Greeting All

Greetings in the Serving Name of Jesus Christ! Last night I had the opportunity to help out at a food bank. I was happy to do it as the woman who runs the program is someone I very dearly love. It was my job to carry full boxes of food to the recipients car. I got to have a short conversation with a few folks, and I could feel myself enjoying this experience! This is the way it should be with us Christian men and women. We need to be aware of those in need, and help them if we can! It all starts with being willing! Matthew 25:40 says, "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Patient Name of Jesus Christ! We have just returned from a trip to Ohio to see my brother and his family. It's always great to see them! We fly to get there, and if any of you have flown you know how frustrating it can be at times. Going out was no problem, but coming home was! On the second leg of our journey we were delayed 3 times! We understand this happens, but our patience was being tested as we were growing weary and wanted to be home! We didn't get home at the time we had planned, but we did get home. God is faithful. By the time we landed in Portland (Maine) we were exhausted. A short drive and we were falling into bed! We didn't even unpack the car! Once in bed, all the cares of the journey melted away. Ecclesiastes 7:8 says, "The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride." Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Worshiped Name of Jesus Christ! As we all gather in fellowship today, let's remember the reason we can so freely do so. While we gather, there are many in this world who cannot under penalty of imprisonment, or death! Many will still gather, in spite of these consequences! Praise god for the faithful! Today let's add these faithful to our permanent prayer list, and let's pray for those persecuted folks! In Exodus we read about Moses and Aaron leading the Israelites out of bondage. The elders were called together to listen to what God had said to Moses. Exodus 4:31 reads, "and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped. Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Forgiving Name of Jesus Christ, The other night I had a thought which led to another thought, which was one of regret, so powerful it caused me to weep! We all have regrets in our lives, things we wished we had done, and/ or things we wished we hadn't done.It is important to remember not to dwell on these regrets since these are a tool Satan uses to distract us. When regret surfaces, remember to attack it with prayer, and learn from it! We cannot change the past, but God is faithful in the now, and in the future! Praise God! 2 Corinthians 7:10 says, "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All!

Greetings in the Ever Loving Name of Jesus Christ, Are you hating people? Why do we hate? Perhaps because some people have a different point of view? Perhaps because some people are a different race? (By the way, we are ALL in the HUMAN Race!) Perhaps because someone hurt us, or someone we love? Once you let hate into your spirit, it is corrupted. Hate destroys only you, not the one you hate! We must be very careful not to spread the seeds of hate as well. For this reason, we must be willing to redirect efforts of hate so they become efforts of love. It is NOT easy to love as Christ loves, but it IS something for which we must strive. Work at this, and after a time you may discover there is no hate left in you. The following verse would literally wipe hatred from the face of the Earth, and unite mankind. Romans 12:10 says, "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All!

Greetings in the Most Holy Name of Jesus Christ! Last night as I was sharing dinner with my wife, at one of our favorite buffet places, she noticed a customer in the booth behind us. The waitress had been speaking with him, then brought him a plate from the buffet. He was blind, and was alone. After a time, he was sitting there and had finished his plate. My wife said we should help, but I was hesitant. I did not want to intrude. I did, at the urging of my wife after a short time, ask him if he needed any help. It turns out he was waiting for a certain item to come out, which happens at 4:30. Friends, there are always opportunities to work for God! It may be preaching in front of many, it maybe asking a blind man if he is hungry. I almost passed up this chance, but my wife saw it clearly. I am thankful to have her! Praise God, serve God. In His service... Matthew 25:40 - "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Now is the Time to Worship! May God Richly Bless You All!
