OUR PEARLS

“Do not give dogs what is sacred;
do not throw your pearls to pigs.
If you do,
they may trample them under their feet,
and then turn and tear you to pieces.”
“ARE YOU REALLY BORN AGAIN?”
Posted by Werner Dekarski in Diary on February 7, 2010
Today the book with the title “Are you really born again?” by Kent Philpott came again to my mind. The book has been on one of our book-shelves for a long time, but I have never read it. Today I looked through it.
“Are you really born again?”
Other questions come also to my mind. Here they are:
“He replied, ‘Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.’”
That are the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Are you really planted by the heavenly Father of the Lord Jesus Christ?
“‘No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, ….’”
Are you really drawn by the Father?
“For HE chose us in him before the creation of the world…”
Are you really chosen in him before the creation of the world?
“To God’s elect, strangers in the world,….”
Are you really elected?
“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Are you one of the few?
KNOW YOUR BIBLE!!

We are hearing and reading so much today.
I WANT TO DO WHAT THE BEREANS DID.
“NOW THE BEREANS WERE OF MORE NOBLE CHARACTER THAN THE THESSALONIANS, FOR THEY RECEIVED THE MESSAGE WITH GREAT EAGERNESS AND EXAMINED THE SCRIPTURES EVERY DAY TO SEE IF WHAT PAUL SAID WAS TRUE.”
FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

I read that there is tombstone with the following writing on it:
“As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, you are sure to be.
So may I say , as now I lie,
Prepare yourself, to follow me.”
Underneath was written with chalk:
“To follow you I ‘m not content,
Until I know which way you went.”
BLOOD …………..!
Posted by Werner Dekarski in Diary on February 5, 2010
BLOOD upon the tip of his right ear! BLOOD upon the thumb of his right hand! BLOOD upon the great toe of his right foot.
*************
In my reading of the Bible, the Word of the Living God, I have arrived at book number three of the Bible, the book of Leviticus. It has 27 chapters. It is all about the Levites, the priests of God. At the beginning of the year I started at Genesis 1:1. Genesis means “beginnings”.
Today I read Leviticus 14:14: “The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.” (Leviticus 8:23)
What is the meaning of that?
I remember a book by D. L. Moody on my book shelf explaining that verse. But I cannot remember when I heard a sermon from the book of Leviticus. Do you remember? If so, please let me know. It is a widely neglected book.
The book by Dwight Liman Moody is called: “Sovereign Grace”. D. L. Moody lived from 1837-1899. He is called the ‘prince’ of the Evangelists. D. L. Moody had his own school and even Abraham Lincoln came one day to be a listener in the school of Mr. Moody. The school was so famous. Abraham Lincoln became president of America in 1860.
The book “Sovereign Grace” by D. L. Moody is a very, very old book. I cannot find the date when it was printed in the book. I remember finding it in a second hand shop (Kawakawa?). I bought it for exactly 5o cents. It says so in the book. The name of one owner is also written in the book and Kawakawa (Name of a place). I have said it before and I am saying it again: It seems to be that I pick up my best books in second hand shops for almost nothing.
Leviticus 8:23 “Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.” Read also Leviticus 14:14!
D. L. Moody asks the question: “What does it man?” He admits that that was another verse he used to stumble over.
– Blood on the ear. — Blood on the hand. — Blood on the foot.
But in the book he says that he now understands.
– Blood on the EAR.
Without it we cannot hear the voice of God.
– Blood on the HAND.
That we may work for God. Moody says, “No man or woman can do anything to please God until they have believed on his Son.”
– Blood on the FOOT.
To walk with God. Moody again, “God never walked with the Israelites until the blood was sprinkled in Goshem.”
God’s Hall of Fame
GOD’S HALL OF FAME
This crowd on earth
They soon forget
The heroes of the past.
They cheer like mad
Until you fall
And that’s how long you last.
But God does not forget
And in his Hall of Fame
BY JUST BELIEVING IN HIS SON
Inscribed you’ll find your name.
I tell you, friends,
I would not trade
My name however small
Inscribed up there
Beyond the stars
In that celestial hall.
For any famous name on earth
Or glory that they share
I’d rather be an unknown here
And have my name up there.
