Amen, Yorkie! You and Jaycee Both have Wonderful Reunions Ahead with your Loved Ones, and I'm Looking Forward to Seeing my Sweet Grandmother Again Someday. I Miss her, but I Know she is Happy in the Presence of the King.

Gatekeepers

READ: 1 Corinthians 3:1-17

The temple of God is holy, which temple you are. —1 Corinthians 3:17

In journalism, the term gatekeeper refers to reporters, editors, and publishers who consider various news items and determine which stories are newsworthy. Some long-time news professionals warn that the Internet allows information to get through without being checked at the gate.

In Old Testament times, gatekeepers guarded the temple to prevent those who were unclean from entering (2 Chron. 23:19). In ad 70, the temple was destroyed by the Roman armies of Emperor Titus. But the destruction began years earlier when the Levites assigned to guard it failed to do so after coming under the corrupt influence of the Syrian king Antiochus iv.

Paul called our bodies God’s “temple” (1 Cor. 3:16-17), and many forces are at work to assault God’s new dwelling. Evil may gain a foothold through unfortified areas of our spiritual life—places where envy, strife, or divisions may undermine us (3:3). Each of us must be on guard against the enemy of our souls and never give place to the devil (Eph. 4:27).

The criteria for what may enter is found in Philippians 4:8—whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy. The resulting peace will guard the gate of our hearts and minds.

Help me to guard my troubled soul
By constant, active self-control.
Clean up my thought, my speech, my play;
Lord, keep me pure from day to day. —Thomas

If you’re not on guard against evil you’ll be influenced by evil.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 30-31; Luke 13:23-35

I loved Johnn’s poem so much yesterday. Your picture just goes perfect with it. Maybe it should be posted again with the two together and more folks will read it! The poem with the picture of the chair is quite touching. Thank you both.

[jaycee]

Thank you, Kitty! What a precious goodnight kitty!

(This is how I'm answering the 4 parts/subjects in Your post Geebee!...in case You don't follow my meaning/pattern!!!!

I had to put the ...'s between the"'s so the"'s would have space beetween them,like regular quotation marks do,



LOL! I don't know the HTML code for what does that,thus the dots.)

The explainer in me strikes again:)I'm sure glad I know the break in sentences HTML code,it sure came in handy composing this relpy!:)

Love Ya, have a wonderful day!

[yorkie]

Good Morning to YOU, Jaycee!

Oh, Amy! That is the SWEETEST Graphic I have ever seen!
Thank you SO much for putting it all together so perfectly!

Have a WONDERFUL Thursday, today!

[WayzataJOHNN]

That’s a perfect picture for the poem, Yorkie, perfect!

[WayzataJOHNN]

I just wrote it after watching a woman rocking on a porch here, she had this timeless look to her, as if she was watching time on a different scale, a different viewpoint.

Morning John. I just saw a video of the Charleston WV tea party on YouTube, and I am the first person in the video with my big sign FREEDOMS ONCE LOST ARE LOST FOREVER.

With your permission, I will reprint the poem with the picture, then!

A poet is an artist. What the words mean to the writer, may be interpreted differently by the reader.

When I read words, I see pictures. Sometimes the picture is not what the words intended.

Thanks, Johnn! (Glad I got it right!)
