Great Balls of COLOR!

The Honeymooners de-light ;-}

I wonder why they came up with dropping a lighted sphere? Curious? Find out more at the website listed below.

These are the colorful new light displays in our wonderful New Years Eve Ball that is dropped annually @ Times Square in New York City. Although the intent may only have been multiple colors with geometric designs I hope you enjoy the end results as much as I do! If you're there for an extended period of time enjoy every facet of Manhattan and beyond, in the least-window shopping on 5th Ave! Here's a the great link that I pulled all the photos from: http://www.timessquarenyc.org/nye/nye_ball.html

I really like the multi-colored one with the white stars.

I love the blue and white it looks like snowflakes on a wintery night. It's difficult to choose a favorite they are all so beautiful.

We are in a snowy winter wonderland. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Ours was peaceful and hopeful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My wish for you this New Year is that you learn from your mistakes, forgive the misgivings of others, find joy in the small things, rejoice in the big things, learn/give/&keep healthy boundaries for safe and fulfilling relationships and that you may come to know intimately the peace, love, and joy that only Christ can bring as your Lord and Savior.

Have a Safe and Happy New Year!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

With all the hectic events in our country and world, being the richest nation we still have so much to be thankful for. Do you have shelter? Do you have food? If so you have sooo much to Praise Him for! He is Our Jehovah-Jireh Our Great Provider! A famous talk show host on the "View" actually requested not to be reminded of God they just wanted to eat the food! How sadly ungrateful! Give Thanks to the very One who breathed life into you. Meditate on Ps. 139 and be grateful Christianity isn't outlawed in our country and you have access to an entire Bible if you so desire! You have so much freedom and wealth and ability if you can even read this-->be thankful that you're literate! Maybe she should watch Charlie Browns Thanksgiving along with the one on the Mayflower and just plain get happy!(the video below also might help)

Anyhow, Happy Thanksgiving, may we all find something and Someone to be grateful for!

Prison

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name, the righteous shall compass me about, for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. (Psalm 142:7)

A thought to ponder....

A thought to ponder...
What will Our Savior say
On that beautiful glorious day
We greet our maker and say
it seemed innocent to me
to celebrate Satan's Highest holy day...
As you eat Halloween candy and teach your children rituals claiming legalism on those who honor God by not doing so what message do you send your children???

Concerning the Presidency

"Pray continuously" IThess. 5:17 &

"Then he charged them saying, "Thus you shall do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully and wholeheartedly.Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before the LORD, and wrath may not come on you and your brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty. . . . Act resolutely, and the LORD be with the upright."

2 Chronicles 19:9-11

"Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is a sin."

James 4:17

We can pray that all our leaders might:

""...Always think carefully before pronouncing judgement. Remember that [they] do not judge to please people but to please the Lord. He will be with you [them]when you[they] render verdict in each case." Pray that they also"Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord Our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality..."

2 Chron. 19:6-7

Halloween...

What to avoid: Lake of Fire

... CAUTION: children/minors: it is highly recommended that you get parental supervision/permission before pressing play

In John 10:10 Jesus says "The theif comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I have come that ye(you) might have life and to the abundance." Satan's only purpose is to kill, steal, and destroy. God wants you to have an abundant life, a full life, filled with peace and not hostility, joy instead of mourning and everything wonderful for you and your family that the Lord Jesus Christ has for you. May we choose to honor the Lord Our God Jesus Christ, this day and every day of the year. It also says that only way to stay free is to "Resist the devil, submit unto God and he [the devil] must flee"James 4:7 ! Kick him OUT Let GOd in and be blessed by Jesus!

Have a wonderful day!

