Let's praise the Lord.
Our ministry, our marriage Lord
Let's celebrate with joy
Because we are no more toy
Let's thank the Lord
Because He is our life, our resurrection Lord.
Lord yesterday the same
Lord today the same
Lord tomorrow the same,
Forever and ever.
Happy 40+ Anniversary and 28th Anniversary
And joy every day.
Dove love,
In Christ Jesus' love.

The one who knows sustains what he knows.
The ignorant or innocent defends their position or their opinion.
Innocent as well as ignorant are conceived in the blood and redeemed by the blood of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Our talent, our treasure, our travail are predestined to our calling and our service for God Almighty.

God seals His divinity, His trinity in His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence as well as in His identity as God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is also the God who says I am the way, the truth, and the life and I am who I am.

He is the God of the years, God of the cycles of day and night, God of the twelve step cycle of months, days, and hours. He is the God of meaning, the threefold meaning - tones, sounds, and revelation (meaning revealed) and prefix, root word, and suffix. He is the God of ex-Jesus (exegesis) and new cross Jesus (go to the cross for meaning by kneeling in prayer until you receive inspiration, meaning, revelation).

Sharing first (vertically) with God Almighty, and then sharing (horizontally) with the neighbor is securing our blessing.

The ultimate authority of God is delegated (distributed) equally, distinctly, distinguishably, and differently to parents, religious leaders, business executives, government officials. These delegated authorities have two roles: protect and reward, punish and discipline, those who are under authority. Those who are under authority have the right to appreciate or to disapprove and appeal to the ultimate authority.

Proverbs 4 (NIV)
1 Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
    pay attention and gain understanding.
2 I give you sound learning,
    so do not forsake my teaching.
3 For I too was a son to my father,
    still tender, and cherished by my mother.
4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,
    “Take hold of my words with all your heart;
    keep my commands, and you will live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding;
    do not forget my words or turn away from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
    love her, and she will watch over you.
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
    Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
    embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will give you a garland to grace your head
    and present you with a glorious crown.”
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say,
    and the years of your life will be many.
11 I instruct you in the way of wisdom
    and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
    when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
    guard it well, for it is your life.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
    or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
    turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;
    they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
    and drink the wine of violence.
18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
    shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
    they do not know what makes them stumble.
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
    turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
    keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
    and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
    fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
    and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
    keep your foot from evil.

Repenting with deeds of repentance from these two groups of fourfold sins:
- hatred, fear, guilt, inferiority complex
- betrayal, denial, silence, withdrawal
will bring us peace from above.

These threefold names:
- God of Abraham
- God of Isaac
- God of Jacob
and
- God the Father
- God the Holy Spirit
- God the Son
and
- The Way
- The Truth
- The Life
and
- Knowledge
- Understanding
- Wisdom
express the seal of God's Almighty Divinity.

Defeat is the opposite of victory.
Victory is the contrary of it.
Both of them are under God's Almighty permission.

All women are equally beautiful, distinctly God-fearing, and their husband's praise and crown.

Obedience (discipline) and wisdom bring us to agree with our disagreements.

What is it?
How is it?
How do you say it?
How do you mean it?
I didn't cross it.
I didn't erase it.
I did underline it.
I did bolden it.
I did seal it.
I did it forever.
In the name of the One who is forever.

Every pattern, every image, every life is traceable to the One who was in the Garden of Eden.
Life is not reduced to good and evil.
But life embraces good and evil.

What really puts laughter in the mouth is salvation, our fortress through God Almighty our strength.

Men and women are equally men and women.
They are equally distinct, distinguished, and different.

We must teach (educate) our children to learn how to say 'yes' with all their heart, strength, and courage, to learn to say 'no', and to learn how to wait.

Monotony is not faithfulness.
Faithfulness can include monotony, but is not reduced to it.
Monotony is one tone (faithfully).
Faithfulness is the fact to have faith (confidence, trust in oneself) in all tones, all seasons, all times (bad or good) with obedience.

Existence is nothing without presence in life.
To be means to be in presence and in existence. That is life.

Presence with essence.
No presence, no essence.
Presence with silence.
No presence, no life or absence.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known" John 1:1-18.

God's love which is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow must be the same for loving God, loving our family, loving our friends, and loving strangers and enemies, that is, unlovable people in our lives.

Wisdom teaches us to finish our outdoor work and get our fields ready, then after that to build our house (Proverbs 24:27). We must TAW - Take A Weed by a PAW - Prayer As a Weapon.

Equation has two parts, one uncoded part and the other a coded part (it can be equal to zero by subtracting one part of the equation from the other). Equation solving looks like Genesis 1:8; Acts 1:8; Hebrews 11:1.

The logic of faith expresses the reason of faith. Reasoning has its own faith to bring to evidence significance, identity, and meaning.

Perception is personal full view or sight of someone or something. Conception is a birthing process along with or around someone.

