Sunday Worship Hymns, 3-18-18: "THIS OLD HOUSE"

♪♫ 'THIS OLD HOUSE' ♪♫

3-17-18, Stuart Hamblen published in 1954 'THIS OLD HOUSE."  Mr Hamblen wrote and sang the song; in this video he tells of the history behind it. He was on a hunting trip and came upon an old cabin and near dead dog ... gotta admit it did bring tears to my eyes; but ended up with a joyful truth.

Nine minute video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CfQt6Z_VbA

Three minute joyful rendition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukVcl0d5xHg

Picture
Lyrics describe a "house" in a state of disrepair near it's owners impending death. It's joyful because the occupant of 'house' won't need the house as he's has graduated to Heaven.

It's a happy time for a believer in the Lord Jesus to leave this earth to be with the Lord in the home He's prepared for us. Therefore the song is sung in an upbeat style.

It may also apply to the pending departure of believers in the rapture ... although his/her earthly 'house' may not need repair - we're gettin' ready to meet the saints! Hallelujah!

Illinois: Almost as bad as California - Grand Exodus

Illinois in jaw-dropping numbers because its citizens have the unique distinction of residing in one of the worst governed and most over-taxed states in the country. 

​Illinois is many things, but no one in their right mind would move there and those unlucky enough to have been born there are moving out as fast as they can find jobs or move their businesses somewhere else. Some move as far away as Florida or Texas, but many others are content to simply haul their assets a few miles to Iowa, Wisconsin or Indiana.

​Fleeing Illinois - Washington Times
3-13-18,  They are fleeing Illinois in jaw-dropping numbers because its citizens have the unique distinction of residing in one of the worst governed and most over-taxed states in the country. They drive on roads that are falling apart and are forced to bear the costs of an incomprehensible level of state and municipal ...

They don’t flee because of the weather; Florida may have easier winters, but the neighboring Midwestern states to which so many decamp are as uncomfortable in February as Illinois. It’s not for superior cultural or even educational opportunities available to residents of Fort Wayne or Des Moines either; with wonderful museums, a great symphony and world renowned art galleries, Chicago is and always has been an internationally recognized cultural center and Illinois’ universities and colleges are as good as any.

Scripture for Today, 3-16-18: Watch & Pray For Jesus' Coming

3/16/2018

Watch Mark 13:33-37; King Coming in Power Revelation 19:11

The Importance of Watching
​ for the Lord Jesus’ Return

3-16-18, Annette -- The scriptures telling us we can know when Jesus is at the doors [Mark 13:29] keeps us excited eagerly awaiting the speculations of possible times He may appear; this of course is controversial and many warn that we may be harming the body of Christ when the potential ‘dates’ come and go and we are not raptured as speculated. Alas, I disagree, therefore I share this message. My personal experience hearing of the soon coming of the Lord and that I may be left behind - caused me to research and read the Holy Bible coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus. Yes, in 1976 I repented of my sin and was born again because I thought Jesus would come any minute! Becoming a Christian is the best thing I have ever done; now at age 75 I have peace knowing of my eternal future with God.

In the Old Testament Amos 3:7 tells us that God doesn’t keep secrets from His servants. The Rapture of the Church [Jesus snatching us away] is a very ‘secretive’ event Christians for over 2000 years have eagerly yearned for. It’s happened before with Enoch & Elijah when God took them to heaven without them dying; see Genesis 5:23-24; Malachi 4:5-6; 2 Kings 2:11.

Revelation 3:3 tell us that if we're not watching we may miss Jesus' arrival and our own participation in the rapture. 


Believers are not in darkness: 1 Thess 5:4-6 "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." There are many scriptures stating that we can know the approximate time of King Jesus’ return are:

​1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

Revelation 3:3
Matthew 16:3
Hebrews 10:25
Luke 21:28
The importance of WATCHING cannot be overstated. Jesus said: 
“Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."  
Mark 13:33-17

Faked News from New York Post and Times
Natl Geographic Explains How Kelly Twins
DNA Did Not Change

National Geographic: No, Scott Kelly's Year in Space Didn't Mutate His DNA - Scores of stories reporting that Kelly’s DNA is substantially different now are missing some basic facts ...
 3-15-18, Seven percent of Kelly’s DNA is not mutated after his year in space, which makes sense if you keep in mind that humans and chimps have genetic sequences that differ by less than 2 percent, and individual humans—even completely unrelated strangers—differ by about 0.1 percent.
Here’s how this works. Genetic sequences are like strings of letters arranged just so, and they are in charge of producing proteins. Mutate the wrong letter, or sequence of letters, and it can be mildly annoying, like our favorite ducking autocorrect, or it can be extremely bad news, like the mutations that allow tumors to proliferate. Most mutations, however, go unnoticed (the one that confer superpowers are a different story).
Expression levels, on the other hand, reflect whether genes are turned on or turned off. Within each of us, most of our cells are otherwise genetically identical, but their genes are expressed at different levels. It’s those patterns of expression that produce hearts, brains, eyeballs, and other things, kind of like using the same set of ingredients to cook up vastly different dishes. More here​

