The Sound of Silence 3: The Mission

Who Am I


We do this to make you turn to the Lord and to his word in a different way. Not becoming slave to those Alleluias, praise the Lord, peace be with you, and also be
with you and all that repetitious words and prayers and salutations. 

And then afterwards, outside the church go back into being drunkards in the streets gossiping around with their self-righteous act until they go to bed. So where is the change in them. 

Make you turn the pages of your bible and really know the word of God. Making you read and search the word of God than just treating as a qoutation book, to make you feel better. To be a good witness for the Lord. There is no boasting in that motion.

Just about for five to fifteen minutes. I found the websites blueletterbible.org, etymonline.com and christiananswers.net very useful. We will present topics at random, with no assurance of how long or short but guaranteed to be biblical always. 1Ti1:18 Pr1:23

The Sound of Silence 2:Prayer and Meditation


It is always beneficial to have a quiet time. Time to meditate the word of God on some relaxing room, sited on a chair or in bed remembering each passage of a particular verse or verses, even ask the one part of the verse which we do not understand. 

Praying is a communication with God, asking,thanking and letting God know what we want each day, today. The bible say pray without ceasing and to faint not, for prayer and meditating his word brings us closer to him.1Th5:17Lk18:1

In this blog we're gonna flood you with too much information,but only much,that is which required. If you want informations, there are so many to choose. Let us make the bible simple to understand. So to exercise prayer and meditation.



Footprints in the sand







Footprints in the sand An Amazing Poem in Search of its Author

Footprint
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets Footprints in the sand of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

--- Carolyn Carty, 1963


Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."      Mary Stevenson, 1936


Footprints
Also Known As "I Had a Dream"
One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."

The Sound of Silence:The blog

Why create a bible blog. I don't know. There many websites with much plenty of information,more expertise in creating,delivering and not to mention executing informations concerning the bible. So why create then, well the simpliest answer would be simply to put everything in just one place, I do suffer the lost of scratches everywhere. Anyhow, it's good to have a different approach to the bible. I like some quotes, pictures, and videos, so enjoy,
 In the least or most me.



The Sound of Silence





The Sound Of Silence Lyrics
Artist(Band):Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence."

Proverbs 1:24-33
