Life is Precious

The Ticket Author Unknown Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often? When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard. Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand. Bob? Bob from church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat. This was worse than the coming ticket. A Christian cop catching a guy from his own church. A guy who happened to be a little anxious to get home after a long day at the office. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow. Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man he'd never seen in uniform. "Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this." "Hello, Jack." No smile. "Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids." "Yeah, I gues...

Did you know . . .

OK I have to admit that I am sending this one out without checking to see if it is true or not. I thought it was cute. Did you know . . . ' Stewardesses'    is the longest word typed with only the left hand And 'lollipop '   is the longest word typed with your right hand.   (Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?) No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. 'Dreamt ' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt '.? (Are you doubting this?) Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears   never stop growing. The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ' uses every letter of the alphabet.   (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?) The words 'racecar,'   'kayak'    and 'level'    are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).   (Yep, I knew you were going t...

Jokes for the Week

The Rabbi's Son There once was a Rabbi. His son was quickly reaching adulthood and he felt his son just didn't have the appreciation for the Jewish religion that an adult should have so he decided to send him on a trip to the holy lands to get a first hand look at Jewish culture. The boy came back from the trip and the father was asking him how it went. "Oh it was really great dad, thanks! But, I must tell you that i'm a Christian now." The father was none too pleased and felt he had to do something but didn't know what. he went to a fellow Rabbi and told him the situation. The Rabbi exclaimed, "don't look at me! I sent my son to Jerusalem and he came back a Christian also. Their combined opinion was that it was a conspiracy and decided to go to the Head Rabbi. The Head Rabbi exclaimed, "Don't look at me! I too sent my son to Jerusalem and he came back a Christian. this is something we MUST pray over." All three kneeled and prayed...

All We Need is Love

Am excited about what am about to share with you today , my friend, it is going to show that no matter what you are facing or passing through that there is hope that time will heal that situation... I would like you to take time and go through the short story and the Bible passages at the end of the post carefully, so you could grasp the seriousness of the the matter at hand for many at times we forget the whole point of our existence. We are in a War wether we accept it or not! am not talking about the physical war of machines or quarrels/cat fights we normally have with one another but, the War Within, that don't seem to have an end in sight. It has to do with issue of LOVE for ourselves, our neighbors, and the rest of mankind in general... We battle daily with this. According to the Wikipedia definition ... The Bible speaks of love as a set of attitudes and actions that are far broader than the concept of love as an emotional attachment. Love is seen as a set of behaviors that ...

Nuggets for the Week

God doesn't want shares of your life, He wants controlling interest! God does what few men can do--forgets the sins of others. All sore and weak from Backsliding?  Try Pew Sitting and Knee Bends. Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around--, Faith looks up! Prayer is more effective when we spend as much time listening as we do talking-- A problem not worth praying about isn't worth worrying about. Faith is caught-- not taught. Pray in season and out of season God loves everyone, but probably prefers 'fruits of the spirit' over 'religious nuts'! God needs our availability more than our ability. Don't condone what God condemns. No Jesus, no peace; Know Jesus, know peace We don't change the message, the message changes us. What you really, really desire  is what you worship. Jesus became what we are so we can become like He is. If you love me, keep my commandments!1 John14:15 If you're a Christian, earth is the only hell you'll ever know!...

Prayer Points for Spiritual Growth

Message: John 3:30. For all believers who desire meaningful spiritual growth in their walk with God. There is no height you cannot attain in the spirit if only you are ready to take the bull by the horn; do away with every form of hindrance and follow the principles of spiritual growth laid down in God's word. Hebrews 5:12-14  12 You have been Christians a long time now, and you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things a beginner must learn about the Scriptures.* You are like babies who drink only milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 And a person who is living on milk isn’t very far along in the Christian life and doesn’t know much about doing what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who have trained themselves to recognize the difference between right and wrong and then do what is right." Jesus expects each believer to grow to the level where he can teach others. In many of the Epistles, the believer is encour...

A Lesson in Giving

What's Love and care Gotta do with anything? Read this Story my Friend and find out! Chopsticks In Korea, there is a legend about a native warrior who died and went to heaven. "Before I enter," he said to the gatekeeper, "I would like you to take me on a tour of hell." The gatekeeper found a guide to take the warrior to hell. When they got there, the warrior was astonished to see a great table piled high with every tasty food he could imagine - anything one could possibly want to eat or drink. The warrior then looked at the people. They were all starving. "How could this be?" he asked the guide. "Are they not allowed to eat?" "Oh yes, they can eat," said the guide "but they must use the chopsticks they are given. They are five feet long and they must hold them at the end. Just look at them. They miss their mouths every time!" "Enough," said the warrior, "This is hell, indeed! Please take me back to heaven....

A CITY GATE Most Ancient Cities relied on gates for protection this one "Herod's Gate" is one old city of Jerusalem and dates back to the time of the crusades it is decorated in this photo for the New Years Celebration. A TRIUMPHAL ARCH A triumphal arch is a structure in the shape of a monumental archway, in theory built to celebrate a victory in war, actually used to celebrate a ruler. The classical triumphal arch is a free-standing structure, quite separate from city gates or walls, but the form is often used in engaged arches as well. In its simplest form a triumphal arch consists of two massive piers connected by an arch, crowned with a flat superstructure or attic on which a statue might be mounted or which bears commemorative inscriptions. The structure should be decorated with carvings, notably including "Victories", winged female figures (very similar to angels), a pair of which typically occupy the curved triangles beside the top of the arch curve.

