When we commit our way to God, we are essentially placing our hand in his. He delights in the fact that we are walking with him. Even in the times when we stum- ble, he will steady our path and give us the confidence to keep walking. We thank Him that we can accept his hand and continue to walk with him. We are remembering those in our community who are suf- fering with illnesses. May the Lord bless and give his heal- ing touch to those in need. We invite you to worship with us.

"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be" (Romans 8:7). "So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:8). Paul tells us to live and walk in our daily lives by the spirit, not the flesh. Satan and his de- mons are at war with believers in this world. "Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephe- sians 6:10,11). I pray that the Holy Spirit will help you and myself when Satan is tempting, and we are about to seek pleasures of the flesh, that we will remem- ber a few minutes of pleasure here in the world cannot com- pare to the eternal pleasures we will receive in Heaven. A promise from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

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.
