We cannot fully explain the mystery of physical birth, but we accept its wonder, and we accept the fact of new life. What is it, then, that keeps us from accepting the reality and wonder of spiritual rebirth of being born "again? " To those who have experienced it or seen it happen in others, it is just as real as physical birth. Just as surely as God im- plants the life cell in the tiny seed that produces the mighty oak, as surely as He instills the heartbeat in the life of the tiny infant yet unborn, as surely as He puts motion into the plan- ets, stars, and heavenly bod- ies, so He implants His divine life in the hearts of those who earnestly seek Him through Christ. If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. Your pres- ence will be appreciated and I'm sure you will feel the bless- ing of God.

His Power, His Purpose "Blessed be the God and Fa- ther of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heaven- ly places in Christ: according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be ho- ly and without blame before him in love: having predes- tinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the for- giveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; where- in he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, accord- ing to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself" (Ephesians 1:3-9). We are told in this portion of scripture that God hath blessed us, God hath chosen us, God predestinated us, God made us accepted, God hath redeemed us, and God hath abounded toward us. He did this for his will, his purpose, and his pleasure. When we truly realize how much He has invested in our spiritual suc- cess, victory will be inevitable.

Blessed are they who are bored with minister's man- nerisms and mistakes, for they get nothing out of the sermon. Blessed is the church mem- ber who expects to be invited to his own church, for he is part of the problem instead of the solution. Blessed are they who gos- sip, for they cause strife and divisions that please me. Blessed are they who are easily offended, for they soon get angry and quit. Blessed are they who do not give their offering to carry on God's work, for they are my best helpers. Blessed is he who profess- es to love God but hates his brother and sister, for he shall be with me forever. Blessed are the trouble makers, for they shall be called children of the devil. Blessed is he who has no time to pray, for he will be easy prey. By Douglas Parson, Pul- pit Helps. Everyone is welcome to each service. God Bless America.
