God’ Wisdom vs Worldly Knowledge…..
Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall receive.
One of the Greatest blessings I ever had at Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, CA, was to be asked to come as Elder, to pray for one who was physically or spiritually sick as a group. We took it seriously, to come and confess our sins, one to another as we lifted this person up in prayer before the Lord. There was no greater pleasure for me, to come before someone, as overseer, than lifting and walking with this person, before the Lord.
“Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.”

Light Overcomes the Darkness!
The Name of the Lord is, a High Tower, the Righteous run into it it, and they are Safe.
Mariano Rivera and the 2091 World Series and his favorite verse. “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” (Philippians 4:12)
The Lord is my Shepherd…….Baseball and the Bible
May the Words of Our Mouth, and the Meditation of Our Heart, be acceptable to You, Oh Lord, Our Rock and Our Redeemer!
There is a Time for Everything. Now is the time to Repent, for the Forgiveness of Your Sins. Jesus is Waiting, Patiently, that HE may Restore You.

3:18 announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets. Cf. Ge 3:15; Ps 22; Is 53; Zec 12:10. â€
3:19 repent and return. See notes on 2:38; Mt 3:2. “Return” is a frequent NT word that relates to sinners turning to God (9:35; 14:15; 26:18, 20; Lk 1:16, 17; 2Co 3:16; 1Pe 2:25). your sins … wiped away. Cf. Ps 51:9; Is 43:25; 44:22. “Wiped away” compares forgiveness to the complete wiping away of ink from the surface of a document (Col 2:14). ‡
3:19–21 times of refreshing … period of restoration of all things. “Times” or “period” means epoch, era, or season. Two descriptions are given to the coming era of the millennial kingdom. This is clear because they bracket the reference to Jesus Christ being sent from God to bring those times. Peter points to Christ’s earthly reign (see notes on 1:7; cf. Ro 11:26). The period will be marked by all kinds of blessings and renewal (cf. Is 11:6–10; 35:1–10; Eze 34:26; 44:3; Joel 2:26; Mt 19:28; Rev 19:1–10).
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Roman 5:8
