FELLOWSHIP IN THE LOCAL CHURCH? (WARM FELLOWSHIP)
THis is one of the many things that I really like about you my sister in
Christ! :-) This message is in time, I'm struggling, don't mind telling you,
recently about right after new years I left my church, see the spirit been
replace with politics, fund raising, fashions, envasive, could go on with this
list, I found out that I was being stress to it's limits, to the point where I
was taking more prescription medicines such as tranquilizers and such, but I
kept praying to God and believing that this too shall pass, finally without
notice I just stop going to church, choir, programs, etc. since then I have
completely stop taking those medications and at the same time have been
unsuccessfully not finding another church home and know in my heart and soul
that I
can't go back to that place.
Problem folks in this town know me and to me all they mostly say to me is
"oh we could use you for our choir, we could use you being our program
coordinator, but the words "we could use you" does come up, I want to start
over from
fresh, being unknown, that seem impossible though, listen to me I'm just
going on and on, I'm going to close for know but not further admitting it does
feel nice being able to finally talk about it.
Sis, continue being beautiful instrument of our Lord.

Lord, help us see how much we need each other
As we walk along the Christian way;
In fellowship with sister and with brother,
You will keep us growing day by day.
How important is your fellowship in the local
church?
Do you sit in silence while the minister preaches?
Do you look around and gaze at others during the
sermon?
Does your minister glance at his watch while
preaching?
Do you say, thanks for the sermon pastor, I see you at church next Sunday?
TAKE ONE MINUTE EACH DAY FOR GOD!
GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIS WORD
TO THOSE WHO LISTEN WITH THEIR HEART.
When we wake up each morning,
we know not what awaits.
~ SIDE BY SIDE ~
They lie on the table side by side
The Holy Bible and the TV guide.
One is well worn and cherished with pride.
Not the Bible, but the TV guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide.
No, not the Bible, but the TV guide.
As the pages are turned, what shall they see,
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV
So they open the book in which they confide,
No, not the Bible, but the TV guide.
The Word of God is seldom read.
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be.
Not from reading the Bible, from watching TV.
So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Bible and the TV guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the Word,
The plan of Salvation is seldom heard.
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,
Is found in the Bible, not on TV.
Go tell it on the Mountain that Jesus Christ is
Lord!
Teach Our Children! Save a Soul!
Do you struggle with reading the Word of God on a
daily basis?
Set time aside to allow the Word to penetrate your
spirit, soul
and body, and reap the blessings of maturity and
wisdom!
JESUS IS LORD

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not
protect you.
Don't miss out on your BLESSING just because it's not in the package you
was expecting...
