HOW TO LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY

Want to learn what Jesus taught about Morality? See my Sunday morning sermon outline today on the front page of our church website. TLBC

====================================================

HOW TO LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY

A guy was in a supermarket when he noticed an old lady following him around. Whenever he stopped, she stopped, and she also kept staring at him. She finally overtook him just before the checkout where she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel uncomfortable - it's just that you look so much like my late son."

"Oh, that's ok," he said.

"I know it's silly," she continued, "but if you called out 'Goodbye, Mother' as I leave, it would make me ever so happy."

The old lady proceeded through the checkout and as she left the supermarket, the man called out "Goodbye Mother." The old lady waved back, and kindly smiled.

Pleased he had brought a bit of sunshine to someone's day, the man went to pay for his groceries.

"That'll be 105 dollars," said the clerk.

"How come?" inquired the man. "I've only bought a few things!"

"Yeah, but your mother said you'd pay for hers.

Hope you had a good 4th of July

I hope you all had a bang up fourth of July and everyone made in home OK, safe and sound. Marion and I planned to use our free passes to ride down to the waterfront and watch the fireworks from there but there were so many fine displays going on in the neighborhood we decided to just stay home and enjoy it from here. We REALLY like sitting out on the porch swing in the cool of the evening anyway.

Enjoyed good services in TLBC again today. My sermon was on "Christ's Teaching on Murder" and the outline is on the front page of our TLBC website. Marion is still recovering from a bad bout with infection in her lungs after the root canal a couple of weeks ago. She was in the hospital for a couple of days over it. I take her into the doctor tomorrow for a follow up visit. She had not been drinking her Body Balance faithfully like she should.

I am still very happy with the good health the Lord has blessed me with since I started taking Body Balance back in June of 03. Until then I caught a cold or the flu almost every month or two but now I have only had ONE cold since June of 03. I can't tell you what a blessing that is in my life. If you would like to try a free sample of Body Balance go to this link Click Here and if you agree to do the autoship for two quarts per month (you may cancel any time after the first quart arrives) and pay for the shipping of the first quart, I will see to it that Life Force gives you the first quart of Body Balance at no charge (about a 30.00 value). Please, for your own good health's sake, give this a try. You will love what it does for you I am sure.

Last Friday night Marion and I took my 83 year old mother and our 14 year old granddaughter up to the Mariners game at Safeco Field in Seattle. Even though the home team lost to the Detroit Tigers we all had a wonderful time. We rode to and from the game in a LIMO. It was great. I think I am going to really like retirement. :)

I DID it!

Greetings in the name of the Lord,

Good day in church today. I preached on "True Christianity vs False Worship" and had liberty. A copy of the sermon will be coming out on DVD soon. In the mean time you can study the sermon outline on our church web site here: TLBC .

Well, I went in to work last Thursday and fired my boss. I am now officially retired from Pierce Transit. What a great feeling. Ordinarily I would be going in to work again next time at 6PM tomorrow but, he he, now I NEVER have to go in again and I don't even have to CALL in if I'm not going to be there. Ye Haw! They had cake and ice cream for me in the lunch room, gave me a plaque and a couple of life time free bus passes and I turned in my keys, badge, cell phone, parking permit and walked off the property. I had already cleaned out my locker and removed my tool boxes the night before. What a nice birthday present to give myself. Friday evening we had a nice little get together over at Round Table Pizza and I celebrated with some close friends and family. A couple of my former crew members who were already retired came too and we had a great time.

After the dust settles from the 4th of July celebrations Marion and I will probably take off for a few days and go to the ocean.

Well there is a lot more that I could say about the events of this week but I want to keep this short. Lord bless you. Keep me in mind if you ever want to get some top of the line liquid nutritional health products. I'd be happy to get some to you and if you ever want to get started in an online home biz, let me know and I can help with that too.

Best Day of my Life

Hello everyone.

Happy Lords day again.

My sermon today at TLBC was on the Ministry of Shining. See the outline on our TLBC page. Tomorrow is the begining of my last week at work on the JOB at Pierce Transit. I'll turn 62 on Thursday the 29th and my birthday present to me is to let that be my last day at work. Friday, Marion is having a little get together for me over at the Round Table Pizza place. Should be fun. Have you ever tried to figure out what was the best day of your life? For some of us it is a hard choice.

I got this link from a friend the other day and thought I'd pass it on to you.

The Best Day of my Life

Lord Bless,
Larry

Had a Great Fathers Day

Greetings again. It was a nice Fathers Day but my daughters and their families were not in church. My sermon in church was on "The Ministry of Salting." Click on TLBC over on the right to see the outline.

I'm a little late in getting my Sunday update logged on here, I know, but I was not able to log on any earlier. Sorry. Attendance was low today at church. We are a small group anyway and when some are out sick it is really noticable. When I retire from my secular job at the end of this month I hope to be able to get out in the neighborhood and make some more visits and invite more folks to church. I'm sure we will see an increase in attendance when I can make that happen.

