The Extravagance Of God plus some

The Extravagance Of God

        When I give thought to the goodness of God, the grace of God and the gifts of God, I cannot forget just how generous He is to the point of extravagance of God.

        Think with me about the extravagance of God;
            More than man can see
            More sea than he can sail
            More sun than he can bear to watch
            More breath than he can breath
            More yield than can sow
            More grace than he can comprehend
            More love that he can know


Our Pastor

        Have you ever walked in your pastors shoes and gone where his feet have trod?
        Have you ever thought of what he means to us and on your knees given thanks to God?
        Have you ever told him thank you for being there when times are tough?
        For comforting words and fervent prayers when trials come and the storms of life are rough?
        Have you ever thought to say "Thank you, Pastor" for preaching God's Word to help us understand?
        And for all the times he has given us a helping hand?
        
        When you pray, put him at the top of the list and ask the Lord to surround him with loving care.
        To give him strength and walk with him, to help him with the burdens that he must bear.

        Have you ever walked in your pastors shoes and gone where his feet have trod?

        Have you ever thought of what he means to us and on your knees, given thanks to God?

        "It is no accident that those who believe the teaching of the return of Jesus Christ are the most fervent in witnessing and soul winning."
                    Paul Rader

        "I am bound to win but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.".
                        Abraham Lincoln

        "Do right a thousand times and you may not hear of it once. Do wrong once and you may hear of it a thousand times."

        "How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of which no other people on earth enjoy!"
                        Thomas Jefferson

        "The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it."

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me patient, not irritable;          That it may make be broad in my forgiveness, not narrow,     haughty and overbearing. As I go my rounds from one distraction to another, let me often whisper a word of love Thee. My my life be lived in the supernatural, fill of power for

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

Image
This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a variety of the King James Authoriz

The Lord's Pressence

Image
  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at
