Why do we selectively pick and choose verses from The Holy Scriptures? I suppose there are as

many reasons for that as there are verses in the Bible itself. In 2004 a major reason must be

pressure for time. Man has always worked against a deadline, imposed by God, it is the span of a

man's lifetime. It's not what God had in mind when He created man but He gave man free will

and one instruction. Do not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, for in that day you

will surely die. We can prove without fear of being challenged that everyone of God's Promises

throughout the history of man have come true. Bible prophecies are specific promises to occur at

specified times. Sometimes specified by God and not known by man but always extremely specific

and extremely precise. What follows is a list of our favorite Passages, Promises and Prophecies of

God and their impact on man. Keep in mind that all of God's Prophecies except those involving

the End-Times have already been fulfilled. That is not so with Promises, because promises are

ongoing. He has promised to redeem my soul. That promise continues far into eternity.

This is a difficult task at best. Who am I to pick and choose among what God has had to say to

man? Is the very smallest verse less important than Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible? "I

thirst" were two of the last words Christ spoke on the cross. Insignificant? Hardly! But we will

attempt this to help the new convert to Christianity. We invite you to study the WHOLE Word

and not just our idea of what's best. But until you get your own list going of God's Promises to

You perhaps ours will do. May the Holy Spirit Bless these Promises and apply them to your heart

and mind and soul. They bring the Peace that Passes All Understanding, it truly is like a healing

salve or as the Psalmist put it, the Balm of Gilead...

PEACE TO THOSE WHO ENTER + + + + + SALVATION TO THOSE WHO LEAVE



God says, His paths are beyond man's tracing out...

Can the clay vessel know the intentions of the Potter?

These are the Gems of The Bible, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires all nestled among

solid rocks of gold...

Store your treasure in Heaven... for where your heart is that is where you will be also...
The word-for-word is:
Matthew 6:19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where

thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and

where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

You meant for evil but God meant it for good...

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me...

We are joint heirs with Jesus...

Take up your cross and follow me...

Allow the Little Children to come to me, for this is what the Kingdom of Heaven is made of.

Cash or Christ, choose now whom you will serve... [severely paraphrased]

The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil... Jesus speaking

Love your enemy as you love yourself...

Go into all the world and spred the Good News... Jesus' Great Commission

In my Father's house there are many rooms... I go to prepare a place for you...

I shall return for you... if it wasn't so I would tell you so...

Whisper of Hope, Faith, Love, Charity, Compassion, Grace, Mercy; for these are the eternal

things...

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep for something he can never lose...

One of my favorite images is the Kneeling Santa, Santa in a nativity scene on one knee, hat in

hand, kneeling at the crude wooden feed trough that was a baby's cradle. It was his Master, his

Lord, his Savior, it was God come to earth in the form of baby. Born in a humble stable He was

and is The King of Kings. Wise men still seek Him...

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The

Prince of Peace.

Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord...

It was the birth day of a king...

Live more simply so others may simply live...
