The first thing in religion is, to state the Object of it right, and to acknowledge and receive it for such. This, I confess, is the intent of this First Precept of the Law, which is therefore the basis and foundation that bears the weight of all the rest. And therefore, as we said before, though the preface looks to them all, yet it looks first to this which is nearest it, and is knit with it, and through it to all the rest. The preface asserted God’s authority as the strength of His law, and this First Precept commands the acknowledgment and embracing of that His authority, and His alone, as God. And this is the spring of our obedience to all His commandments.

Robert Leighton (Archbishop of Glasgow, 1611 – 1684)

I would like to dedicate this month to people who have had cancer or are battling cancer as we speak. I have a personal friend who has had cancer twice and by the grace of God has survived both battles. I have a lot in common with this gentleman from running the streets and life experiences, we were both complete knuckle heads when the LORD decided to pull us out of this world and bring us both into the Kingdom of God. I personally witnessed this man’s battle with cancer both times and how the LORD totally used both battles for this man’s good. I have known Eddie and his wife Angelica for a long time and I know about so many battles that they have had throughout the years and how the LORD has totally blessed their lives, by them continuing to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. They are two of the most awesome people you will ever meet and they are totally on fire for the LORD.

When Eddie was diagnosed with the cancer he had purchased his 62 impala and it was a running rolling car, but in very rough condition. It needed to be totally restored and Eddie and Angelica decided that an off the frame full restoration was the way to do it. So they dedicated themselves to the end of this project and as you can see from the link that is at the end of this post, it was a total success.

Just as Eddie and Angelica decided to do a full off the frame restoration on this beautiful 1962 impala, to invest their time and money, to use it as a ministry to reach out to a demographic that most do not, God has blessed them for it. Eddie has read Lowrider magazine since his childhood and God has made one of Eddie’s dreams come true, by giving him a spot in the magazine with his car. But that was not all that the LORD was doing, for during the time that Eddie was dealing with his chemotherapy for his cancer diagnosis, he was reading his Bible daily and meditating on Psalm 62, and since his Impala is a 1962, he decided to glorify the LORD by dedicating his car by naming it, “62 PSLMS”. For Eddie understood as God was restoring him to better health, Eddie was doing the same to this 1962 Impala. Not only was God restoring Eddie’s health, but also his soul. And as you will see, Eddie did the same to this 1962 Impala, better than new!

The book contains the foundation truths of theology, cosmogony, anthropology, sociology, hamartiology, ethnology, soteriology. These words are used with the express purpose of indicating the profound conviction that Genesis is preeminently a scientific book. None of these subjects are dealt with finally, but all are presented fundamentally. Genesis supplies men with the rudiments of the science of God. It offers a theory of the origin of the universe. It says the first thing concerning the science of man. It lays the foundations of the science of society. It reveals the simplest matters of the science of sin. It introduces the study of the science of races. Finally, it presents the initial truths concerning the science of salvation.

I am at peace with God and all mankind.

Harriet Tubman (American Abolitionist, Died 1913)

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

Harriet Tubman (American Abolitionist, Died 1913)

Want me, was the Lord. I always told him, ‘I trust to you. I don’t know where to go or what to do, but I expect you to lead me,’ and He always did.

Harriet Tubman (American Abolitionist, Died 1913)

Lord, I’m going to hold steady on to You and You’ve got to see me through.

Harriet Tubman (American Abolitionist, Died 1913)

The Lord who told me to take care of my people meant me to do it just as long as I live, and so I did what he told me.

Harriet Tubman (American Abolitionist, Died 1913)

If the Gospel and the Apostles may be credited, no man can be a Christian without charity, and without that faith which works, not by force, but by love.

John Locke (English Philosopher, 1632 – 1704)

Reason is natural revelation, whereby the eternal father of light, and fountain of all knowledge, communicates to mankind that portion of truth which he has laid within the reach of their natural faculties: revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries communicated by God. . . .

John Locke (English Philosopher, 1632 – 1704)