One of my latest Lead programs has been a dissapointment. Leadpromail is not sending my leads, not sending my commissions and not responding to my support questions. Several others have noticed this poor customer service and we have started our own program similar to Leadpromail but it will be much better in the support and customer services area. If you know anything at all about MLM you know that timing is very important. Now is the perfect time to join our new Leads program. Here is the link: Leads4x10

While you are at it, and if you are still in the mood, I'd like to invite to to join another Lead program that is just getting ready to start too. It has not even been launched yet and I have joined it and am going to promote it side by side with Leads4x10 and see how they performa against each other.

The link for this one is: BeOnTop

You can sign up for free for now and buy the lead packs later when the program is officially launched. Again, both of these programs have the potential for being some nice extra income not only from the leads that you can use in promoting your products and services to but also from the affiliate programs in the lead programs themselves. Sweet.

Why Dogs Don't Live Longer Than People......

Beautiful day here in Tacoma. We had a good number out for the services at TLBC. My sermon outline is posted on the front page of our church web site.

Received a neat little thing the other day by a vet about a touching dog story.

Enjoy...


Why Dogs Don't Live Longer Than People......

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a
ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners,
Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very
attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told
the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered
to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it
would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the
procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something
from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's
family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old
dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what
was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully
away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition
without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering
aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than
human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up,

"I know why."

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth
next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a
good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice,
right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know
how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Leave the rest to God.

Retired Preacher

Good day in church. I preached on "Blessed Are The Persecuted". The sermon outline is here: Sermon Outline

Need to get a Quarterly report ready to send out to friends. Will try and remember to post it here when I get it ready. Looking forward to retiring from my secular job at the end of this month. Will continue to work my online home biz after I retire from Pierce Transit. My personal web site tells how I got started with my online home biz. Personal Web Site

I was thinking also of maybe doing a little grass cutting here and there in my spare time too but might change my mind after reading this little story.

Retired Preacher

A preacher retires and moves to the country to enjoy life and practice his
hobby of yardwork. Needing a lawn mower, he heads into town to buy one. On
the way he sees a sign advertising a lawn mower for sale. He stops at the
house and a young lad comes out to greet him.

The preacher asks about the lawn mower and the kid says it’s behind the
house. The two go to look at the lawn mower. The engine is sputtering along
at idle speed. The preacher increases the speed of the engine and mows a few
strips. Satisfied that the mower will do the job, they settle on a price of
$25.

Later in the day, the young lad is riding his bicycle when he spies the
preacher pulling on the engine starter rope. The kid stops and watches for a
couple of minutes. He asks, What’s wrong?

The preacher replies, I can’t get this mower started. Do you know how?

The kid says, Yep.

Well, how do you do it?” the preacher yells. Tell me!

The kid replies, You have to curse it. The preacher rises up indignantly.
Now you listen here, he says. I am a preacher, and if I ever did curse,
I’ve forgotten how to do it after all these years. With a wise look well
beyond his years, the kid says, Preacher, you keep on pulling that rope and
it’ll all come back to you.

Memorial Day 06

Very low attendance in church today. Pray for us. See our church web site. The Lords Baptist Church.

We had another nice answer to prayer this week. Brother Skip's kidneys started working and they released him from the hospital. Keep praying about the blockage that he has on his heart.

I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.


A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..


I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.


I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?


How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.


I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"


When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.


I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.

I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea


Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.

==============================================
Good day in church again today. I preached on the 6th beatitude.
See sermon outline HERE.

Held funeral service this week for John Wilson. Pray for brother Skip in St. Joseph Hospital. Chest pain, kidney failure and diabetes.

I had to turn down two opportunities to preach at Bible Conferences next week end. Pray for the meetings in Ontario, CA and Davenport, WA. A lot of our folks will be out of town next week end. Pray for us in Tacoma that we might continue to lift up Christ in a faithful and steadfast way to His honor and glory.

I have another meeting with my financial advisor this week to help me organize things for when I retire from my secular job at Pierce Transit at the end of next month. Then I will have more time for the work of the ministry, building my
home biz and doing the things on Marion's Honey Dew list.

Moms

What a beautiful day here in Tacoma today. Good sevices at TLBC. Take a look at our church web site at the TLBC link over on the right.

Here is a note for all the mothers out there:

This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in
their arms, wiping up vomit laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's okay honey, Mommy's here"

Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies who can't be comforted. This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.

For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew uniforms and costumes and attend all the school, club, scout and team meetings, practices and cermonies.

This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.

This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections are hanging on
their refrigerator doors. And for those cheer mothers whose daughter's happiness comes one unfallen stunt and one unbusted standing tuck at a time.

And for all the mothers who froze their buns on metal bleachers at
football or soccer games (or skating rinks) instead of watching
from the warmth of their cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see me, Mom?" they could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it.

This is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and
explained all about making babies. And for all the (grand) mothers who wanted to, but just couldn't find the words.

This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat.

For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year.
And then read it again. "Just one more time."

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their
shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.

This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their
daughters to sink a jump shot.

This is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own children are at home -- or even away at college.

