tonight we invite you to joy
a joy that...
the world can not take away.
a joy that is deeper than all the disappointment
you can ever feel.
a cushion for the dwon times
we invite you to peace
The peace that comes from being forgiven,
from breaking the power of sin over our lives.
from knowing we are in harmony with the Creator of everything.
A peace thtat cannot be understood by mere logic..
a peace won for us by Jesus when he gave us
his innocence on the cross.
we invite you to love
love of God and brothers and sisters
A love that God had for you before the world began.
we invite you to rest
rest from your labors
from you striving
rest from your pressur to perform
rest from trying to be good enough to please God
or please those around you.
we invite you to power.
to do right and turn from wrong
we invite you to start on a road that will
lead you to heaven.
We invite you to deeper and stronger fatih
Jesus says that even a faith as small as a mustard seed can grow and make amazing things happen.
We invite you take a step on the road to faith, on the road to following the way of Christ
God--Just as an and will never understand the Internet, finite humans will never understand God. Just as a child with teacup will never empty the ocean, we can never understand more than a tiny fraction of the amazing God who made the universe.
A few basic truths about God:
There is one God.
He always existed, always will. He is not bound or affected by time.
He made everything that exists.
He loves you enough to send his own innocent son to die for guilty humans and pay the price for our sins.
Jesus
Jesus is God, the Son He became a human to teach us how to live. Then he gave his life to give us forgiveness. Jesus lived a sinless human life and we try to follow him. His amazing powerful ressurrection proves his power over sin and death.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit of God may be the most difficult to understand of all. The Holy Spirit will work in our hearts to give us understanding. The Spirit works to show us our sin, and to help us pray to God when we do not have the words.
Forgiveness, Salvation, New life,
When we decide to follow Jesus, an amazing change begins to take place in our life. The transition from old life to new life involves a process that can take a short or long time.
Learning about Jesus and the Bible is part of the process and continues from beginning to end. We study alone privately and in groups. We will never know all that we need to know. We will never know it all. As we learn more and gain experience, we can teach the beginners.
Faith develops as we study and learn and pray and live and spend time together. Faith is being sure of things we can not see. At some point, our faith becomes strong enough that we are ready to trust Jesus for our salvation.
Learning and faith take place in our hearts and we can choose to be either very private or very open about it. When our faith becomes strong enough that we are ready to trust Jesus, it is time to tell this to other people. Telling about our faith to other people may sound very scary, but it can be very simple. At first, the simple statement like -- I believe Jesus is God's Son. I believe that he died for my sins. I want to follow Jesus. -- is good. But as our faith and confidence grow, by our life and our words, we tell people we believe in Jesus.
The new birth into the new life. The new birth is a physical event with a deep spiritual meaning. It is a quick dip or burial in water. This can be done in a bathtub, a swimming pool, or a river, lake, or sea.
New Birth, New Life, New Family. When we are saved from our sins, we enter into a new life. We are given a new family, a new community of believers for encouragement and to serve God together. This is called the church. It is a group fo people, not a building. Jesus says even if our physical family does not follow Jesus, we gain a hundred times more brothers and sisters, even parents.

day by day lyrics and tune on MIDI hymnal

Scroll down to samples and click on
Day by Day
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find, to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best—
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Every day, the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He Whose Name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
Help me then in every tribulation
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land.

IF..... Rudyard Kipling
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
IF you can keep your head when all about you

LOGOS AND RHEMA Gracemail
Edward Fudge"
LOGOS AND RHEMA
A gracEmail subscriber writes: "I have heard that the written word of God (Greek: logos) becomes the living and active word of God (Greek: rhema) only after we take it into our soul and translate it into life. Is that distinction valid?"
* * *
Two Greek words are translated "word" in the New Testament: logos (218 times) and rhema (56 times). Our word "logical" comes from the Greek word logos, as does the English suffix "-ology." Our words "rhetoric" and "orator" are kin to the Greek word rhema.
Knowing that, you will not be surprised to learn that logos emphasizes a word's rational origin in the mind (whether the word is written or spoken), while rhema refers to a word actually spoken. If you think about something and then say it, what you say is both logos (the expression of your thought) and also rhema (voiced by your vocal cords). That is the root difference between these two Greek words for "word."
You ask whether logos becomes rhema only after being taken into our lives and lived out. That is not in the meaning of the words themselves. However, it is true that God's word/message (whether written or spoken) becomes effective for us personally only when we receive it with meekness, digest it with faith, and make it a part of our lives (Heb. 4:2). (By the way, when Hebrews 4:12 says that God's "word" is living and active, the author uses logos rather than rhema).
