Word for thought for January 98!

To have a heart for God, give God your heart.

God love is persistent but never pushy.

Only Christ writes life real success stories.

Dedication to Christ is not a one-time choice but a daily challenge.

Without Christ we're not ready to die; with Christ we have every reason to live.

If you say, " I'm no worse than the rest," You'll fail life's ultimate test.

Faith in God is the essential element for spiritual change.

If Christ is the center of your life, you'll always be focused on Him.

God keeps his WORD. You can count on it!

Give sin an inch and it will take a mile.

JANUARY 98 POEM

GOD ANSWER PRAYER

Sometimes, when heart are weak,
He gives the very gifts
believers seek.
But often faith
Must learn a deeper rest
And trust God's silence
When he doesn't speak;
For he whose name is Love
Will send the best.
Stars may burn out, nor mountain walls endure,
But God is true,
His promises are sure . . .
. . . for those seek .

"Pastor Commentary"

FOR WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN DO NOTHING." John 15:5 NKJV Greetings in the name of Jesus! What a great year that is before us! There is so much work to do and so many lost people, unchurched people and people with needs! And there are so few people, so little money and resources to help with these needs. We need God! Prayer is the key. We need to pray for ourselves, others, and praise the Lord for the victory we will ask for! We need to choose prayer partners within our church. We need to pray in our Sunday School Classes. Every committee and every oraganization within our church needs to pray for the Lord's guiding and anointing and blessing! When we pray both privately and publically and we are repentant and committed, God will take note. He will forgive, heal, and move upon you and I. Please join me in praying for power, for more labores, for lost souls to be saved and for the body of Christ to be built up and honor our Lord! Amen! Thank you for your love and let us remember the words of Jesus,

God Bless

" Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, . . . "(2 Thess. 3:1 NKJV)

I need your prayers. You need my prayers. We need each other's prayers. Praying is a necessary ingredient for power and results with God. All of our efforts in the name of Jesus are fruitless without Gods' anointing. His grace desires to touch us by way of the Holy Spirit. His reviving Spirit of power is anxious to refresh us in the work. But there is cost. We must spend much time in prayer.

Prayer fastens the soul to the feet of the Savior. Here we learn to trust, worship, give, obey, praise, learn, gain power, get spiritual insight and know the heart of God. Prayer leads us to Godly repentance, bold confession, and positive response t the commands of Jesus. Genuine prayer blesses the soul and opens the door for God to fulling His purposes for our lives. Joy and all the fruit of the Spirit will come forth as a result of Gods' fill us because of heart surrendered prayer.

I shall continue to pray for you. Thank you for praying for me. The future is brightest and the moment is most precious when we are remembering each other in prayer! Let's enjoy the Lord and each other in prayer! Let us glorify His name.

God bless you and all of our prayer warriors!

And with the faults that I possess I know He stills love me.

"Pastor Commentary"

Dear Brethren:  

"Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave nor did his body see decay. god has raised this Jesus to life....."(Acts 2:31,32 NV.) Peter understood King David to speak concerning the resurrection. And Peter affirmed that Jesus did indeed arise from the dead. The truth of the resurrection gave vigor to the early church! A gospel without the resurrection of Jesus is a false gospel! If Jesus has come into your life through repentance and faith, you've experienced the power of Jesus' resurrection. Spiritually, you've been raised from the dead of trespasses and sins. Now, the believer looks forward to his/her future resurrection of the body! We've got a positive and powerful message of Good News To Share! Lets' get the WORD out! "Happy Easter!"

God Bless

APRIL 98 POEM

AT EASTER TIME AT EASTER TIME

The little flowers came 
through the ground,
At Easter time, at Easter time:
They raised their heads and looked around,
At happy Easter time.
And every pretty bud did say,
"Good people, bless this holy day,
For Christ is risen, the angels say
At happy Easter time!

