Morning Devotional...


We have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
John 4:42

The Samaritan woman had introduced Christ to her neighbors and many were saved. Their words here brought a fourth revelation of the Lord to her soul.

At first she had seen Him only as "a Jew" (v. 9), thinking it strange He would even speak to her. When He said He knew she was living with a man who was not her husband, she realized He was a "prophet" (v. 19), and as the talk continued, she learned that He was the "Christ" (v. 25), for whom both Jews and Samaritans were waiting.

And then came the final revelation--He was really "the Saviour of the world."
--W. P. W. McVey

well I have to hit the sack for tonight I have a big paper route to do.

see you all tomorow!

God morning to you all and all of you have a good morning, too.

Today I work the lights so I get to hear the sermon twice.  It makes for a long morning but a fulfilled morning.  And also the Mexican restaurant is open when we leave....  

My two furballs are truly warming up to each other.  They actually play now.  I do believe that Inky is good for Ali.  Ali looks bigger.  Hopefully muscle now.  Whew!  They do eat a lot though.  

For Papa John....

"Gratitude takes three forms:  a feeling in the heart, an expression in words, and giving in return."

Hi everyone.  We have a windy but so far sunny day.  However, they are saying that tonight we will get down to freezing again.

We will be heading to Sunday School and Church in a little while and then this afternoon I have a homeowner's association meeting to attend.  Fortunately it is right next door so it is handy.  

Ria, one day saddness with the death of the Queen Princess and the next a new life in that family to celebrate.  God is good.

Pat, a very fine devotional this morning.  

Yesterday, while out driving, I was thinking about how the Lord has changed the whole direction of my family.  After I became a Christian in 1972...I have watched the miracle take place .

First my wife, and now all of my children and their spouses are serving the Lord...howbeit, some more closely than others.

We are beginning a new generation that will serve God.

I got home and my wife had great news for me....Maryjo, the wife of our nephew Jeff has accepted the Lord....She's going to the alter this morning to make public profession of her newfound faith.

Praise God!  I went to sleep last night more thankful than when I woke up.  This morning my heart is filled to overflowing.

I told one of my daughters the other day:  "People who don't know Jesus miss so much, AND they don't even know it."

Good morining everyone!!!

I Just got done geting ready for youth class and have  40 more minutes till it starts so I thought I would get on and check out the site.

FOR THE TEENS!
I put up a game in the Announcements, Introductions & Stuff to play! I think it will atract more teens to. So have fun!

Zachery

morning all,
i'm here getting ready to leave for church which is soon so i can't stay long i'll have to ttyl
Sarah

Hello Everyone!  (from cold and really blustery Guelph)

Ed, I'm rejoicing with you on the news of yet another family members being saved.  That's the most wonderful news!  Thanks for telling us in here so that we can rejoice with you.


Ria, I see you have the wind too.  Actually, the wind kept me awake in the night it was howling so much and I saw things blowing around outside.  Yes, where I used to live before moving to Guelph, there was a huge tract of land that was owned by the Royal family in Holland.  It's the property of Don Head Farms and it ran for 1 1/4 miles square and we always knew it as "the Dutch land".  There's a big shopping center now on the land and lots of buildings and apartment buildings so I guess it was eventually sold to the city of Richmond Hill.


I hope you had a wonderful time worshipping the Lord at church today, Zac!  I'm so happy to read that you love going so much.  You're part of a great family!



Sounds like you have a busy day too, Larry!  Enjoy!  Good you don't have far to go to your second meeting!   ;D


Talk to you later, Sarah!  8)


Etta Sue, Geordie and Lauren are starting to warm up to each other as well albeit rather slowly.  LOL

Hi Sonifo and Heather!!

A wonderful day here.  I seen some tulips coming up in a neighbors yard.  :o  I hope they survive.  We don't start getting tulips here till end of May or June.

Another awesome day at church.  We talked about the commitment Jesus had to have died for us.  He stuck with it and didn't give in to the Devil.  Thank you, Lord!

We are going to do some running around outside and Chandraya is waiting for me to go play.  

Talk with you later.

Hi Aunt Pat!!

Hi Soni!!

I was just reading thru yesterday's posts.  We were busy yesterday fixing the car.  We had no brakes left, the pads on the passenger front side were down to the metal plates that hold them.  So we haven't been driving the car for a little over a week.  It was so nice last night to be able to go out for a drive, and spend some time alone with Jon.

I am not going to be staying online long today.  Jon and I were talking and we have decided that Sundays will be a day when we can spend time together, away from the distractions of the world, to be able to talk, and study together.

