The Elect
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Do you think that Jesus just walked up to strangers and pick out His disciples? No, He knew them from the first earth age before the over throw of satan, because of his rebellion against God and their dedication to God. That’s why He told Jeremiah, I knew you before you were in the womb. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. It’s no accident that you seek God and have the desire to study God’s Word. Christ is saying that He is a friend to the Election and He will supply all of your needs when you are witnessing for Him. When we ask in Jesus’ name we are agreeing that Jesus is the Son of God and we are honoring Jesus Christ and are part of His Kingdom.

A review by C. L. Cotner
This review is from: Sargon the Magnificent (Paperback)
I agree with two of the other reviewers who make such a bold remark, this IS THE BEST BOOK I've ever read, or rather my FAVORITE BOOK. I would be amiss if I failed to mention that there have been other "books" in my life that have been more important. But for a definitive place to "start with the story" - Sargon is impossible to beat. Not only does Mrs. Bristowe prove that this was Cain, but she unknowingly proves, I think, that Cain was the offspring of Eve and the Serpent and that explains just about everything! Don't worry about the conspiracy theory of an "us vs. them" that some say is the basis for the telling of this piece of our human history. God settled that issue once before in the story of Noah 2,000 years later. Christ himself called them out too, 2,000 years after that! He even said that the key to knowing the time of his return is Noah. They are still here and they are to be taken care of by the One who also made them and still offers them love and forgiveness, just like He does you and me. Besides, who knows that we all don't have some of Cain's blood in us. It's none of our business in other words, nothing we can do about it. What's important is just, for you & me to know the story! It's another piece of the puzzle, but a BIG piece, and a Dot to connect that makes just about everything else in the world make sense now. That is, if you've ever wondered how we got to be this way? It's not for the light thinker nor faint of heart; and it's a pretty hard if not wild story to swallow. But with a sincere heart to know the truth, even if you don't like it, and a completely opened mind, the reader will not help but be able to draw their own conclusions about one of the biggest cover-ups of all time!

Three Earth Ages
(11.) There are three earth ages in God's Word. You will find in Genesis 1 verse 2, in the Hebrew, that the words about the earth 'was without form and void', in reality mean 'laid waste' and 'a ruin'. The word 'was' means 'became'; the phrase 'without form' (tohuw) means 'to lie waste, a desolation'; and 'void' (bohuw) means 'an undistinguishable ruin'. God did not create the earth in this desolate state, as written in Isaiah 45:18, for the same Hebrew word, tohuw is written there. Satan's rebellion caused this 'overthrow' so God destroyed that first earth age, the time of lost cities and ancient fossil remains. So there is a gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 that is alluded to in God's Word, but not in so much detail. There is no way of determining how long that first earth age was. This fact, established from God's Word dispels the myth that the earth is only 6,000 years old. This earth is literally millions of years old probably. Jehovah gave another warning referring to that time when He destroyed that first earth age with a trembling in Jeremiah 4. There you will find in Hebrew the words tohuw va bohuw again. He is warning His 'sottish' (foolish, silly) children that He's going to cause that 'trembling' of the mountains again. This will happen along with His 'consuming fire' that will burn up all the works of man from this earth, to 'renew' the earth for the last earth age, God's eternity.
The sin of Satan caused God to begin this now present flesh age, in order to give all a chance to come to The Father, except Satan and his host.. II Peter 3 also gives another reference to this with "...that by the word of God the heavens were of old,..." (II Peter 3:5). Also, this old earth's geographical pole is about 90 miles off from its true magnetic pole. Buttercups were found in the stomach of mammoths in Alaska, buried and frozen in ice, showing an instant and sudden freeze, not one gradually over time.There is a parallel to this in Isaiah 11 where it is written that in God's eternity the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the lion will eat straw like an ox. This hasn't happened yet friend.
This earth has become a desolation again today, similar to the earth's state at Genesis 1:2, and God is going to put the earth through a scrubbing, again. His children that love Him and try their best to follow His Word are not to worry, for He is not angry at them. This 'trembling', or putting back of this earth's original created state will happen again as it did after Lucifer rebelled. All will be in their spiritual or angelic bodies at that time, as written in I Cor.15, Luke 21, Zechariah 3, Matthew 22:30, Rev.22:8-9, and Ezekiel 39 through the end of that Book.
Try to understand that all souls were created by God in the beginning. The time we have spent in this little ole' flesh body is a drop in the bucket compared to the time in the spiritual body. Understanding these things are part of coming back into 'remembrance' of former things, and is part of God's Truth that will set you free. And these Truths dealing with the three earth ages and the differences between the 'angelic' and flesh body will help alleviate worries and anxieties concerning the future. Get into The Word for yourself. Don't rely on any man to do it for you. They will not be there to defend you on the day of The Great White Throne judgement. The Lord gave us His Word in order to set us free from this flesh state of sin, but truly in 'remembrance' of former things through His Son Christ Jesus are we in fact 'free'. This He gives for all those who love Him through Jesus Christ.

