“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:” Genesis 12:1-2, KJV

“And [Moses] said, IF THOU WILT diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26, KJV
“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF THOU SHALT keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.” Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 9, KJV
“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and THOU SHALT CALL THEM TO MIND among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And SHALT RETURN unto the LORD thy God, and SHALT OBEY his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That THEN the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 30:1-10, KJV

I apologize that I haven’t been able to visit each of your timelines personally in order to leave you a personal note of gratitude, but to be honest, there have just been too many of you who have accepted my friend request, and I do keep quite busy with the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21, KJV
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15, KJV
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28, KJV
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:” 1 Peter 2:22, KJV

For when ye ought to be teachers,
At one time the Apostle Paul said,
Although it’s rather disappointing,
Like babies we treat you instead.
Dull of hearing Paul had told them,
They weren’t ready for strong meat,
Their spiritual growth was stunted,
So Paul just gave them milk to eat.
Today there are likewise Christians,
Who don’t seem to grow in the Lord,
They are spoon-fed by their pastor,
Never learning how to use a sword.
Now perhaps they believe in Jesus,
And that of course is good and well,
But being saved is just a beginning,
About Jesus others we need to tell.
If our own Salvation is all we’re after,
Then sadly we have missed the goal,
God looks for diligent, hard workers,
Who want to witness and win a soul.
Just sitting in a pew year after year,
Is not developing our faith all that far,
But should we help win folks to Jesus,
Then we’ll shine like the brightest star.
