  • Interests
    I enjoy reading, being on-line, making new friends, studying scripture with a good group such as this. <br><br> I am married to the love of my life for 48 years. Jim is the wind beneath my sails. He is from Philadelphia. We made a beautiful baby girl who is now married and has gifted us with 3 grandchildren: grandson , twin granddaughters.<br><br>I have heart failure which keeps me from being involved as I was before w/many activities.<br><br> I have been a disciple of the Lord since 1957 and baptised by immersion in 1964. My daughter and husband followed me into a relationship with Jesus, and now my son-in-law has also been immersed in baptism. Our grandchildren are disciples, have accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord. My prayer is that they stay strong in the faith to show their love of Jesus to others and to be protected in the evils of this world today. <br><br>I am interested in getting to know you all in a more personal way. One of God's Believers, saints, Christians, disciples whatever you would like to call me, I am His! ~Omie

    I look forward to a time that the many different sorrows of this world will no longer trouble me. I will have a glorious eternal time of joy and glory with my Father and Savior. Also with all those who are my brothers & sisters in Christ.
  2. Omie
    It will be more glorious then any of us can imagine.

    + When we compromise we become tolerant. This can lead us to lose "The Way". When we have lost that we have gone into a dangerous place from which it is difficult to return to the fold of our Lord. + As twenty-first century Christians are no different. We each must search ourselves so as not to be in the same position.

    + This is a difficult and sad subject. I know young people who are very close to me that have left home to live with someone they are not married to or have a sexual relationship. The culture of today has made this so easy, not many condemn this as most parents, grandparents or aunts, uncles have this in their families. + My moral convictions and the fear of losing them completely has kept me from being as condeming as I might otherwise be. + They know that I don't accept this and believe they are wrong. I pray for them and I pray that I may find the right words to keep them from sinning and go back to being "in the Lord's perfect will." Yet I too sin, not sexually but in many other ways. I am not without sin and so I am in a difficult position.

    + It's important to remember the church in Ephesus had *many great qualities* - this was when Believers met in homes, not buildings "called churches". This must refer to the love members no longer shared. Because if the *first love* was meant to be Jesus he wouldn't be praising them. + Lack of love among Believers is one of the first that shows up, not showing "agape" love to our fellow Believers than our love for Christ is also weak. We must Love One Another. + It shows up by not being close to our fellow saints/Christians. Ignoring them when something is needed. + To regain this love people must be attentive to others - share w/others, be there for their needs and to Repent and change our ways. ____________________________________________________________ Rev.2:6 - Surprised me, as Jesus tells them "You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."

    + The churches are His own and He knows them well. He is familiar enough to walk among them. + The long robe & sash signifies that Jesus is the high Priest, (Ex 28). This portion tells us Jesus walks among the churches as the Living God & tells John to write about this..
  7. Omie
    We now see Jesus with His distinctive features that have not been seen before. He is no longer the Son *only*. We now see Jesus as the exhalted Ruler. I am awed by this powerful Jesus . . . as John is. Yet Jesus assures John & us, as Believers, to have no fear of Him even as He has control over the keys.

    Welcome

    Omie replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in Check in here

    Blessings in the name of Jesus, I am Omie aka Myrtle. Omie is a diminutive from for grandmother in German. My heritage is German. I am a fifth generation American. My husband and I live in the Hill Country area of Texas and have a daughter, son in law and three grandkids. I invite your comments to my posts as I appreciate reading yours. Love in Jesus, ~Omie

    In the obvious ones, such as the middle east, some parts of India, and Israel is one where Christian Missionaries are persecuted. Germany almost forces people who are not strong in the faith to join a particular denomination, what a problem this is, as those people feel they are "Christians" yet don't even understand the first principles of God's grace and salvation. We here in the good old USA will face more persecutions in the coming decades. Do make your children and grandchildren aware of this coming danger. Revalation is so difficult to understand that I think one must have a firm foundation in the other books of the New Testament before one can find comfort in this book.

    That the Father is soverign and rules over all, all that has happened and will happen. And (in 1:17) Jesus was seen, he touched the author, and spoke "do not fear". He was human.
  11. Omie
    Jesus the Faithful witness can be counted on by Believers/Christians to send them that which is true and dependable. My faith in Jesus encouages me in all things. As to fear in our culture: I feel that it is inherent in mankind to protect themselves from ridicual. Why do I not ask my acquantances about what their faith is? I don't want them to be uncomfortable. Simple as that! If I see any sign that indicates they will accept my witness I certainly do so. I do know that my speech, my demeanor and no longer using tobacco or alcohol makes a definite impression on people. Some do not want my husband and me around them!

    This study has been so wonderful - last week was a busy one and I hurried through it. I am gratified that I had enough time this week to study for this topic. TO ALL: May each of you come away with a better understanding and appreciation of the sacrificial Lamb. I certainly have. Go with God, love, Omie aka Myrtle

    + The Lamb of God sits on God the Fathers right hand. God and Jesus are One, yet separate. Jesus, the Lamb, spread out His arms, dying for all. In John's vision, (5:9-14) to paraphrase: "in my vision I heard millions of angels singing a new song. All surrounded the throne. The saints prayers became jars of incense for the Lamb. All, those in heaven, on earth, and from the dead exclaimed: "The blessing, honor, glory and power belong to God, and to the Lamb, who is Jesus. All praise forever and ever, as the living creatures and elders worshipped....."
