We had 48 in church Sunday, praise the Lord. Maybe it will continue to grow. Pray with us that more will show up and hear the Word of God. We also had a memorial service last week for one of the ladies in the park and God has used that to draw people to church. Again, praise the Lord.
We begin a Bible study Thursday so pray we have a good turn out and for me to lead and not preach. We are studying the book of Philippians, the Joy of our life.
“Artist At Work”—on Your Life by Adrian Rogers
“Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” - Philippians 1:6
In Scotland some men were sitting around drinking tea and swapping fishing stories. One man, with a flamboyant gesture of his hand, knocked another man’s hand, splattering his tea on the white plastered wall, creating an ugly brown stain. He was horrified, but the man said, “Never mind.” And he took out his crayons and started to sketch around that stain. Suddenly there emerged a royal stag with his antlers spread.
The artist was Sir Edwin Lancier—England’s foremost painter of animals. He was able to take that old stain and make something beautiful out of it.
Jesus Christ is that kind of an artist. He can take a life that has been stained, and by His transforming power He can make something beautiful out of it.
We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial. When I am down, we receive one of the above from one of you and God reminds me He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