This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach
aches, assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up. Right away.

This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the words to reach them.

For all the mothers who bite their lips until they bleed when their 14 year olds dye their hair green.

For all the mothers of the victims of recent school shootings, and the
mothers of those who did the shooting.

For the mothers of the survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from school, safely.

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful,
and now pray they come home safely from a war.

What makes a good Mother anyway?

Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips? The ability to nurse a baby,
cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time?

Or is it in her heart? Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son
or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?

The jolt that takes you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 A.M. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?

The panic, years later, that come s again at 2 A.M. when you just want to hear their key in the door and know they are safe again in your home?

Or the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?

The emotions of motherhood are universal and so our thoughts are for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation...

And mature mothers learning to let go.

For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.

Single mothers and married mothers..

Mothers with money, mothers without.

This is for you all.

Hang in there. In the end we can only do the best we can. Tell them
every day that we love them. And pray.

Please pass along to all the Moms in your life.

"Home is what catches you when you fall - and we all fall."

Please pass this to a wonderful mother you know.

(I did)

Happy Mother's Day.

Why the heavy load?

It was GREAT to be back in church today. I preached on "Happy are the Hungry and Thirsty." See TLBC page for the outline. Now for today's little story.

=======================================

Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. "Great", she thought. "Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry."

She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth."

She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me."

Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?"

Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!

The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, "Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You."

I think it would do all of us some good to say, "God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will."

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.


Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him....I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)

Whoie !

Oh boy, what a week end. Marion and I had planned to drive over to Yakima and visit a dear elderly church member in an assisted living facility there but I was hit suddenly Saturday by a terrible stomach flu. I'm sure that is what it was. I know I've been burning the candle at both ends here lately but they say there is a bad virus going around. My kids and grandkids had it and I'm sure that's what it was. Actually, I'm still weak, sore, and light headed from it. Anyway we had to cancel our trip and I think for the first time in many many years I did not attend worship services on the Lord's Day although I was able to listen to some CD's at home of sermons preached at a Bible Conference.

We went in last week and filed for our Social Security benefits and should get our first check the third Wednesday of August (direct deposit). We have a meeting scheduled with our financial planner to sort out our other options in retirement. The plan is still a go for saying GOOD-BYE to my secular job on my birthday this June 29th. We are still reviewing data on what to do about health insurance for the next three years while waiting for Medicare to kick in.

In the mean time the online home business is still doing fine. Check out my personal website at The Killion Site. Lifeforce remains our primary biz and I highly recommend that you take advantage of the companies offer of a free quart of their flagship product here Body Balance while it is still being offered.

If you like my personal website and want to do one for yourself, I'd be happy to help you if needed. You can get your own domain name and all the tools you need from GDI. Try it for seven days absolutely free and see what you think.

Two other programs that I use for promoting my online home business are Trafficwave and DirectMatches. They are both also additional streams of income.

Thanks again for stopping by my blog. God bless!

Compare what is out there

My trip to Mt. Morris, Michigan was outstanding. The Bible Conference was great and the church there treated me like royalty.

We had a good number today in our services at TLBC and I continued my series of sermons on the Sermon on the Mount. The outline for my sermon on "Blessed are the Meek" is on the front page of our church website .

If you are trying to get a home business started or are even just thinking about it, go to mlmregistry for info on a lot of the opportunities out there. You can even line companies up side by side to compare them with one another and see which is the best fit for you. I just joined mlmregistry yesterday and I think it is going to be a great tool for helping people get started toward financial freedom. Here is a link for it: mlmregistry.

One of the things that a lot of people in the network marketing industry are seeing today is how important it is to simply establish and build relationships for success. There are all kinds of social networking type of programs that are springing up everywhere. I am in several of them myself. What I like best about DirectMatches is that it PAYS! Take a look at this little demo on how it works DEMO and then got here for a free sign up Free DirectMatches Sign up.

Blessed are they that mourn...

Greetings in the precious name of our Risen Lord. Yes, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ every 1st day of the week. I continued my series of studies today on the greatest sermon ever preached, The Sermon on the Mount. We studied the 2nd beatitude today and the title of my sermon was "Blessed are the Pining." The outline is on the TLBC front page.

I got back home last night about 10:30 PM from my trip to Salinas, California for the Memorial Services for my brother Terry Killion.

http://obit.struveandlaporte.com/obit_display.cgi?id=302609&listing=Current

I'll be leaving in the morning again for my trip to Mt. Morris, Michigan to speak in the Bible Conference there at the Home Baptist Church where Elder Dan Gordon is the Pastor. Lord willing I'll return home again next Friday and back to work on the following Monday but only a short time left and I'll be saying goodbye to my secular job. Praise the Lord! It thrills my heart to think of it.

Pray for the Hunt family. Our dear friend Teri Hunt slipped quietly away to be with the Lord while sleeping the other night. Services will be held this Tuesday. Read the post on prayer posted earlier. I'm sorry I'll be out of town for Teri's memorial.

For smart people and prayer warriors.