The way agrees with knowledge, understanding

Salvation is great, but it is a grace and gift from God.

Psalm 27:1-6

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation--
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life--
    of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
    to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
    above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
    I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Hebrews 5:12 - 6:3

12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.

Hebrews 10:39 - 11:3

39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

These three agree: joy, righteousness, and justice.

These three M's, ministry, marriage, and money agree with the twelve M's of our lives like the twelve tribes of Israel.

Knowledge, understanding, and wisdom agree.

Love, faith, and hope agree.

Rotten mushrooms on rotten wood give all authority to the owner of the field to use them as he wants.

He gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.

The measuring line and the plumb line frame our lives - their duration, their donation, and their legacy.

God's generosity and standard of giving are always and continually year round.

Supremacy of the Ph.D. (doctorate) is a lie, nothing but a breath.
Be humble and wise,
watch yourself and watch out for dogs
and for cats.

All whiteness is not purity, it's bi-form in nature (whitewashed tomb; brainwashed).

Questions that question evidence are embarrassing and pertinent.

Two opposite genders are the same way to represent equally and differently, humanity and completion.

We all are equally messed up, but our attitude to fix up the mess makes us great and makes the difference. This makes it again equally different (distinct, distinguished).

We must agree with our disagreements, but we must first consider God.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one;
for yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13

We receive strength to overcome the arrows of the tempter, in the name of Jesus.

Lord Jesus, walk back into every second of our lives and deliver us, where we need deliverance, heal us where we need healing, transform us where we need transformation.
Let the brush of the Lord scrub out every dirtiness in our spiritual pipes, in the name of Jesus.
O Lord, glue us together where we are opposed to ourselves.

The pattern of A = B is the same as A + x = B + x. It is the pattern of the same principle of equality.
We are equally different, distinct, distinguished of the same kind, of the same and unique Creator God Almighty.
Therefore, human beings are equally in the imagine and resemblance of God Almighty.
We are equally (such and such or so and so).
We are all equally accountable, responsible, evil, and good.

Multiplying by n equals adding together or regrouping n times.

Our Adamic nature is blasphemous and problematic.
Our Abrahamic nature is emblematic and faith-based.
Our nature of Christ is redemptive and holy.

Rectitude is the attitude to be right.
Righteous is the way to be right.
Righteousness is the fullness to be upright.

Patience is not submission, but strength that brings perfect success and complete victory.

Comparison is with reason, but not a reason
Equality determines identity, but it expresses also difference.

Reason prevails for a sound mind.
Faith is more than a conqueror for our destiny.

We kneel--and all about us seems to lower;
We rise--and all, the distant and the near,
Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear.
We kneel, how weak! We rise, how full of power! (p. 21)
Goll, J.W., (1999). Kneeling on the Promises, Grand Rapids, MI: Chosen Books.

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?" 2 Corinthians 2:14-16

No consideration is out of God's ordinances and order.
All children are equal at birth as are all aging people at old age.
Men and women of all nations and continents are all equally accountable to God Almighty.
We all matter.
Love, faith, hope, destiny, and dreams all matter.
Forgiveness and repentance with deeds matter.
Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding matter.
Water, blood, and life matter.

Altitude affects attitude.
Attitude determines altitude and action.

The me I see is Christ in me!
Now I can be all that I see.
For now I see a brand new me!
God's embassy is now in me.
All luxury, and discovery;
New melody -- my jubilee!
I've found the key. So, I decree,
That the me I see is Christ in me!
Dr. T. L. Osborne

The will of God is His supreme and ultimate ruling commandment.
The will of God is holy, and good, and just.

Acting in conformity with His will is a consideration of the order of God. Acting against God's will is not a consideration of the order of God.

God's wisdom logical pattern is: to lose is to gain; to die is to live; to give is to receive; to serve is to rule; to come out is to come into the Promised Land with milk and honey.

Marriage according to God is about covenant, gender, and humanity of those who are made in His image and His likeness.

God is the God of the form and the foundation.

Life is not a problem; it is a gift.

Repentance and forgiveness are the keys of kingdom living.

God made us for signs and wonders.

Victory enlarges us.
Defeat restrains us.

"Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity, or washed clean at night by repentance. " John Donne
"Honesty is the best policy" is a notion that's gathered some dust! Integrity has fallen on hard times in many areas of society. The qualities of honesty, truthfulness, reliability, and sincerity have often been pushed into the closet and replaced by hypocrisy, thievery, unfaithfulness, and deceit. Are we as good as our word? We must raise up the standard of integrity in a world where honor and uprightness grow ever dimmer.

Remember
0 = 0
then 0 = 1 (by common sense, by reason, or by faith)
0 = 1
Nothing is something (there is a thing not seen or ignored or out of our understanding)

To keep our integrity and our unity we must agree on our disagreements.
