The Priestly Blessing The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:   “‘“The Lord bless you      and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you      and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you      and give you peace.”’   “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

He has the Whole World in His Hand

-
God Has you in His hand 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good...

Wisdom Calls

God is Love Wisdom’s Call Proverbs  8   Does not wisdom call out?      Does not understanding raise her voice? 2  At the highest point along the way,      where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3  beside the gate leading into the city,      at the entrance, she cries aloud: 4  “To you, O people, I call out;      I raise my voice to all mankind. 5  You who are simple, gain prudence;      you who are foolish, set your hearts on it. 6  Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;      I open my lips to speak what is right. 7  My mouth speaks what is true,      for my lips detest wickedness. 8  All the words of my mouth are just;      none of them is crooked or perverse. 9  To the discerning all of them are right;      they are up...

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?

Jesus Christ came into the world t o save you from all your sinners. It does not have anything to do with being good. Jesus is a gift from God to All people here on earth. 1 Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” (Saint Paul speaking) Jesus Christ came into the world to call sinners to repentance. Mark 2:17, “When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and save the lost. Luke 19:10, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Jesus came into the world to demonstrate the true purpose of life and give Himself a ransom. Matthew 20:28, “Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” Jesus Christ ...

Instructions for Christian Living

Ephesians 4:25; 5:2NIV  25  Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.   26  “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,   27  and do not give the devil a foothold.   28  Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. 29  Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.   30  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.   31  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.   32  Be kind and compassionate to one another,...

Light of the World

...Matthew 5: 14-16. In the passages, Jesus teaches “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.“  How often do you feel like you are the “light of the world”? This earthly life can be full of nothing but pain and tragedy if you let it. Our own human weaknesses leads us down all kinds of paths that bring nothing but mental, physical, and spiritual pain. Over and over again, we fall prey to thoughts of inadequacy, self hatred, shame, and loneliness to name just a few. I can speak knowledgeably about that having felt those emotions before, but take heart! There is a life worth living and loving meant for you…if you let it. Jesus is calling us to “let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good wor...

Colorado Fires 'Like Armageddon' By Trevor Freeze http://www.billygraham.org/articlepage.asp?articleid=8793 Chaplains Encourage Those Struggling With Fire Fallout July 10, 2012 - Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes, there is no finality to a wildfire.

But after deploying to the Waldo Canyon Fire near Colorado Springs, Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains are wondering — out loud — whether or not a fire is the hardest to deal with. "Fire to me is by far the scariest," said chaplain Kate Poll. "In a hurricane, you know when it's coming; you know when it's done. ...

EIGHT DAYS OF PRAYERS

-
by the National Council of the Churches of Christ   The themes of the eight days There is a journey of faith that can be discerned in the themes of the eight days. From its first beginnings in the upper room, the early Christian community experiences the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, enabling it to grow in faith and unity, in prayer and in action, so that it truly becomes a community of the Resurrection, united with Christ in his victory over all that divides us from each other and from him. The church in Jerusalem then itself becomes a beacon of hope, a foretaste of the heavenly Jerusalem, called to reconcile not just our churches but all peoples. This journey is guided by the Holy Spirit, who brings the early Christians to the knowledge of the truth about Jesus Christ, and who fills the early Church with signs and wonders, to the amazement of many. As they continue their journey, the Christians of Jerusalem gather with devotion to listen to the Word of God set forth in the apo...

John 17:6-26 New International Version (NIV)  Jesus Prays for His Disciples  "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture ...
