Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

A Song for Morning or Evening.
—Isaac Watts.
‘They are new every morning.’ —Lamentations 3:23.
MY God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are every evening new;
And morning mercies, from above,
Gently distil like early dew.
Thou spread’st the curtains of the night,
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
I yield my powers to thy command;
To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
Edited. Up late, thunderstorms.

An Apostle In Hope of Eternal Life
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
“Paul…an apostle of Jesus Christ…in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began” (Titus 1:1,2).
If you’re a Gentile, you should be eternally grateful that Paul, “the apostle of the Gentiles” (Rom. 11:13), was made an apostle “in hope of eternal life.” You see, before Paul came along, we Gentiles had “no hope” of eternal life (Eph. 2;11,12)! But Paul was made an apostle to give us that hope.
The word “hope” means to expect or anticipate something that may or may not happen, depending on something else. Paul hoped to send Timothy to the Philippians, but it depended on how things would go for him (Phil. 2:19-23). But he told a Gentile named Titus that the hope of our eternal life depends on the promise of God—the God who “cannot lie.” If you think hope like that is pretty secure, say amen!
Of course, if you do think that’s a pretty secure hope, it is probably because you’ve studied the Bible all your life, so you know you can trust the God of the Bible to keep His promises. But Titus was the leader of the churches in Crete (Tit. 1:5), an island off the coast of Greece. So instead of studying the God of the Bible all their lives, the Cretians studied the gods of the Greeks. And if you want to talk about a bunch of lowdown, no good, lying scoundrels, just spend some time studying the gods of Greek mythology!
This is why in writing to the leader of the churches in Crete the apostle Paul spoke of God as the God who cannot lie. Surely Titus needed no such assurance, but Paul knew he would share his epistle with his congregations. They needed to know that this God that was offering them the hope of eternal life was not a liar like the gods they knew all too well from their past.
If you’re not saved, and you are wondering how to obtain the eternal life that God promised us Gentiles, Paul told Timothy that he was made an apostle “according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus” (II Tim. 1:1). Eternal life is found in Christ! And when Paul also wrote that “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ” (Romans 6:23), we know that God wants to give you eternal life as a free gift. And the only way to receive this gift is by believing. Speaking of God’s promise of eternal life, Paul says “that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe” (Galatians 3:22).
Believe what? Believe the gospel! What gospel? The gospel that could save even the sinful Corinthians! Writing to them, Paul said,
“…I declare unto you the gospel…which also ye have received…by which also ye are saved…Christ died for our sins…and…was buried, and…rose again” (I Corinthians 15:1-4).
Now you know what to believe when Paul says,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

Titus 1:1 ¶ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Ephesians 2:11 ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Philippians 2:19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Titus 1:5 ¶ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
2 Timothy 1:1 ¶ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
1 Corinthians 15:1 ¶ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
“before ‘jesus” came along”
Jesus and the 12 disciples did not deal with Gentiles during the earthly ministry of Christ covered by the Gospel accounts. The nation of Israel had to be prepared to receive their Kingdom, that is what is being dealt with during Jesus’ earthly ministry.
Matthew 10:5 ¶ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Gentiles had no hope outside of the nation of Israel before the formation of the body of Christ, as revealed only to Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
The plan in the prophetic program was that God would bless Israel. The Gentiles would have to go to Israel, NOT directly to God.
Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Which is why these Gentiles were ignored, until they took their rightful place and went through Israel to receive a blessing from God.
Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Mark 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
I first discovered Philip Aaberg on the old Windham Hill label and was immediately attracted to his piano compositions. I suppose you could call him a nationalist because almost everything he composes has some striking element of American life—in particular American life in the high plains of Montana. This is patriotic music without being overtly patriotic. When you listen to Aaberg play you instantly realize that the music could only be composed by an American. Enjoy.
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY, TREEPERS
Biden Fakes Interview
Start watching at 1 minute w/ 0.25x speed, and the fake becomes completely obvious!
It’s a live shot of Biden going to the helicopter, but it’s the reporters that are fake.
Watch how Joe Biden’s hands clip through the reporter microphones…
The ONLY things you can believe coming from this White House is statements concerning their intent to grab more power.

