Praises for Your Bountifulness

October! The beginning of the harvest months and the bounty of the Lord. Working for months to improve into a new lifestyle, the rewards are in the holidays ahead. Ordinary Times, the months of the faithful, self-directed work for Christ is praised with feasts, family, and heavenly gifts from the above.

Remember also that 'The Lord Reigns!"

1 Peter 1:22-25
  • 22.  You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
  • 23. For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God
  • 24. As the Scriptures say,

    "People are like grass;
      their beauty is like a flower in the field.
    The grass withers and the flower fades.
  • 25. But the word of the Lord remains forever."
    And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
.... So that, if a man only abstains from doing evil in order to avoid punishment, Non pasces in cruce corvos, [Thou shalt not be hanged.], saith the Pagan; there, "thou hast thy reward." But even he will not allow such a harmless man as this to be so much as a good heathen. If, then, any man, from the same motive, viz., to avoid punishment, to avoid the loss of his friends, or his gain, or his reputation, should not only abstain from doing evil, but also do ever so much good; yea, and use all the means of grace; yet we could not with any propriety say, this man is even almost a Christian. If he has no better principle in his heart, he is only a hypocrite altogether.
