ANCIENT NORTONIAN PROVERBS

1 NOTHING IS EVER EVIL OF ITSELF, BUT THE PERVERTED USE OF ANYTHING IS ALWAYS EVIL

2 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, BUT SOME POSSIBILITIES ARE TIME SENSITIVE: WAIT UPON THE LORD.

3 WE SOMETIMES PAINT THE ULTIMATE REVELATION WITHOUT DRAWING THE BOTTOM LINE

4 ACCEPT PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE: YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN

5 GOD IS AT ONCE PROFOUNDLY SIMPLE AND SIMPLY PROFOUND

6 THE LEAST I GET FOR MY VOTE IS THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN; OR, IS IT THE MOST?

7 NOT MY WAY; BUT YAWEH

8 TO MANY OF US SUPERVISION ONLY MEANS EXCELLENT EYESIGHT

9 REAL WORSHIP NEVER GOES UNCONTESTED

10 CELEBRITY IS COMPROMISED WHEN MYSTERY IS MODIFIED BY FAMILIARITY

11 THE FIRST STEP TOWARD EXCELLENCE IS TAKEN IN PUNCTUALITY

12 OUR ONLY EQUALITY IS OUR VALUE TO GOD

13 GOD ONLY CAN FACTOR THE INTENT OF THE HEART INTO THE EQUATION OF JUDGMENT

14 SUBMIT YOURSELF TO GOD; RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU, AND SO WILL MOST OF YOUR FRIENDS

15 THERE SHOULD BE NO HOLIDAY THAT IS NOT A HOLY DAY THAT FALLS ON A SUNDAY

16 A FORD MAY GO FROM 0 TO 60 IN A FEW SECONDS; BUT CHRISTIANS CAN GO FROM 60 TO 0 IN LESS TIME THAN THAT

17 GENETICS + ENVIRONMENT - JESUS = ?.>//}\***7#@! 

18 CHRISTIAN TO ATHEIST: IF IN THE END YOU ARE RIGHT, WHAT HAVE I LOST THAT I WOULD HAVE WANTED; IF I AM RIGHT, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT THAT YOU HAVE LOST?

19 DON’T CHASE DEVILS; CHASE GOD AND DEVILS WILL CHASE SOMEONE ELSE

20 THE EASIEST WAY TO PLEASE OTHERS IS TO FAIL

21 THE MOST POPULAR NEWS IS BAD NEWS

22 IF WE FOREVER LIVE IN YESTERDAY, TODAY WILL FOREVER BE TOMORROW

23 THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS NO VITAL ORGANS, YET NONE ARE NON-ESSENTIAL

24 CULTURE APPLIED TO THE GOSPEL POLUTES THE GOSPEL WITH RELIGIOUS TRADITION; THE GOSPEL APPLIED TO CULTURE PURIFIES THE CULTURE WITH BIBLE TRUTH

25 ONLY GOD CAN MAKE DIRT LIVE

26 UNDER THE LAW I BELIEVE BECAUSE I WORK; UNDER GRACE I WORK BECAUSE I BELIEVE

27 COME TO GET: CHURCH IS AN END IN ITSELF. COME TO GIVE: CHURCH IS A MEANS TO AN END

28 THE CORE OF LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE; THE REST IS BUILT AROUND IT

29 MAKE DISCIPLES, NOT DEPENDENTS

30 CHURCH: A RESOURCE, NOT THE SOURCE

31 CHRIST IS NOT FORMED IN US BY WHAT WE KNOW BUT BY WHAT WE DO OF WHAT WE KNOW

32 OUT OF THE DEPTH OF PROFUNDITY FLOWS THE POWER OF SIMPLICITY....AND VISA VERSA

33 TRUE WORSHIP- TO BECOME ONE WITH THAT WHICH IS WORSHIPPED

34 NO MAN CAN CRUCIFY HIMSELF; FOR THAT HE NEEDS HIS FRIENDS

35 A MERRY “XMAS” IS A SAD HOLLOWDAY

36 REPETITION IS THE ROOT OF REMEMBRANCE

37 THE HOTTER THE FIRE THE BRIGHTER THE LIGHT

38 TRANSFIGURATION- THE VISIBLE PROPHETIC PROJECTION OF THE MAN OF GOD AT THE END OF ANY GIVEN AGE INTO THAT TO COME

39 TO DREAM THE AMERICAN DREAM ONE MUST BE ASLEEP

40 AN ABSENCE CAN APPEAR AS POWERFUL AS A PRESENCE

41 CHRIST IN YOU IN THE ABSENCE OF YOU IS YOU IN CHRIST

42 OUR DISCERNMENT OF GOD’S PRESENCE IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE DEGREE OF OUR ABSENCE

43 WORSHIP IS NOT MORE OF THE LORD BUT LESS OF ME

44 THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION IS THE VOICE OF JESUS

45 I AM WHAT I REMEMBER

46 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WOLF AND A DOG IS A MAN

47 TAKE DOMINION: RULE FROM BENEATH; TEACH THOSE BENEATH TO RULE

48 TRUE DOMINION: EAT AND ASSIMILIATE

49 THE ROOT OF THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE FEAR OF DEATH

50 CHARITY CRUCIFIES THE MIGHT AND RIGHT OF RETALIATION UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF RECONCILIATION