(12.) The seven signs Jesus taught in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are the seven seals of Revelation. One only need figure out their proper order according to Revelation, and you'll find that they match. Note that this was a 'private' teaching to the Apostles. Not everyone will understand, but if you are truly sincere with our heavenly Father, you will be considered in right of possession of the knowledge of these signs of the endtime. They are easy to understand given patience, nothing magical about it, only that sincerity and a pure heart is necessary, and of course, a willingness to study for yourself. Most new Christians make the mistake of jumping into the Book of Revelation before they have a proper foundation in the Old Testament. I don't care what any man says, if you don't properly understand much of the Old Testament, especially the Book of Genesis, you will not truly understand Revelation.

Antonio Stradivari
Antonio Stradivari was a seventeenth-century violin maker whose name in its Latin form, Stradivarious, has become synonymous with excellence. He once said:
"When any master holds, 'twixt chin and hand, a violin of mine, he will be glad Stradivari lived, made violins, and made them to his best. If my hand slacked - I should rob God...... because He is the fullest Good. God could not Stradivari's violins without Antonio."
He was right. God could not make Stradivarious violins without Antonio Stradivari. Certain gifts were given to that craftsman that no other violin maker possessed.
In the same vein, there are certain things you can do that no one else can. Perhaps it is parenting, or constructing houses, or encouraging the discouraged.
There are things that only you can do, and you are alive to do them. In the great orchestra we call life, you have an instrument and a song, and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely. ~ The Applause of Heaven by Max Lucado
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. ~ Psalm 139:14

The History of the Geneva Bible
The Geneva Bible was the "Bible of the Protestant Reformation", and the Bible of the Puritans and Pilgrims. It was the first Bible taken to America, brought over on the Mayflower. The Geneva Bible is the Bible upon which America was founded. You can imagine, most early American colonists, who were fleeing the religious oppression of the Anglican Church (Church of England), wanted nothing to do with the King James Bible of the Anglican Church!
John Calvin
John Calvin
Textually, the Geneva Bible offered a number of radical never-before-seen changes: It was the first Bible in English to add numbered verses to each chapter of scripture. Also, the Geneva was the first Bible to introduce easier-to-read “Roman Style Typeface” rather than the “Gothic Blackletter Style Typeface” which had been used exclusively in earlier Bibles. Another curious innovation; the Geneva was the first “Study Bible ” with extensive commentary notes in the margins.
Queen Mary
Queen Mary
The Geneva Bible is the version quoted from hundreds of times by William Shakespeare in his plays. Also called the “Breeches Bible”, the Geneva Bible is the only Bible ever able to outsell and exceed the popularity of the King James Bible, as it did in the early 1600’s until its printing ceased in 1644. In fact, one of the greatest ironies of history, is that Protestants of all denominations today embrace the King James Version of the Bible (which reads 90% the same as the Geneva), even though the King James Version is not a Protestant Bible (it’s Anglican / Church of England). Most Protestants have never even heard of the Bible of their own heritage: the Geneva Bible. It was produced by John Calvin, John Knox, Myles Coverdale, John Foxe, & other English refugees in ever-neutral Geneva, Switzerland… fleeing the persecution of Roman Catholic Queen “Bloody” Mary in England. Mary would not tolerate the Protestant Geneva Bible, which proclaimed the Pope an “antichrist” in its commentarynotes.

More of this and less of FaceBook
I get really tired of Facebook and would prefer to use a medium like this instead, Google has just come out with something called Google Wave and once it gets going will solve this problem also, Don't get me wrong FB has a lot of good things going for it but you have to put up with a lot of trash that you have no interest in.
Sermon Audio
Here is a site I found by accident and really like it, It's like Sermon Index and it's easy to use.

Why have a Blog?
There are as many reasons as there are blogs and I must say that many of them are quite good, Well written and informative. I went to a blog from a link on Twitter and there was a box at the top that said, "Next Blog" So I clicked on it and was just amazed at all the quality blogs I found, Each one from a different author on a variety of subjects. I have a blog on Word Press and have posted a few of my thoughts there. The purpose for this one is a little different though, Because I surf the internet so much in search of various things I'm interested in at the time and want to share what I find without filling up every ones in box, I thought I would post these things here then people can come here and check them out on their own.
