IN SEARCH OF WISDOM
Man searcheth, but where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Few knoweth its place nor its price, for it is priceless and its place is not where men look.
WISDOM COMETH BY FAITH
Wisdom never rests, though she may indeed forever, or for a time, withhold her knowledge in the hidden place… if the journey from darkness to light begins not by faith.
WISDOM EVERYWHERE
The height of understanding is the depth of wisdom; the width thereof is knowledge.
WISDOM
I bargained with life the wages I’ve made, whatever I negotiated life paid.
WISDOM
As my eyes decrease in light, my vision increases by hindsight, foresight, and insight.
DOCTRINE
The reverence of the Lord (Christ) is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of God (the Father) is understanding. For by learning doctrine (teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit) thy days shall be multiplied and the years of thy life shall be increased (excerpts from Proverbs, chapter 9).
FAITH
The eye of faith is a perfect view of God.
The image of existence reflecting God.
Faith did not invent God, it saw Him.
DIVINE LAWS – HEAVENLY MOVEMENT
Circuits strike weighted clouds releasing competent power; The sun and moon keep their tabernacle; the planets and stars, void but beautiful, fail not their assignment.
CREATION’S HARMONY
The mountains kiss the sky as the clouds embrace round about them; the wind whistles and the hills echo it down to the valleys where clear waters pass in rhythm; bees humming their tune – the flowers receive them; the birds sing their glorious songs; the trees of the forest clap their hands – all creation is harmony, but, who is listening.
DESTINY
All things work together for good by invincible necessity.
THE BIBLE
All Scripture is God-breathed, and refreshing in the lungs of the soul.
TEN COMMANDMENTS:
The Magna Carta of Human Freedom and Perpetuation – not the mechanics of salvation.
WISDOM SPEAKING
The Lord possessed me in a beginning that was not a beginning. In eternity past, before His works of old (the creation of anything), I was set up from everlasting to everlasting, and when He prepared the heavens, I was there (Excerpt from Proverbs, chapter 8).
THE WORD
In the beginning (that was not a beginning – literal interpretation) was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1 & 14a).
BONDAGE
All creation is under the bondage of corruption, groaning for redemption.
EQUALITY
Adam was created perfect; sin made all men unequal.
Faith in Christ makes the believer one in Him, and this is the only true equality.
JUDGEMENT
Humanity is condemned – only God can redeem, man can only believe.
TRUST
Faith minus worry.
PERSONAL
The history of humanity is found in judgement; humanity’s salvation is found in Christ.
FOREVER
God is eternal, thought-infinite. The believer everlasting, love forever.
FORESHADOW
History is prophecy.
HONESTY
Truth starts with God, ends with self.
Truth crushed by deceit shall rise again. Truth will find you out.
RIGHT AND WRONG
The easy way is the hard way, and the hard way is the easy way.
COURAGE
Courage protects freedom and truth;
it is the foundation of virtue, the strength of integrity, the structure of character.
CHRISTIANITY
God does the work of salvation.
RELIGION
Man does the work of salvation.
Counterfeit to Christianity. The devil’s ace trump.
COUNTERFEITERS
All religion is a collective satanic counterfeit. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship to God through faith in His Son.
INTERNATIONALISM
Internationalism is satanic – it is satan’s attempt to be the world dictator, and therefore a counterfeit of Jesus Christ and His millennial kingdom.
JUDGEMENT
Human nature is the source of sin, the reason for condemnation, and the necessity of Jesus Christ.
HEREAFTER
In life we face death, in death we face life. Both Heaven and hell are full of sinners.
DEATH
Death is but a transfer from time to eternity.
WONDER
Time and eternity run simultaneous, though mutually exclusive – inseparable for a time.
LOVE
Love is powerful and vulnerable.
Love is awesome, never lonesome.
A heart that gives with innocence, how sweet, how dear its dwelling place.
LOVE’S LAST WORDS
All is the same as before, my love – only sleep!
MY SOUL TO KEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
Only my body is buried deep
Heaven my spirit and soul do keep.
LOVE NEEDS NO LANGUAGE
Hush! Be still – cheek to cheek.
LOVE ME NOW – TELL ME HOW
If you haven’t sweet thoughts about me, tell me now,
If you have sweet thoughts about me, tell me how;
If you can live without me, tell me how,
If you can’t live without me, tell me now; If you’re never going to love me, tell me now;
If you’re ever going to love me, tell me how,
If you’re ever going to love me, love me now.
LOVE NEVER DIES
You are my love, from deep inside; my love always, ’cause love never dies.
TWO EYES
Darkness of night has only two eyes
that look upon my lover as she lies,
in beautiful passion time flies.
WINDOW SEAT
I like the welcome of my window seat, where I can sit to read or lie and sleep.
WIND AND TREES
The winds caress the trees,
the trees embrace the wind,
and both are cleansed.
FREEDOM
Liberty must know limitation, freedom must be protected,
laws, authority, and individual rights respected,
each generation must learn these principles at home,
or makes slaves of the next.
ADDICTION
Habit leads to destruction or deliverance.
MATH
Love is multiplied, never divided,
when hate and prejudice are subtracted.
VOLITION
Life can be good or bad – attitude makes the choice.
ARROGANCE
Human nature defined.
DEFINITION OF LIBERALISM AND PROGRESSIVISM
Evil!
All is lawful and nothing unlawful.
PARANOIA
He who buries his treasure
has no pleasure.
THE UNKNOWN
Man feareth death as a child feareth darkness,
both without light.
SELFISHNESS
Perpetuation of self.
LIVING HELL
Without norms and standards, there can be no conscience,
and if no conscience, no remorse – and if no remorse, only evil and chaos.
THEORY
Throw theory into a fire, it causes no flame, makes no ash;
To hell with evolution.
SCIENCE
The observation, experimentation, and classification
of divine laws in creation.
LAW
We must embrace the reason for laws
or lose the right to reason.
CHANGE
Yesterday is unchangeable;
today and tomorrow controllable.
TIME
Time is unstoppable, uncatchable, undeniable, and perpetual.
Each second of time is sent from eternity to embrace all creation, and returns whence it cometh sixty times a minute.
CONSCIOUSNESS
If we can be unconscious and live,
then we can die and be conscious.
LIFE AND DEATH
We shall never know all there is to life
until we have experienced death.
MUTUAL RESPECT
The lust patterns of human nature must be restrained if man is to co-exist. The rights, privacy, and property of individuals must be respected. Respect must be taught by parents. Freedom does not mean free to steal, ravish, and kill. Freedom means mutual respect. Mutual respect is the safeguard for the perpetuation of the human race. There is only respect or arrogance. The sum of self discipline is respect; the sum of liberty – respect.
NO AUTHORITY
Children telling parents what to do is rejection of divine and parental authority; human nature unrestrained and rebellious – indicative of degeneration in family values and society; the result of liberalism, and a straight shortcut to national- and self-destruction.
CHRISTIAN CHILDREN
If you really want to be a good daughter or son
just be the daughter or son your parents think you are.
BUREAUCRACY
Bureaucracy is mediocrity, and mediocracy strangles free enterprise.
Bureaucracy is socialism, and it is regimenting American industry out of business.
INDUSTRY
Industry provides opportunity – opportunity employs America.
FREE NATION
There has never been in history a free nation that did not have to fight for freedom, either to gain it or preserve it.
It is better to die on the battlefield of honor preserving freedom than to be a slave under tyranny.
GUNS AND THE MILITARY
If law-abiding citizens are disarmed, and the military neutralized, that nation will lose its sovereignty and its citizens to slavery.
– C. S. Craig February and March 1996
