Psalm 23 King James Version
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

The Book of Revelation, soon coming down the pike.
Revelation 22:18-19: I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
John 6: 9
2Ti 3:16 πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγχον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη
2Ti 3:17 ινα αρτιος η ο του θεου ανθρωπος προς παν εργον αγαθον εξηρτισμενος.
Textus Receptus (Scrivener) 1894
The Scripture is given by inspiration of God.
Take note of the word "Theopneustos" in verse 16, it means: God-inspired, God-breath, and or God-spirited.
That the Bible which is the "Scripture" is Inerrant, Infallible and Authoritative.
The only basis of Christian Faith.
The only "tool" to be used against wrong teachings.
The only "sword" to be used against the "wiles of the devil"
The only word to be used in evangelism.
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Romans 11: 33 (KJV)
Jesus said:
"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".
John 14: 2
How big is God's computer He used to direct and track the Star of Bethlehem before and after the birth of Jesus?
The wise men left Herod’s chambers and went on their way. The star they had first seen in the East reappeared—a miracle that, of course, overjoyed and enraptured the wise men. The star led them to the house where Jesus lay.
Matthew 2: 9-10 (The Voice)
The reality is God does not have a computer, He has His fingers.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psalm 8:3-4 (KJV)
Some people wanted to see a bit of colour after yesterday's mono daisies, so here you go :)
Someone gave Mum a lovely bouquet of carved wooden rose buds, and I set them against the window and did a high contrast edit in GIMP. (you can tell I'm thinking of snow LOL)
I've used a texture by Sarai Fotography called first snow texture and of course added a verse of Scripture - this one from Colossians chapter 3 and verse 17 states very clearly that whatever we do or say, we should be honouring and glorifying the Lord Jesus.
I wish you all a very blessed and peaceful Sunday :)
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments on my recent uploads, I'm behind as usual and will endeavour to catch up as soon as I can :)
The Christmas story as told in the Gospel of Luke (King James version). This Bible was given to me by my maternal grandparents when I was a young child & is the first version from which I read & memorized scripture. Merry Christmas!
Isaiah 43 verse 18
"Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old". (KJV)
"Do not remember the old things, God says, as if you had eyes for nothing but what happened long ago" (Knox)
"No need to recall the past, no need to think what was done before" (Jerusalem Bible)
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Psalm 143: 6 (KJV)
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
"be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive".
Ephesians 4: 14 (KJV)
Romans 5: 1 (KJV)
Therefore being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
When is humanity going to cotton on to this truth that it is this simple and profound.
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, and the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26: 41
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121: 1-2 King James Version
This new Bible arrived yesterday, I ordered it from America. It's a facsimile copy of the Authorised Version* of 1611, most of which was printed in black letter type. I have a fair number of different versions of the Bible including several copies of the Authorised Version but I fancied having one which looked like the real 1611 translation.
* In America this is called the King James Version
"Thou rules the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise thou stillest them" Psalm 89: 9 (King James Version)
Marie M. Barclay Taliaferro (25 July 1858 – 15 February 1893)
Matthew 5:8 King James Version
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
This lovely memorial sculpture, inscribed with the Taliaferro family name, depicts an angel delicately gesturing toward a cross. While very beautiful, it is distressing to note that this elegantly sculpted piece has suffered quite a bit of damage, particularly on the hands and on the tops of the wings.
You may remember this cemetery from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
The word "lovely' appears in the New Testament (King James Version) only one, in Philippians 4: 8.
It is translated in other versions into different words: kind, peaceable, acceptable, friendly, sweet, admirable, pleasing, gracious, beauty.
In the Old Testament (King James Version) is appears 3 times.
2 Samuel 1: 23 speaking of the pleasant friendship of Saul and Jonathan.
Song of Solomon 5: 16 where the Bride describes her Bridegroom as lovely.
Ezekiel 33: 32 where God describes the words of Ezekiel as enticing and amorous.
