Cain and Abel Should Have Known Josh....

Spring cleaning...a Homeschool memory of a 5 year old Josh when asked to write why brothers should not fight (thank goodness we moved on to phonics after this)....I think both Abraham and Jacob could have used this advise to teach their children! Joshua is now 18 and graduating this year...I think he should run on this platform for public office!!!

We love because he first loved us. Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also. (1 John 4:19-21)

Direction to Charlie Sheen's House....

I think I found out how to get to Charlie Sheen's house...

It seems more people have an interest in following the lives of celebrities and politicians more than following the directions on how to find God.

Let me give you a better set of instructions:

John 14:6-7Jesus said, "I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You've even seen him!"

Just Thinkin',

HEADLINES And HIGHLIGHTS May seem depressing…These are some I’ve seen just today:

*Can Japan SURVIVE this disaster?
*China issues monitor order OVER Japan’s radiation levels.
*News alert WORKERS evacuated from plant…
*Water RECLAIMS land in Japan…new map will remain…
*Disaster on the NEWS just ahead …stay with us…
*Oil and Gas prices have RISEN, now over $100 a barrel…
*Fighting continues in Afghanistan TODAY…
*U.N. Shocked by Ivory Coast BLOODSHED…
*Nuclear POWER RECONSIDERED due to humanitarian interest in relief effort in Japan.
*CEASE fire called for in no FLY zone
*Stay inside due to radiation risk, keep AWAY from outdoors.
*Young man found LIVING in rubble days after Quake…
*WATER shortage….
*Some are now abandoning their religion and questioning GOD amidst all the horrific news around the globe…
*CONTROL of Gaza uncertain as September deadline approaches.

But if we look again…a SECOND LOOK at the HIGHLIGHTS…I can find hope hidden beneath the fear…

In order to SURVIVE…I have turned my life OVER to God. I, with other WORKERS for our Lord have hope.
He RECLAIMS the lives of those who trust HIM. The good NEWS is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He has RISEN! TODAY you can accept the fact that HIS BLOODSHED was for you! It is the POWER that leads to your salvation. I hope you have RECONSIDERED your sin and choose to CEASE living for yourself and choose to FLY AWAY to the only LIVING WATER…GOD…through HIS SON JESUS CHRIST alone…HE/they are in CONTROL.

Won’t you trust Him today? None of these horrific headlines took HIM by surprise. He warned of all these events, signs, in prophetic writings of scripture. Please don’t be discouraged…unless of course you refuse HIM as your LORD and SAVIOR…then…you need be very, very discouraged.
He, Jesus Christ, Is my hope…my Lord, my Savior…I will yet praise Him even in the day of trouble.
We continue to pray for those around the world who are suffering tonight. I pray also, that many will confess Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead…and one day very soon…we will see Him face to face.
Will you be there?
I pray so,
AMEN

Most of us have seen the guy holding a John 3:16 sign up at a sporting event on TV, but what is that?
The name of the book in the bible is John , and in John 3:16 the traditional version says, "God so loved the world that He sent His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
This is another translation called THE MESSAGE:
John 3:16-18
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him."

You are important to us.
Thank you for reading.

Some of us get stuck trying to figure out how to study God's word. We either are in our cars driving kids back and forth, or working at the office or home, or just having a tough time concentrating. I really like listening to God's Word being read (word for word) and also looking up online specific scriptures.

Sometimes we just need a guide or someone to help us along. I love my own personal time digging in my bible, but these are a couple of tools that have encouraged me.

I hope you find them helpful too.

CD set of the New Testament and Bible Gateway online access to the Bible in several translations.

I like to use the Biblegateway as I do my weekly Bible Study so I can go back and forth between the scriptures given in my studies.
