Examining the Scriptures Daily 2020

All those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.​—Acts 13:48. 

If we are patient with people in the ministry, we will not expect them to understand or accept Bible truth the first time they hear it. As an example, consider how we might reason with someone about the hope of everlasting life on a paradise earth. Many believe that death is the end of it all or that all good people go to heaven. One brother relates an approach that he finds effective. 

First, he reads Genesis 1:28. 

Then, he asks the householder where and in what conditions God wanted the human family to live. Most people answer, “On earth, in good conditions.” Next, the brother reads Isaiah 55:11 and asks whether God’s purpose has changed. Often, the householder will answer no. Finally, the brother reads Psalm 37:10, 11 and asks what mankind’s future will be like. Using this Scriptural reasoning, he has helped a number of people to understand that God still wants good people to live forever in Paradise on earth. w19.03 24 ¶14-15; 25 ¶19

Acts 13:48

When those of the nations heard this, they began to rejoice and to glorify the word of Jehovah, and all those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers

Genesis 1:28

Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it,
 and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.”

Isaiah 55:11

So my word that goes out of my mouth will be.

It will not return to me without results,

But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight,

Psalm 37:10, 11

10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more;

You will look at where they were,

And they will not be there.

11 But the meek will possess the earth,

And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Have a beautiful day.

Treasured Memories ~ The Quieter You Become

I made this a few years back from an old salvaged book. I altered the pages by adding gesso, paints and inks. By adding some embellishments, texture and stamping I created this little water world. I truly agree with the sentiment "The quieter you become the more you can hear. I love how it relates to the scriptures below.

Matthew 13:9, 11, 12

 9 Let the one who has ears listen.” 

11 In reply he said: “To you it is granted to understand the sacred secrets of the Kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not granted.   

12 For whoever has, more will be given him, and he will be made to abound; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him

Have beautiful day.

A Baby Keepsake Album

I made this baby keepsake album in 2016 for photos and to record memories, a gift for my niece Stacey and her beautiful daughter Abigail. There is much joy in giving, to think I can help put a smile on someone's face, even if for just a brief moment, makes me smile in return.

Luke 6:38

Practice giving, and people will give to you. They will pour into your laps a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing. For with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you in return.”

Acts 20:35 

‘There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’

1 Corinthians 7:7

But I wish all men were as I am. Nevertheless, each one has his own gift from God, one in this way, another in that way.

Have a beautiful day.
