Keith Green - Lies





Lies

When I was young I used to believe everything that I heard, just what I heard.

But now the only thing that I can believe is God`s word, His Holy Word.

But even now my doubts will open up for me a world that I just despise.

And then the shades come down, the light turn off,

and I`m left alone with my helpless cries.

When I hear all his lies. All of the devil`s wicked lies.

If you believe and your faith just dies.

Don`t you be a fool, don`t you even open up,

or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies.


I want to go around the world and prove Jesus lives, You know He lives.

And we`re not only friends, we`re family, we`re relatives, relatives.

But when I`m far from home and so alone, and my imagined fears get so
oversized.

That`s when I listen to the one no one should listen to, and get fooled by his
disguise.

Feeling weak from his lies, all of his bad wicked lies,

If you believe and your faith just dies.

Don`t you get fooled, don`t you even open up,

or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies.


If you`re well read, you probably know how the story goes.

That wolf can look so good especially dressed in the right clothes, the wooly
clothes.

And as he starts to knit the counterfeit he`ll totally make you feel like
you`re paralyzed.

He`ll keep you spun around and looking down,

Just when you should be looking straight to the skies.

Pleading help from his lies, all of the devil`s wicked lies.

If you believe and your faith just dies.

Don`t you be a fool, don`t you even open up, or expose yourself,

To one of his wicked lies, to one of his wicked lies.

OUR GOD is with us, Emanuel





Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?


"Pain is the root of knowledge and happiness."


Simone Weil





















"Pain is the root of knowledge and happiness."

“A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.”

"
“Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.”

“The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell”

“The poet produces the beautiful by fixing his attention on something real”

Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does.”

“The highest ecstasy is the attention at its fullest.”

“Difficult as it is really to listen to someone in affliction, it is just as difficult for him to know that compassion is listening to him.”

“The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say to him, "What are you going through?"”

“In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!”

“To be a hero or a heroine, one must give an order to oneself.”

the pain ...

A friend is someone who, upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.

Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.

There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know. It is caused by the absence of you.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Let us talk sense to the American people. Let us tell them the truth, that there are no gains without pains.

Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, pain of love lasts a lifetime.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advise, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand

MOTHER THERESA Of Calcutta: "
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
No gains without pains.

G.K. CHESTERTON
People in high life are hardened to the wants and distresses of mankind as surgeons are to their bodily pains.

“The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.” Jenifer Aniston

MAX LUCADO "the deepest love is built not on passion and romance but on common mission and sacrifice"

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”


ROMANI 5:3-5
3 Ba mai mult, ne bucurăm chiar şi în necazurile noastre; căci ştim că necazul aduce răbdare, 4 răbdarea aduce biruinţă în încercare, iar biruinţa aceasta aduce nădejdea. 5 Însă nădejdea aceasta nu înşală, pentrucă dragostea lui Dumnezeu a fost turnată în inimile noastre prin Duhul Sfînt, care ne -a fost dat.

(Romani 8:18".)Eu socotesc că
suferintele din vremea de acum nu sînt vrednice să fie puse alături de slava viitoare, care are să fie descoperită fată de voi"Adică suferintele de "acum" lucrează în viitor o slavă pe care Dumnezeu o va descoperi la timpul potrivit.

Pain- the GIFT Nobody Wants
















Evangelical preacher Billy Graham called the film "a lifetime of sermons in one movie".

1 Cine a crezut în ceea ce ni se vestise? Cine a cunoscut braţul Domnului?

2 El a crescut înaintea Lui ca o odraslă slabă, ca un Lăstar care iese dintr'un pămînt uscat. N'avea nici frumuseţă, nici strălucire ca să ne atragă privirile, şi înfăţişarea Lui n'avea nimic care să ne placă.

3 Dispreţuit şi părăsit de oameni, om al durerii şi obicinuit cu suferinţa, era aşa de dispreţuit că îţi întorceai faţa dela El, şi noi nu L-am băgat în seamă.

4 Totuş, El suferinţele noastre le -a purtat, şi durerile noastre le -a luat asupra Lui, şi noi am crezut că este pedepsit, lovit de Dumnezeu, şi smerit.

5 Dar El era străpuns pentru păcatele noastre, zdrobit pentru fărădelegile noastre. Pedeapsa, care ne dă pacea, a căzut peste El, şi prin rănile Lui sîntem tămăduiţi.

6 Noi rătăceam cu toţii ca nişte oi, fiecare îşi vedea de drumul lui; dar Domnul a făcut să cadă asupra Lui nelegiuirea noastră a tuturor.

7 Cînd a fost chinuit şi asuprit, n'a deschis gura deloc, ca un miel pe care -l duci la măcelărie, şi ca o oaie mută înaintea celor ce o tund: n'a deschis gura.

8 El a fost luat prin apăsare şi judecată; dar cine din cei de pe vremea Lui a crezut că El fusese şters de pe pămîntul celor vii şi lovit de moarte pentru păcatele poporului meu?

9 Groapa Lui a fost pusă între cei răi, şi mormîntul Lui la un loc cu cel bogat, măcar că nu săvîrşise nicio nelegiuire şi nu se găsise niciun vicleşug în gura Lui.

10 Domnul a găsit cu cale să -L zdrobească prin suferinţă... Dar, dupăce Îşi va da viaţa ca jertfă pentru păcat, va vedea o sămînţă de urmaşi, va trăi multe zile, şi lucrarea Domnului va propăşi în mînile Lui.

11 Va vedea rodul muncii sufletului Lui şi se va înviora. Prin cunoştinţa Lui, Robul Meu cel neprihănit va pune pe mulţi oameni într'o stare după voia lui Dumnezeu, şi va lua asupra Lui povara nelegiuirilor lor.

12 De aceea Îi voi da partea Lui la un loc cu cei mari, şi va împărţi prada cu cei puternici, pentrucă S'a dat pe Sine însuş la moarte, şi a fost pus în numărul celor fărădelege, pentrucă a purtat păcatele multora şi S'a rugat pentru cei vinovaţi.

Isaia 53