Healed and Whole

One day I dug a little hole, and put my hurt inside I thought that I could just forget I'd put it there to hide. But that little hurt began to grow, I covered it every day I couldn't leave it and go on It seemed the price I had to pay. My joy was gone, my heart was sad, pain was all I knew. My wounded soul enveloped me Loving seemed too hard to do. One day, while standing by my hole, I cried to God above And said, "If You are really there, They say, You're a God of Love!" And just like that, He was right there, And just put His arms around me He wiped my tears, his hurting child there was no safer place to be. I told Him all about my hurt, I opened up my heart He listened to each and every word to every sordid part. I dug down deep and got my hurt I brushed the dirt away And placed it in the Master...

A Very Big God!!!

We serve an awesome God! A very Big God, I tell you sometimes I feel that I can fit God into my little plans/dreams... LOL. I would love for you my friend in Christ, to pay attention to the lyrics of this song and I hope and Pray that the Word comes alive for you to grasp the true meaning of Trusting God even as I have learned.

I Tell You...

God knows When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts God knows how hard you have tried. When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish God has Counted your tears. If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by God is waiting with you. When you're lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone call God is by your side. When you think you've tried everything and don't know where to turn God has a solution. When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated God has the answer. If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope God has whispered to you. When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for God has blessed you. When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe God has smiled upon you. When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow God has opened your eyes and called you by name. Remember that wherever y...

Confessions of Faith

Make these confessions to establish your identity in Christ Jesus. I am not what the world thinks or says I am. I am not what the devil or the kingdom of darkness says, imagines or has designed me to be. I am not the picture of what my idolatrous forefathers wished I should be. I am not what the unregenerate mind of any friend thinks I am. I am not what my father and mother think or want me to be. I am not what my village wickedness, household wickedness and environmental wickedness want me to be. I am not a picture of what the national economy and institutionalized wickedness has restructured the people to be. I am not what I think I am. I am what the Word of God says I am. I am an express image of Jehovah God on earth. I am fashioned after the likeness of the Creator of the heaven and earth. I am regenerated by the blood of Jesus. I am ransomed from the powers of death and hell. I am ...

Nuggets for the Week

Faith is a plant which grows best in the winter. James Kennedy Man's way leads to a hopeless end! Gods way leads to an endless hope! A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. If you pause to think-- You'll have cause to thank! Holiness is not the way to Jesus--. Jesus is the way to holiness. The 'Promised Land' is always on the other side of the wilderness. To be lifted up --, go down (on your knees). Satan can't bring you down any further than your knees. Life is fragile---, handle with prayer. Prayer doesn't make the morning come faster, but it sure makes the night seem shorter! To be almost saved-- is to be totally lost-- Keep your head and your heart pointed in the right direction and you wont have to worry about your feet. When you get tired talking to your friend about God--, talk to God about your friend. If a man can be found faithful in hard places, he can usually be trusted in high places. This battle is not yours--...

Jokes for the Week

You're Under Arrest Two cars are waiting at a stoplight. The light turns green, but the man in front doesn't notice it. A woman in the car behind him is watching traffic pass around them. She begins pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man doesn't move. The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash. The light turns yellow. The woman begins to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams curses at the man. The man, hearing the commotion, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red. The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection. As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious looking policeman. The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies...

Short Stories

I love this Story... please do read it and be blessed, even as I was by it. Struggle A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force the body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. Then the man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shrivelled wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen bo...

I Know That My Redeemer Liveth

When you face a Job-like situation and you desire that God should manifest His power The trials, temptations and adversities of Job and his ultimate triumph and the restoration of all his losses, establishes the fact that the great Redeemer lives. This is sufficient to allay any fear you may have concerning any bitter experience you are undergoing at present. Job 19:25: "For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:" Our redeemer is God or the Messiah. The word redeem means to buy back. The laws of the redemption of property are recorded in Leviticus 25. Property can be returned to the owner or his next of kin at any time or in the Year of Jubilee. Jesus is our Redeemer. He is the 'Firstborn of every creature' (Colosians. 1:15). He is our Big Brother and He has come to redeem us from the clutches of Satan, sin, sickness, death and poverty (Gal. 3:13). By His death on the cross, He purchased us with His precious blood so...

Power for a New Beginning

Psalm 103:5 - Against the spirit of stagnation - When you desire that new things should begin in your life The end of your sinful, hopeless, helpless, weary and frustrating life is a new beginning of a vibrant and existing life in Christ. Isaiah. 43:19: "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Listen to these stories. There was one woman, called May. She sobbed uncontrollably; after 35 years of marriage, her husband died. All her plans for retirement were of no use. Two. Men are not supposed to cry; they are supposed to be strong; yet Andrew covered his face with his hands and wept bitterly because his business had collapsed. All his hand-work and all his dreams were shattered. Three. Anne suddenly found herself jobless. Where will she start from? Four. Paul cried out in unbelief when his fiancee called off their engagement because she had met someone else. Your ow...