Love in Christ,

Christian(s):God wants unity in the body of Christ for many purposes, coming against false teachings/doctrines is one of them:Colossians 2:2 "that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ."Colossians 2:4 "Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words."Christians be aware: "That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" Ephesians 4:14 "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:15-16

The Problem

Photo by Tiffany Renee Phillips
Sin (defined by the Ten Commandments in God's Word [=the Bible])
God’s standards are so holy and high that none of us could pass judgment without being condemned to death (read my blog post titled "Good Friday" in March 2008). "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 How? Look at the Ten Commandments and see how you, yourself personally, measure up. Read Exodus 20:1-17 in the Bible (NIV(New International Version) is an easy version to read) Deuteronomy 5:6-21
1. Have no other god before Me Deut. 5:7 (Jesus Christ is the only way to God John 14:6)
2. Do not worship any idols. Deut. 5:8
3. Do not take the Lords name in vain Deut 5:11(Jesus Christ as a "four-letter word)
4. Keep My Sabbath Holy Deut. 5:12
5. Honor your father and mother Deut. 5:16 (who is my mother, brother Mark 3:33, Matthew 10:34-37)
6. Do not murder. Deut. 5:17 (Jesus says if you have hate in your heart towards anyone you have murdered Matthew 5:21-22) murderers have part in the lake of fire
7. Do not commit adultery (Jesus said if any [hu]man lusts after [someone] in their heart [mind] then they have committed adultery Matthew 5:27-28)
8. Do not steal [this includes "petty" items, i.e. pens, pencils] (all thieves have part in lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
9. Do not lie (all liars have their part in the lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
10. Do not covet (desire to have others items without your own gain; perverse jealousy Deut. 5:21)
If you say you haven't broken any, you're deceived, and you just lied breaking the 9th. Still not convinced? Take the "good person" quiz @ http://www.wayofthemaster.com/goodperson.shtml and see how you line up in the light of God's standards (not human, not our own). If you desire to be set free from God's wrath in the life to come you must make Jesus the Lord of your life here on earth. This is His standard, His way. He says "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except by Me." John 14:6 But the good news is He's paid the price for our sins, so instead of death we may have life, thru His Son Jesus Christ. If you desire to escape the wrath to come, then pray the prayer below to Jesus Christ and read the Bible daily and get in a church based on the Bible alone as it's standard.

What to avoid: Lake of Fire

... CAUTION: children/minors: it is highly recommended that you get parental supervision/permission before pressing play

What to gain: Redemption for your soul through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord over your life!

The Solution

A relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior:
If you'd like Him to save you from His wrath to come then here is an example of how to pray when rendering your heart humbly before Him:
Example of sinners prayer: (wording isn't as important as a sorrowful heart to God) this is just an example, but you must do three things 1. admit your sins to God and ask Him to forgive you for them 2. ask Him to become Lord of your life 3. pray in the name of Jesus "Dear Jesus, I do not know you, I have no power to make things right in my life on my own. I have sinned (name them specifically to God if you can-->He already knows each one of them) please forgive me. I ask you to become the Lord of my life. Teach me how to follow you. In Jesus name amen."

Choose Life . . .

... CAUTION: children/minors: it is highly recommended that you get parental supervision/permission before pressing play

Jesus Christ is faithful to deliver us from all forms of death: Lust, mammon, alcohol, eating disorders, suicide, depression, even drug addictions. God can replace all forms of destruction with life if we call on Jesus alone. If you're in need, know God and his followers truly love you and desire to see you walk in His abundant life and be free from all chains of bondage that seek to destroy you and your life. Get Christian counseling and in a safe church based on the Bible alone as it's standard, don't remain isolated, stay connected at all costs, make Him the Lord of your life and ask Him to forgive your every sin then let Him and those who know Him guide you to and thru the deliverance you need. Please press the play button or click on the link titled "True Freedom" for a drama of what true deliverance can look like. Psalms107:20 "He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

In Jesus name amen."

River of Forgiveness

Any body of water is renewed and refreshed, cleansed so to speak, continuously, that is how our lives can be lived and experienced with a relationship with Jesus Christ when we repent and seek forgiveness with a sincere heart. It can be this way with others in our lives as well and should be this way especially within the precious body of Christ. If "all we need is love", Jesus is the source, the one and only source (according to Him-John 14:6) So invite Him into your life if you haven't already done so and if you have: accept, give and recieve the one true source of peace, His forgiveness thru His Holy Spirit. With love, Tiffany *Seekers and Skeptics alike: please read the blog entries "A life worth Celebrating" & "Good Friday" March 2008
