God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The strongest support of the doctrine of Endless Punishment is the teaching of Christ, the Redeemer of man… The Apostles enter far less into detailed description, and are far less emphatic upon this solemn theme, than their divine Lord and Master. And well they might be. For as none but God has the right, and would dare, to sentence a soul to eternal misery, for sin; and as none but God has the right, and would dare, to execute the sentence; so none but God has the right, and should presume, to delineate the nature and consequences of the sentence.
William Shedd

In Jeremiah’s prophecy of the new covenant, Jeremiah explicitly says, “It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I led them by the hand out of Egypt” (Jer. 31:32). How will it be different? For one thing, it will be unbreakable (v. 32). For another, all the members of that covenant will be regenerate, the law written on their hearts (v. 33). Yet another difference will be that the covenant will not operate according to natural lines of birth and descent, but through spiritual birth (vv. 29-30). Here the discontinuity between the new covenant and the Mosaic covenant is enormous: a covenant of grace, not works; a covenant that regenerates rather than kills; a covenant entered into through spiritual rather than natural birth. And yet for all this discontinuity, Jeremiah is clear that this new covenant is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel, made to their forefather Abraham.

    I appreciate the patience you've shown with me and the 

    notes and kind words that were sent in response to 

    yesterday's issue of DDC. 

    I'm still learning this site and for some reason, yesterday's

    post did not go through so I'm resending it now.

    Stampede 

    Our children's Sunday School classes were presenting 

    their end of the year program for the congregation - 

    telling about the life of Jesus. 

    When it came to the part about Jesus' miracles, one 

    little boy said, "Yes, Jesus raised Lazarus from the 

    dead!" The teacher urged him to tell us more. 

    He said, "Well, Jesus told them to open the tomb, and 

    then He said, 'Lazarus, come out!' And it's a good 

    thing he didn't just say 'Come out!' because there 

    would have been a stampede of dead guys." 

    Needless to say our congregation enjoyed the presentation 

    very much.

    Believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities. 

    Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your 

    own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

    Handy Man

    A man sees a job ad posted on a construction site, 

    "Handy man wanted; apply within." 

    So he does and speaks to the foreman.

    "Can you drive a Bobcat?" the foreman asks. 

    "No."

    "Can you plaster?" 

    "No."

    "Have you ever done any carpentry?" 

    "No." 

    "If you don't mind me asking," says the foreman, 

    "what's so handy about you?" 

    "Well, I only live about five minutes down the road..."