51 GOTTA GET RIGHT TO BE LEFT

52 WE MAY REMOVE OUR VAIL AND CHANGE OUR GLORY OR BE STRIPED NAKED AND CHANGE OUR FIG LEAVES

53 INSPIRATION, NOT MOTIVATION, BUILDS THE CHURCH

54 FOR CERTAIN WEAR YOUR WWJD PIN TO THE HALLOWEEN PARTY

55 THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE WILL ALWAYS MAXIMIZE THE MINIMUM

56 CHRISTMAS? HOW CAN THE ETERNAL GOD HAVE A BIRTHDAY?

57 TIME IS A GIFT OF THE HEART; BUT THE HEART IS PERSUADED OF IT’S TREASURE WHERE IT WILL GIVE IT

58 IN THE WORLD OUR IDENTITY ORIGINATES IN WHAT WE DO; IN THE KINGDOM WHAT WE DO ORIGINATES IN OUR IDENTITY

59 RELIGION RESTRICTS THE NATURAL MAN; CHRIST RELEASES THE NEW MAN

60 THERE IS NO GENERATION GAP IN CHRIST. WE ARE ALL OF THE 42ND

61 WHEN THE RICH AND ROBUST DISAGREE THE POOR AND POWERLESS PERISH

62 INSURANCE PREMIUMS- MONIES PAID ON A BET THAT YOU WILL, RECEIVED BY THOSE WAGERING YOU WON’T, WITH BOTH PARTIES SINCERELY HOPING YOU NEVER DO

63 KINGDOM PARADOX: INEQUALITY WITHOUT DISPARITY IN REFERENCE TO VALUE

64 ONLY TRUE SECURITY WILL RESPECT ALL AS EQUALS

65 A CREDENTIAL DOES NOT ESPECIALLY QUALIFY BUT WITHOUT CREDENTIAL QUALIFICATION IS OFTEN NULIFIED

66 IS THE MINISTRY A CALL OR A PROFESSION? YES

67 MAN WOULD QUALIFY THAT ONE MAY OF GOD RECEIVE CREDENTIAL, BUT MEN SHOULD CREDENTIAL ONLY THAT ONE OF GOD QUALIFIED

68 GOD HELP THE MAN WHO WOULD GAIN EVERYTHING WHILE GIVING UP NOTHING; FOR IT IS HE WHO MUST LOSE EVERYTHING IF HE IS TO GAIN ANYTHING

69 GREAT GRACE IS UPON THE WIFE OF THE MAN OF GOD; BUT GREATER GRACE IT TAKES FOR THE HUSBAND OF THE WOMAN OF GOD

70 CHURCH: A GATHERING FOR MINISTRY TO THE LORD BY THE MEMBERS OF HIS BODY AS THEY SERVE ONE ANOTHER

71 WE ARE FUNDAMENTALLY AND FOREMOST WHAT WE CANNOT CEASE TO BE

72 ACTION IS EASIER CHANGED THAN FEELING: ACT LIKE IT AND YOU’LL FEEL LIKE IT LOTS FASTER THAN IF YOU WAIT TO FEEL LIKE TO ACT LIKE IT

73 TITHES TO THE TEMPLE. OFFERINGS TO THE LORD. ALMS TO THE POOR

74 GRACE: HAVING NOT RECEIVED WHAT I DID DESERVE, I WILL NOW FOREVER RECEIVE THAT I DO NOT

75 MUCH GOD DOES IN US IS LIKE POURING CEMENT. WE NEED A FORM, BRACING, AND POSSIBLY SCAFFOLDING TO MAKE THE POUR. THESE ARE NECESSARY TO THE TASK, BUT ALL IS REMOVED WHEN THE CEMENT IS CURED.

