Isaiah 55:10-11: God's word won't fail.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Proverbs 31:10-31: Where are the virtuous women?

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.

Acts 2:38-39: The plan of salvation.

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.

Raise Your Hand if you Love Music

I had a guy tell me he doesn't like music. What? I don't understand. The harmony of a gospel quartet? Beethoven? Come on now.

More on Friendship

11:47 AM  K.L. Jordan  No comments

This excerpt is taken from Pearls from Proverbs:

Intimate friends are rare in life. Often we have only one, occasionally two...usually not more than three in our entire lives. There's something about an intimate friend that causes your souls to be knit together. It's what we call a kindred spirit. Intimate friendship has four characteristics. First, an intimate friend is willing to sacrifice...Second, an intimate friend is a loyal defense before others...Third, intimate friends give each other complete freedom to be themselves...And finally, an intimate friend is a constant source of encouragement.
~Charles Swindoll

Think long and hard about who your friends are --on Facebook or otherwise.

The Pearl of Friendship

11:22 AM  K.L. Jordan  No comments

I am a friend of God. He calls me friend! Today's pearl is the pearl of friendship. We use that word lightly, don't we? I mean look at what Facebook has done to the word friend? At one point I had more than 1,500 "friends" on my page. Do I really know that many people, and if I do, do I really want to share my life with them? I began to delete "friends" from my page, and then I just deactivated it. I want to cultivate real relationships. Besides...Twitter is more fun!

Proverbs 17:17 says, "a friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." OMG! The first part of this statement is hard to swallow. AT ALL TIMES? What about when they make me mad?! But wait, a brother is born FOR adversity? The Amplified version says this: a friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity. So you mean to tell me as a friend I need to love (all the time) and be ready to handle adversity? Woa. Do you know anyone who fits that description? I do. GOD.

The song below says, "I am a friend of God. He calls me friend." So we ought to love God all the time and understand that because we love God we will face adversity. Now that's the truth. Can you handle the truth?

If I told you what I really need from thee would your heart and soul say yes? That's what God wants to know. Our answer should be quite simple: "Yes." This song is a few years old, but it gets me every time. Have you honestly told God yes? Yes, I will declare your glory. Yes, I will sing for you. Yes, I will submit my will to yours. If you haven't now is a good time.