​The truth about astronaut Scott Kelly’s viral ‘space genes’
3-16-18, Washington Post -- [A]rticles claiming that the mission activated Kelly's “space genes,” that 7 percent of his genes didn't return to normal post-spaceflight, and that he and Mark are no longer identical twins..... these stories are biologically impossible. If 7 percent of Kelly's genome was altered, he would be about as different from a human as a rhesus monkey. ... Your genome dwells inside the nuclei of your cells. Think of it as an instruction manual: It is the complete set of DNA that describes the form and function of every aspect of your being, with each gene pertaining to a particular task life requires.

Update on Sweetwater Bridge Collapse 
​***
Was Politics or Affirmative Action in Play in the Choosing of the Florida Bridge Designer?

Picture
3-16-18, Celebrated leading visionary bridge engineer Atorod Azizinamini [immigrant?], whose ABC (Accelerated Bridge Construction) technology was used to build the bridge that collapsed Mar 15, 2018 on Florida International University’s campus, was named an Obama era Department of Transportation ‘Champion of Change’ in 2015.  

The Accelerated Bridge Construction University Transportation at FIU really took wing through Barack Obama’s economic stimulus: “The pedestrian bridge that collapsed at Florida International University’s Miami-Dade campus today, killing several people, was funded with $11.4 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. The TIGER program has come under repeated fire for awarding money based on politics rather than merit." reason.com reports that in 2013, the FIU was awarded $11.4 million in TIGER money for its University City Prosperity Project, which included the pedestrian bridge. Some 52 projects were awarded $458 million in that round of TIGER grants—known as TIGER V—using methodology that was later criticized by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) for violating DOT’s own standards. “In 2014, the GAO released a report that was highly critical of how DOT handled the TIGER V grants, which included money for the FIU pedestrian bridge project. The report said DOT advanced projects with lower technical ratings in lieu of those with higher technical ratings and upgraded the technical rating of 19 projects from acceptable or recommended to highly recommended without documenting a justification. 

“DOT staff are tasked with evaluating all applications to the TIGER program for how closely they adhere to several “desired long-term transportation outcomes,” including economic competitiveness, state of good repair, livability, environmental sustainability and safety. Each project is assigned a rating that ranges from acceptable to highly recommended. 
Much will be made in coming days that FIGG Bridge Group designed the bridge and that it was constructed by MCM Construction, in the aftermath of the bridge’s collapse. However, it was totally Azizinamini's bridge technology:

On Saturday, March 10, 2018, Atorod Azizinamini said in a press release: “This bridge is the result of great support from our congressional delegation and the U.S. Department of Transportation.”
=================


time.com - FIU Bridge Collapse Has Left at Least Six Dead
3-16-18, The cables that suspended a newly-installed pedestrian bridge at Florida International University were being tightened following a “stress test” when the structure collapsed Thursday, killing six people and trapping multiple cars underneath. Munilla Construction, one of the companies that worked on the bridge. According to AP, the firm was fined in 2012 after a 90-ton section of a bridge collapsed onto railroad tracks in Virginia, injuring several workers. The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry found that FIGG failed to regularly inspect a girder that it had modified without informing the manufacturer, and did not provide adequate training according to a The Virginian-Pilot. MCM has also been fined more than $50,000 for 11 safety violations over the past five years, according to Occupational Safety Health Administration records. More here and More here


Florida bridge that collapsed was touted as 'engineering feat come to life another 'Titanic?'
The pedestrian bridge was intended to provide a safe passage for students from Florida International University [FIU] ... The release quotes Atorod Azizinamini, the 'Father' of the Sweetwater bridge: "It will be the largest pedestrian bridge move via a Self-Propelled Modular Transportation (SPMT) in U.S. history. Building the major element of the bridge – its main span superstructure – outside of the traveled way and away from busy Eighth Street is a milestone."

