Disciples Speak

[1st John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;]

V1 Love your neighbor as yourself
Give and it shall be given
Destroy this Temple and in three days
HE said HE would be risen

JESUS: I've heard with my ears
Looked at with my eyes
Touched with the hands that HE gave me
What I know in my heart
I proclaim to you
with the ears, eyes, and hands
that HE gave me

V2 I saw HIM approach the grave of my friend
Say "Come Out" and Lazarus came "running"
I saw wine from water and blindness turned to sight.
I saw HIM die saw HIS blood flowing

V3 I ran to the tomb when I heard the news
I felt HIS grave clothes empty
I ran to my home and it was there I knew
When I felt HIS scars and HE said HE loved me.

Websters 1828 Dictionary:APPROBA'TION, n. [L. approbatio. See Proof and Prove.]

1. The act of approving; a liking; that state or disposition of the mind, in which we assent to the propriety of a thing, with some degree of pleasure or satisfaction; as, the laws of God require our approbation.

2. Attestation; support; that is, active approbation, or action in favor of what is approved.

3. The commendation of a book licensed or permitted to be published by authority, as was formerly the case in England.So I take that to mean approval. ]]><![CDATA[Matt Chandler - Prayer Sermon Jam (4:02) - Great Reminder]]>Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:01:36 -0800http://www.reednelson.com/1/post/2011/04/matt-chandler-prayer-sermon-jam-402-great-reminder.html

Hymn by Ge­org Pfef­fer­korn ]]>Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:20:37 -0800http://www.reednelson.com/1/post/2010/10/what-is-the-world-to-me-hymn-by-georg-pfefferkorn.htmlWords: Ge­org M. Pfef­fer­korn, 1667 (Was frag’ ich nach der Welt); trans­lat­ed from Ger­man to Eng­lish by Au­gust Crull, 1923, alt.
What is the world to me,
With all its vaunted pleasure
When Thou, and Thou alone,
Lord Jesus, art my Treasure!
Thou only, dearest Lord,
My soul’s Delight shalt be;
Thou art my Peace, my Rest—
What is the world to me?

The world is like a cloud
And like a vapor fleeting,
A shadow that declines,
Swift to its end retreating.
My Jesus doth abide,
Though all things fade and flee;
My everlasting Rock—
What is the world to me?

The world seeks to be praised
And honored by the mighty,
Yet never once reflects
That they are frail and flighty.
But what I truly prize
Above all things is He,
My Jesus, He alone—
What is the world to me?

The world seeks after wealth
And all that Mammon offers,
Yet never is content
Though gold should fill it coffers.
I have a higher good,
Content with it I’ll be:
My Jesus is my Wealth—
What is the world to me?

The world is sorely grieved
Whenever it is slighted
Or when its hollow fame
And honor have been blighted.
Christ, Thy reproach I bear
Long as it pleaseth Thee;
I’m honored by my Lord—
What is the world to me?

The world with wanton pride
Exalts its sinful pleasures
And for them foolishly
Gives up the heavenly treasures.
Let others love the world
With all its vanity;
I love the Lord, my God—
What is the world to me?

The world abideth not;
Lo, like a flash ’twill vanish;
With all it gorgeous pomp
Pale death it cannot banish;
Its riches pass away,
And all its joys must flee;
But Jesus doth abide—
What is the world to me?

What is the world to me?
My Jesus is my Treasure,
My Life, my Health, my Wealth,
My Friend, my Love, my Pleasure,
My Joy, my Crown, my All,
My Bliss eternally.
Once more, then, I declare—
What is the world to me?
