Hymn from Wednesday AM service

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore,
Feed me now and evermore.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield;
Be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Cannan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.

Happy Atheist's Day

Well, it's that time of year again where we pay homage to the atheist of our world.

Happy Atheist's Day

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” Psalms 14:1

In the words of Mr. T, "I pity the fool."

The world is full of foolish fish.

Go Fish!

Row, row, row your boat into your mission field.
Jesus calls us to live out our faith in all of life. So, row your boat across the street to your neighbor's house. Row it to your work. Row it home. Row it anywhere and everywhere the rhythms of your life take you. Then, get out of the boat and live "in" Christ and minister to your sphere of life.

Go Fish! (Pray, Care and Share)

Now or Later

Do you remember eating a now or later as a kid?

The person who gave us the candy would say, you can eat it now or later. Of course we would eat it now and it would last a long time.

Well, the gift that we receive from God is not for now or later. It is for now and later. This gift is eternal life. When we repent and trust Christ by faith for our salvation, he gives us this gift of eternal life. Some people feel this is just something far off, but it is not. We were all made to live eternally. We will live forever in one of two places. Some who don't repent and trust Christ will spend eternity separated from God in a nasty place called hell. Those who have repented will spend eternity in heaven and the new earth with God.

NOW, you have an opportunity to choose where you will spend eternity. The second book of Corinthians chapter six and verse two states: In a favorable time I listened to you and in a day of salvation I have helped you. Behold now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

LATER, there might not be a later. Choose this day whom you will serve. Will it be yourself, wife, kids, carrier? These will not last. Without a relationship with Jesus there is no life.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Trust in him and he will not fail you.

Moments At the Fishing Hole 5

Interesting things happen when you consistently share your faith. Before eating breakfast at a hotel, I asked the hostess if she needed prayer for anything. She quickly said yes. She was having marriage problems and asked for prayer. I immediately prayed for her and encouraged her. It turns out she was a believer in need. Within a few minutes she came back to my table and asked if I would pray for a co-worker. I finished my breakfast and started looking for them. Her co-worker was also in need of prayer for her marriage. It was like revival broke out in the hotel. We gathered for prayer and God used us to minister to those two ladies. They were very thankful and moved that God would send a stranger to care for them. Before I left, I connected them to a Pastor friend of mine in that town.

Expect God to connect you to those in need of Him. Pray and be ready.

Go Fish!
