quotes

Robert Louis Stevenson said...." For God's sake give me someone who has brains enough to make a fool of himself."

It made me think about STANDING UP for God in whom I believe. It made me think of this verse-

In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
Psalm 56

What can man do to you....or me??? REALLY?

What can God do :)

eternal life

a life of service
service brings joy
joy brings happiness
and God smiles

amen

ray lamontagne sang----love is the answer
and of course the BEATLES sang

love is all you need.

and U2 sang----how long, how long must we sing this song

they are no different

we are no different

we as people are all the same

we try to be different with our appearance, but we all have sin & shame

I know the non-christians love when we take that pity us approach, but it is true.

we all have sin

when we can GET His grace we have won

won eternal life, won TRUTH over the falsehood of this place we call home

me? I call heaven home....and He is calling me.

won't you join me?

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.

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.

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.

2 9 (twenty-nine)

Psalms/Proverbs
Chapter 29
Verse 13: The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both.

Verse 11: The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace


That's all your getting tonite....want more, go read the entire chapters of each

O' Holy Nite

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.


IMAGINE-- The scene above is not the scene of the Chirst's birth. The Lord was born in a manger all pretty with hay and friendly barn animals just like when you go to the petting zoo....it's the picture I have, I doubt it is accurate.

I imagine much like His death, His birth was not in a plesant environment. Jesus was born dirt poor, literally.

And to think of the poor....think of them. They are so thankful for everything.

Tonite like all nites is holy. When you know Jesus, you know the poor and when you know the poor you know that every nite is holy.

Peace on earth comes from knowing Christ; may you know Him.

Kingda Ka

Six Flags Great Adventure

Jackson Township, New Jersey

I have never experienced anything quite like this. Nervousness, a rush, fear, adrenaline, more fear and then a desire to experience it all again. Maybe I have experienced something like this Kingda Ka before and it's called LOVE.

Be it love or a roller coaster they tend to bring out those same emotions.

I'm sorry Jesus for the times I have let you down. I'm sorry when my roller coaster is headed to the ground. And then I read your word or am encouraged by a brother and my coaster is climbing to the top, reaching for my eternal dwelling place.

Jesus my life is like this roller coaster and I am thankful that you are the track my coaster is attached to...thankyou.

LONELY!

i am lonely, i have cried out to my brothers asking for prayers and no one responds?!

my parents seperated & divorced when I was 12 years old. we played Rummy 500, a family fave and then they said they had to explore if they "still" loved each other....they determined they didn't.

I have found NOTHING consistent in this world.

after my parents divorced my italian grandmother was "there" for me. I loved her, she loved me. she made me pop-corn and bologna and american cheese on white bread with butter and would always have Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer in in the fridge for me. i loved her. she loved me. it was consistent. she was always there....

till she wasn't
she died
she left
she left forever

and then i knew

God is forever....NOTHING ELSE, but Him.

Psalm 107

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.
Let them give thanks to the Lord....
for He is good, His love endures forever, His unfailing love, His wonderful deeds for men,
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.

Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD.

ahhhh....the Psalms, sweetness!

ahhhhh the joys of camp

how I miss walking down the gravel road

headin' to the dining hall or Garrett

or whatabout walking "home" to the cabin after camp fire---isn't that the best?

the people in your cabin, and the relationships you build with everyone, and most of all the relationships you build with God

Giving to the poor

sorry....(not really, sorry that is)

YET another post about the homeless.

C'mon people WHERE was Jesus? Who was he with?
Where did He hang?

with the poor.

sure it's their fault right?
I mean why else are they poor in AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL? Huh? Why?
If they can't get rich here they must be sluggards.....right?
(read major sarcasm throughout this post)
STOP!
STOP!
No....really....stop-

the homeless, the fake homeless and the poor of the world.

Please, please start to see them...Our Saviour not only saw them, but lived with them can't we at least give to them?
please
just a little
for your sake?