76 LIFE’S EVERY VOID MAY BE FILLED WITH THE WILL OF GOD

77 INTEGRITY IS WHAT I AM WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING

77a INTEGRITY QUOTIENT: THE MEASURED DEGREE TO WHICH I CAN BE TRUSTED IF I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE CAUGHT

78 A SON IS KNOWN BY HIS STRIPES; A BASTARD IS KNOWN FOR HISLACK THEREOF

79 THE ROOT OF ALL EXCESS IS THE FEAR OF DEATH

80 THE SUM OF ALL FEARS IS THE FEAR OF DEATH

81 WE OFTEN MISS THE BEST WHILE LOOKING FOR THE MORE

82 AT THE ROOT OF CHRISTIAN SUFFERING IS CHRISTIAN OBEDIENCE

83 AT THE ROOT OF ALL TEMPTATION IS THE IS THE DESIRE TO BE AS GOD

84A CREATED: IT IS THE PRACTICE OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST TO BRING THE LIBERTY OF REBIRTH TO THE SPIRIT OF MAN THAT HE MAY BE WITH GOD ONE SPIRIT: CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.

84B FORMED: IT IS THE PRACITCE OF THE SPIRIT TO BRING THE SOUL IN SUBJECTION UNTO LIBERTY TILL CHRIST BE FORMED IN HER: THE MANCHILD.

84C MANIFESTED: IT IS THE PRACTICE OF THE SOUL TO BRING THE BODY IN SUBJECTION UNTO LIBERTY TILL CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH: THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.

84D IT IS THE PRACTICE OF SONS TO BRING CREATION IN SUBJECTION UNTO LIBERTY TILL CHRIST BE ALL IN ALL: EMMANUEL.

85 THE NATURE OF THE SPIRIT IS PURPOSE; THE NATURE OF THE FLESH IS PLEASURE; THE NATURE OF THE SOUL IS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO.

86 IT’S A LIFETIME CLIMB TO HEAVEN BUT JUST ONE SHORT STEP BACK TO HELL

87 THE PLEASURE OF SIN FOR A SEASON WOULD RATHER AFFORD MAN’S REMEDY FOR A TIME THAN GOD’S CURE FOR ETERNITY

88 THE WAGES OF SIN NEED NEVER OFFER A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT

89 THINK FOR YOURSELF, LEST SOMEONE ELSE DOES….FOR A PRICE

90 THE CURSE IS UNTO FOUR GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN; THE BLESSING IS UNTO THE CHILDREN AND ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF

91 GOD PROVIDES THE POWER OF A POSITION; THE PEOPLE PLACE THE PERSON IN THE POSITION (ROM 13:1)

92 REAL AUTHORITY NEVER MANIPULATES THOSE UNDER IT FOR PROFIT OR PLEASURE

93 ONE IS THE SUM OF THOSE WHO HAVE INFLUENCED HIM

94 JUDICIAL HYPOCRISY: A MOTHER AND UNBORN BABY SLAIN BY ANOTHER IS A DOUBLE MURDER WHILE ONE SLAYING THE UNBORN BABY OF A LIVING MOTHER IS PERFORMING A LEGAL ABORTION

 95 THE WORD IS DEPENDENT FOR POWER UPON THE BREATH BEHIND IT

96 WHATSOEVER A LEADER ALLOWS HE ALSO AT ONCE JUSTIFIES

97 THANK YOU IS THE RETURN EMBODIMENT OF ALL RECEIVED

98 GOD NEVER CALLS THE QUALIFIED; BUT HE ALWAYS QUALIFIES THE CALLED (David Kanoy)

99 IF WORSHIP IS NOT OUR PRIMARY ISSUE, THEN ISSUES WILL REPLACE OUR WORSHIP (Greg Norris)

100 BEFORE WINE CAN BE DRAWN WATER MUST BE POURED (Judy Burlingame)

101 DO FIRST THAT WE KNOW TO DO (LOGOS) AND THEN THAT WE HEAR TO DO (RHEMA) (Dwight Reeves)

102 RELIGION: SPECIFIC ACT OF WORSHIP 

RITUAL: SPECIFIC ORDER OF WORSHIP

RELATIONSHIP: SPECIFIC RESULT OF WORSHIP

103 GOD GRANT THAT WE NOT READ OUR EXPERIENCE INTO THE SCRIPTURES BUT THAT OUR EXPERIENCE BE OF THE SCRIPTURES

104 IT IS MOST DIFFICULT TO MINISTER LIBERTY TO THE MATURE WITHOUT AT ONCE ISSUING LICENSE TO THE IMMATURE WHO MUST HAVE LAW; EQUALLY DIFFICULT IS MINISTERING NECESSARY PRINCIPLES OF LAW TO THE IMMATURE WITHOUT AT ONCE IMPOSING LEGALISM ON THOSE DESIRING MATURITY WITHOUT LICENSE

105 I WILL NEVER SEE GOD TILL I HAVE FIRST SEEN MYSELF, REPENTED, AND THROUGH FAITH HAD THE EYES OF MY UNDERSTANDING ENLIGHTENED