Verse of the Day for Wednesday, March 17, 2021

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:6 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
The 50th Psalm Septuagint (Psalm 51 KJV)
The Great Lenten Prayer of Saint Ephraim of Syria (+ 373)
“O Lord and Master of my life, . . .”
Wednesday of the First Week of Great Lent, or the Great Fast, in the Orthodox Church will be for some the first day of partaking of uncooked foods since Forgiveness Sunday.
The Great Canon of Saint Andrew of Crete (+ 740) which is divided into parts over the evenings of Monday through Thursday, is filled with reproaches and laments of a sinful soul. Each line is followed by the references to verses in Holy Scripture that inspired the Saint to write this masterpiece.
Repentance, forgiveness, salvation in the Holy Trinity.
From Song 2:
“Unoriginate, uncreated Trinity, indivisible Unity, accept me who repent, save me who have sinned. I am Thy creation, despise me not, but spare me and deliver me from the fire of condemnation.”
And today many, where possible, will receive the Mystery of Holy Communion, the Body and Blood of Christ, at a Pre-Sanctified Liturgy.
THE WORKER’S RULING PASSION
“Wherefore we labour that…we may be accepted of Him.” 2 Cor. v. 9
“Wherefore we LABOUR…” It is arduous work to keep the master ambition in front. It means holding one’s self to the high ideal year in and year out, not being ambitious to win souls or to establish churches or to have revivals, but being ambitious only to be “accepted of Him.” It is not lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but lack of labouring to keep the ideal right. Once a week at least take stock before God and see whether you are keeping your life up to the standard He wishes. Paul is like a musician who does not heed the approval of the audience if he can catch the look of approval from his Master.
Any ambition which is in the tiniest degree away from this central one of being “approved unto God” may end in our being castaways. Learn to discern where the ambition leads, and you will see why it is so necessary to live facing the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says – “Lest my body should make me take another line, I am constantly watching so that I may bring it into subjection and keep it under.” (1 Cor. ix. 27)
I have to learn to relate everything to the master ambition, and to maintain it without any cessation. My worth to God in public is what I am in private. Is my master ambition to please Him and be acceptable to Him, or is it something less, no matter how noble?

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XX – Marietta’s Unfitness Revealed by Contrast
20:2
When I felt drawn by the sphere of darkness, and saw the very cloud of death part to receive me, I looked up to the paradisical heaven with a suppliant desire to enter there and be saved. But little did I know that even then, were I permitted to enter as a member into the spirit thereof, that I should suffer excess of agony from the effects of the love and harmony of heaven upon me, so that my condition would involve me in perplexity and misery equal to the deepest hell. In this manner my mind quickly surveyed the entire scene, while pleading for relief, and I was enabled to fully realize my condition, and felt assured that all was lost, and that I was doomed to woe.
At length an angel said, “Marietta, thou art not lost. True, thy deformity is exposed; and thou art suffering by reason of the awakening of thy spirit so as to discern the true state of a discordant soul, and by contrast with goodness thou art brought to a sense of want. In this, perhaps thou wilt be the better prepared to realize the goodness of God in the provisions made for redemption through the Lord Jesus, whom all the heavens adore.”
“When thou wast previously admitted into the society of the sanctified, thy discordant condition was mostly holden from thy sight, and thou wast, as a guest, permitted to receive the influence as an outer sacredness which, like holy dew, fell upon thee and watered thy thirsty spirit. But so perfect is the breath of holiness here that when it touched thy inner life, all thy latent unfitness appeared in contrast; hence thy suffering. In this also thou art in a measure enabled to discover the wisdom of a benevolent Creator in the bestowment of that Providence which causes spirits of like nature and tendencies, whose habits are established, to incline to like conditions and abodes, so that opposite elements of absolute good and evil, being separate, shall not enhance the misery or annoy the bliss of any class. And this is revealed why no unclean thing can ever enter the Holy City, John, the Revelator, saw. For into this sacred Temple, no unholy disembodied spirit could enter. Nor can any law of existence receive the gross, unsanctified soul within that city of interior life whence originated the soft and spirit stirring melody which so much affected thee, nor could the inhabitants of this blessed abode dwell with spirits unreconciled to God in the spheres of darkness. Marietta, behold the goodness of God in the law of being. How palpable would appear the injustice of a Righteous Creator, should he doom to the pales of night, or permit any law to operate so that one of these little ones should perish by being attracted into the deadly magnetism of the abode of guilt, the regions of woe. Their tender and pure natures would writhe beneath the touch of the inflamed passions of those who are abandoned to the madness of insatiable desires. In very deed might God be considered unjust should His law thus expose the innocent. Likewise, there would be a manifest want of mercy in their disposition, should any unsanctified and discordant spirit be impelled, while in that state, into the element of harmony and holiness, since their sufferings must increase in proportion to the degree of light and Supreme Good that pervades the abode of the pure.”

