22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23 He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.

The Poor Man's Morning and Evening Portions by Robert Hawker
June 26, Morning
"The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way: before his works of old, I was set up from everlasting." — Proverbs 8:22-23
Pause, my soul, over those most blessed words, and see what glories are contained in them. May God the Spirit glorify Christ to thy view while pondering these words! Who is it that speaks them? Is it not wisdom! Even Christ, the wisdom of God, as the apostle elsewhere calls him? But how was he possessed by the Lord, and how set up from everlasting? Not openly in the human form, that he was in the fulness of time to take upon him for the purpose of redemption; but, as it should seem, secretly, as subsisting in covenant engagements from everlasting. Mediator, was it not? Not as yet made flesh, but if we may from another scripture draw the conclusion, "as the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature," Colossians 1:15. What a glory, beheld in this view, doth this precious scripture, with all that follows it in the chapter, hold forth! The Son of God, in covenant engagements from everlasting, was in time to take into himself manhood, and from the union of both God and man become one Christ. Hence, from everlasting, wisdom, one of those natures, is set up and speaks as a person, not separate or distinct from the other nature of the Godhead, but as in union, and from both, forming in covenant settlements the one glorious Mediator. So that it is not wisdom, as a person, speaking, without subsisting in the Son of God, neither is it the Son of God without wisdom subsisting as such in him, but both forming one identical person, and that person the Mediator, whose name was then secret, but afterwards was to be called Wonderful, when by the open appearance of the Son of God, tabernacling in a body of flesh, redemption work from everlasting, covenanted for and agreed upon by the several persons of the Godhead, was to be completed. What a blessed contemplation is here opened, my soul, to thy diligent and humble inquiry. Here direct all thy researches; here let prayer ascend for divine teachings to guide thee; and here behold him, who in the after ages of his love, made an open display of himself, as the God-man, when he manifested forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him; thus. as the wisdom-man, declaring himself as possessed by Jehovah in the beginning of his way, and set up before all worlds as Jehovah’s delight, while his delights were with the sons of men. Oh the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world began!

A academic reflection of Dallas Willard's "Renovation of the Heart"
What book would you recommend? “That’s interesting, I’d like to know something about spirituality. Can you recommend something for me to read that would be helpful?” Introduction This essay is framed in the context of Christianity. Spirituality must be viewed from our own lived experience and our weltanschauung[1] and it would be disingenuous to not be authentically Christian and…

Looking at the End Times (Part 8) (209) - September 2 2023
Play on other Podcast Apps During these times, reading the fine print can prevent a lot of things from occurring. If your phone is having issues, you go back to read the manual to see where something could have gone wrong. The same thing applies to the lives of believers. Did we read the fine print in the Bible pertaining to our walk in Christ? Pastor Catrice speaks on the topic this…

Brand New Year
Not January 1st New Year – but a brand-new school year! Lots of online photos of “first day of school” for many young students and even my Brennan’s first day of school at University of Mary Hardin Baylor. I went into Walmart for a quick few items, and saw many parents and their children loading up their carts with school supplies. Where I live, providing school supplies by our residents was one…

[Jesus tells us, "The lamp of the body is the eye".] The central image-- the eye [as a lamp]-- is puzzling to a modern reader, [for it strikes us as backwards:] we think of the eye as receiving sense impressions, [and requiring some sort of external "lamp" to properly see at all. However,] the ancient reader thought of it as a fiery beacon, giving out light internally or externally‐- [an active] transmitter rather than a receiver: "A kindly eye shines out with generosity" (Proverbs 22.9).
Dom Henry Wansbrough; Commentary on Matthew 6:22-23

Writeblr Introduction
Tumblr media
Please reblog!
Hello Writeblr! I'm oliveScales, and I'm currently writing and illustrating my webcomic named "The Forgotten Legends of Chima", or TFLOC for short.
I'm a fan of mythology and folklore, and I'm trying to study a few of them for my worldbuilding. Worldbuildings with focus on culture are my favorite! I also really like stories with animals and anthropomorphic characters. I'm an american who enjoys studying other cultures, and am currently studying the Portuguese language!
The Forgotten Legends of Chima is a fantasy science fiction story about the land of Chima, home to eight animal tribes. Here, you'll learn about their cultures, witness intriguing and complex relationships between them, and understand the importance of diversity.
TFLOC is an interpretation of Legends of Chima's storyline, which means that worldbuilding and characters are going to be developed alongside new content to add further depth into the story, such as unimportant/secondary characters becoming important and vital to the story.
Synopsis
In a world where civilizations clash for Chi in order to survive, Laval, prince of the Lion Tribe, strives to overcome every war and all injustice without ever gripping a sword. It all started when Laval witnessed evil and inequality with his own eyes. Since then, he has promised himself to protect anyone, no matter who they are, from suffering and that he will restore peace in the land of Chima. These are the Forgotten Legends of Chima.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Colossians 3:19
Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7
And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh." Genesis 2:23
In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. Ephesians 5:28
The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the LORD. Proverbs 18:22

Gentleness is Strength
It’s never too late to acquire Godly traits in our lives. I’m quite sure the Apostle Paul had good reasons for writing about the Fruit of the Spirit. He was surrounded by whiners, complainers, and others who needed a good dose, rather a good fruit to munch on. And, here we are centuries later, and human beings need that good “fruit” more than ever! Galatians 5:22-23 are Paul’s words: “But the…
