He is RISEN!!!!

St. Matthew CHAPTER 28:1–10, 16–20
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:  4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.  18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
James 1:19

There is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

The Word of God

The Bible is the instructional manual for mankind, yet few read it in that light...

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.
Hosea 8:7

WISDOM

Back in the 1750s, Benjamin Franklin pointed out that the less crowded the country, the lower the land prices and the higher the wages. Simple but apparently the government is going the opposite way on this, and Americans suffer.
