Ecclesiastes 5 (KJV)

1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

Careful!  God cares more about you obeying his word, than you making financial contributions.  Are you there for spiritual food or for financial gain.  You can not buy God's love. ~ Karmen



2 Be not rash (thoughtless) with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty (careless)
 to utter (broadcast) any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer (delay it and) not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Be careful of the oaths you make with God.  Don't set them too high and keep them or don't vow an oath at all.  ~ Karmen



6 Suffer (handicap)  not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?



7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers (much) vanities (pride): but fear thou God.



8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel (wonder) not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth (observes); and there be higher than they.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.


12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer (sicken) him to sleep.



13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14 But those riches perish by evil travail (work): and he begetteth (brought forth) a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.




19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

Psalm 127 (KJV)

1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver (vision) full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Ecclesiastes 2 (KJV)

13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly (lack of good sense, foolishness), as far as light excelleth darkness.




14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.



21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation (the state of being annoyed, frustrated, or worried.) of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail (toil) grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.


24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten (be quick to do something.) hereunto (regarding this matter), more than I?
26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail (toil), to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation (harassment) of spirit.

Proverbs 10 (KJV)

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness (burdensome)  of his mother.



2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.




3 The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.




4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.




5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.




6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.




7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.




8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating (talking) fool shall fall.




9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth (degrades) his ways shall be known.



12 Hatred stirreth up strifes (fights): but love covereth all sins.




13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.



16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.




17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof (correction) erreth.


18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.





22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.




23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

YOU WILL WEAR YOURSELF OUT, TRYING TO TAP DANCE WITH A FOOL....GIVE IT UP. THEY ARE PRO'S. ~ Karmen


24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.





25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.


27 The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.


30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.


31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward (difficult) tongue shall be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness (difficulty).

1 Corinthians 16 (KJV)

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.


15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.


17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

The word "anathema" means "cursed."The word "Maranatha" means "the Lord is coming." The Word of God is saying that if anyone does not want to get saved, then let him be cursed because the Lord is coming. You can try to warn people, but they ultimately must make the decision to accept or reject Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God.

1 Corinthians 15 (KJV)

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.


Jesus died and was resurrected.  If this was not so or is not so, then everyone that has died after him has perished and will never see Heaven (Christians).  Then Jesus dying on the cross would be in vain {worthless}.  ~ Karmen




20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.




22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.




24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.


25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.






26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.




31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.




33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Some of the filthiness that are on social media can taint the mind.  Am removing myself from some of the groups on facebook.  There would be great postings for the most part.  Some groups (in their own right)  do not want any scriptures shared, so I respect that.  Then those same groups though, will allow some of the most immoral, wicked, dark and vulgar postings.  So I am removing myself from these groups.  The same with people I network with.  Have let a few go because they have the nerve to complain about what scriptures I post on my wall, but they are the same ones who will not speak up against  the poison that is posted daily on facebook, yet they call themselves men or women of God.  

Am protecting my mind, heart, soul and spirit from this wickedness.

Live peaceful....Bad company corrupts good character.....And Good company corrects bad character. ~ Karmen





34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.




39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.




40 There are also celestial (angelic, divine, immortal,spiritual, supernatural) bodies, and bodies terrestrial (earthbound, earthlike, earthy) : but the glory (significance) of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.




41 There is one glory (magnificence) of the sun, and another glory (magnificence) of the moon, and another glory (magnificence) of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory (magnificence).




42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:




43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:




44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.




45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.




49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.





51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.




53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.




55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.




58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast (fixed in intensity or direction), unmoveable, always abounding (very plentiful) in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
