'THIS I KNOW'

This was on the back of one of our Bulletins and thought you would enjoy it! It is written by Margaret Clarkson.

I do not know what next may come

Across my pilgrim way;

I do not know tomorrow's road,

Nor see beyond today.

But this I know--my Saviour knows

The path I cannot see;

And I can trust His wounded hand

To guide and care for me.

I do not know what may befall

Of sunshine or of rain;

I do not know what may be mine

Of pleasure and of pain;

But this I know --my Saviour knows,

And whatsoever it may be,

Still I can trust His love to give

What will be best for me.

I do not know what may await,

O what the morrow brings;

But with the glad salute of faith,

I hail its opening wings;

For this I know--that in my Lord

Shall all my needs be met;

And I can trust the heart of Him

Who has not failed me yet.

************************

Philippians 4:11

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."

Have a Great Day!!

"Defining Love"

Yesterday my private devotions was on loving your neighbor.

I John 3:16 says: "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."

One author wrote, "Do not waste your time bothering whether you 'love' your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this, we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them."

Our culture has redefined the word love. They tell us love is an emotion, God shows us that love is a choice. We show love through our actions.

The Bible uses several different words to describe love. One word is 'philos' or brotherly love. Like love between friends.The second word is 'agape' or high level of divine love.

Agape love does not love simply when you feel like it or when it is convenient, but because it is what God commands. There will be times in our lives when we don't feel like loving someone, but that is when agape love must take over!

Christ showed us this agape love when he died on the cross for our sins. He did not die for us simply because He had an emotion of love but because He made a choice to honor and obey His Father! He loved us so much that He gave!

How are showing your love to those around you? Love is action! Ask God to help you love others even if you do not feel like it!! I'll take this challenge will you?

Because Christ so loved!

"Chicken Encounter"

This summer while in Indiana we had a great time putting "Real Chicken" on the table!! None of that store bought stuff! My Son and his family raised these chickens to be meat for their table and believe me they were delicious! But, it was a lot of work, too. Enclosed are a few pictures of our "Encounter"!! I'll try to post more later, but I has taken me awhile to get these on. HA!

The Lord doth provide!

May God Bless Each of You!

"Why I Am A Baptist"

"Why I Am Baptist", was the sermon preached this past Sunday! Pastor also gave us 8-Distinctives of Baptist Churches, which I have enclosed on my blog!! Enjoy!

Historically, Baptist have held to the Following distinctives, based on Bible teachings.

Biblical authority in all matters of faith and practice.(John 17:17; Acts17:11)

Autonomy or self-governing power of the local church.(Colossians 1:18; I Timothy 3:15)

Priesthood of every believer-each believer is his own priest and has direct access to God's truth and God's will for his life. (I Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 4:14-16)

Two officers within the church-pastors and deacons. (Acts 6:1-7 I Timothy 3:1-13)

Individual Soul Liberty-every man and woman must choose personally to come to Christ for Salvation. (Roman 10:17; Romans 14:1-8)

Separation of Church and State-the state should have no power to intervene in the free exression of religious liberty. (Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:29-31)

Two Ordinances-Baptism and the Lord Table (Communion) (Matthew 28:19-20 I Corinthians 11:23-24)

Security of the Believer-salvation is a gift from God that cannot be taken away. (John 10:27-28; IPeter 1:3-5 and Hebrews 13:5)

That's a lot to think about but it sure sums it up in a nut shell! I hope I have given you something to think about!!

What do you believe?

"Friends"

"A friend loveth at all times..." Prov. 17:17

This past summer I got to have lunch with some old (no pun intended!) friends from Union Mills, In. We had a great time, talking about old times and getting caught up on our daily lives. God has been so good to all of us, even in our deepest woes! We know that ...."He will never leave us nor forsake us." Heb. 13:5

Thanks for being my friend!

Love to All
