Make it Quick

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.  source 

A verse to personalize today – to take personally; to address this verse not to those we love but to ourselves.

Yes. It’s High time for all GOD’s Children to no longer covet the lives of the rich and empty.
It’s time to lay hold of a Biblical worldview.

To think Scripture.
To allow Scripture to transform us, and this transformation occurs when my mind thinks differently, not like the people of this world think but what the Bible reveals is Truth and Life.
Only when we think Scriptually will we know what pleases Father — what His will is for us – each of us.

Dual Citizenship

1 Comment

I am not inclined to say I am proud to be an American.

Hear me out, please.

You see I can make no claim to any action that gave me American citizenship.
My parents, my grandparents, and to my knowledge even my great-grandparents were born here as well.
Living here is a privilege I daily appreciate and I do not take it lightly.

I would not be here in this Land had not The GOD of Holy Scripture ordained me to be here. And it is to Him I pledge my allegiance forever and always.
And in my allegiance to Him, I am determined to seek to bring peace, kindness, and The Message of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST to all who will to hear the message.
I know from His Word and my own experience that The GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST believed, embraced, and lived out is The Way to make America a great place to live.

For those who came before me and those who will come after me who have and shall embrace this same privilege and determination, I am indeed grateful and I am honored to be named among them.

Perhaps I’d be remiss if I failed to acknowledge that even the poorest American lives in luxury compared to most of the world’s peoples.
Why that is I am not here to debate.
It’s just an observation and a statement of yearning for people to count the cost and under GOD seek to learn His Riches are far more worthy of our pursuits.
And one more thought: Freedom in The Messiah is Eternal – lasting long beyond this American Sod.

So, however, you decide to spend this day, please remember if you are an American Citizen and if you have CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN, you are here (and will be THERE) by the Grace of Almighty GOD — don’t waste it.

A Rainy Day Read

Leave a comment

It is a rainy day in my little corner and I have been reading.
Here’s a quote from the book that’s been resting on my lap.

“If you don’t belong to GOD, You belong to the enemy.”
Rebecca Ruth, page 98 of the book: The Un-Saved Christian.

I started this as a Facebook post  — and then decided to bring it here. 

Do you know with certainty to whom you belong?
How do you know?

Does the Bible in context give you full assurance that YOU belong to GOD?
Can you find that assurance right now in the Bible?

Can you open the pages of Scripture and turn to the passages that tell you for certain that you have been delivered from Satan’s ownership to GOD’s Kingdom?

If you cannot, I hope you are right now consumed with a holy terror that will not leave you alone.

Why?— Because that would highly indicate it is not too late for you and GOD is still willing to rescue you and re-birth you into HIS KINGDOM.

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