106 IS THE BIBLICAL TITLE GOD HAS ASSIGNED ME NOT ENOUGH TO CREDENTIAL THE SERVANT HE HAS MADE ME, DOCTOR?

107 MONEY REPRESENTS WHAT MAN CAN DO FOR HIMSELF

108 IF YOU WOULD WANT TO DO WHAT YOU DO EVEN IF THERE WERE NO PAY, AND IF YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU DO IF YOU NEEDED NO PAY, THEN YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU OUGHT TO BE DOING

109 IT TAKES HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PRODUCE FRUIT

110 EVERYBODY SUBMITS TO AND WORKS FOR SOMEBODY; A PASTOR SUBMITS TO AND WORKS FOR EVERYBODY

111 WE SHOULD CELEBRATE WHAT WE HAVE NOT DONE AS MUCH AS WHAT WE HAVE

112 SERVE MONEY: GOD WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE AND PEOPLE WILL SERVE YOU; SERVE GOD: MONEY WILL COME TO YOU AND YOU WILL USE IT TO SERVE PEOPLE

113 KINGDOM BLESSING FLOWS FROM THE TOP, WHICH IS ON          THE BOTTOM

114 THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE SUPERCEDES THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH BY KEEPING THE SPIRIT (I WANT TO) OF A LAW AS IT FULFILLS IT

115 ABUSE OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTIES BRINGS DEATH TO THE SOUL AS DO SINFUL BONDAGES TO THE BODY

116 MONEY MAY TREAT MY SYMPTOMS, BUT IT WILL NEVER CURE MY DISEASE

117 SERVING PEOPLE ASIDE FROM SERVING GOD IS SERVING SELF

118 AS YOU VIEW YOUR ENEMY, SO IS HE; AS YOU VIEW YOURSELF, SO YOUR ENEMY SEES YOU

119 IN OUR QUEST FOR THE EXCLUSION OF THE BODY FROM THE PAIN OF THE PRESENT, WE HAVE FORFEITED THE POWER OF THE WORD UNTO THE ASCENT OF THE SOUL INTO THE JOYS OF THE ETERNAL

120 CHILDREN ARE CONTROLED; YOUTH ARE GOVERNED; ADULTS ARE GUIDED

121 DISCERNMENT AND JUDGMENT ARE TWINS BUT DISCERNMENT EXERCISES RECONCILIATION UNTO REDEMPTION WHILE JUDGMENT EXERCISES SEPARATION UNTO CONDEMNATION

122 DEFIANT SUBMISSION IS NOT SUBMISSION. SUBMISSION IS WILLINGLY AND JOYFULLY OBEYING AN AUTHORITY RECOGNIZED AS DELEGATED OF GOD

 123 A SHEPHERD’S TASK IS TO TEND THE SHEEP AND RAISE UP SONS WHO WILL TEND THE SHEEP AND RAISE UP SONS WHO WILL………………….

124 THE LAW SAYS, “THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND YOU’RE NOT DOING IT:” GRACE SAYS, “THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD (WE ALL KNOW IF YOU’RE NOT DOING IT) AND YOU CAN DO IT”

125 THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND; DON’T PREACH IT OUT OF REACH

126 A MINISTER’S TASK IS TO BRING THE KINGDOM INTO THE REACH OF THE PEOPLE WITHOUT COMPROMISING ITS RITES OF PASSAGE

127 TEMPTATION IS GREATEST WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OUT

128 IMMORTALITY IS A SIDE - EFFECT OF WORSHIP

129 DEATH IS A SIDE-EFFECT OF DISOBEDIENCE

130 IF WE SEEK IMMORTALITY, WE SHALL DIE; IF WE WORSHIP, IMMORTALITY WILL OVERTAKE US

131 LAMBS PRAISE THEIR SHEPHERD ACCORDING TO THEIR PERCEPTION OF HIS PERFORMANCE; LIONS PRAISE THEIR KING ACCORDING TO HIS EXCELLENT GREATNESS

132 INFATUATION NEVER COUNTS THE COST; COMMITMENT ALWAYS PAYS THE PRICE

133 VOTING IS SOMETIMES FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS RATHER THAN THE GREATER OF TWO GOODS

134 THE RELIGION OF ANY PEOPLE GROUP DETERMINES, ESTABLISHES AND DEFINES ITS GOVERNMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS CONCEPT AND DEFINITION OF ITS DEITY

