Who are we in Christ? Eph. chapters one and two explain this pretty well. I wont post it all here, but please find a version of the bible you read it, and find understanding of this for yourself. Here are some verses from chapter 1.
Eph. 1:19 (kjv)-And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20-Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

I find it rather ironic that "some" people think guns incite violence. There is plenty of violence without guns in this country. These groups are not going to stir up white supremacy hate nor violence, but the FACT that we have CONSTITUTIONAL rights. That's unless this isn't the United States anymore.
Are they worried about another civil war? Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ may we remember this is one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all, because people are forgetting this. Amen.

29 of the 56 signers of the American Constitution held seminary degrees, and 37 of them held strong Christian convictions. THIS is the government that they all warned us about, and why it was written the way it was from THEN.
Those of you Christian readers need to PRAY for America, and the gun rally in Richmond.

The next time you are going around the house to gather the trash, do you remember to take it all out to the curb? Well remember that God can take your spiritual garbage, so leave it on the prayer roadside. He has you in his hands always even if you have forgotten this fact. Let the bags of refuse go. Then you can shine and glow like the light in the world our Father in the name of his Son Jesus Christ wants you to be. Then you can try your best to please him, even if you know sometimes you will fail. God doesn't expect you to be perfect, only one man ever was.
"For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son Jesus Christ that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".

I never said that guns don't kill people, only that here in the U.S. our Constitution gives us the right to own them. Wishing you the best in life, and I will be praying for you.

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace...
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 13:38-39 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Ephesians 4:32 - And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Luke 17:3-4 - Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Mark 11:25 - And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Luke 6:37 - Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Matthew 6:14 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Colossians 3:13 - Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.
Matthew 6:14-15 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Luke 23:34 - Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Matthew 6:12 - And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.
Might we continue to forgive others, as we are forgiven our trespasses.
Im happy the gun rally in Richmond was peaceful, and went well. Im happy to live in a country where I am able to bear arms to protect my life, liberty, and property. I am happy to be an American. GOD bless America.
God bless America Land that I love Stand beside her And guide her Through the night with the light from above From the mountains To the prairies To the oceans White with foam God bless America My home sweet home From the mountains To the prairies To the oceans White with foam God bless America My home sweet home God bless America My home sweet home

Salvation: The Need and the How.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Every one of us is a sinner. Every one of us have come short of God's glory. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Because of our sin, we deserve death, eternal punishment, the wrath of God. But God, because He loves us, has provided a means to have eternal life with Him. That means is the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. You must receive him. Nobody is born into salvation. Nobody deserves it. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You must call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, believeing on him, in his sacrifice for YOUR sins. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 1 Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Jesus Christ was God Himself. He was God, the Son. The Word. He came and died for your sins. He made the sacrifice required for your sin. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. There is nothing you can do to earn salvation. You must be saved by the grace of God, in receiving him (the Lord). 1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Once you receive the Lord, believe on him, that he was sacrificed for your sins, and rose again never to die, you KNOW you are saved. No prayer saves you. Your BELIEF is what counts. You may pray to God now, but your prayer is simply an affirmation of your belief. Prayer is an important part of your Christian life, but it has nothing to do with salvation. Do not trust in a prayer, an act, or a baptism. Trust Christ only! "What must I do to be saved?" Simply believe in the Lord's completed work; trusting completely on him for your salvation.

If life successes made me appear pretentious, reaching my goals caused me to seem arrogant, or my personal achievements made me become aloof then...
Heres to all my glorious messes, failures, screw ups, mistakes, blunders, flaws, over sights, and errors: for they have kept me meek, modest, ordinary, plain, frugal, and most of all humble. Pain also keeps me awake, and humble. I have horrid insomnia and maybe had four hours of sleep last night.
Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ let us find happiness in failure knowing the lessons learned were for YOUR glory~ Might you be the ultimate pain reliever today for those like me in need. Amen.

C.S. Lewis is inspirational to me.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

Hebrews 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".
"God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world". E.M. Bounds

I will continue to pray for you, @stumour. It is my personal belief that you are in need of it. I continue to pray for the salvation of Jovan as well, as I have for many years.
Love and peace to all, ox' hou
