1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Basic, Instructions, Before, Leaving Earth.Simple translation, and in many ways very true. I prefer to call the scriptures God's love letters. Another personal translation of mine is the do's and the don't's. One of my favorite books is the book of Proverbs which is full of instructions that can be applied to everyday life and life's everyday decisions. It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Truth is, God has it covered, and has given us Godly wisdom through the scriptures.
Here is a great web site and ministry for studying God's Word. I use it daily. Blue Letter Bible at http://www.blueletterbible.org/
It is filled with great studies, easy word searches, and volumes of life changing information. May you be blessed through it. Also, please visit our main blog spot portal at:

There is a mighty river that flows, that is flowing, that flows, which comes from the heart of God. There is a mighty river, that flows, which is flowing, that touches our hearts and changes our live. For the river of our God is good, and through and in Christ, we bask in His heavenly waters. Poured forth richly, even as deep cries out to deep.
Sometimes we stick our toes in to test the waters, and the Lord says; the river is good. Other times we go in ankle deep, and the Lord says; the river is good. Other times we go in waist deep and the Lord says; the river is good. Sometimes we hang onto a our safety bars, and the Lord says; the river is flowing. Come, come, come into the waters.
It's ok, we can let go of our safety bars, and trust Him, because the river is good, the river is flowing and the Lord is the river.
Drink deep beloved. Drink deep, the goodness of your God. Bask in His presence, in His love, in His compassion, and in His tender mercies.
Blessings, in Christ
