Christian Photographers Community

Good day to all.  Hope that you all had a great day at the Lords house.

Pat the picture was so beautiful and I dont know if you have seen pictures of  Walter Campbell paintings and your picture would fit in with his.  Hope that you are feeling well. Talked to John and Judy jesterday and John seems very excited about his new challenge.

To the couple who is dealing with siezures. Will be praying for you as I know what they are like I have had 5 and pray and hope that I have no more.

May the Lord be with you all  and for those of you on this site lets all pray for each other every day and I know that God answers Prayer.

              Praise his name.   Gord.

Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone!

Pat, I remember the Revised Standard referred to Mary the mother of Jesus as "a young woman" and the furor that ensued.  Maybe other versions have made the same 'mistake" (I do not think it was a mistake, I believe it was an intentional thing from the enemy.)  I love the King James because that's what I was raised with, and also love the Amplified because I can hear it better.    Really, because it clarifies things, using the meanings of the original Greek and Hebrew words.  And for just reading the Word, I do enjoy the Message paraphrase (not a translation.)

Well----a death sentence for Saddam Hussein.  What will this mean to the situation in Iraq?  Pray, friends, pray!

Pat, I LOVE that photo, would love to have an enlargement to frame and hang on my wall!

I hope this posts this time!

Good morning...Monday morning here... 

I started on the KJV, too.  I was certainly happy when someone gave me a New American Standard, and even happier when I found the NIV, though!

I usually plan what version to read for a year, and stick to reading that version.  When I study to teach others, or when I have a doubt about a passage in a particular version, I go to another version, then, if necessary, dust off my greek NT, wrench my brain cells, get on my knees, and see what the Holy Spirit will teach me.

Without a doubt, though, whenever I witness to a young person (who speaks English), and end up giving him a new testament and encourage them to read it, it is NOT the King James version.  I give them The Message or the New International Version, without hesitation, 'cause I know they will be more likely read either of those, simply because it is in today's English!

I get a kick out of preachers who say the King James is the only version they use and recommend, then spend a great deal of their sermon time "explaining" each verse for their listeners, before they even begin to preach!  I guess they are qualified to paraphrase.

From my reading on this Monday morning, a couple of lines that I will meditate on today...from Hebrews 4.

God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey.  Nothing and no one is impervious to God's Word. We can't get away from it—no matter what.

In His Grip,
Kevin

Hi everyone.  We had a very nice morning at church with a combined service to kick off our stewardship campaign.  We had a combination of contemporary and traditional in the service and it was nice to see all members together rather than in separate services.  Following the service, which lasted over 90 minutes, we had a congregational luncheon catered by one of the bar-b-que places.  The food was good.  We came home and had a nice nap and thought our son and daughter-in-law would be here late this afternoon but he called awhile ago and said they would see us tomorrow as they hadn't left for Atlanta yet.  They are going to be in town a couple of days. 

Pat, that was a beautiful photo.  Our trees have just be beyond description this year and I have heard numerous people commenting on them.  There was no need to go to the mountains to see the leaves this year as we have many trees around us and they are wearing a wide variety of colors.

I have used online bill paying for several years and really like it. 

I have appreciated the postings the last couple of days. 

Nita, that's such a great verse!

"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, purify your hearts and don't be double minded."  James 4:8

It speaks volumes

So much for another week.