This word speaks of virtue and character. Think about it.
"And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan". Mark 1: 9 (KJV)
This window was erected to commemorate the deliverance from the shipwreck of the "SS City of Launceston".
On 19 November 1865, CITY OF LAUNCESTON (Capt. William Thom) was on voyage from Melbourne to Launceston with a cargo of sundries, incl. brandy, port, rum, cigars, tea and boots, when she was lost after a collision with the ship PENOLA in Port Phillip Bay.

-Psalm 23:1 KJV
makes me feel that i will NEVER be alone....someone is always watching over me....
Psa 63:1 A Psalm of David When He Was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
Psa 63:2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.
Psa 63:1 -
O God, thou art my God - The words here rendered God are not the same in the original. The first one - אלהים 'Elohiym - is in the plural number, and is the word which is usually employed to designate God Gen_1:1; the second - אל 'Êl - is a word which is very often applied to God with the idea of strength - a strong, a mighty One; and there is probably this underlying idea here, that God was the source of his strength, or that in speaking of God as his God, he was conscious of referring to him as Almighty. It was the divine attribute of power on which his mind mainly rested when he spoke of him as his God. He did not appeal to him merely as God, with no reference to a particular attribute; but he had particularly in his eye his power or his ability to deliver and save him. In Psa_22:1, where, in our version, we have the same expression, “My God, my God,” the two words in the original are identical, and are the same which is used here - אל 'Êl - as expressive of strength or power. The idea suggested here is, that in appealing to God, while we address him as our God, and refer to his general character as God, it is not improper to have in our minds some particular attribute of his character - power, mercy, love, truth, faithfulness, etc. - as the special ground of our appeal.
Early will I seek thee - The word used here has reference to the early dawn, or the morning; and the noun which is derived from the verb, means the aurora, the dawn, the morning. The proper idea, therefore, would be that of seeking God in the morning, or the early dawn; that is, as the first thing in the day. Compare the notes at Isa_26:9. The meaning here is, that he would seek God as the first thing in the day; first in his plans and purposes; first in all things. He would seek God before other things came in to distract and divert his attention; he would seek God when he formed his plans for the day, and before other influences came in, to control and direct him. The favor of God was the supreme desire of his heart, and that desire would be indicated by his making him the earliest - the first - object of his search. His first thoughts - his best thoughts - therefore, he resolved should be given to God. A desire to seek God as the first object in life - in youth - in each returning day - at the beginning of each year, season, month, week - in all our plans and enterprises - is one of the most certain evidences of true piety; and religion flourishes most in the soul, and flourishes only in the soul, when we make God the first object of our affections and desires.
My soul thirsteth for thee - See the notes at Psa_42:2.
My flesh longeth for thee - All my passions and desires - my whole nature. The two words - “soul” and “flesh,” are designed to embrace the entire man, and to express the idea that he longed supremely for God; that all his desires, whether springing directly from the soul, or the needs of the body, rose to God as the only source from which they could be gratified.
In a dry and thirsty land - That is, As one longs for water in a parched desert, so my soul longs for God. The word thirsty is in the margin, as in Hebrew, weary. The idea is that of a land where, from its parched nature - its barrenness - its rocks - its heat - its desolation - one would be faint and weary on a journey.
Where no water is - No running streams; no gushing fountains; nothing to allay the thirst.
Albert Barnes 1798-1870
I didn't believe it when someone said you can buy a basic paperback Bible at Dollar Tree for $1.25 + tax. But it's true, they had a small stack of white paperback Bibles too. I bought this black one today at Dollar Tree today to have as a quick reference at work. But look where it's made: China. I wonder if the Chinese communist government would ever allow Bibles to be printed in Mandarin for their own citizens to read. I'm rather surprised the printing of any language Bible would be allowed in China. At bottom of the last chapter, Revelation 22, it says "The End". Funny!