And so with that, I am going to go.  God bless ya'll.

Love to all
Heather

HI Pat!!!

(https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonifopictures.com%2Fgraphics%2Fluvuthismuch.gif&hash=2523299a6649129cf111388641745ba2fb3a376f)

Soni, that's so cute!  You have the cutest little graphics.  I love you that much too.


Hi Heather.  Great to study together.  Hope everything it going well for you both.  Too bad about the brakes but good that Jon can fix them himself saving the cost of labour.

Nice devotional Pat.  Since I couldn't get to church, watched on TV.  Also saw a fine program (Living Truth) from People's Church in Toronto.  Charles Price is a fine speaker.  Talked about Demons.  Scary stuff!

I did a little searching about Pets & Heaven, since Amanda is still upset.  Found an interesting site that is from a Rev. Anne Robertson, United Methodist Church.  Printed it out for Amanda.  The site is:  

Will Mr. Pooper Go To Heaven.  It has good scripture.

The Bible is silent about lots of things.  I have never felt that silence is a negative answer.  We were given brains, and are meant to explore, using our hearts and minds.  To search for answers in logic and love.  
Like Etta Sue, I believe God uses pets to teach us about love.

When God is silent about an issue, we are meant to decide with our own hearts and minds.

1 Corinthians 2:9

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of men
The things which God has prepared for those who love him.

We need to love our Pets and when we get to Heaven, we'll find that God had a perfect plan worked out for them.

Little Zack....go find,  Will Mr. Pooper Go To Heaven. It has lots of great stuff on it....Go ask Jeeves!  You are a great little thinker!

God Bless.  Liz

Pastoral Ministry: A New Type of Preacher

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to
myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry
which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of
the grace of God.  
--Acts 20:24

If Christianity is to receive a rejuvenation, it must be by other
means than any now being used. If the Church in the second half
of this century is to recover from the injuries she suffered in
the first half, there must appear a new type of preacher. The
proper, ruler-of-the-synagogue type will never do. Neither will
the priestly type of man who carries out his duties, takes his
pay and asks no questions, nor the smooth-talking pastoral type
who knows how to make the Christian religion acceptable to
everyone. All these have been tried and found wanting.

Another kind of religious leader must arise among us. He must be
of the old prophet type, a man who has seen visions of God and
has heard a voice from the Throne. When he comes (and I pray God
there will be not one but many), he will stand in flat
contradiction to everything our smirking, smooth civilization
holds dear. He will contradict, denounce and protest in the name
of God and will earn the hatred and opposition of a large segment
of Christendom. Such a man is likely to be lean, rugged, blunt-
spoken and a little bit angry with the world. He will love Christ
and the souls of men to the point of willingness to die for the
glory of the One and the salvation of the other. But he will
fear nothing that breathes with mortal breath.  The Size of the
Soul, 128-129.

"Lord, in the first half of this current century this need is
even greater. Send to Your church today many who have 'seen
visions of God and...heard a voice from the Throne.' Amen."

Who is Mr.Pooper?

Zachery

Mr. Pooper is any pet, cat, dog, etc.  Go to 'Ask Jeeves',
type in Will Mr. Pooper Go To Heaven.  It will take you to 'Do Pets Go To Heaven?'  Scroll down until the end of article and it will give an active 'Will Mr. Pooper Go To Heaven'.  That will take you to a really interesting Bible Site about pets.  Let me know how you like it.  Trust me Zach.  I won't give you something bad.
God Bless.  Liz

It says that pets are atoamaticaly excepted! Before Adam and eve sinned, Pets did not hurt or bite anyone! now they eat meat and do things that are sin'sthey do not know right from wrong but they still sin. why? you ask. well I got bit by a dog and that is a sin from him. before Adam and Eve ate the fruite they did not do that stuff. But now they do. Adam and Eve effectad everyones chance to stay alive. even animals. Some of what that site said was true but alot was wrong. I mean Why do we have do get punished for Adam and Eves sin and animals do not?!?

Zachery

Pat in the war but that was for my time
i mean that the Queen has been in Ottawa but
after the war she has often been in Canada.

SONJA your graphics are always awesome. I love that also.  :o

Bye Love Ria    (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fchristianphotographers.com%2Fforum%2Fsmi%2Fbyebye.gif&hash=8859d570f4eed25598673bd093ec19d5f359d442)

Guess you are not going to the same site.  So will end the subject now.  Liz

Hi y-all just stopping by to say His and I have been here reading. Not going to stay on the compouter today.