The pure white lily raised its cup
At Easter time, at Easter time:
The crocus to the sky look up
At happy Easter time.
"We'll hear the song of Heaven!" they say
"Its glory shines on us today.
Oh! may it shine on us always.
At holy Easter time!

'Twas long and long and long ago,
That Easter time, that Easter time:
But still the pure white lilies blow
At happy Easter time.
And still each little flower doth say
"Good Christians, bless this holy day,
For Christ is risen, the angels say
At blessed Easter time!"

PASSAGE FOR MONTH OF APRIL

Luke 10:38-42  STARTS THE DAY RIGHT! 

How do you start your day? Do you think about your busy schedule and problems you may face through your day? I want you to meet two sisters. Martha was preparing a meal to serve their quest, Jesus. (You know she was concerned to have things just right.)

It says in verse 40, she was "cumbered". The Dake's Commentary Bible says "distracted, over charged with care." Mary, on the other hand sat at His feet and listened to Him. (verse 39).

This lesson for this month passage is this:

1. Put God's Word first, by reading the Bible and talking to Him in prayer; Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."

2. Give your worries and problems to God. 1Peter 5:7 cast the whole of our care, all anxieties on Him for He cares for YOU." (Amplified Bible.)

He will give you peace! Isiah 26:3 "You will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee."

Which will you be: Mary or Martha?

In Christ Love,

Sister Nancy

A MOTHER'S LOVE

A Mother's love is something A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
And of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish And enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
Or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
When all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
Even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
When the world are condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
Of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
It defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
Like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle
Man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
Of God's tender guiding hand.

TIME OUT FOR MOMS

"Motherhood is an illegitimate profession!" roared the radical women's movement as it deceptively told us that being a feminist was about choices, Somehow the choice to be a mom - particularly at "at-home" mom was categorized as a second-class choice. The sentiment was that one could be a mom but that being a brain surgeon or a fire fighter validated the "mom" part of the choice.

As result, the last 20 years have bruised many women. The dominant culture shouted a message of self- actualization that could only be found outside the home. TV commercials reinforced the myth. We were told that "we deserved a break today" and that we should "grab' for all the gusto" we could. Even a hair-coloring product put self on an exalted level by telling us, "Frankly, I'm worth it!"

Images of mom changed. Instead of June Clever and Harriet Nelson, the new mom looked like "Roseanne" -loud, crass and uncouth. Or worse still-Peg Bundy in "Married with Children." (Now there is a truly dysfunctional family!)

With sophisticated seduction, even breakfast products whispered, "Get out of the kitchen." No longer was Mom seen preparing the morning meal. She simply threw some fruit thing into the toaster. grabbed her briefcase and ran out the door in her business suit.

Yet even while the howling winds of the cultural elite continue to whirl around our tents, our role as mother continues.

For the "at-home" mom, there is no pay check that helps re-enforce worth. We do not get a progress report from our two- year- old saying, "Great work on shoe trying this week, Mom! And loneliness can be a constant companion.

For the working mom, there is often the longing to be home but the economic necessity to work, there is the tension of trying to balance demands the of the workplace and the needs of the home. And guilt can be a constant companion.

So, dear fellow Mom's, let's take a moment to review the joys of motherhood. Our children are priceless treasures. No radical movement can ever minimize what women have known since the beginning of time-that the opportunity to shape the heart and mind of our child is the most important, the most fulfilling and the most humbling experience we will ever have.

There will always be challenges for us- balancing the daily demands of the urgent against the lasting impact of the of important.

But the roar of the culture and the clatter of the day is instantly drowned out by that precious sound - "Mom, I"m home!"

REMEMBER! REMEMBER! Mother's Day - MAY 10, 1998

Passage For The Month

Matthew 27: 15-17.21 & 22 CHOICES

We make them everyday: what to eat what to wear, etc. A man name Pilate had to choose at Passover: release Jesus, the of God, or Barabbas, a notorious criminal. We are all guilty of condemning an innocent person to die.