We had good services again today in the Lord's House http://www.thelordsbaptistchurch.com
I preached on "Blessed are the Poor". Sermon outline is on the front page of our church web site. It was good to have first time visitors Martin and Simeon in our services.

We are praying for brother Skip (diabetes) and for sister Maxine (in nursing home recovering from a fall that broke her ankle.) Also, I'll be traveling down to Salinas, California this week to attend the Memorial services for my brother, Terry Killion. He leaves a wife and two little girls. Pray for them and for travel mercies for all who will be traveling for the services there.

Anyway.


I received a nice little study on prayer the other day from one of my old Bible College teachers who is now Pastor of a church in Ohio. I thought I'd post it here for your study. I'll comment in a moment.



Prayer: In What, For What, and To Whom?
By Pastor Ronnie Wolfe – March 31, 2006


"15 October 2003 The MANTRA study, run from Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina, involved 750 patients. Before their operations, they were randomly split into two groups, and half were prayed for by Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Muslims. However, checks revealed they had fared no better than those not prayed for." [BBC]

Isn't this interesting? These folks at Duke University Medical Center think they know how to determine whether prayer is answered–that is just too interesting! However, they have made some very serious mistakes in their estimations.

Notice just a few quick thoughts: first, they surmise that the prayers of Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Muslims are all the same kind of prayers. This is miles from the truth of the matter. Secondly, they assume that all so-called Christians pray alike and believe the same thing about prayer. This is also very far from the real truth. Thirdly, they think that the results of prayer can be measured by scientific means, which is far removed from actual Biblical truth. Let's notice three things about prayer that come into my mind with just a cursory look at this subject.

First, prayer in what? These geniuses of spiritual knowledge seem to know so much about prayer, so let's ask them in what they pray? Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered We must ask by the leadership of the Holy Spirit, and he must help our infirmities.

Second, prayer for what? The Bible says in James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. There are so many stipulations to prayer, how can these carnal-minded professionals know anything about it? We may ask that God will do a particular thing, but those who truly pray do so with the idea that that particular thing may not be God's will. That is why we pray, "if the Lord will ..." We may pray for someone to be kept alive or to be healed of a disease, and it may not bring glory to God for that person to be healed. If that were so, then we could pray every time someone were ready to die, and that person would never die. We must consider God's purpose in our lives, especially in our prayer lives. So, how can these professionals measure the effectiveness of our prayer? They cannot! They think that if we pray that God will spare and person he the person dies that God has not answered our prayers. This is the epitome of ignorance. This must be that "science falsely so-called" that Paul tells Timothy about in 1 Timothy 6:20.

Third, prayer to whom? The Bible teaches us that we are to pray in Jesus' name: John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. No one who asks or prays in any other name than the name of Jesus can expect prayer to be answered; he has missed the mark, so this eliminates most of the people engaged in the prayers in this survey done by Duke University. You cannot pray in your own name or in the name of Buddha or Mohammad or even in the name of Jehovah God; it must be in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. He is the only mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

So, don't be alarmed by these "scientific" reports. They may be scientific according to human standards, but they are not very spiritual by God's standards, and these reports do show the world's ignorance of God's divine plan and purpose in our lives and the true faith of believers in Jesus Christ. Just keep praying, and God will keep answering in his own way. Thank God for answered prayer!

So true brother Wolfe. We see many many answers to our prayers at TLBC. Some of them are documented on the prayer page of our church web site. Click on the TLBC link in the column on the right and go to the Prayer Request link.


One that is fresh in my memory is with sister Teri Hunt. I received a call from her Pastor a couple of weeks ago saying that she was in the hospital intensive care unit and the Doctors said there was nothing more they could do for her and only gave her a short time to live. She had cancer at an earlier age and the treatments had caused damage to her heart. Two of her heart valves were leaking.

We began to pray. We asked God to spare her if He would or give grace to her family and loved ones if He should take her home. (I actually got a sympahy card in anticipation of her death) Unsaved friends and family began to come to console the family. Well, Teri started gaining strength. The medical staff were baffeled at her improvement. Her unsaved friends were also amazed and said, "It is a miracle, KEEP PRAYING!"

Teri continued to improve but her heart was not in rythem. They tried to shock it back into rythem but it did not take. We continued to pray. (I decided a Get Well card might be more appropriate) Teri's husband Jim was at her bed side and was reading scripture to her. The passage that he was reading was Psalm 31. When he got to the last verse of the Psalm (verse 24) Teri stopped him and said, "Read that verse again."

"Be of good courage and He shall strenghten your heart all ye that hope in the Lord."

As Teri and Jim thought about that verse, the nurse came rushing in from the nurses station and said, "Something has happened! Your heart is back in rythem!" On further examination the Doctor confirmed that something had happened indeed. They decided to install a pacemaker and that went well. Teri has now been released from the hospital and when she gains a little more weight they are planning to do valve replacement surgery. To me, this is an amazing and wonderful answer to prayer. I do not care what the unbelieving so-called-scientists say. God does indeed answer prayer and I PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME for it. Amen and Amen!