Oh, and, this is the classic 1611 King James translation, not the "Nearly Inspired Version" (NIV) Bible. 😀
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live" Deuteronomy 30: 19. KJV
העברים
4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
And I will make them and the places
round about my hill a blessing;
and I will cause the shower to
come down in his season;
there shall be showers of blessing.
Ezekiel 34:26 (King James Version)
"the Ancient of Days came, and judgement was given to the saints of the most High and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom". Daniel 7: 22
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

Photograph comes from my slide collection of the late 1970s.
Alexander Robert Lawton (November 5, 1818-July 2, 1896): Overlooking the picturesque Wilmington River, the Lawton family plot includes a sculpture of Jesus standing beside a grand arched gateway. Sculpted by Professor R. Romanellit in Florence Italy. Alexander R. Lawton was an important figure in Savannah's history, having held the positions of lawyer, President of the Augusta and Savannah Railroad, Brigadier General in the Army of the Confederacy, politician and President of the American Bar Association.
(1 Peter 3:7) - heirs together of the grace of life (King James Version). Is the inscription on the monument.
Another lovely sculpture depicts his eldest daughter, Corinne Elliott Lawton (born September 21, 1846, died January 24, 1877), sitting gracefully beside a cross. The pedestal is inscribed with the words:
Allured to brighter worlds
and led the way.
You may remember this cemetery from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Sadly this does not contain a record of my family or anyone else's. My father was given it just over fifty years ago. It is dated 1864 and contains lots of rather good steel engravings.
It's big, it weighs about sixteen pounds. When I first uploaded this photo I found that there were nearly sixteen thousand photos on flickr with the tag 'bible' but this was the only one, out of millions of photos, with the tag 'Authorised Version' * There were twenty-seven with the tag "King James Version"
(The table and the stool were made by my father.)
*Now there are more - but some are of quite unrelated things where people copy the tags from one photo to another and don't trouble to delete the inappropriate ones :(

Luke 2:10-14 (King James Version)
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Took this picture awhile back when birding Canaveral area. John is still in Greece so I'm still sending the Sunday School lessons along to him via internet.
(Luke 20:1a) “And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel…”
A.) Jesus had cleansed the temple of the vendors and moneychangers.
1.) Now in these last few days before His betrayal and crucifixion Jesus teaches in the temple.
2.) Jesus does not just teach, but notice, the Bible said that He also preached the Gospel.
a.) The Greek word for Gospel, (Euaggalizo), from which we get “Evangelize” is defined as “Announce Good News”.
b.) God’s Word clearly delineates between teaching and preaching.
3.) Jesus taught many different things to the people over the course of His ministry; (As Luke here says He did in those last days.)
a.) The golden rule, humility, and how to pray, just name three;
(Luke 6:31) And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
(Luke 14:8) When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
(Luke 11:2-4) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
4.) Jesus also preached the Gospel to them throughout His ministry.
(John 6:35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
(John 6:47) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
(John 7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(John 11:25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
(John 14:1-3) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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.
(John 14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(Luke 20:1b-2) “…the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?”
A.) While Jesus was teaching and preaching in the temple the head men of the Jews came to Him with this question.
1.) “Where do you get the power and authority to come in here and usurp our authority and power?”
a.) The people wanted Jesus for King, the leaders wanted to keep the status quo.
b.) Even though the Romans ruled militarily, they allowed these Jewish leaders to continue their own little fiefdom.
c.) This was their biggest problem, Jesus was a threat to their prestige, power, and position.
(Luke 20:3-4) And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
(Matthew 21:24) And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
A.) Jesus poses a test for them, which if they pass He will in turn answer their query.
1.) Remember where they are;
a.) They’re in the temple surrounded by Jesus’ followers.
b.) Many of whom have been with him since John Baptist’s ministry and subsequent death.
c.) These folk have seen the miracles, accepted the preaching, and heard the teaching.
d.) This is not a crowd that the leaders can trifle with.
(Luke 20:5-6) And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
A.) John had been a prophet with the people from his youth, they had great respect for him.