135 GOD ORDAINS SECULAR AUTHORITY; PEOPLE ESTABLISH AND FILL THE POSITION

136 MONEY IS GIVEN A CHRISTIAN TO INCREASE HIS AVAILABILITY; BUT TOO OFTEN IT IS USED TO RAISE HIS STANDARD OF LIVING

137 A CHANGE IN RELIGION BRINGS A CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT SAITH CONSTANTINE

 38 GOD IS MY I AM WHEN I AM HIS I WILL

139 THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD DEMANDS THE SONSHIP OF THE BELIEVER

140 THE SOUL WILL FEED UPON THE SWILL OF THE WORLD’S TROUGH OR THE SWEETS OF THE LORD’S TABLE, BUT SHE WILL EAT

141 JESUS WANTS TO MAKE ME ONE WITH HIMSELF THAT HE MIGHT MANIFEST HIMSELF AS ME

142 MIRACULOUS HEALING COMES BY A PROPHET; REMEDIAL HEALING COMES FOR A PROFIT

143 WHEN THE MASCULINIST FORCES MONARCHY AND THE FEMININIST INSISTS ON POLYARCHY, THEIR OFFSPRING WILL BE ANARCHISTS

144 THE TEST OF TRUTH IS TIME

145 AN EAGLE PREFERS TO KILL WHAT HE EATS; A BUZZARD WILL NOT EAT ANYTHING HE HAS TO KILL

146 RELIGION CONSTANTLY NAGS ME FOR WHAT I AM NOT; CHRISTIANITY FOREVER CELEBRATES WHAT I AM

147 RELIGION CONSTANTLY NAGS ME FOR WHAT I CAN NEVER BE; CHRISTIANITY CELEBRATES WHAT I AM EVER BECOMING

148 RELIGION REVEALS MY SIN TO REMOVE WHAT I WAS; CHRISTIANITY REMOVES MY SIN TO REVEAL WHAT I AM

149 USE IT OR LOSE IT; BUT IF YOU USE IT YOU WILL WEAR IT OUT

150 LIFE LIVES NOT OF FOOD BUT OF THE LIFE IN THE FOOD

151 PRAYER DEVELOPES AN APPITITE FOR MORE PRAYER

152 ONLY WHEN I HAVE LOST IT ALL WILL I HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN

153 DEATH IS PROOF MY LIFE ISN'T MINE

154 THE MOVEMENT OF THE INCENSE ALTAR ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT ANTICIPATED THE DAY OF THE RENT VAIL

 155 WHEN WE WERE KIDS IN CHRIST WE THOUGHT WE PRAISED GOD BECAUSE HE WAS WITH US, BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY WITH US BECAUSE WE PRAISED HIM

156 THE GLORY OF A THING IS SEEN ONLY WHEN IT WORKS LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO (Judy Burlingame)

157 SINCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THE SAME THING MORE THAN ONCE OR TO REPEAT A TIME, THEN OUR LIFE MUST BE ONE EVENT

158 IN ALL THINGS WE HAVE A CHOICE

159 PASTORAL DELIMMA: OTHER CHURCHES LOVE WHAT YOU ARE WHILE AT YOUR HOME CHURCH THEY LOVE ALL THAT YOU’RE NOT

160 LIFE IS A SIDE EFFECT OF OBEDIENCE

161 RELIGION TEACHES US HOW TO GET TO GOD; THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD IS COMING TO DWELL WITH MAN

162 RELIGION PREPARES US TO GO BE WITH GOD; THE BIBLE PREPARES US FOR GOD TO BE WITH US

163 DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY MAY BE LIMITED BY HUMAN DOMINION

164 AT HER BEING MADE, DID EVE RECEIVE THE CONTENT OF ADAM’S MIND OR WAS SHE TAUGHT?

165 MATTHEW, MARK AND LUKE EXECUTED THE KING OF THE JEWS; JOHN SLEW THE LAMB OF GOD

166 JESUS THE LION PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM TO THE JEW ONLY; JESUS THE LAMB PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO THE JEW FIRST AND ALSO TO THE GENTILE

167 JESUS IS NEVER THE LAMB IN THE SYNOPTICS

168 WHEN WE CAN NO LONGER VOTE FOR THE GREATER OF TWO GOODS BUT FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS, THEN THE CAMPAIGN IS RUN NOT ON THE PERSONAL PROMISE OF GOOD BUT ON THE EXPOSURE OF EVIL IN THE OPPOSITION

169 ATTITUDE AND ACTION COHABITATE IN RECIPROCITY, GIVING FRESH BIRTH TO ONE ANOTHER, SOME INFLUENCE HAVING BEGUN THEIR INTERACTION: STOP THE INFLUENCE, STOP THE RECIPROCITY

170 IN RELIGION THE BRIDE COMES TO THE GROOM; IN THE BIBLE THE GROOM COMES TO THE BRIDE

171 GOD MAY REFUSE TO CHOOSE; MAN MAY CHOOSE TO REFUSE

172 GOD CHOSE US FOR WHAT HE SEES OF HIMSELF IN US….AND WE REPENTED OF WHAT WAS YET UNLIKE HIM

173 LIFE IS FOUND ONLY IN OBEDIENCE (JUDY DEC 28, O7)

174 IF GOD DID NOT CREATE US, THEN WE CREATED GOD

175 ONE GIANT STEP FOR MAN: FROM RELIGION TO REALITY

176 THE GOVERNMENT OF MAN IS FORCED CONTROL; THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM IS RECOGNIZED INFLUENCE