Little Old Lady

There was a little old lady who was very spiritual and would step out
on her porch every day, raise her arms to the sky and say
"Praise the Lord."

One day, an atheist bought the house next door to her, and he became
very irritated with the spiritual lady.. So after a month or so of her
yelling, "Praise the Lord" from her porch, he went outside on his porch
and yelled back, "There is no Lord."

Yet, the little old lady continued.

One cold, wintry day, when the little old lady couldn't get to the
store, she went out on her porch, raised her hand s up to the sky and
said, "Help me Lord, I have no more money, it's cold, and I have no more
food."

The next morning, she went outside, and there were
three bags of food on the porch, enough to last her a week.
"Praise the Lord," she yelled.


The Atheist stepped out from the bushes and said,
"There is no Lord hahaha, I bought those groceries!"

(hold on...the ending is pretty good!)
.

The little old lady raised her arms to the sky and said, "Praise the
Lord, you sent me groceries and you made the Devil pay for them!"

Patrick the Baptist?

Well, there was a lot of news about the celebration of St Patrick's Day and I found a very interesting article about the old boy. It brings out a lot of things that most folks don't know. Larry (the Baptist)

================================

St. Patrick A Baptist!

by Dr. L. K. Landis

For centuries Roman Catholicism has laid claim to the supposition that Patrick of Ireland was a Roman priest. However, over 100 hundred years ago W. A. Jarrel, much respected author and church historian, put into print what had been known by Baptists since the very beginning, that Patrick was not a Catholic priest, but rather a Baptist missionary. It is because of this much neglected fact that we put into print this material so that this present generation may know the truth and great heritage of this early Baptist missionary to Ireland. So zealous were these historians of the 1800's and so spirited was their conviction to this that one wrote, "Rome's most audacious theft was when she seized bodily the Apostle Peter and made him the putative head and founder of her system; but next to that brazen act stands her effrontery when she 'annexed' the great missionary preacher of Ireland and enrolled him among her saints" (A Short History of the Baptists [1907], Henry C. Vedder, pg. 71-72).

Most church historians agree that Patrick, originally named Succat (or Succathus) Patricus, was born sometime between the years 360 AD and 387 AD, probably near what is now Dumbarton, Scotland. It is also generally accepted by those knowledgable of the subject that he lived to a well advanced age, some placing him at over 100 years old at the time of his death.

Cathcart, the dean among Baptist apologists, suggests that Patrick is not his name, but rather a title of honor meaning noble and illustrous and was bestowed upon him by his grateful admirers (The Baptist Encyclopedia [1881], by William Cathcart, pg. 886). His writings reveal that his father, Calpurnius, was a deacon in a Baptist church (we know that there were Baptist churches on the British Isle as far back as A.D. 63, History of the Welch Baptists [1770], by J. Davis, Page 14), having apparently been converted to Christ while on a business trip to Rome as he also served as a Roman civil officer. In spite of being reared in a godly home and taught the ways of the Scriptures, Cathcart also states that the young Patrick was "...wild and wicked until his sixteenth year..." when, while working on his father's farm, he and several others were seized and carried away captive by a band of pirates to Ireland, where he was sold into slavery to a petty Irish clan chieftan. For over five years he suffered the atrocities of slavery. Later, however, he would recount that it was during this most dark period of his life that he, himself, was converted to Christ remembering the Christian training he had received from his godly father while but a child.

Regarding this, W. A. Jarrel wrote over one hundred years ago, "...the truth which saved him when a youthful slave in pagan Ireland was taught him in the godly home of...his father" (Baptist Church Perpetuity or History [1894], W. A Jarrel, pg. 472).

Historians also record that "...upon his twenty-first year, he escaped the chains of servitude..." and returned to his father's home in Scotland, only to find that he had died and his land acquired by others. It was during this time that Patrick, "being a stronger Christian, the Lord soon called him back to Ireland as the missionary for that blinded country" (Ibid.). Jarrel further suggests that the more one studies the life, ministry and writings of this Irish "apostle", "...the more he stands out as a Baptist." He, Jarrel, is perhaps among the greatest authorities on the subject of Saint Patrick, as one full chapter of his makes several suggestions as to why Patrick could not have been a Roman Catholic priest:

1. "At the time of Saint Patrick the Romish church was only en embryo".

2. "In St. Patrick's time the authority of the bishop of Rome was not generally recognized."

3. "There is no history to sustain the Romish claim that Patrick was sent to Ireland by Pope Celistine." Not one of the early biographers of his life mentions any ties to Rome. Even in all the writings of Saint Patrick himself there is never any mention of connection with Rome.

Neander, the church historian, wrote, "If Patrick came to Ireland as a deputy from Rome, it might naturally be expected that in the Irish church a certain sense of dependence would always have been preserved towards the mother church. But we find, on the contrary, in the Irish church a spirit of church freedom, similar to that in Britain, which struggled against the yoke of Roman ordinances. We find subsequently among the Irish a much greater agreement with the ancient British than with Roman ecclesiastical usages.

