Scripture Reference;
21 Remember me to every saint (every born-again believer) in Christ Jesus. The brethren (my [j]associates) who are with me greet you.
22 All the saints (God’s consecrated ones here) wish to be remembered to you, especially those of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace (spiritual favor and blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) be with your spirit. Amen (so be it). Philippians 4:21-23 Amplified Bible
If you look at the menu in the left margin you will find a category titled “Purpose of Moore To Ponder”. I have that post copied and pasted below. My original purpose still remains, but I now have an additional purpose for this blog. It is to help me to be more committed to studying the Bible and praying more during this season where I am very tired, and have much on my plate…I have been stumbling this past year. If you would like to know what my life challenges have been look here: ( https://pronetoponder.wordpress.com/category/transitions-where-i-am-where-i-have-been-the-happenings-of-my-life/ )
I am also attempting to study and write about the “Armor of God”. My next post is titled ” The Armor of God…Part 4 “Private Battles (The ‘Unspoken’ Request)”.
Would you please pray for me that the the Lord would have His way both in me and through me?

Scripture References;
4 For whatever was written before was written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope. Romans 15:4 HCSB
It is my hope that all who read the entries of this blog will either discover or be reminded that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that they need to know Him personally as their Savior, Lord, and Guide, and that He delights in making Himself known to all who seek to know Him.
It is also my hope to encourage people who might be a little afraid to seek the Lord, because they possibly have been given descriptions of both Jesus and Christians that are not accurate. The Bible teaches that Jesus is more patient, kind, forgiving, dependable, and loving than words can even express. It is my hope that they will come to really appreciate that truth, and that they will also come to more fully understand that Christians are people of faith, but their faith is in Jesus, and not in themselves; that they are not perfect and still sin, but they are enabled to love much because they are loved much. This blog is for many different types of readers (I have described some different types of readers below.), and most of the entries can be read in five minutes or less.
First there is the reader who has never received the Lord as their personal Savior. Not only can they learn about Him, they can also learn how simple it truly is to receive Him and His precious gift of eternal life. If they click on About Salvation/Very Important Words out in the left margin or on the link provided at the very bottom of every post they will find the plan of salvation explained in the simplest terms. Then they might begin to read some of the entries and find some information that might be of benefit to them.
Next there is the reader who might have received the Lord as their personal Savior, but hasn’t studied very much, and is not as close in their relationship with the Lord as they would like to be. Each of these entries addresses one or more topics and lists a few Bible verses or passages that speak about them. The reader might “ponder” them for a short devotion, or go further and search the Bible themselves to see what else the Bible might have to say. They might even be inspired to seek the Lord more often in prayer and move into a closer relationship with the Lord.
Then there is the reader who already has a fairly close relationship with the Lord and a considerable amount of Bible knowledge. Perhaps this person is used to really extensive Bible studies, but is just needing to be refreshed by some of the simple but sweet truths that caused them to Love Jesus in the first place. We sometimes in our zeal to learn, and to serve forget how to rest. Resting is important. They might look at these entries as “mini retreats”.
I want to encourage the readers to share what is on their hearts. Their comments and/or questions will most likely lead to wonderful discoveries for themselves, others, and for me. They may click on the phrase Leave a Comment at the bottom of each entry to do so. I will try to respond to all of the comments the readers make, even if it is just to say “I don’t know.”.
Do you know Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord? Please click here: https://pronetoponder.wordpress.com/category/about-salvation-very-important-words/ and make sure.

I am looking forward to that. I hope things are going well, and you aren’t spread too thin running back and forth between two houses.
Love,

[…] I had so much on my mind, so much that I wanted to share, so much I wanted to search out in the Bible…and share. I was a woman with issues then and I am a woman with issues now, but honestly…doesn’t everyone have them? In one post I explained my mission and purpose for my blog. You can read that here: https://pronetoponder.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/purpose-of-moore-to-ponder-3/and here: https://pronetoponder.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/a-new-purpose/ […]
