Study Tools
 If you don't have a Bible you need to get one, it is the most important
book you can own. It is the Book of the Covenant of God to mankind. It
is the source and the goal of our Study.
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of
salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its
decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and
practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you,
and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the
soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven
opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand subject, our good the design, and the glory of God
its end.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly,
frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a
river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgement,
and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will
reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred
contents.

Night Crew
Pat?s first job was working on the night crew at a grocery store. After closing time, he and the other employees stocked the shelves. Pat?s boss had instructed them to always turn the soup cans forward so that the label could be read easily. But he had gone a little further by saying, ?Make sure that they?re facing forward?three cans back.? One night as Pat was arranging the shelves, his co-workers began to scoff, ?Just make sure the front can is turned the right way. Who?s gonna know??

Prepared For The Real Thing
Through the years, quite a few people have predicted the return of Jesus at a specific time. Just last year an American radio preacher stirred up the interest of the mainstream media with his prediction that Jesus would return on May 21, 2011.

A Sense Of History
As my wife and I toured the British Museum, we were struck by the history and legacy contained in that massive facility in London. We looked at artifacts that were centuries older than anything found in the United States, reminding me how valuable it is to have a sense of history. History gives us a record of perspective, context, and consequences that can help us make wise choices as we learn from both the successes and failures of those who have gone before us.

Calvary shows how far men will go in sin, and how far God will go for man's salvation.
H. C. Trumbull
Luke 22:33  33When
they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him,
along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.
Calvary also shows proof that man is enslaved to sin and a stranger to God by birth since the disobedience of Adam and Eve.
Romans 5:12 ,19
12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so...

The word preach appears 153+ times in the Bible!
The
word “Preach” in the Webster dictionary says the word “Preach” means
this: To deliver a sermon; To give earnest advice. To proclaim; To
publish in religious discourses; To deliver in public, as a discourse…..
When
people hear the word preach we have a tendency in our minds eye to in
vision a self righteous person pointing the finger telling people get
right or go to hell!
With that in mind folks will use the phrase “Well I don’t need to preach to people I just show them with my life”
While
there is some truth to leading by example...

This week I decided to share a message from a devotional I get because I thought it was important!
Loving People, Not Just Words
By Eric Elder
www.theranch.org (http://www.theranch.org)
The day I put my faith in Jesus was the same day I put my faith in
the Bible, from which I learned about Jesus. I fell in love with
both on the same day.
When people talk about how much they love the Bible, they’re not just
talking about a book from which they’ve learned much, they’re also
talking about a Person from whom they’ve learned much.
I suppose it’s like a young...
