From the Bishop

Standing On the Shoulders of Giants

FROM THE BISHOP

PRAISE THE LORD

EVERYONE. In a few days

after you receive this news

letter, we will once again

celebrate the Thanksgiving

holiday. Most think it is a

time when families gather

together and eat. Some will

think only of a turkey, while

others will think of football,

while a few may be thankful

for another year to be alive.

Let us reflect back on the

early Thanksgiving when

people would gather togeth-

er and be thankful to God

for allowing them to be in a

place of religious freedom.

A place where they could

worship God as they wanted

to, thankful where they

could attend the church of

their choice. Let me encour-

age everyone to give thanks,

not only once a year, but

everyday because of a Savior

that loved us enough to send

His Spirit to fill us and keepus from harm. Be thankful

for a Savior that took the

stripes upon His back for the

healing of our physical bod-

ies. Be thankful for a Savior

who loved us enough to give

His life on a cruel cross for

the saving of our souls. Be

thankful because when all

we had to look forward to

was death, He came and

offered us eternal life. Let'smake Him the number one

thing in our lives. Be thank-

ful for our everyday needs

that He meets and the air we

breath. In our country our

Church of Jesus Christ Organi-

zation in 1965, and the Banner of

Love in 1966. He will be remem-bered as a tenderhearted, loving

and forgiving man of faith whose

life passion was the Kingdom of

God. We do well to follow his

example.

Remember them that had the

rule over you, men that spake

unto you the word of God; and

considering the issue of their life,

imitate their faith Heb 13:7

Bishop H.E. Honea was a man of

deep, abiding faith in God and

love for people. He went home to

be with the Lord on June 10,

2009 leaving behind an impres-

sive legacy of life and ministry.

dained Bishop in 1965, Bishop

Honea ordained 120 ministers

and 32 surrendered to preach

under his ministry. Bishop Honea

pastored the Tullahoma Church

"Remember all the people who are depending on you to be

in a place where you hear God; they will either live or die,

according to your ability to hear God. If you don't see the

power of your presence, you will never understand the

tragedy caused by your absence"
