1 Thess 4.1-8
" Brothers and sisters we earnestly ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus that, as you received from us how you should conduct yourselves to please God? and as you are conducting yourselves? you do so even more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. This is the will of God, your holiness that you refrain from immorality, that each of you know how to acquire a wife for himself in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion as do the Gentiles who do not know God; not to take advantage of or exploit a brother or sister in this matter, for the Lord is an avenger in all these things as we told you before and solemnly affirmed

Matt 25.1-13
Jesus told his disciples this parable:"The Kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise The foolish ones, when taking their lamps brought no oil with them but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep At midnight, there was a cry,"Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!" Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps The foolish ones said to the wise"Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out." But the wise ones replied"No, for there may not be enough for us and you Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves." While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked Afterwards the other  virgins came and said"Lord, Lord, open the door for us!" But he said in reply"Amen, I say to you, I do not know you." Therefore, stay awake, u know neither the day nor the hour"

8/26/11 this guy on RADIO SAYS WE R ALL SEXUAL SINNERS ...


in one way or another, ..including homosexuals..(he apparently wants us to equate homosexuality as just another sexual sin )...and he goes on to say [which is his main topic] that a person's sexual orientation should have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do w/ getting a scholarship..(apparently some colleges are including homosexuals as prospects for "miinority scholarships"..)..I agree that homosexuals should not be included as "minorities" and therefore potential scholarship recipients..that's outrageous,,& also takes away from the true need-based minorities who grew up poor in difficult situations..homosexuality is a choice of lifestyle..as is heterosexuality..I myself choose to be heterosexual but don't expect to get a scholarship for it....this is going too far..just like now in california a bill was recently passed that made it mandatory for teachers to teach about the "history of homosexuality"...also outrageous..we were once such a great nation

"The angel spoke to me, saying"Come here I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone like jasper, clear as crystal. It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed and on which names were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel There were three gates facing east, three north, three south, and three west. The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were inscribed the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb."

Responsorial Psalm R. (12) Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendors of your kingfom

John 1.45-51
"Philip found Nathanael and told him,"We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth." But Nathanael said to him,"Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,"Here is a true child of Israel There is no duplicity in him." Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him,"Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathanael answered him,"Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him,"Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathanael answered him,"Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him,"Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this." And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