177 RELIGION MAKES THE LAW OF GOD A MANDATE WITH DEATH AS THE PENALTY OF ITS BREAKING; KINGDOM TRUTH MAKES THE LAW OF GOD A PROMISE WITH LIFE AS THE REWARD OF ITS KEEPING

178 RELIGION AMENDS GOD’S LAWS TO APPEASE THE FLESH; KINGDOM TRUTH PRACTICES GOD’S UNCHANGING LAWS THAT THE WORD BE MADE FLESH THROUGH OBEDIENCE

179 RELIGION LIVES IN THE PAST AND FUTURE; KINGDOM TRUTH LIVES IN THE ETERNAL NOW

180 RELIGION TEACHES ME WHAT I MUST DO TO GET GOD TO LOVE AND FAVOR ME; KINGDOM TRUTH TEACHES ME THAT GOD LOVES AND FAVORS ME

181 RELIGION MAKES MY JUSTIFICATION UNSURE UNTIL THE JUDGMENT; KINGDOM TRUTH ASSURES MY JUSTIFICATION IS ETERNALLY ACCOMPLISHED

182 CAREFUL NOT TO CRITICIZE THE OLDER ONES FOR THEIR CHILD-LIKE FAITH LEST WHEN WE REPLACE THEM WE ARE ASHAMED OF OUR OWN

183 – 199 LOST TO COMPUTER ERROR

200 THE EASIEST THING TO DO WHEN WE HAVE DECIDED TO CHANGE IS TO BECOME COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE WERE

201 DISSATISFACTION IS THE ROOT SOURCE OF CHANGE

202 ONLY MY DEMAND FOR PERSONAL EXCELLENCE GUARANTEES MY PROGRESSIVE GROWTH UNTO FULL MATURITY

203 RELIGION TEACHES A WORK UNTO WORTHINESS AS A WAY TO POWER NEVER ATTAINED

204 TRUTH FROM GOD WILL ALWAYS MAKE ME FREE TO BE AS I BIBLICALLY OUGHT NO MATTER MY CONDITION WHERE I AM

205 A MINISTER BY THE WORD OF GOD CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE CHILD OF GOD MAY THRIVE

206 BLESSED IS HE WHO HUNGERS AND THIRSTS AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR MOST HAVE NOT SUCH AN APPETITE

207 ANYTHING IS SIMPLE WHEN IT IS UNDERSTOOD

208 EXCELLENCE IS DOING THE BEST I CAN WITH WHAT I HAVE IN ANY GIVEN MOMENT

209 AGAPE LOVE IS MORE AN ACT OF SUBMITTED WILL THAN A THOUGHT OR EMOTION

210 THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ITS EVERY COVENANT PROMISE IS AT HAND; DON’T PREACH IT OUT OF REACH

211 THE NAME “ELOHIYM” MAY INTRODUCE THE PERSON AND MAJESTY OF THE TRINITARIAN’S PLURAL GOD, BUT HE IS SPECIFICIALLY THE PERSON OF THE PLURAL SON (COL 1:15-17).

212 WE ARE CHRISTIANS EITHER BY NATURE OR BY PRESUMPTION

213 A LIE CONCEALS THE TRUTH; A FACT IS THE TRUTH IN PART; THE TRUTH IS A COMPLETE REVELATION OF ALL THE FACTS ABSENT OF ANY PART LIE

214 DOMINION, CONTROL OF THE EARTH AND EVERY CREATURE OF LESSER NATURE THAN MAN HIMSELF, WAS GIVEN TO MAN BEFORE THE FALL AND WILL RETURN TO MAN WHEN THE KINGDOM CONSUMMATES; GOVERNMENT, RULE OVER THOSE DESIRING TO BE GOVERNED, WAS GIVEN IMEDIATELY AFTER THE FALL AND WAS PROPHETIC OF KINGDOM NOW. KINGDOM CONSUMATE IS FOUTH DAY RULE

