If you’re spiritually live, you’re going to love this!
If you’re dead, you won’t want to read it.
If you’re spiritually curious, there is still hope!
A church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and
complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.
“I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have
heard something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can’t
remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and
the preachers are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.” That
started a real controversy in the “Letters to the Editor” column.
Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until
someone wrote this clincher: I’ve been married for 30 years now. In
that time, my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life
of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those
meals. But I do know this. They all nourished me and gave me
strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these
meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not
gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead
today!
WHEN YOU ARE DOWN TO NOTHING, GOD IS UP TO SOMETHING!
FAITH SEES THE INCREDIBLE AND RECEIVES THE IMPOSSIBLE!
THANK GOD FOR OR SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT…….
WHEN SATAN IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR, SIMPLY SAY, “JESUS, COULD
YOU GET THAT FOR ME?”
IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN ALL, YOU CANNOT SEE GOD AT ALL!
B.I.B.L.E. SIMPLY MEANS: BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING
EARTH!

Thanks to Linda Campbell for forwarding this into the office!
It’s great too!
SAYING GRACE A blessing to be remembered
A visiting Pastor was attending a men’s breakfast in Farm
County. He asked one of
the impressive older farmers in attendance to day grace that
morning.
After all were seated, the older farmer began…….”Lord, I hate
buttermilk.”
The Pastor opened one eye and wondered where this was going.
Then the farmer loudly proclaimed, “Lord, I hate Lard.”
Now the Pastor was worried. However, without missing a beat, the
farmer prayed on, ” And Lord, you know I don’t care much for raw
white flour.”
Just as the Pastor was ready to stand and stop everything, the
farmer continued, “But Lord, when you
mix ‘em all together and bake ‘em up, I do love fresh biscuits.
So Lord, when things come up we don’t like, when life gets hard,
when we just don’t understand what you are sayin’ to us, we just
need to relax and
wait ‘till You are done mixin’ and probably it will be
something’ even better than biscuits. AMEN!!!
