Heart of Worship

    Many might agree that children are one of God's greatest gifts.Here's to all the lucky parents who get to experience love - for for their children! And God's love for us!




  "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."     Romans 14: 17-19

Love and Wisdom

  "The Lord liveth;
  and blessed be my rock;
  And exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation:
  Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,  
  And bringeth down peoples under me,
  And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies:

 Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

  Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king: And sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed"

   " Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.   "  from Paul's letters to the Romans


Love and Wisdom are the two essentials of all things of man's life;
everything of that life, civil, moral, and spiritual, hinges upon these 
two, and apart from these two is nothing. 
 
It is the same with all things of the life of a society, larger or smaller, 
a kingdom, an empire, a church, and also the angelic heaven. Take away love and 
wisdom from these, and consider whether they be anything, and you will find that 
apart from love and wisdom as their origin they are nothing.

   Love together with wisdom in its very essence is in God. This no one can deny; 
for God loves every one from love in Himself, and leads every one from wisdom in 
Himself. The created universe, too, viewed in relation to its order, is so full of 
wisdom coming forth from love that all things in the aggregate may be said to be 
wisdom itself. 
 
For things limitless are in such order, successively and simultaneously, 
that taken together they make a one. It is from this, and this alone, that they 
can be held together and continually preserved.

   It is because the Divine Essence itself is Love and Wisdom that man has two 
capacities for life; from one of these he has understanding, from the other will. 
 
The capacity from which he has understanding derives everything it has from 
the influx of wisdom from God, and the capacity from which he has will derives 
everything it has from the influx of love from God.

May Heaven Go With You

Do two things worth doing, every day.
 
Be scrupulously polite and kind, rather than witty or entertaining.

Cherish cleanliness, sobriety, frugality and contentment.  

Cultivate sweetness of disposition and tranquillity of mind.

Think before speaking, and so reduce your causes of regret.

Seek peace and be peaceable.   


Begin at home, let home always find you faithfully on duty.

Care carefully for those whom Providence has entrusted to your care.  

And the reward of the faithful will abundantly yours,

And your heaven will go with you wherever you go.

Journey to Success

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy." Proverbs 31: 10 - 20

    An old saying goes like this - "Behind every good man is a great woman"

Find a good woman to share your journey. Explore, Enjoy, and Learn together!

The journey to success is a long, often trying road.  Enjoy the ride!

Grace and Godliness

"Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;   whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.

  Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;  and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness;  and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.

 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

 Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:  for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."  2 Peter 1: 2-11

Virtue


"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 

 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."  Proverbs 31: 8-12
