GOD IS ETERNAL. HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN, HE ALWAYS WILL BE

SHORT REFLECTIONS ON GREAT TRUTHS 

Simple (great truths, simply stated), short (from 90 seconds to 10 minutes), specific lessons from the Bible (focusing on precise subject). Collateral verses in comment boxes. The nature of these lessons prohibit in depth presentation, but open door for personal study and sharing with others. Lessons good for all ages (5 years to 105 year).



My intent is to take a Bible idea (such as: God is eternal) and state it simply for the children. I will mention Scripture verses and include references in the comment box beneath the video. However, I hope the parents will take the time to refresh their memories on each concept, in order to teach their children more about what I am saying.
 

I am hoping that what I say, and the way I say it will register with the children, and that the Holy Spirit will bear witness to the truths I am trying to share. 

This particular video was just a test, on the spur of the moment. But, I thought I would let it stay here, just to show you what I am wanting to do.

SCRIPTURE...

God is Eternal and He Created Everything

(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Colossians 1:16-17
(16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities,
or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
(17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Hebrews 11:3
(3) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 13:8
(8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

 

 

The Lord willing, I am planning on doing a series of short lessons to share with my grandchildren.

This is an experiment. I sent it from my computer to my video album on Facebook. I did not intend to post it publicly, but since it did post, I decided to let it stay for a while.


 

14-12-23 THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS LAST

 14-12-23 THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS LAST

Ok, I know this is a little weird. But I was thinking about the anti-Christian sentiment in our society, which may one day purge the Christian message from the USA, as it has in other parts of the world.

While I was waiting for Martha to come out of a store, I was going to make a video note for myself, but when I saw the eerie appearance, I decided to do this message.

It is a take-off from the three ghostly characters in Dickens, "A Christmas Carol." Mine is the Ghost of Christmas Last.

What a terrible thing it will be for the message to lose its place of influence. Of course, it is already happening, so it is not far fetched.

SCRIPTURES...
Proverbs 14:12
(12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Matthew 7:13-15
(13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
(14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

John 14:6
(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Acts 4:12
(12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

2 Timothy 4:3-4
(3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
(4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
 

 

13-10-20 A GRAND DAD PRODUCTION OF THE PRODIGAL PEN

 13-10-20 A GRAND DAD PRODUCTION OF THE PRODIGAL PEN

  Don't focus on the production. This is about communicating to children the importance of proper RESPECT, OBEDIENCE and LOVE for God and those whom God has appointed as authority figures in their lives.

I realize you can fill books with the jokes and the criticisms of this video. But little children will get the message. I am just trying to find effective ways to communicate that message.

Also, some (read that, MOST) folks who see this video will be many times more talented and creative than I am. I think there is room, no, I think there is A NEED for more of your gifts and abilities on the internet, whether in drama, puppetry, music, story telling.

Anyway, this is just something I did just before dinner today. Think what you can do if your really put your mind and heart into it.

 August 2011 THE LORD WILLING

PASSAGE...
James 4:13-16
(13) Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
(14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
(15) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
(16) But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