He also looked for the truth. "What is truth?" he asked. (John 18:38)

The truth of this message is that Jesus died in our place so we can have eternal life. " For the Son of man came to seed and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10) If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in you heart God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved." (Romans 10:9) Now is the accepted time: now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 5:21)

I ask you today to make the right choice by asking Jesus to come in your hear to be your Lord and Savior.

Yours in Christ

"Pastor Commentary"

A little boy, having been told that the church was God's house asked : "When's he going to move in?" Now we know that God is in Christ and Christ is in every believer (II Cor. 5:19, Rom. 8:10). And Jesus is Lord and the Head of the Church. We must acknow- ledge God's presence in the church and in our lives. As Christ is manifested through us and before us in worship and Godly living, then those around us will see Christ and know He is real, alive and ready to save. In a sense, we must let God move in. There must be a daily surrender to let Christ have absolute control of our lives. We must let Him move in His Church. When you take vacation, take the Lord with you. Let He who indwells you reveal Himself unto others through you. And remember your command post back home, the church, in your prayers, financial gifts and substituter to cover your area of work. As we work together may we hear others say about us and our church, God has not only moved in; He's reigning as King and Lord of His people both at the church and in the church on mission.

We are most useful to God when we are most useful to others.

Instead of complaining count your blessing.

God truth the best protection against Satins lies.

If we walk with God, we'll be out of step with the world.

God is big enough to care for our smallest need.

God grace shines brightness where sin is the darkest.

JUNE 98 POEM

FATHER ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE

Fathers are wonderful people
too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
as often as we should . . .
For, somehow, Father seems to be
the man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
and nurses all our ills . . .
And Father struggles daily
to live up to 'HIS IMAGE'
As protector and provider
and "hero of the scrimmage" . . .
And perhaps that is the reason
we sometimes get the notion
That Fathers are not subject
to the thing we call emotion,
But if you look inside Dad's heart,
where no else can see,
You'll find he's sentimental
and as "soft" as he can be . . .
But he's so busy every day
in the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
to his partner and his wife . . .
But Fathers are just WONDERFUL
in a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
and accolades of praise,
For the only reason Dad aspires
to fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
and to bring them happiness . . .
And like OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
he's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
to be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE

Remember: Father's Day June 21, 98

" I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called . . ." Eph.4:1. God calls us to salvation. We are then called to serve Him through His visible local body-the church. The characteristics of that serving are found in verses 2 & 3 of Eph. 4. It is a great joy to serve the King of Kings and Lords of Lords! When we carry out His plan for our lives, we have meaning and purpose to true living. We assist others in their faith. We glorify Christ. When we flounder in our service to Christ, we wander in the wilderness,. We are not fruitful. So let's get in God's Word, Pray And be Faithful Worshiper and Workers in the church. That's when we'll find Gods' best for us!

God Bless

Word for thought for JULY 98!

People with a heart for God have a heart for people.

Only as we follow Christ can we lead other in the right direction.

A selfish heart loves for what it can get; a Christ like heart loves for what it can give.

When it seems you can't forgive, remember how much you been forgiven.

A little sin never says little.

We are saved by God's work, not by good works.

Confessing our sins to God always brings cleansing from God.

Prayer in Jesus is a direct line to God.

Sin brings fear; confession brings freedom.

You can't lose if you stay with God's game plan.

The measures of God's love is that he loves without measures.

No one is too good or too bad to qualify for salvation.

Praise to God comes naturally when you count your blessing.

JULY 98 POEM

PRAYER ARE THE STAIRS TO GOD

Prayers are the stairs

We must climb every day,

If we would reach God

There is no other way,

For we learn to know God

When we meet Him in prayer

And ask Him to lighten

Our burden of care -

So start the morning And, though the way's steep,

Climb ever upward

'Til your eyes close in sleep-

For prayers are the stairs

That lead to the Lord,

And to meet Him in prayer

Is the climber's reward.

Pastor Commentary 

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE?