This goes to prove that the origin of the church was independent of Rome, and must be traced solely to the people of Britain... Again, no indication of his connection with the Romish church is to be found in his confesssion; rather everything seems to favor the supposition that he was ordained bishop in Britain itself" (Neander's History of the Christian Church, Volume 2, page 123).

Another Irish scholar says, "...Leo II, was bishop of Rome from 440 to 461 A.D. and upwards of one hundred and forty of his letters to correspondents in all parts of Christendom still remain and yet he never mentions Patrick or his work, or in any way intimates that he knew of the great work being done there."

Professor George T. Stokes, still yet another prominent scholar, declares that prior to the synod of Rathbresail in A.D. 1112, the rule of each Irish church was independent, autonomous, and "...dioceses and diocesan episcopacy had no existence at all."

Considering these indisputable and undeniable facts, it is impossible for Patrick to have been the patron Roman Catholic saint of Ireland. The material is just not there to substantiate any such claim. Baptist pastor, author and historian Gillham says that in the middle of the nineteenth century, Baptists universally accepted the fact that Patrick of Ireland was of apostolic tradition and therefore a Baptist. It was also commonly accepted that the baptism of the heirs to his ministry were also investigated and found to be New Testament in origin. It was only during these last 150 years that Baptists have been willing to relinquish Patrick to the hands of the papacy.

However, the insurmountable evidence of his position among the Baptists of antiquity comes from the writings of this great man himself. While several letters written by Patrick and sent to Christians converted to Christ under his ministry still exist, most of what we know of his beliefs are taken from two documents that he wrote: St. Patrick's Confession, or Epistle to the Irish; and an "Epistle to Coroticus." In these two writings that still survive, it becomes very apparent that this great preacher was not of Roman Catholic persuasion. He was a Baptist through and through, holding recognized Baptist positions on all the cardinal doctrines. Consider these eight (8) conclusive reasons why Saint Patrick was a Baptist!

Number One: St. Patrick Baptized Only Professed Believers

Contrary to Catholic dogma, which teaches that infants are to be "baptized", in all of Patrick's writings he does not mention one single incident when he baptized an infant, much less someone who had not professed Christ as their Saviour. Patrick records the baptism of one convert named Enda the night after his infant son, Cormac, was born. What an ideal opportunity to record the baptism of an infant, and yet Patrick makes no mention of it at all.

Only Enda, a professed believer; not his infant son who could make no claim of Christ. In all of his writings, the great Irish preacher never mentions or even alludes to pedobaptism (the baptism of infants). In fact, each time he refers to baptism at all he calls those ready for the ordinance of baptism "baptized captives", "baptized handmaidens of Christ", "baptized women distributed as rewards", "baptized believers", "men" and "women." In one place, Patrick wrote, "Perhaps, since I have baptized so many thousand men, I might have expected half a screpall [a coin worth six cents] from some of them..." Notice that he refers to having baptized "...so many thousand men..", no infants, but men; adult, professing, believing, responsible men. Another place he writes, "So that even after my death I may leave as legacies to my brethren...whom I have baptized in the Lord, so many thousand men." Again he acknowledges the fact that he has baptized thousands of men, but not one infant.

Number Two: St. Patrick Baptized By Immersion Only

This has been a leading principle among the Baptists since the days of the Apostles and still is today. Again, in all of his writings there is not one shred of evidence that the Irish preacher knew anything of sprinkling. All of the records of his baptisms tell of immersion. Cathcart (along with Nennius, Todd, O'Farrell and other church historians) records one such instance, "When the saint entered Tirawly, the seven sons of Amalgaidh assembled with their followers. Profiting by the presence of so vast a multitude, the apostle entered into the midst of them, his soul inflamed with the love of God, and with a celestial courage preached the truths of Christianity; and so powerful was the effect of his burning words that the seven princes and over twelve thousand more were converted on that day, and were soon baptized in a spring called Tobar Enadhaire" (The Baptist Encyclopedia [1881], by William Cathcart, page 887). Dr. Cathcart further states, "There is absolutely no evidence that any baptism but that of immersion of adult believers existed among the ancient Britons, in the first half of the fifth century, nor for a long time afterwards."

In 1631 the English Baptists discovered, and subsequently corresponded with, small communities of Baptists in Ireland and found them to be sound. These churches, located in Dublin, Waterford, Clonmel, Kilkenny, Cork, Limerick, Galloway, Wexford, Carrick Fergus and Kerry are listed in Joseph Ivimey's comprehensive History of the English Baptists [1811], Volume 1, Pages 240-241. It is believed that some of these churches had histories dating to the time of Patrick. Many of them can substantiate and confirm their claims of such for nearly 1100 years, which places them within two hundred years of Patrick.