215 THE EARTH HAS A CLAIM ON MY BODY, BUT MY GOD HAS A CLAIM ON THE EARTH

216 THE BUZZARD IS WHAT RELIGION DID TO THE EAGLE

217 ECONOMIC PROPOSAL: TAKE IT FROM THE WEALTHY; GIVE IT TO THE WELCHER; AND EUTHANIZE THE HELPLESS

218 TRUE OWNERSHIP IS NOT IN A “BUYING OF” BUT IN A “GIVING FOR”

219 CHANGE AS AN END IN ITSELF HAS NO END

220 TRUE OWNERSHIP IS NOT SO MUCH IN A “POSSESSING OF” AS IT IS A “GIVING FOR”

221 AGAPE DOES WHAT IS RIGHT; PHILEO DOES WHAT IT FEELS

222 ONE PREACHING SALVATION IS OPENED TO FLESHLY TEMPTATION;

ONE PREACHING SPIRIT BAPTISM IS OPENED TO SPIRITUAL TEMPTATION;

ONE PREACHING THE KINGDOM IS OPENED TO EVERY CONCEIVABLE TEMPTATION

223 CHRISTIANS ARE CREATORS BY NATURE AND TRADERS BY NECESSITY; BUT THEY BECOME CONSUMERS BY CHOICE

224 CHRISTIAN CONTENTMENT LEVEL: AND HAVING FOOD AND RAIMENT LET US BE THEREWITH CONTENT (1 TIM 6:8).

225 SATAN IS ANYTHING OR ANYONE THAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE

226 MY OBEDIENCE TO THE OLD COVENANT MOVED GOD TO BLESS ME; MY OBEDIENCE TO THE NEW COVENANT MOVES ME TO RECEIVE GOD’S BLESSING

227 A FATHER WILL NEVER DEVELOP A SON WHO HE OVERSHADOWS

228 OLD COVENANT PRAYER WAS OFFERED TO MOVE GOD TO BLESS MAN; NEW COVENANT PRAYER IS OFFERED TO MOVE ONESELF UNDER THE BLESSING GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDED

229 NEVER TAKE THE “NATURAL” OUT OF THE “SUPERNATURAL.”

230 DUNAMIS IS THE POWER OF SELF

231 WOE IS UNTO US WHO FOCUS MORE ON THE SACRIFICE WE MAKE THAN ON THE GIFT WE ARE TO GIVE (ROBERT NORTON)

232 MY DAD: “I CUT THE WOOD WHEN YOU COULD NOT. NOW YOU CUT THE WOOD BECAUSE I AM NOT, SO THAT YOU CAN CUT THE WOOD WHEN I CANNOT.”

233 ALL VALID AUTHORITY HAS ITS ORIGIN IN GOD AND ALL TRUE SUBMISSION IS, THEREFORE, UNTO GOD

234 A WORD, WHETHER BY PRAYER OR PROPHECY, SPOKEN INTO THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE KINGDOM IS NEVER LOST, BUT IS FOREVER AVAILABLE IN ANY AGE TO THE EAR OF THE LISTENING BELIEVER. 

235 CONVENIENCE FOR CONVENIENCE’S SAKE MOST OFTEN HAS UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCE

236 TO EMPOWER ANOTHER IS TO ENCOURAGE AND ENABLE HIM BEYOND HIS PERCEIVED ABILITY AND TO ASSUME REPONSIBILITY IF HE FAILS

237 I CANNOT MOVE BEYOND MY FAILURE UNTIL I ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT

238 WHAT OF THE WORLD NOW IF ADAM HAD ACCEPTED RERSPONSIBILITY FOR HIS FAILURE

238 THE LAW FORCES ITS PENALTY FOR OUR TRANSGRESSION AS LONG AS WE DECLARE OUR INNOCENCE

239 PRIMARY MANDATE OF SONSHIP: ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURE

240 I PREFER OVER-QUALIFICATION TO INCOMPETENCE

241 LIBERTY: TRUTH WITHOUT LOVE DISCOURAGES THE PROCESS; LOVE WITHOUT TRUTH DEFEATS THE PROCESS; THE TRUTH SPOKEN IN LOVE INSURES THE PROCESS

242 MAN HAS NOTHING GOD DIDN’T GIVE HIM

244 REVELATION HAS NO REAL LIFE TILL IT BECOMES PRESENT REALITY

243 IF YOU POSSES IT YOU MUST POLICE IT

245 AT THE COMING OF THE KING, ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE DONE AS THEY OUGHT MAY DO AS THEY WILL

246 PERSONAL POWER IS NOT IN THE PRACTICE OF RELIGION, BUT IS IN GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE KINGDOM’S KING

247 IF THE CHRISTIAN FOUNDING FATHERS HAD DEMONSTRATED THE SAME PASSIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD HUMAN GOVERNMENT AS SOME OF US, WE WOULD STILL BE SERVING THE KING OF ENGLAND

248 THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL DID NOT KILL US; BUT, THE ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF IT SURELY DID

249 THE ONE “SCARED TO DEATH” OF DEATH IS DEAD ALREADY

250 PERSONAL POWER THROUGH FAITH IS NOT IN THE PRACTICE OF RELIGION BUT IN GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE KINGDOM’S KING

