whether it is raining or sunny, windy or calm, snowing or hot ... when I am being attacked or when I am safe ... I will sing to the LORD and dance day or night ... I will praise my Creator and Savior! Let us sing to our Father, let us sing to His Son, let us sing to His Spirit!!! Hallelujah!!!

Time (18 August 2014) reports that Chinese officials have removed crosses from churches as a campaign against public symbols of Christianity.
In Australia some churches made already discarded any sign of the cross from outside and inside their buildings.
No point in the Australian Christian church complaining against the Chinese, here in Australia the Christian church is actively discarding the cross itself.
The scripture James 2: 18 seems very prophetic. "I will show you my faith by my works".

This is the Bible my grandparents gave me when I was 9. It's King James Version. I needed a shot like this for my newsletter so decided to create my own rather than search for one.
I do not think I have ever seen a morning sky quite as vivid as this morning from our bedroom window.
The sun was just about to rise. The sky appeared as though someone had draped curtains across it and were pulling them back.
Matthew 16 2-3
He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,'and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
Typical holy scriptures in the Pelkor Chöde monastary of Gyantse in Tibet.
Copies of the holy scriptures are found in most monastaries.
They say you can gain knowledge by crawling in the space underneath the bokshelves. Some of the wisdom of all the books above you will then come to you. How I wish it worked the same way with my French grammar book. I seem to have gained no knowledge by sleeping with that book over my face. ;-)
Blog | Google+ | Facebook | A Buddhist monk calmly chants from a scripture book in Haeinsa Temple, South Korea. The sounds of chanting that drift from the main hall are mesmerising, and it felt such a privilege to be permitted not only to observe the pious lives of the Jewel Temple's resident monks, but also to photograph them as they went about their daily rituals.
Psalm 39:4,5 NKJV " LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am. Indeed, You have made my days as handbreaths, And my age is as nothing before you; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor."
Psalm 90:12 " So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
--------------------------------------------
Life moves fast, and we are only here for a little while. We are not promised tomorrow, or even the next hour. We must walk wisely while here on earth. Oftentimes we take our days for granted until we lose a loved one, or we have some near-death experience for ourselves. It is in those moments of self-examination that we should ask ourselves some questions.
First and most important is : Have I truly surrendered my life to Christ? Have I trusted Jesus as my Lord and savior? Does my relationship with Christ hold top priority, or do I let other things get in the way?
Then we may ask: Who or what do I let influence my thoughts and actions in a day? Do I spend more time on social media reading the world's opinion, or do I spend time reading God's word looking for wisdom? There are plenty of people willing to voice their opinion on any given topic, And we need the help of the Holy Spirit to discern the good from the bad.
Finally we ask ourselves: Who am I influencing with my thoughts and actions? We have a lot of eyes and ears on us everyday of our lives. Our actions at home will influence our spouse, children, or siblings. When at work we will influence co-workers and customers with our language, and actions. At school, we may influence staff, and our friends. When we meet perfect strangers in public, in the grocery store, or the big box stores, our behavior and our words can make an impression on anyone there. We could be viewed as angry, impatient, complaining, always finding fault in everything. Or we could be viewed as patient, compassionate, always willing to help when possible, tough, but loving, and understanding.
We don't know how much time we have on earth, But we do know it is limited.
{ James 4:14} " Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." ------------ I say; Life is short, Walk wisely!
