With all the bad things happening many ask God, “Why don’t you do something about it?” I think God asks us the same question! – Pastor Troy Taylor of Grace Assembly Bakersfield, California

Sunday was an AWESOME day in the Lord….I was so blessed to be able to assist Pastor Jim in the Baptism of two adults! It was my first baptism as Associate Pastor. Their two small children were there with Mom and Dad………Dad has been drug free for 8 months……he was nervous about being baptized……he did want to be baptized and then slide back into drug abuse…….After talking and praying……..he was baptized …….please pray for Alex. I told him we would be praying and we would, as God’s family stick with him and his family. This fit’s in with the quote from Pastor Troy at the top….what can we do? We can reach out to others!
At Sunday School Wanell taught on the Ten Commandments……I had never heard such an excellent lesson on the Ten commandments! It had been too long since I had heard anyone speak on the Commandments! Are they posted in your Church? Home? My Uncle Joe says that America is where it is at because many do not pay attention to the 10 Commandments!
The Ten Commandments are simple enough for a child to understand and follow; yet they profoundly govern the deepest desires of the human heart. They affirm that people were meant for God, for family, and for one another. They offer firm and healthy boundaries for worship, work, and marriage. Without them, the Bible would be incomplete, since much of Jesus teaching ministry reflects on them. Because of this, they have remained in the center of Western culture for centuries, and although they continue to experience pressure in our ever changing world, they will always remain at the center of the life of the people of God.
Many are trying to push the Ten Commandments out of the United States of America…….Many Church’s do not even post them anymore!
Let us as God’s people absorb the Ten Commandments…….Let us study the Ten Commandments……As the writing says above they are simple enough for a child to understand and follow, yet they profoundly govern the deepest desires of the human heart…..Sometimes I really think Man has made a mess of God’s message and has turned into a bunch “Nothing Noise” when the Lord has given us the Bible and the 10 Commandments……..what else do we need?
I also encourage you to get a copy of the Constitution of the United States of America and read it and post it. Many of our leaders do not pay attention to the Constitution. I don’t think many of our leaders call our Country, The United States of America anymore? Do they?
Food for thought……………..
Take action today……..read and pray over the Ten Commandments
Over the Thanksgiving weekend get yourself a copy of the United States of America Constitution
Let us as God’s people get back to the basics!
This can only happen when our focus is not on ourselves…………………
In this busy, fast-paced, high tech, schedule-driven world, we can lose our focus very easily. In other words, the lens can be very blurred.
But not Sams………..
Dearest Dewey,
Today was another wonderful day the Lord has made. I was so touched today by our Lord, I want to share it with you. I had forgotten to fill my prescription in the nearest small town close to me,and I found out it is closed on week-ends, so I had to travel to the main hospital to fill it. When I arrived, there were about fifty people in line. I’ve never seen so many people in a line before. But I went up to the ‘Order’ window that only had two people. And they told me there, that I would have to wait at least an hour before it would be ready. So in about 65 min’s. I got into the long line thinking my name would pop up once I did get to the beginning of it. And it did after about twenty minutes and half way to the end of the line. And finally, there I was only three more people to go, with at least another fifty behind me, When out of the corner of my eye, I saw a very elderly man coming down the hall to get into line, it took him a minute to do, very slow, unsecured steps. The Lord put it on my heart to go to him, and give him my place in line. When I walked him back up to get in my place, it was time for him to go straight up for his medicine. But Dewey, on my way back to the end of the line, EVERYONE was making the comment of “how very sweet of you” and “Aww’s” were coming from everywhere, Plus, no one was upset anymore with the long wait, people actually started talking to each other and me. It was wonderful. I was so full of the Love of our Savior. He filled me with such peace and love I am still just beaming. He knew Every Heart of Every Person that was in that line today. He Knew that just one jester would touch Every One of them, and boy did it!! When the Lord speaks to us, if we listen and do what He puts on our hearts, Not just us are rewarded, But everyone that witnesses it. I don’t have a clue what those people needed today. But God Did. And apparently they just needed to witness a little love and respect for our fellow man. This little elderly fellow was dressed in baggy sweat pants, and shuffled his feet like it were his last steps. He beamed to me, and that was enough for me to return to the end of the line I had just worked my way through. His thankfulness was reward enough, but NO, our Lord Blessed each and Every person there, Not just me. PRAISE GOD!! just wanted to share a moment of my day with you. Love, sam
Thank you Sam……..That is a wonderful Thanksgiving story…….giving of yourself……the simple things in life…….not putting yourself first………
Let us pray…………..

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
