“If anyone knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”

Faith and Deeds
“faith…if it is not accompanied by action,
is dead.”
What good is it,
JAMES 2:14-17
my brothers and sisters,
if someone claims to have faith
but has no deeds?
Can such faith save them?
Suppose a brother or a sister is without
clothes and daily food.
If one of you says to them,
“Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,”
but does nothing about their physical needs,
what good is it?
In the same way,
faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action,
is dead.
PSALM 119:81
81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation,
but I have put my hope in your word.
82 My eyes fail, looking for your promise;
I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83 Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,
I do not forget your decrees.
84 How long must your servant wait?
When will you punish my persecutors?
85 The arrogant dig pits to trap me,
contrary to your law.
86 All your commands are trustworthy;
help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.
87 They almost wiped me from the earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 In your unfailing love preserve my life,
that I may obey the statutes of your mouth.
ISAIAH 41:19
PROVERBS 26:10
Like an archer who wounds at random
is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
JOB 32:18-22
“Let me not, I pray, show partiality to anyone;
JOB 32:21-22
Nor let me flatter any man.
For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me away.”
Be Still and Wait Patiently
“… do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
PSALM 37:7-8
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.”

My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
GENESIS CHAPTER IV
Am I my brother’s keeper?
GENESIS 4:9
Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

The Morgan Affair
“All You Need to Know About the Infamous Morgan Affair!
On Sept. 11, 1826, William Morgan, of Batavia New York, was forcibly removed from the jailhouse at Canandaigua, NY, to a two-horse carriage and borne away into the mists of time.
His disappearance was suspected to have been effected by overzealous Freemasons enforcing the penalties of their obligations.
Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
Free Gift
But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many [f]offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Trials and Temptations
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life…”
A Daily Bible Study of THE BOOK OF JAMES
Friday, November 1, 2024
JAMES 1:2-8
Trials and Temptations
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
–Go You.

Who Is the Actual Authority?

“Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle to everyone.”

“Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
Like a maniac shooting

Yes, You Can
Then Jesus told his disciples,
MATTHEW 16:24-36
“If anyone would come after me,
let him deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me.
For whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life
for my sake
will find it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return
for his soul?”
Grace Trumps Sin
“… But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Open Letter To Three Chimneys Farm
The decision to scratch Great White behind the gate at the Kentucky Derby was the wrong decision.
“I’m sure the horse is shook a little bit, but it didn’t appear like he thumped his head on anything …” -Jerry Bailey
Horses suffer falls harder than that while playing out in the field!
The Sport of Kings is the sport of champions- a competition showcasing the unity between horse and man.
Scratching Great White is a black eye inflicted upon an already beaten-down industry!
Horseracing has genuflected to the fascism of bureaucratic red tape in the guise of “safety”.
Greetings, Fellow Horsemen,
While witnessing the scratch of Great White behind the gate during post time of the running of the 2026 Kentucky Derby, I vehemently disagreed with the decision to scratch him!
I was greatly appalled, heartbroken and stricken with grief for our beloved sport!
I mourn over your loss! The whole team of Three Chimneys Farm has been deprived of being able to reap the rewards of its work: the stall muckers, the grounds keepers, assistants, foremen, secretaries, investors (and all of the little people who nobody’s ever heard of whom keep the Operation running smoothly,) the efforts of Thoroughbred Conditioner John Ennis and of Journeyman Jockey Alex Achard.
‘Tis a Great Loss to Three Chimneys Farm!
‘Tis a Greater Loss to Horseracing!
‘Tis an unaccountable Void in History’s Great Record Book!
The decision to scratch Great White pierced the thin veil of truth and integrity which protects the Sport of Horseracing!
Question:
What part of Great White’s body did the Vetrinarian claim there was not enough time to evaluate at that moment in time? His head? An ankle? Which part?

How God uses Money
“Love consists much more in deeds than in words.

Seven Deadly Sins
“… Therefore thy poverty cometh as one that traveleth by the way, and thy necessity like an armed man.”
It says in the book of PROVERBS:
“There are six things the Lord hates,
PROVERBS 6:16-19
seven that are detestable to him:
1. haughty eyes,
2. a lying tongue,
3. hands that shed innocent blood,
4. a heart that devises wicked schemes,
5. feet that are quick to rush into evil,
6. a false witness who pours out lies
7. and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