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I’ll vouch for that! 🙂

A video by Dr. Vernon Coleman – I’ve paid a lot of attention to news/reports/research out ‘there’ and felt to make the decision to remain ‘organic’ as God planned and to trust Him for guidance and knowledge. In this video, Dr. Coleman makes the argument that none are safe now, including the non-vaccinated but especially the vaccinated! Knowledge is power…
Covid-19 Vaccines are Weapons of Mass Destruction – and could wipe out the human race.

Relationships between Government and Pharmaceuticals
S’what I’ve been saying: big Rx dragged out the old H1N1 vaccine and made a bundle. Meanwhile, people are drying ’cause no one’s promoting the CURES.
“Even the very elect will be deceived.” Ever think on that one?
This whole thing was a set up I have no doubt about it.
That vaccine is no more than the ‘humane’ shot we give our unwanted pets. We were betrayed.
If you could see into eternity, you would see death is a gift, God didn’t make a mistake ever. Those godless individuals who desire this have no idea the fate they have wished upon themselves.
Satan is like that. He will walk with you and promise you heaven, as he leads you to the pits of hell.
In the ‘lost books of the bible’ there is a story kinda like this when Jesus was crucified and the devil thought he’d won only to find……it was always Gods plan.

This is my favorite Bach piece. The Harpsichord in this is amazing.
white guys are totally awesome! including Bach. Leave us. we must celebrate white guys
white kids awesome also. cartoon in Punch long ago shows little white kid in diaper writing symbols on treble & bass cleffs he drew on the wall. Mom standing in doorway with switch says, “Wolfgang, what did I tell you about writing on the wall.” Never know if it was better than Die Zauberfloute or Eine Kleine???
honestly, I get so sick of the animus against my race, especially the men.
people of other races have strengths. why not celebrate them rather than try to put us down?
Bach and Tchaikovsky! Always complex or powerful. My two favorites.
Anyone else remember this from a VW commercial?
Jiffy Pop!
A couple months ago I found good ole Jiffy Pop in a store and I bought one for my Granddaughter. About every 6 weeks or so Grandma sends a box of toys, educational material, etc to my 4 y/0 granddaughter and she put it in with the other stuff and sent it down.
I thought she would get a kick out of seeing the aluminum foil expand and balloon out. She love it and wants me to send more! You’d think I had sent her the most expensive in-demand toy kids her age might want. She Loved the aluminum foil expanding but what she really Loved was the she was the one that could make it! With a little help from Mom of course.
Just goes to show you that with a little imagination one can provide a learning and fun experience for a kid her age without spending much money at all.
Just goes to show you

Hi everyone, where are the best conservative communities to move to in Florida?
Indian River County, specifically Vero Beach. Let me know when your coming, I’ll show you around.
How do you know BofTruth is a conservative?
Yes you are right Boots, I don’t know.
Yes… I am a conservative and have been following this site for many years! But, we Treepers must be careful as there appear to be some working against us on this site.
Thank you for your suggestions Mark! Greatly appreciated as we are moving from Nevada this year.
You also might like the demographics of Palm City. I was just up in Donnellon looking at land and it’s a sleepy little town in NW Florida with rolling hills and lots of horse farms. Check em out. 1 thing that I will tell you tho is that it takes some time to get used to no hills or mountains in site. You can only see just treetops because everything is basically flat. But when everyone up north is shoveling snow and you are in shorts on the golf course or beach, well ya get the picture.

When I hear about the Great Reset by The Resident of the White House I think of FDR’s 10 year plan. This is Troy, Alabama, 1939 (but it could be anyplace in rural America during the previous 10 years):
Edited to add: FDR completely bankrupted the economy to bail out Wall Street. He depopulated great swaths of America to relocation camps. But at least the wealthy got wealthier.
Though I don’t believe in this crap about black people being owed anything. I would say that blacks, in general, had it worse back then. I, nor my father, nor anyone in my family history ever owned a slave and I had an ancestor that died fighting to free the slaves and George Clymer, my founder ancestor, was against slavery. Some White women back then put signs out putting their children up for sale!
My great-grandfather is buried near here. He became disabled from lung disease during the Civil War (13th Kansas). His brother-in-law was killed by a sniper right at the beginning of the war. His step-father, a civilian, was killed by Missouri Bushwhackers and his step-brother died of measles right after he signed up. I’ve alway wished to even a few blacks showed up on Memorial or Veteran’s Days to honor some of those old Civil War soldiers graves. They sacrificed greatly, some all.
As for blacks having it worse during the Depression, they may have had it just as bad, but no worse. I just now looked at the National Archives photographs of that era. I couldn’t find the series of all the Okies living for years under bridges in shelters made of of sheet metal from old oil drums and cardboard. Tens of thousand lived from hand to mouth. I did find this one of migrants living in cars, and there were many with no shelter but that:
