C.H. Spurgeon
Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. (Genesis 49:19)
Some of us have been like the tribe of Gad. Our adversaries for a while were too many for us; they came upon us like a troop. Yes, and for the moment they overcame us; and they exulted greatly because of their temporary victory. Thus they only proved the first part of the family heritage to be really ours, for Christ's people, like Dan, shall have a troop overcoming them. This being overcome is very painful, and we should have despaired if we had not by faith believed the second line of our father's benediction, "He shall overcome at the last." "All's well that ends well," said the world's poet; and he spoke the truth. A war is to be judged, not by first success or defeats, but by that which happens "at the last." The Lord will give to truth and righteousness victory "at the last"; and, as Mr. Bunyan says, that means forever, for nothing can come after the last.
What we need is patient perseverance in well-doing, calm confidence in our glorious Captain. Christ, our Lord Jesus, would teach us His holy art of setting the face like a flint to go through with work or suffering till we can say, "It is finished." Hallelujah. Victory! Victory! We believe the promise. "He shall overcome at the last."
 Be blessed in Jesus name!

I would like to address a scripture so many people have misconstrued.
Hebrews 13 verse 4
"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but wh*remongers and adulterers God will judge." KJV
Weymouth New Testament
"Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
Websters Dictionary on defiled: to make unclean or impure: as a: to corrupt the purity or perfection of; b : to violate the chastity of; d : to violate the sanctity of
Sully, Dishonor, Desecrate
Paul is NOT saying here, "Anything goes!" as some people think and teach. He is talking about adultery here, keeping the marriage bed pure by not bringing someone else into it. God is very specific about what He thinks about s*d*my. He created men and women different, with different parts; made so they can come together as one....ONE FLESH.
ANYTHING else goes against everything God stands for.
God has called us into holiness and purity in all we do!
"Be ye holy as I am holy."
A copy and paste from a web site I visited while researching this.
"The point is that s*x has been traditionally worshipped by the world. Marriage has been important to many societies for propagation. I am not denouncing s*x or marriage; God has given mankind s*xual reproduction to replenish the earth; s*x is not evil or dirty or wrong in and of itself ‒ we would not be here without it. But as with almost any other created thing, men have given themselves to worshipping the creature, having inordinate affection, thus destroying themselves in idolatry and sin of all kinds. That is the problem." Some have made s*x an idol!
Eat the meat and spit out the bones!

I'm back!
For those of you who don't recognize me I used to be here as Rebekka_Returns.
Now I'm here as TwoCents, you know, my two cents worth. LOL Weeell everything else I could come up with someone else already had. Some of you, we have kept up our friendship at the other place and I'm still there. Some of you I haven't met but hope to shortly.
Old friends please stop by and say hello, new friends please stop by and introduce yourself. You know, "A stranger is just someone you haven't met."
God bless and love and hugs! 
Elizabeth
P.S. As of this writing my picture hasn't been approved yet. Maybe by the time you get here, it has.
Update:
Well I see things haven't changed that much around here but I'm here so I guess I'll stay.....for awhile. But mainly I'll be here as 'a fly on the wall'.