Number Three: In Church Government,

St. Patrick Was A Baptist During his ministry, Patrick is recorded to have "founded 365 churches and consecrated the same number of bishops, and ordained 3,000 presbyters (Ancient British and Irish Churches, William Cathcart, page 282). Anglican Bishop Stillingfleet refers to an account of a great council of Brevy, Wales at which there were 118 Irish bishops. Noting that if these were Catholic bishops this little island was in danger of "...going to seed --- in bishops." Other historians concede that "...Saint Patrick placed a bishop in every church which he founded; and several presbyters after the example of the New Testament churches." One such scholar, a Dr. Carew of Maynooth, admits that a bishop "...was simply the pastor of one congregation." The Catholic and protestant idea of a bishop being the head over several churches in different cities was totally unknown among those early churches on the British Isles. This can be confirmed from writings of Irish clergymen dated from A.D. 1112 and reconfirmed from the same in A.D. 1057.

Number Four: Patrick Was A Baptist In Independence From Creeds, Councils, Popes, etc.

Patrick never attended one council and recognized no authority over him, save that of the Lord Jesus Himself. There is not any evidence whatsoever that even remotely suggests that the famed Irish preacher acknowledged any man to be of superior authority, power or position than he. He recognized no Pope. He recognized no Cardinal. In all of his writings it cannot be found where one time he subscribes to even the most insignificant and remote catechism, creed, or dogma of the Roman Catholic system. Of all the great Christians that Patrick refers to in his letters, he never pays homage to any Pope, nor mentions any man as being superior in church clergy. Instead, the great Irish missionary speaks of his love, regards, and terms of affection for those men whom had been ordained as pastors of the churches he founded. Upon the authority of the little Baptist church in Scotland where he was saved and from which he received his commission much as did Paul and Barnabus (Acts 15:22).

Number Five: In Doctrine

Patrick Was A Baptist In all of his writings, all of the doctrine that Patrick espouses adherence to is consistent with historic Baptist doctrine. The venerable preacher wrote, "It is Christ who gave His life for thee (and) is He who speaks to thee. He has poured out upon us abundantly the Holy Spirit, the gift and assurance of immortality, who causes men to believe and become obedient that they might be the sons of God and joint heirs with Christ." In this one statement, Patrick alludes to six (6) major Baptist doctrines:

a. Patrick believed in the substitutionary atonement of Christ. He did not believe that salvation comes through catechism, communion, confession or christening. He believes what Baptists have always believed, that all are saved by the Grace of God, through faith in His Son, coming in repentance, and by His blood. William Cathcart wrote, "There is no ground for doubting but that he preached the gospel of repentance and faith in Ireland, and that his ministrations were attended by overwhelming success" (The Baptist Encyclopedia, page 887).

b. He believes in the free gift of the Holy Spirit which comes to the believer at the moment of salvation. He does not believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is a separate work of grace, nor is He manifested by speaking in tongues (John 14:16).

c. He also firmly conveys the message of the eternal security of the believer in that those who are genuinely saved have put on immortality (II Timothy 1:10).

d. He confirms his belief that men must be drawn by God in order to be saved (John 6:44).

e. Patrick affirms his conviction in the sonship of the believer (John 1:12). He believes that while Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, every true believer in Christ is also a son.

f. And the great Irish theologian attests to the fact that all believers are joint-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17). Patrick's doctrine is also recorded by his disciples. Comgall writes, "religion does not exist in bodily efforts..." Muirchu states that the ancient poet Dubthac was redeemed under the ministry of Patrick and that he "...first on that day believed in God and it was imputed to him for righteousness" No mention of baptism for salvation. No mention of a confessional. No mention of communion. Patrick taught his disciples well that salvation comes only by and through the grace of Almighty God.

Number Six: In Terms Of The Lord's Supper, Patrick Was A Baptist.

From his writings we know that he rejected the Roman Catholic view of salvation in the ordinance. Also from his writings, we know that Patrick believed that the believer himself should partake of both elements of communion, the bread and the cup, and not just the administrator exclusively. In writing of the conversion of the two daughters of Irish King Loeghaire under his ministry, Patrick tells them to put away their idols and trust Christ alone. His instructions to them regarding the Lord's Supper is that they receive both elements representative of His body and blood.

Number Seven: Patrick Rejects The Roman Catholic Dogma Of Transubstantiation

Patrick believed that the elements were only pictures of Christ's body and Christ's blood. Dr. Jarrell wrote, "In all the descriptions of the Eucharist quoted there is no evidence that it is...", or literally becomes the flesh of Christ and His blood. The elements are merely symbols of such.

Number Eight: Patrick Never Affirmed His Belief In, Or Adherence To, Many Crucial Catholic Pecularities

St. Patrick was a Baptist and the first Irish churches were Baptist churches. He knew nothing of priestly confession and priestly forgiveness. He was not acquainted with extreme unction. He strictly forbade the worship of images. Never once did he instruct his converts that they were to pay homage to Mary or worship her. He never mentions the intercession of Mary or of any departed saint. In all of his writings there is no mention at all of purgatory, of indulgences, of keeping holy days, of praying to anyone but God Himself, of the persecution of opposers of the church, of distinguishing clerical garments, of the rosary, of last rites, of mass, of allegiance to the Pope. None of these crucial Catholic doctrines and dogmas were practiced by or even mentioned by the great missionary to Ireland.

