How can they understand?

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

John 1

Your friends, your co-workers, your classmates & your family....maybe they are in the dark? You are either in the light or the dark.....IF you or they are in the DARK they DO NOT UNDERSTAND the LIGHT.

It is up to you.....YOU ARE THE LIGHT!

can't get no--- a no, no, no

A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

From the book of Ecclesiastes

Okay---F o c u s

the best a man can ever do is find satisfaction in his work
stay focused---- for without Him who can eat or find enjoyment

The BASE is GOD

make him your base, for everything else is meaningless

what the guitar player said

I love attending "live" music shows. Years ago I caught Jars of Clay out at Hershey and the lead singer said this...

"we as Christians need to stop bickering about the differences between our religions, all the non-Christians look over at us bickering and say....why do I want to be a part of that?"

The other night in Philly, Chris the guitar player had this to say....

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind & strength and let's not forget the second part...love your neighbor as yourself"

I just wanted to add to Chris' statement---Who's your neighbor?

Don't tell me....just think about it.

WHO IS YOUR NEIGHBOR?

is it everybody or just who you want it to be

3 verses

The lamp of the LORD searches the spirit of a man; it searches out his inmost being.

The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.

you pick the 3rd

DVCC Board Meeting

One of the agenda items for Tues nite's Delaware Valley Christian Camp meeting is "toothbrush"

Now what's that about????

just the word "toothbrush" on an camp board's agenda....lol!!!

God is good!!!!!

r u ready?

God is calling!

He is calling you!!

He is always there to LOVE you!!!

He does not ever fail....not ever.

The question is....

r u ready?

Are you ready to be loved by Him who gives love to all
To everyone!
Especially the corrupt, the hurt the lonely, the bored

He gives love to all, freely He gives.
All He wants is you.....all of you.
Every single ounce of you.
It is a lot He wants....I admit it.

If you give to Him you will never ever be disappointed....not ever.
No need to look to the skies....just read this-
I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.

Once you believe; continue to seek Him. Look for Him in others. Look for Him in the book called the Bible, look to Him and He will meet your needs....all of them.

....and if you need.....call me 267-236-3237 (Tate) and I will help you see Him.

amen

tattoos

For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; Romans 12:3

I think I could read this every minute of every day and still struggle with it.
I have thought of time to time of getting a tat. My bro-in-law has a tat of the Steelers 'cause he loves them. I have thought of a chili pepper or an outline of New Jersey. Two things that identify me...but I would never do it, to permanent.
If I were to get a tattoo....I would have something like that verse tattooed on my hand or wrist to remind me.....to remind me, again and again.
I could look at my hand...."not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think" and then I would look at my hand again and read; "not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think" and again, and again, and again.
and maybe one day it would work.
