Good or Godly: The Optimum Choice
Good Morning World! Good or Godly. The two words are not interchangeable. Good people do what they believe is best. Godly people do the Word of God without regard for what they believe. Good people operate out of relationship with their human spirit & mental comprehension of God. Godly people walk in the Spirit of God. Good people listen to gurus. Godly people seek Godly counsel. Which are you? Have a great day!
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 2:2-3
(BUT GOD!!!! Have you had a BUT GOD experience??? Hallelujah!)
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:4-5
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalm 1:1
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Timothy 3:12
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2 Corinthians 1:12
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Psalm 32:6
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Psalm 4:3
Quote of the Day: I regard no man as poor who has a godly mother. Abraham Lincoln
As the wicked are hurt by the best things, so the godly are bettered by the worst things. William Jenkyn
Surely conversion is a matter between man and his Maker who alone knows his creatures' hearts. A conversion without a clean heart is, in my opinion, a denial of God and Religion. Conversion without cleanliness of heart can only be a matter of sorrow, not joy, to a godly person. Mohandas Gandhi
“But someone once described the contrast between a good life and a Godly life as the difference between the top of the ocean and the bottom. On top, sometimes it's like glass -- serene and calm -- and other times it's raging and stormy. But hundreds of fathoms below, it is beautiful and consistent, always calm, always peaceful.” Bill McCartney
Preaching is to much avail, but practice is far more effective. A godly life is the strongest argument you can offer the skeptic. Hosea Ballou
30 Nissan 5770 This Day in Jewish History: Buchenwald Liberated by American Forces (1945) The Buchenwald concentration camp was founded in 1937 near the town of Weimar, Germany. Approximately 250,000 prisoners were incarcerated in this camp until its liberation in 1945.
Weimar is a German city known for its highly cultured citizenry. It was the home of many of the upper class intellectual members of Europe’s society. Among others, Goethe, Schiller, Franz Liszt, and Bach lived in Weimar.
Though technically not an extermination camp, approximately 56,000 prisoners were murdered in Buchenwald (not including many others who died after being transferred to other extermination camps). They died from vicious medical experiments, summary executions, torture, beatings, starvation, and inhuman work conditions. The camp was also known for its brutality. German officers would force inmates to eat their meager soup ration off the mud on the ground; would keep them standing in the cold until they froze to death; and they would even use skin of dead inmates to make lamp shades.
On the 30th of Nissan 1945 the Sixth Armored Division of the United States Third Army liberated the camp.
Among the more famous inmates who spent time in Buchenwald are Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, former Chief Rabbi of Israel, and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel.