251 THE BATTLE FOR THE BODY: GOD WANTS TO OWN IT, THE DEVIL WANTS TO TAKE IT, I WANT IT TO ENJOY IT, OTHERS WANT TO WORK IT, WORMS WANT TO EAT IT, DISEASE WANTS TO TORMENT IT, THE DUST WANTS IT BACK, AND THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TAX IT.  OH WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM……

252 MY WALLS OF PROTECTION NECESSARILY BECOME AT ONCE THE WALLS OF MY PRISON

253 THE PATHWAY TO LIBERTY IS PAVED WITH DISCIPLINE

254 MAN’S DEFINITION OF LIFE IS “ANIMATED DUST”; GOD’S DEFINITION OF LIFE IS “THAT WHICH ANIMATES THE DUST”

255 PLEASE THE DEVIL: BLAME HIM FOR SOMETHING

256 THE SON OF GOD BECAME THE SON OF MAN THAT ANY SON OF MAN MIGHT BECOME A SON OF GOD

257 BABES NEED THE NURTURE OF HEAVEN OVER THE REALITY OF DEATH; THE MORE MATURE NEED THE REALITY OF THE KINGDOM OVER THE WOES OF THIS AGE                                                                        

258 FOR CHRIST’S SAKE GOD WILL NEVER REMEMBER WHO YOU WERE; NEITHER WILL HE EVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE

259 NOTHING RESTS THAT IS NOT BALANCED

260 WE PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE AND AWAIT DIVINE RELIEF OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES RATHER THAN BELIEVING THE SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM

261 TRUE SECURITY RESPECTS ALL AS EQUALS

262 IT CAN’T COME OUT IF IT NEVER COMES UP

263 IF I DECIDE WHEN I WILL SERVE I AM NOT A SERVANT

264 THE BIBLE: ALL TRUTH OR NOT TRUTH AT ALL

265 ALTHOUGH MY CIRCUMSTANCES MAY REMAIN THE SAME, BIBLICAL OVERCOMING CHANGES MY RESPONSE TO THEM

266 WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE FLUENTLY BY DIVINE NATURE RATHER THAN MECHANICALLY BY NATURAL WILL

267 IF I LIVE IN YESTERDAY, TODAY WILL FOREVER BE TOMORROW; IF I LIVE IN TOMORROW, TODAY WILL BE FOREVER YESTERDAY; IF I LIVE IN TODAY, I CAN IMPROVE ON YESTERDAY SO I CAN HAVE A BETTER TOMORROW

268 WHEN YESTERDAY'S ANGER MARRIES TOMORROW'S FEAR THEY BEGET A DANGEROUS TODAY

269 FINANCIAL CANCEL CULTURE: ALIAS FOR MARK OF THE BEAST

270 AMAZING THEOLOGY: IF IT GOES OUR WAY, GOD IS IN CONTROL; ANYTHING GOES ANOTHER WAY, THE DEVIL DID THAT.

271 NEVER LOAN MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE

272 DOING GOD'S WILL MY WAY???

273 IF IT EVER WILL BE, THROUGH FAITH IT ALREADY IS

274 IN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S ETERNITY EACH OBEDIENCE PREPARES US FOR THE NEXT

275 ONENESS IS NOT EVERYONE DOING HIS OWN THING; ONENESS IS NOT EVERYONE DOING THE SAME THING; ONENESS IS EVERYONE GIVING HIS OWN THING TO ACCOMPLISH ONE THING TOGETHER

276 A MIXTURE MAINTAINS THE INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY OF ITS PLURAL ELEMENTS WHILE THE PLURAL ELEMENTS OF ONENESS FORFEIT THEIR INDIVIDUALITY TO BECOME ONE IDENTITY

277 A MIXTURE IS A DISSOLVEABLE CONTRACT OF ADDITION AGREED ON BY TWO OR MORE PARTIES, EACH MAINTAINING ITS INDIVIDUALITY FOR THE SAKE OF PERSONAL IDENTITY; ONNESS IS AN INDISSOLVEABLE COVENANT OF MULTIPLICATION ENTERED INTO BY TWO OR MORE PARTIES, EACH FORFEITING ITS INDIVIDUALITY FOR THE SAKE OF SYNERGY THE PLURAL ELEMENTS OF ONENESS BECOME A SINGULAR INDIVISIBLE IDENTITY

278 I CANNOT APPLY THE WORD I DON'T KNOW, BUT, IF I DON'T APPLY THE WORD I DO KNOW, I WASTED MY TIME LEARNING, AND, IF I LEARN AND APPLY THE WORD SELFISHLY, I MISSED THE WHOLE POINT OF KNOWING IT