President Theodore Roosevelt had four sons.  He was very proud when the first three sons announced their intention to join the military.  But, when his fourth son also decided to join the army, the old Rough-Rider balked. "Not all my boys," he said to his wife.  But she replied, "Ted, if you raise  them as eagles you can't expect them to fly like sparrows."  Every parent should have a dream for their children.  Isaiah put it this way, "And all  your sons will be taught of the Lord: and the well-being of your sons will be great" (Isa.54:13).  Three things I want you to consider: 

1.  You announce what you want your child to be by the way you teach him.  It

is not the church's responsibility to teach your children.  It is mother and father.

2.  You announce what you want your child to be by the example you set.  It  

is amazing how some parents put ball games, camping, trips, and golf games. and  

fishing trips above attending worship, and then are amazed that their children 

leave the church.  Someone wrote, "What you are thunders so loudly that I cannot

hear what you say." 

3.  You announce what you want your child to be by the plans you make for 

him.  Your children know if something is really important to you. Have you been

saying from the time they started school, "Now make good grades so some day you

can go to college."  They know you want them to get a college education.  But  

what about your spiritual dreams for them?  Have you encouraged term to be a  

preacher, a missionary, Bible school teacher, etc."  By your plans, you have 

told them what you think is important.

Commentary

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (James 4:10)

How do you rate your prayer life?  How would others rate your prayer life?

The number one weapon in any spiritual endeavors is prayer. Paul in Ephesians 6:18-20(*) encouraged his friends to pray in the Spirit.  Remember God’s armor is spirit of prayer!

A typical prayer patterns of average Christians are sometimes inconsistent.  We may pray over meals, at  bedtime, or some kind of trouble shows up.  You should pray for all occasions and always keep on praying.  Always try to remember these 3 little words:  Pray without ceasing(1 Thessalonians 5:17).

If you are armed by Christ, filled with His power, and praying in His Spirit, believers not only will endure but will prevail!  We can pray in Spirit by . . .

@ Obeying God’s commands

@ Offering our whole lives to God

@ Confessing sin to God regularly

@ Following the Holy Spirit’s leading

@ Seeking the Holy Spirit’s assistance

@ Asking for those things that please God

@ Maintaining a regular time of communication with God

 Our prayer life can be more effective if we “pray in Spirit!”

 Have blessed month.

POEM

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR EVERYTHING

Thank you, God, for everything

the big things and the small,

For "every good gift comes from God"

the giver of them all

And all too often we accept

without any thanks or praise

The gifts God sends as blessing

each day in many ways,

And so at this THANKSGIVING TIME

we offer up a prayer

To thank you, God, for giving us

a lot more than our share . . .

First thank you for the little things

that often come our way,

The things we take for granted

but don’t mention when we pray,

The unexpected courtesy,

the thoughtful, kindly deed,

A hand reached out to help us

in the time of sudden need . . .

Oh, make us more aware, dear God,

of little daily graces

That come to us with "sweet surprise"

from never-dreamed-of places

Then, thank you for the "MIRACLES"

we are much too blind to see,

And give us new awareness

of our many gifts from Thee,

And help us to remember

that the KEY to LIFE and LIVING

Is to make each prayer a PRAYER of THANKS

and every day THANKSGIVING.

The most powerful position on earth is kneeling before the Lord of the Universe.

You can't repent too soon, but son it may be too late.

If you know that God's hand is in everything, you can leave everything in God's hand.

Because God is with us, we need not fear what is ahead of us.

A life lived for God leaves a lasting legacy.

Death is the last chapter of time, but first chapter of eternity.

Toying with sin invite disaster.

Poem

Tell Me Again

Tell me again the story of Christmas,
Sing me the songs a hundred times,
I want to remember the beautiful things,
Heart wonder and tinsel and rhymes,
Trim me a tree and light it with love,
Then Bethlehem won't seem far away,
Give me a manger and give me a star,
Then it will be real Christmas day!