TTYL

Quoteby Zachery~I mean Why do we have do get punished for Adam and Eves sin and animals do not?!?

Good answer!  Does that mean that bugs go to heaven too?

Well I hope all of you are having a good day today.

Etta Sue, thank you for remembering that we are here in the land of sun and sand.  And it IS nice.  I had a great swim in the pool this afternoon.

After our worship this morning we stopped at a Chinese restaurant for our lunch.  It was very good.  We will be going back there.

Dennis, the minister where we worship when we are down here had, an excellent lesson for us this morning.  He spoke on God's grace and started with   Ps 145:8 "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love."  He went on to discuss God's grace which is revealed to us in the gospel.  He emphasized that our salvation in Christ is God's gift to us.  We can't buy it.  We can't pay for it.  It is free if we are willing to accept it by receiving Jesus into our lives.

I'm getting ready for a walk in the neighborhood with Cornelia.  We got up early this morning and took our daughter, Martha, to the airport in Sarasota which is just 20 minutes away.  She is now back in Nashville safely and we have talked with her on the phone.  Travel and communication are so wonderful in our modern world.  It is easy for us to keep up with our loved ones even when we are far away.

Pat, I enjoyed the devotion this morning.

There are so many things which we can wonder about but which are not revealed to us.  Consequently there are often different opinions and often we hold them maybe more strongly than we should.  In any case with reference to many of these questions I have to refer to
Deut 29:29  The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever. . . .

God bless you all today.

Ok, so officially it's spring.   :-\

It's also Gene's birthday and his favorite meal is almost ready - meat loaf, mashed pottoes, broccoli with cheese and for dessert lemon meringue pie.  

Must have been a nice service, Papa John.  Christians are expected to be 'slow to anger.'

Some folks see so many thorns,
They scarce can see one rose,
While others count two blossoms
For every thorn that grows.

                 - Garrison

We now have a nice lawn swing in the back yard, thanks to my son-in-law.  Should make for a pleasant time this summer, reading and sketching.  'course I might get stung by a bee......

I'm off for the rest of the day & night.  Pleasant dreams all and God Bless.  Liz

Zachery - I'd like you to consider reading Romans 8:18-25.  It tells us that the whole creation suffers because of Man's fall.  It also tells us that "creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."  That's going to happen when Christ returns.
See - the thing is that Adam was placed in charge of all the animals, etc. at the time of creation, and when he fell, it caused great harm for all the rest of creation as well.  But in Christ there is redemption, not only of man, but also of creation.  I must assume that includes the animals as well.

Hi, everyone!  We just got home a while ago from Hugoton.  We enjoyed the church service this morning.  Pastor Eric is still teaching through the book of Genesis, is now up to chapter 45.  Interesting series, and I am gaining insights each Sunday.

Papa John, I'm so happy you're enjoying your time in Florida.   ;D ;D

Zachery, I had no idea that people might have such strong opinions about whether or not there will be animals in heaven.  I just thought it might spark some conversation in here.  I miss Mieka's questions!  There is a video by several well-known preachers titled "Animals in Heaven?"  and I would like to watch it, but I don't want to spend the $25 to buy it.  (Cheapskate!) ;)

Marilyn, I believe the time when the lion shall lie down with the lamb is during the millenial reign of Jesus here on earth.  Of course, I could be wrong!  (Imagine that!?!?!)  hahaha.  Also, I don't know that His horse is a stallion---it just says a white horse!  ;) ;) ;D  I hope you realize that I am teasing you!

Ria and Pat, I hope the wind doesn't blow on either of your houses tonight so you can sleep peacefully.

Larry, how did the Homeowners meeting go?  How often do you have those?

Eddie, that is really wonderful that your family continue to come into the fold.  I have some in my family I am still praying earnestly for---and know the time is growing short!

Liz, I hope to have time to go look at the site you talked about concerning the animals.  Thanks!

Curtis is home for Spring break, sure was good to see him and get some of those great hugs!  I plan to go down this weekend and take pics of him and Toni and Mark all ready for the Prom.  Ahhhh,,,,,,,,youth!

Etta Sue, hearing the sermon twice should help you not to miss any of it!  That would be good sometimes.

See y'all later!

Janet, we always enjoy this springtime in Florida.  I believe this is the 11th year in a row we have come down here.  It is very peaceful here where we are in a nice neighborhood not far from the bridge over to the beach.

