Rick and I got back at midnight on Mon, for some reason both of us had a difficult sleeping. I was literally up all night. Yesterday I was absolutely wasted.
Last night, good sleep, yay.
I have a few really cute things Macy said that I want to get blogged before I forget.
When Stella and Macy and I picked up Papaw from the airport, a big very pink suitcase kept going around on the conveyer belt, and we were all commenting how pink it was. Then as we were driving home Macy said,"Member that big ole pink suitcase, Papaw?"
Paige wouldn't let the girls have gum, mostly because she didn't want the mess it can make, then a week or so ago she let them have gum to chew and they both enjoyed it. On Sunday she gave them gum again and they were both chewing it. A little later Macy was evidently looking for her gum and said, "I put it right on the table and somebody stole it." Hmmmm, not sure who would steal her piece of used chewing gum....
Pics to follow in another post when I have time.
SAVED LIKE WHOM? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteWas Abraham, Noah, Moses, Enoch, and Elijah saved? Yes, they were. Can men today be saved like these men? No.
Abraham, Noah, Moses, Enoch, and Elijah were saved without believing Jesus was the Son of God. They were saved without confessing Jesus as Lord. They were saved without believing that God raised Jesus from the grave. They were saved without being baptized into Christ. The were saved without being baptized in water for the forgiveness of their sins. Can men living today be saved like theses men? No, they were all saved before the new covenant was in force.
Was the thief on the cross saved? Yes. Can men today be saved like the thief? No. The thief did not believe in his heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. He was not baptized for the forgiveness of his sins. He was not baptized into Christ. The thief was saved before the new covenant was in force.