In 2013 US Pres Obama's Military Coup Purges 197 Officers In Five Years
10-29-13, Investors Business Daily -- Nine senior commanding generals have been fired by Obama in 2013 alone. Nary a peep out of the mainstream media... Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, notes how ...What the president calls "my military" is being cleansed of any officer suspected of disloyalty to or disagreement with the administration on matters of policy or force structure, leaving the compliant and fearful. We recognize President Obama is the commander-in-chief and that throughout history presidents from Lincoln to Truman have seen fit to remove military commanders they view as inadequate or insubordinate. Turnover in the military ranks is normal, and in these times of sequestration and budget cuts the numbers are expected to tick up as force levels shrink and missions change. Yet what has happened to our officer corps since Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling and even harmful to our national security.

Mark 13:35-37

***
​The Serious Business of Heaven
***
“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.”

Picture
Luke 15:7
 
3-15-18, Greg Laurie*  -- Sometimes people wonder whether those in Heaven know what is taking place on earth. Some would say no. But I beg to differ. I think Heaven is aware of what happens on earth.
 
However, I don't think our loved ones are sitting in Heaven, watching everything we do. But I do think there is an awareness of what is going on.  Scriptures tell us when someone comes to faith in Christ and they repent of their sins, there is rejoicing in Heaven (Luke 15:10). Whenever there is a sinner is born again on earth, there is a party in Heaven. Jesus cares. Luke 15:5-6 

Hebrews 12:2 "for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
 
What was that joy? It was us. We were the joy. We were the prize. We were the treasure. We were the goal He went after and laid it all down for. Even while we were sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
 
Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Saving Lives? How About Saving Unborn Babies Lives?
School Walkout for Gun Control - BUT OH NO! Not for Pro Life Views - Teacher Suggested it and was summarily placed on leave!

3-15-18, Rocklin High School, Sacratmento, California teacher, Ms  Julianne Benzel said all she did was have a conversation with her class about the “politics of protest” — a lesson ahead of yesterday’s school walkouts. The school placed her on leave. “I just kind of used the example which I know it’s really controversial, but I know it was the best example I thought of at the time—a group of students nationwide, or even locally, decided ‘I want to walk out of school for 17 minutes’ and go in the quad area and protest abortion, would that be allowed by our administration?” She insists she “never discouraged her students from participating” in the anti gun demonstration, but considered the propriety of a (public) school supporting some protests … but not others. 

American public schools shouldn't pick and choose the ideology of the student protests in which they're allowed to engage. If a demonstration about gun violence and the Second Amendment is acceptable to administrators, then a pro-life anti abortion killing walkout should be deemed same.

Florida Tragedy Again, 3-14-18: Bridge Collapsed Killing Many

Florida University [FIU] Sweetwater University City Bridge -  Just Four Days Old - Collapsed Killing Many

3-15-18, * – The Sweetwater City University Bridge went up on Saturday, 3/10/18, lowered into its final position … and on 3/14/18 - just four days after connecting a college campus to a nearby residential area over eight lanes of highway … it collapsed, killing several people.

Reporting on the collapse of Florida International University’s (FIU) massive new pedestrian bridge, Miami-Dade Police Chief Juan Perez said 8 people have been taken to the hospital and eight vehicles are stuck under the bridge and the number of dead is undetermined. “At this point, we can’t even tell how many cars are under there. We won’t have a count on bodies for a while. It’s bad. It’s really bad. The cars were stopped at a signal light; there were no warning signs. It looks like it just came down.”

Earlier this month FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg statement said that the 174-foot, 950-ton section of the bridge was built to the side of where it was eventually rotated over eight lanes of the highway, according to a press release announcing the installation of the bridge and was an engineering feat. "It will be the largest pedestrian bridge move via a Self-Propelled Modular Transportation (SPMT) in U.S. history. FIU is about building bridges and student safety. This project accomplishes our mission beautifully.

The bridge was designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and have a design life that would exceed 100 years. The bridge cost $14.2 million and its funding came as part of a $19.4 million grant from the U.S. Dept of Transportation.

Scripture for Today, 3-14-18: One True God

3/14/2018

​The One Real God

“For all the gods of the nations are idols:
but the LORD made the heavens.”

Psalm 96:5

3-12-18, Henry Morris, PhD -- As the apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian Christians, “though there be [many] that are called gods, . . . to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him” (1 Corinthians 8:5-6).

Every person has his own “god”; even atheists order their lives by some principle of their own choosing that thus becomes in effect their “god”! There are multitudes of others who follow various other gods. For example, the Hindus have almost innumerable gods. Muslims, on the other hand, strongly argue for just one god, whom they call Allah, but it was not Allah who “made the heavens.” The truth revealed in the Bible is that it was God’s “dear Son” by whom “were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth” (Colossians 1:13, 16). Allah denies that he even has a Son, and he calls those who believe otherwise (meaning Christians) infidels. The Koran is alleged to consist of the verbally inspired words of Allah, but it (and therefore Allah) also denies the Trinity, as well as the death and resurrection of Christ, and so also denies that the Son of God provides salvation for all who believe on Him. That is more than enough to prove that Allah is not the God of the Bible.