Time to say good night.  I hope you all have a good rest tonight and a good day tomorrow.

Pat: Thanks for the devotional this morning. As I have been reading the posts I am enjoying yesterday's music.

It has been such a windy and cold day here and as I was reminded it is still only March what else can we expect.


Ruth

Good Evening Everyone!
Just stopped by to say hello-I hope that everyone has had a blessed day in the Lord. We had a beautiful service-it is our 3rd week now in our new "meeting place" yesterday as I was on my way taking our daughter to her friends I drove by the church and prayed the Lords blessings to bring new people in and we had our first visitor today. The Lord even used little ole me in giving her a prophetic word! God is so good-I am so excited to see where God is going to take us and what He is going to do..I am amazed of the Love that He has for us..Not much else going on-I am going to be making some new cards soon. I decided on a camera now just praying for the funds to come in..:) Hugs to Everyone!
Rachelle

We are not long home here tonight.  Church was over at 7:30 and by the time we picked up Melaura from drill practise and got home it was rather late.

Animals in heaven?  Yes I do believe there will be.  It talks about there being beasts in heaven.

Pastor Dennis made a comment today that I liked.  He is a Panmillenialist.  He doesn;t know how the end times are going to work out, but he believes things will PAN out the way the Lord plans and we need to remember that the most important thing is that we remember that Jesus is coming again SOON and we had better be ready.

Something else he said was.
In Jesus Christ we are no longer defined by our mistakes or our sin.
Think about that.  How often have people thrown something you did in the past into your face.  That does not define who you are in Christs eyes!  It is not where you are coming from that counts, it is where you are going!

Well enough for now.
Judy

I think you all have it wrong.  :(

Zachery is just a curious young man wanting to learn more and he has asked questions and no one is answering them.  He is NOT mad.  He is curious.  If you don't want to answer questions then tell him that.  Just don't assume he is mad.  Remember he is 13 and this is the internet.  We can not see others expressions.  :D

Even I, am willing to listen to reason.  I asked a question and I guess you thought I was making fun.  Well, I wasn't.

Thank you, Al for that verse.

We just got back from the night service and choir practice.  We have acquired 3 more folks to sing with us.  ;D  Our church is growing leaps and bounds.
Since our new Pastor came we have had 2 folks that I know of, give their hearts to Jesus. Wooooo hoooo...Praise God, two more going to Heaven.  

Heaven will be a wonderful place with streets of gold and gates of pearls.   The Bible says there will be no more sadness or crying or death or anything negative.  We will so happy in heaven just worshipping Jesus.   I guess if bugs did not bite us or sting us or cause some kind of problem, they would be allowed.   But only wonderful things will be there.  

I like Papa John's verse in Deut. 29: 29 that said the secret things belong to God, but things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.   In other words, some things we don't know about, but we can use some logic about things to be.

Ruthie

I have just come back from an awesome concert with different artists singing about our wonderful Lord.  We sat for 3 1/2 hours listening and worshipping the Lord as these singers from different parts of the world lifted Him up.  Three brothers from the Congo sang with their African accent.   How amazing.  But 3 1/2 hours was just an appetizer.   We could have listened for 3 more hours.   Wow,  in heaven it will be so wonderful when we have all eternity to praise Him and worship Him and lift Him up, the Lamb of God who gave His life so we can have eternal life!

Well it is 11:00 p.m. time to go to bed.

Goodnight everyone.

Love Ruthie

Hi Folks. Finnally a chance to get on the computer and read all the postings from this week and do a post of my own. Well this week was an interseting week on my trip to Guntown MS. Quite a name for a small southern town. The weather was just beautiful and spring has certainly sprung down there. I had an opprotunity to have lunch with Ruth Anne and we had a great time talking about a variety of topics. I found the time went by so quickly. I'm sure we could have carried the conversation on much longer but we both had to get back to work. I also met an old trucker freind on the trip who is also a Christian and we sat an talked for a couple of hours as well. What a great trip of fellowship with freinds. I enjoy getting to know people along the way and have oprotunities to talk to them from time to time. it makes the white line on the road seem a little bit brighter.
We got this am to some cold weather again but went to church and had a great time there. In was nice and warm inside and the pastor delivered a geat message today. I've invited him to join me on one of my trips to get some first hand experience on where we truckers live and the issues we deal with on a daily basis. He assures me he will take me up on my offer some day. We have a number of truckers in the church.
Well I'll call it a day for now and get some rest. I leave again tommorrow and this time I am off to TN again.
Bye for now God Bless. Bonesy
