Just Keep It Between The Lines



Keep It Between The Lines
A Musical explanation of my entire ministry.

Faith in G-d, revealed in depending on G-d's Good Grace, living by G-d's Good Law, and empowered by G-'ds Holy Spirit, in the example of His Perfect Son who made it all possible by His Willing Sacrifice, Divine Resurrection, and Completely Sinless Life.

In Life, G-d has simply instructed us to "keep it between the lines" with full dependence and faith in Him to help us do so, and set us right when we stray.

Our ministry believes:

We believe that G-d is all-good and G-d is all-knowing, so He put the lines exactly where they need to be for us to do well.

We believe that His grace allows us to get back between the lines if we stray from them.

We can't stay between the lines on our own power, but only through His.

He doesn't change the lines, and we shouldn't try to either.



Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success [Or may act wisely] wherever you go.

He was sitting beside me in the passenger seat

As I looked through the windshield at the quiet little street

He was smiling so proud as he gave me the key

But inside I knew he was as nervous as me



And I said daddy oh daddy

are you sure I know how

Are you sure that I'm ready to drive this car now

He said I'm right here beside you and you're gonna do fine

All you gotta do is keep it between the lines



'Cause it's a long narrow road

Only the good Lord knows

where it leads in the end but you got to begin

So keep your hands on the wheel

believe in the things that are real

Just take your time and keep it between the lines



I was sitting in my chair and sneaking a look at him

Lying on the floor with his coloring book

Then he caught me watching and he climbed on my knee

He said daddy oh daddy would you do one with me



Then I hugged him so tightly as we turned the page

Said I haven't done this since I was your age

He said I'm right here beside you and you're gonna do fine

Daddy all you gotta do is keep it between the lines



So we finished the picture and I put him to bed

Got down on my knees and I bowed my head

And I said Father oh Father I feel so alone

Are you sure I can raise him with his mommy gone



Then the answer came back so gentle and low

And words of my daddy from so long ago

Said I'm right here beside you and you're gonna do fine

All you gotta do is keep it between the lines



So keep your hands on the wheel

believe in the things that are real

Take your time and keep it between the lines

Just take your time and keep it between the lines

Just take your time and keep it between the lines

The Bowing of Wheat

The Bowing of Wheat We are all familiar with the parable of the wheat and the tares, but few understand the difference between wheat and tares.  When wheat is fully mature, when wheat becomes fruitful, it bows its head from the weight. It reproduces after its kind, bread of life. The wheat bows its head down in the presence of the one with heaven's sickle having come to harvest His own from  the earth. When a tare is fully grown, it refuses to bow its head. The tare may reproduce after its kind, but its not fruitful, in fact, everything it produces is choking out life. After I posted this note, a fb friend left this comment about physical wheat and tares as well:"Greek "Zizanion" literally means 'anti-wheat', In the Hebrew "Zownin" means "nausea." It is not a type of vetch, but a darnel; it is impossible to distinguish from the wheat, until the wheat's ear is fully developed, then the thin fruitless ear of the darnel is detected

Some People Change Jim Tull.. former President of the East Coast chapter of the Aryan Brotherhood, Now a Born-Again Christian..To G-d Be All The Glory!  In case you didn't know, the Aryan Nation is a white supremecist group more violent and organized than the KKK. They are modern Nazi's (Neo-Nazi's) and the largest prison gang in America. The film "American History X' starring Edward Norton gives a good look at the m, also "True Believer" starring Ryan Gossling who plays a Jew that hates his Jewishness so much that he hides his heritage to become a skin-head.

The Olive Press

The OIlve Press Lessons from the Farming Parables of Yeshua The items used in the parables of Yeshua/Jesus make a consistent point. The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence (endures struggle and trials) and violent men take it by force (men who are acquainted with struggle and who have endured trial bring it to earth by pushing through struggle and trial). The Scriptures tell us that before every harvest is compl ete there is a separation, as we see in the agricultural practices that produces Olive Oil for anointing, wine for marriage covenants, and bread from wheat and barley. These were produced by very violent means, sweating, muscle aching, often dangerous, dirty, unpleasant means. The harvest wasn't gathered into a checking account, it would be gathered into heaven. Those who planted earthly seeds (money) would gather an earthly harvest (more money), thus missing the reward in heaven. Every seed reproduces after its kind, if you plant money, don't expect much mo
