Stress

Stress is bad most of the time, but it helps us know something is affecting us.
How do we handle stress, or does it handle us? How do we reduced stress, or do we only create more stress by our bad choices?
What helps your stress?
Have you tried: prayer, Bible reading, church, friends, a ride, music, aloneness. What works really for us?
Think about it-PASTOR JOE

Thanks

Thanks for caring about this blog. I know some of you faithfully read this blog, and I hate that yesterday I left so early I didn't do a blog. Today is a new day.
Last night we studied a good woman and found that she is:
Protective of those she loves.
A good listener,
Strong to help as needed.
Does what she must to care for her beloved.
Wow!!!
Are we such a person?
Continue to pray for Wanda, who did well, and Betty whose family should hear from the EEG today- God bless us one and all-PASTOR JOE

HOW IS OUR SPIRIT?

One thing I have noticed is that we have a lot of power that comes from our attitude. So, the question must be- How is our spirit?
We choose our attitude. Do we make a wise choice? Please think about what I have said, and realize the truth in it, and let's all work on improving our attitudes-me,too-PASTOR JOE

JESUS THE ONE WHO SUFFERED

Where are our scars? When did we last suffer for Jesus?
Jesus suffered for us, and yet we know nothing about suffering. We are spoiled. Our savuation cost Jesus dearly, yet we want no part of suffering and avoid it.
Thank you Jesus for your love for us- PASTOR JOE

Jesus the source of eternal life

Who is Jesus- as John 14 teaches us-He is the source of eternal life.
John 14

1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Never forget this-PASTOR JOE

Who is Jesus? He can be for us the greatest source of joy. Why? He can give us a reason for hope and peace deep within.
Who is Jesus to you? Is He a source of joy? He could be and should be.
Have a blessed week, and think about Jesus- PASTOR JOE

LIFE IS....

What is life to you? That is a very serious question for sure. What is life? Is it an adventure? Is it a challenge? Is it fun? Is it exciting? Or is it something else?
How one answers that question is ever so important. What is life to you? Think about it, and have a great one-PASTOR JOE

Sunday morning Baptism

It has been way too long since the baptismal pool has gotten wet, but finally a precious young lady-Taylor Riggins has come forward and asked Jesus to be her Savour-glory!!!
She has not missed Sunday School or children's church this year. She has a mother and Dad who cares about her soul, and some real good teachers. She is active in Awanas.
I am so proud of her.
The question comes to mind-who do we need to help come to Jesus? Think about it-PASTOR JOE

David was good,but great?

David was a good man when he was good, but when he was bad he could cheat and have killed.
Why is it that we too have a problem with staying on track? Do we allow other things to be more important than the right things of God?
Let me ask you- are you right with the Lord-all of the time? You may ask am I right with the Lord all of the time? No, I too struggle with being always all I should be, but let's ask God to help us do better for His glory-PASTOR JOE

DID YOU HAVE A NICE WEEKEND?

Did you have a nice weekend? Do you know or were you like millions who got drunk and wasted away a great weekend? God blessed Louise and I as we celebrated 44 years as man and wife-love that girl. Logan's is where we shared food and some memories and laughs. Sunday we were blessed with worship and sharing time with some wonderful friends. It is great to remember it all. Hope you can remember yours.

GOD BLESS THE USA-PLEASE

What we need more than anything else is for GOD TO BLESS THE USA. He would if we would do as this verse teaches:2 Chron.7: 14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Wish we would try it-PASTOR JOE

Friends

Last night we studied More about Friends from 1 Samuel 18. What a blessing. I covered verses 1-11. The main point is- WE CHOOSE TO MAKE A FRIEND, TO BE A FRIEND, TO STAY A FRIEND. We are the better for it, if they are the right kind of friend.
Louise and I are husband and wife and best friends,too.
A thought that blows my mind is WE CAN BE A FRIEND OF GOD-WOW!!! THINK ABOUT THAT TODAY. Are we a friend of God? Why not? Have a save 4th-PASTOR JOE
