| Posted: 27 Apr 2019 01:17 AM PDT In this metaphor, which has reference to the inner life of a believer, we have very plainly the idea of secrecy. It is a spring shut up: just as there were springs in the East, over which an edifice was built, so that none could reach them save those who knew the secret entrance; so is the heart of a believer when it is renewed by grace: there is a mysterious life within which no human skill can touch. It is a secret which no other man knoweth; nay, which the very man who is the possessor of it cannot tell to his neighbour. The text includes not only secrecy, but separation. It is not the common spring, of which every passer-by may drink, it is one kept and preserved from all others; it is a fountain bearing a particular mark--a king's royal seal, so that all can perceive that it is not a common fountain, but a fountain owned by a proprietor, and placed specially by itself alone. So is it with the spiritual life. The chosen of God were separated in the eternal decree; they were separated by God in the day of redemption; and they are separated by the possession of a life which others have not; and it is impossible for them to feel at home with the world, or to delight in its pleasures. There is also the idea of sacredness. The spring shut up is preserved for the use of some special person: and such is the Christian's heart. It is a spring kept for Jesus. Every Christian should feel that he has God's seal upon him--and he should be able to say with Paul, "From henceforth let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Another idea is prominent--it is that of security. Oh! how sure and safe is the inner life of the believer! If all the powers of earth and hell could combine against it, that immortal principle must still exist, for He who gave it pledged His life for its preservation. And who "is He that shall harm you," when God is your protector?  |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:11 PM PDT Ben Akpa If Constantine converted to Christianity, then he was no longer a pagan. Any action he took was Christian. The Sabbath day was equally made by man. All that God said was that we should work six days and rest on the seventh. He never indicated which day was first and which was seventh. All that was created by humans. Don't be surprised if the first Hebrew calendar came from pagan Egypt.  |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:10 PM PDT Collins Samuel Alright. Is Sunday, not a cycle in divine creation? No day belongs to the devil. Emperor Constantine legalized Easter, Sunday as special time of worship and remembrance, etc, but who do Christians revere on these days? Edited · 1 · Like · React · Reply · Mo  |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:10 PM PDT Joseph Gaku Makama Constantine made Sunday a day of not by his power alone. Elders in church advised him to make it a worship because that was the day of resurrection. Anti-cathokics like that Phillip Shaff did not even say that Emperor Constantine did that a after he became a Catholic. Pure mischief.  |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:09 PM PDT Toyin J Akande I am afraid you Christians by your liberal minds will not kill and destroy christianity ! If Constatine change days they worship idols to days to worship the true God , after he as emperor converted to christianity and made christianity the state religion , what is the crime and sin in that ? The issue we should mind is the nomenclature of such days such as Sunday . As Christians we can agitate for the change of such nomenclature to something like" Lordsday "or they revert to simple word of SABBATH .  |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:09 PM PDT Ikeroyal Emewu Thanks for being educated with real facts of history. Even the Catholic Cathechism teaches it, but the unenlightened keep arguing Sunday worship or worship on Sunday, Christmas, SOLIS NATALIS INVICTI, birthday of the invincible Sun, turned Christ birthday and even Easter instead of Passover and use of the Cross symbol instead of tongue of flame or the Fish, the original Bible believers symbol were all decreed by Constantine  |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:08 PM PDT IN DEFENCE OF HISTORY Some things that need clarification by our church leaders. Constantine Made Sunday a Civil Rest Day When Emperor Constantine I—a pagan sun- worshipper—came to power in A.D. 313, he legalized Christianity and made the first Sunday- keeping law. His infamous Sunday enforcement law of March 7, A.D. 321, reads as follows: "On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed." (Codex Justinianus3.12.3, trans. Philip Schaff,History of the Christian Church, 5th ed. (New York, 1902), 3:380, note 1.)  |

| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 05:02 PM PDT Rani Aznar added 21 photos and 8 videos to the album: Springbreak 2019 . Not your typical springbreak. After a week-long "break", coming home never felt so weird. I was no longer sleeping on a cot, no longer waking up next to people I barely knew, no longer getting ready for physical labor, no longer traveling to a house destroyed, and no longer meeting residents of Panama City. I felt too blessed. The next morning after coming home, I woke up in bed and felt as if some part of my heart was missing. Recalling my week, this difficult situation was all I could think about: Hurricane Michael hit Florida on October 10, 2018. It was a category 4 hurricane that damaged homes and lives which left families devastated and hopeless. Hurricane Michael is the 2nd strongest storm to hit Florida. 30% of Panama City's residents left and 72 lives were lost. 1 Million lost power and $25 Billion worth of damages. It has been almost 6 months since the hurricane and Panama City is still in rough shape. Where is the help? Where is the media? How come it has not been given much attention? I, along with members of the Catholic Student Association at Rutgers, was privileged to have served and built great relationships with those afflicted and with God. It was my first time to participate and experience a mission trip, which has truly impacted my life in ways I could not have imagined. I am and will always be reminded that I am a missionary and that you are a missionary too. Let's help spread the word/share, pray, support, volunteer, learn and follow Mission850 . People are in need of help and clicking a few buttons is the least you could do. # mission850 #springbreak2019 # hurricanemichael @govRonDeSantis March 24 at 2:47 PM · Public  |

| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 04:51 PM PDT to Home Mission850 PLEASE SHARE and tag Tallahassee tree companies Cynthia seems very shy and reserved, kind, and she misses her husband and his taking care of problems and making decisions. She kept saying she did not want to be any trouble for anyone, or cause a problem; she just did not know how to get this tree removed. The tree is threatening her house now. Cynthia is a widow. She works in food service at the nearby prison facility. She does not have the resources to have this tree taken down but she is obviously very concerned with hurricane season approaching.

| Posted: 26 Apr 2019 04:51 PM PDT Mission 850: Homegrown relief network aids Bay, Calhoun, Liberty Hurricane Michael victimsSouthwest Florida journalists document Hurricane Michael as part of roof from hotel blows off on Oct. 10, 2018. ANDREW WEST, NEWS-PRESS The Monday after Hurricane Michael's deadly landfall, Dot Wagner had dinner in a Tallahassee pizza shop with her husband and two of their kids. Wagner looked around her. Her city mostly had regained power, and normalcy was in reach. She began to cry. Mission 850 volunteers prepare a tarp for a roof-less home in Marianna following Hurricane Michael. SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT The Tallahassee couple had spent that whole day in ravaged Panama City, helping a family whose home was severely damaged — one side completely gone. Shops were closed, electricity would be out for weeks. Their friends were eating granola bars for dinner. The two realities were jarring. View | 128 Photos Hurricane Michael: Aerial photos of Panama City, Mexico Beach damage It was then Wagner and her husband decided to start Mission 850. The couple heard about people in need from their friends in Panama City, and knew pastors in impacted areas like Mexico Beach. Through Mission 850, about 50 groups — some families and their neighbors, others church groups and classes — have signed up to volunteer their hands and resources. Through it, Wagner's created a database of helpers and residents in need and connects them with each other. Dot and Nick Wagner. SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT So far, the homegrown relief network of volunteers have touched about 60 families across Bay, Calhoun and Liberties counties, Wagner said. Anita Sessions in Callaway, a suburb of Panama City, had been sleeping on a pallet for six weeks because her mattress was soaked from rain after a tree breached her bedroom ceiling, Wagner said. Sessions, an elderly woman, had been trying to dry her mold-smelling mattress with a small table fan. Rodney Braden and Ken Creel volunteer to remove a fallen tree after Hurricane Michael in Altha.

There is so much destruction, so much work to be done long-term… we're hoping to head back this summer! – Mike, Youth Minister, FL "I had no idea how Hurricane Michael destroyed homes, neighborhoods, and whole cities. There are so many families in need of a helping hand. Someone to carry out a wet sofa, pick up branches from a yard, or simply listen to them and pray with them. We must continue to go and bring Christ's hope and love." -Renee Citly, Tallahassee FL "I was shocked to see the impact that Hurricane Michael had on homes. People's lives just turned upside down in a day. They need our hands and feet to help them clean. To help them rebuild. To hand them some diapers or pick up a wet sofa. I wish everyone would take time to come serve. The need is so great." -Jennifer Puzzieo, Tampa FL   |