In our text above, the word “idols” simply means “vanities.” It is all “in vain” to put one’s faith for eternity in a false god. The Lord Jesus alone, having created all things and paid the awful price to redeem all things, can truly provide eternal salvation. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). He Himself verified that “I am the way, . . . no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

Scripture for Today, 3-13-18: How Long Lord?

3/13/2018

The Question Nags and Hounds Us:
"How Much Longer Lord?"

3-12-18, * -- Most of us ask God, “How much longer will this current world-gone-mad continue?“ It feels like we are at the end, but then days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and months into years. What if 2018 comes and goes and we’re still here? All the while, the world continues in its never-ending speed crushing and grinding down everything good and decent. It feels like the insane were given the keys to the “bus” and are hell-bent on driving us off a cliff. If you have ever had any of these thoughts, you're not alone. The answer to these questions are summed up in two key thoughts:
  • Can we trust God?
  • Can we trust the Bible?
If the answer is yes to both, [and it is] then we must understand that God doesn’t do anything unintentionally. Although we may not know the future, it’s not hidden from God (Isaiah 46:9-10).  God, in His infinite wisdom, gave us hope in the form of His Son and His prophetic word. (Revelation 1:18). Believers have no fear of death and have hope and peace trusting God while we remain on this earth. 1 Peter 1:19-21; Psalm 138:2 There are signs serving as assurances concerning the time surrounding His coming:
  • The world would be given-over to deception 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 - Jesus acknowledges at present, the ruler of this world is coming. Paul calls him the ‘god of this age,’ who deceives and blinds the whole world. Peter calls him the “roaring lion John 14:30; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2, 6:12; 1 Peter 5:8; 1 John 2:18, 22, 4:23; 2 John 1:7
  • As in the days of Noah and Lot so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: Luke 17:26-30 The current world mocks and scoffs at the ideas of biblical creation, a global flood, a place like Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed for sexual perversity. The world is given over to intentional demonic spiritual blindness that refuses to accept the truth. Because of this, like righteous Lot, we too are oppressed and tormented by the unrighteousness that currently surrounds us. 2 Peter 2:7-9
  • Faith in God is fading Luke 18:6-8 The overwhelming majority in the world have rejected Him and His word. Only a small remnant is true to His name. These have little strength and influence in the world at the time of the Rapture.
In conclusion, God created the world and the universe. For Satan to convince people to reject their Creator, Satan has to construct false narratives about who we are, where we came from and where we're going after we die.; his only weapon is deception. Thus, we groan under the oppressive and antagonistic system we're currently under.

The question will not go away. How much longer? It nags at us. It hounds us. For those who are watching and waiting for His return, it consumes us; as it should. We cannot conclusively say that we have X number of months or years left; but we can easily see the Light at the end of the tunnel. Even So, Maranatha!

Reducing Red Tape 
2010, The private sector and the local government have different reasonsfor undertaking a red tape reduction exercise.

The Wicked Heart and Encouragement

Picture
3-12-18, Bill Wilson, Daily Jot -- There is consistency in what is written in the Bible about the heart of man.
  • Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
  • Mark 7:21-23, Christ says, "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within and defile a man."
  • Christ also said in Matthew 12:35, "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things."
The hearts of America's citizens define much of our society. If wickedness prevails in the heart, what then can good men do to legislate good? There is no end to the evil men do to one another. School shootings, nursing home killings, abortions, murders, racism, bigotry, sexual crimes and domestic violence are commonplace in our society.

Politicians try to solve the problems with symbolic window dressing, but no matter their intentions, the problems remain. All we have to do to see where things stand is turn on the big three television networks in prime time. Sexual innuendo, violence, crime, gunplay is about all you see unless you are watching reality programs that also promote deceit, sexual immorality, coarse humor and human turmoil.
 
You see, we live in a society that has become very dark.

However, what did Christ say about our responsibility as His disciples?

He said in Matthew 5:13-16, "You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Also Ephesians 5:1, 8-10

 
In quoting these scriptures, I want you to see that although the heart is wicked and the world is a dark and evil place, light overcomes darkness. Your heart, words and actions are examples for others to have a change of heart, to accept the gift of salvation. In a sense, we are the warriors of heart to heart combat that others might have eternal life and also become a light unto the world. 

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day! Source
