The great subject of thanksgiving is peace, reconciliation and pardon offered to them that are nigh, and to them that are afar off; not only to the Jew, but also to the Gentile. the fruit: Exodus 4:11, Exodus 4:12, Hosea 14:2, Luke 21:15, Ephesians 6:19, Colossians 4:3, Colossians 4:4,... read more

Lied - That thou hast dealt thus perfidiously with me.Not remembered — Hast thou forgotten all those great things which I have done for thee.Held my peace — Have not I forbore to punish thee from time to time, that by this goodness I... read more