It is my firm conviction that it has sufficiently been shown that Saint Patrick was not a Roman Catholic in doctrine or practice, but rather an early Baptist preacher following in the footsteps of the Apostles themselves, believing what they believed, practicing what they practiced. In conclusion, it seems that the words of W.A. Jarrell on this subject are most fitting, "Were Patrick not turned to dust, and were the body able to hear and turn, he would turn over in his coffin at the disgrace on his memory from the Romish church claiming him as a Roman Catholic" (Baptist Church Perpetuity or History, page 479).


=======================================

Shay, Shay, Shay!

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves
learning disabled children, the father of one of
the students delivered a speech that would
never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated
staff, he offered a question:

"When not interfered with by outside influences,
everything nature does is done with perfection.
Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other
children do. He cannot understand things as other
children do. Where is the natural order
of things in my son?"

The audience was stilled by the query. The father
continued. "I believe that when a child like Shay,
physically and mentally handicapped comes into
the world, an opportunity to realize true
heavenly grace presents itself, and it comes,
in the way other people treat that child."

Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where
some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay
asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's
father knew that most of the boys would not want
someone like Shay on their team, but the father
also understood that if his son were allowed
to play, it would give him a much-needed sense
of belonging and some confidence to
be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the
field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting
much. The boy looked around for guidance and a
few boys nodded approval, why not? So he took
matters into his own hands and said, "We're
losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth
inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll
try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and put
on a team shirt with a broad smile. His Father
had watery eyes but warmth in his heart.
The boys saw the father's joy at his son being
accepted and were evedently touched by it.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team
scored a few runs but was still behind by three.
In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove
and played in the right field. Even though no
hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just
to be in the game and on the field, grinning from
ear to ear as his father waved to him from the
stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning,
Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the
potential winning run was on base and Shay was
scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture,
do they let Shay bat and give away their chance
to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given
the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but
impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to
hold the bat properly, much less connect with
the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the
plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team
had put winning aside for this moment in Shay's
life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball
in softly so Shay could at least be able to make
contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung
clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to
toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch
came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow
ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game
would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the
soft grounder and could have easily thrown the
ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been
out and that would have been the end of the game.


Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over
the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all
team mates. Everyone from the stands and
both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first!
Run to first, Shay!" Never in his life had Shay ever
ran that far but he made it to first base. He
scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!"
Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards
second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second
base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base,
the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on
their team, who had a chance to be the hero
for his team for the first time. He could have thrown
the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he
understood the pitchers intentions and he too
intentionally threw the ball high and far over the
second-baseman's head. Shay ran toward second base
deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the
bases toward home. All were screaming, "Shay, Shay,
Shay, all the Way Shay!"

Shay reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran
to help him and turned him in the direction of third
base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third"
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams
and those watching were on their feet screaming,
"Shay, run home!" Shay ran toward home as hard as he
could. He stepped on the plate, and was cheered as
the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game
for his team.

That day," said the father softly with tears now
rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams
helped bring a piece of true love and divine grace
into this world."

Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that
winter, having never forgotten being the hero and
making his Father so happy and coming home
to see his Mother tearfully embrace her little
hero of the day!

NOW, the question is - What would YOU have done?
We live in a hard cold world. Most people couldn't
care less about the feelings of others.
I have to admit that when I read this story about
Shay I was touched by it and would like to think
that I can be more thoughtful of the feelings of
others as I go about my daily routine life in the
future. How about YOU?

Where are they now

Today I finished a series of sermons on the 12 Apostles.
The last on the list was Mr. Iscariot. Everyone knows
what he is rememberd for. How sad. The sermon outline is
on the front page of our church web site. Click on TLBC over
in the links at the right.

History is full of men and women who held the things of God
in contempt. It only causes me to be all the more thankful
for how the marvelous, amazing grace of God has worked in
my heart and life.

It is written in the Bible

" Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON:
Some years before during his interview with an
American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not
have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was
ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are
more famous than Him" (1966)".
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more
famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES:
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got
500 votes from his party, not even God would remove
him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he
got sick a day before being made President, then he
died.

CAZUZA:
During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst
smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into
the air and said: God, that's for you.

I can't even explain how he died.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked
him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic
tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"

The result: I think you all know what happened to
the Titanic.


MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a
presentation of a show. He is a preacher and
Evangelist and the Spirit of God had sent him to
preach to her.

After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she
said:

"I don't need your Jesus"

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.


BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979
songs he sang:

"Don´t stop me, I´m going down all the way, wow the
highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found
dead, he had been choked by his vomit.


CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, a group of friends, drunk, went to pick
up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car
and was so worried about the drunkenness of her
friends and she said to the daughter - holding her
hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY
DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU",

She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT,
COZ INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL"

Hours later, news came by that they had been
involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the
car could not be recognized what type of car it had
been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact.

The police said there was no way the boot could have
remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot
was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Many more important people have forgotten that there
is no other name that was given so much authority as
the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus
died and rose again, and he is still alive. JESUS!!!

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?" (Mathew 16:26).
