THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
(This is no joke!)
Sad, but oh so true! Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages. Toyota has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US.
The last quarter's results:
Toyota makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads.

Col 2:9-10
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
KJV
**********************************************************************************
It might be said that many people chase empty dreams instead of filling them first with Christ.
Christ is the "fullness of the Godhead bodily." All the power, omniscience, omnipresence, holiness, grace, mercy and love of God are invested in HIM! When God came in the body of Christ, it did not diminish His immutability nor His infallibility. He is the Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Jesus of the New Testament, and the "Head of ALL prinicipality and power!"
"And YE are COMPLETE in HIM!" Without Him all of us are totally INcomplete. We were composed, formed and molded of "dust of the ground." But it wasn't until God "breathed into his nostrils," that man became a "living soul." And we are incomplete without Him breathing His Holy Spirit into our existing person.
Too many saints of God are sitting at tables filled with delicacies from the world and not from the Living Word. We cannot be rightly "filled" until we are first filled with Him!
The fullness of knowledge, the infinity of an "inheritance incorruptible" rest in CHRIST!
Let us be filled with Him FIRST, THEN we can fill dreams.
"Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord! Come and quench this thirsting of my soul; Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more-- Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!"
(Song: Fill My Cup, Lord by Richard Blanshard)