1.) The people held his memory with great regard.
B.) The priests, Pharisees, politicos, and pitiful pretenders were not stupid.
1.) They knew exactly how the people felt about John.
C.) They were between the proverbial “Rock and a hard spot.”
1.) The hard spot was John, the Rock was, of course, Jesus.
(Luke 20:7-8) And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
A.) The fact is, that their question was already answered by Jesus previously, and coincidentally, when speaking of John.
(John 5:36) But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
(Luke 20:9) Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
A.) Jesus doesn’t really change the subject here when He starts this parable.
1.) The parable is aimed directly at the men who have been questioning Him.
a.) The “certain man” is God the Father.
b.) The “vineyard” is kingdom of God.
c.) The “husbandmen” is Israel.
d.) The “far country” is heaven.
e.) The “long time” is Israel’s time to up to the parable.
(Luke 20:10-12) And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
A.) The certain man sends servants to get fruit from the vineyard.
1.) The “servants” are the prophets.
2.) The “fruit” is growth in God’s kingdom.
B.) We know from the history of the O.T. that, with very few notable bright spots, Israel grew methodically away from God.
1.) She bore no fruit in the world, and in fact, the vine became an eyesore.
(Luke 20:13) Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
A.) God the “certain man and lord of the vineyard” asks Himself a question; “What am I going to do now?”
1.) Here is God’s problem; He loves mankind, and He is not willing that any should perish. II Peter 3:9
a.) God wants to see fruit in His vineyard. Souls for His kingdom.
B.) The “certain man, the lord of the vineyard” decides to send his beloved son whom he hopes will be respected by the husbandmen.
1.) The “beloved son” is, of course Jesus.
(Luke 20:14) But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
A.) The husbandmen do not want to bow to the authority of the “lord of the vineyard” they want the power and the kingdom for themselves.
1.) Their decision is to kill the son.
2.) Their logic is that the “lord of the vineyard” will give up on his desire for fruit.
a.) They believe that if they just get rid of the “son” they can continue with the “status quo” and their “little fiefdom”.
B.) Thus far in the parable Jesus has laid the groundwork for what will happen in the next few days in Jerusalem.
(Luke 20:15a) “So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him…”
A.) The husbandmen kill the son.
(Luke 23:20-21) Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
(Luke 20:15b-16a) "…What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others…”
A.) Jesus asks a question and answers it Himself;
1.) The “lord of the vineyard” will destroy the “husbandmen” and let out the “vineyard” to other caretakers.
(Luke 20:16b) “…And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.”
A.) The men that the parable is aimed at miss the point completely.
1.) They judge the husbandmen’s actions to be horrible, shake their heads, and say; “God forbid such a thing to happen to that certain lord’s business and family.”
B.) Jesus, on the other hand, decides to quote Scripture to them which He knows will help them to “get the point”.
(Luke 20:17-18) And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
A.) Jesus uses the Sword of the Word of God in both Psalm 118:22 & Daniel 2:34-35 to send the point of the blade home.
(Psalms 118:22) The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
(Daniel 2:34-35) Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
B.) Look back at the first part of verse 16;
1.) In Matthew’s account of this scene he records Jesus as saying this as well;
(Matthew 21:43) Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
a.) The “nation” is the Church, and we must not fail in our duty to bear fruit to God.
(Luke 20:19) And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
A.) Those in power would like to have taken Jesus away right then and there, but were powerless because of the people.
Couldn't think what to do today and was listening to BBC Radio 4 where they are celebrating the 400th anniversary of the King Jame's Bible. Coming from a tradition that will countenance no other version and still having a personal liking for the powerful language of the KJV I thought what better picture to take. Don't always do what it says but the words were very moving hearing it read. The story of Ruth was read - what more haunting words than - '..for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people and thy God my God....' Just a lovely sentiment of loyalty, trust and companionship. Anyway I liked it and thank radio 4 for the readings. Hope it's not too pious but hey why not!
