QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
Are We A Saving Influence?
See 2 Cor. 2:15, 16 first. Savor means “aroma” and “influence.” Throw a pebble into a lake, and a wave is formed, and another, and another. As they increase the circle widens, until it reaches the very shore.
Beyond our knowledge or control it tells upon others in blessing OR cursing. Character is power.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
Pray For More Wisdom, Patiences & Grace.
“The prayers you offer in loneliness, in weariness, in trial, God answers, not always according to your expectations but always for your good.” Gospel Workers 258. Paul prayed 3 times that the “thorn in his flesh” be removed.
God’s answer: “My Grace is sufficient for you.” 2 Cor. 12: 7-10. “Where sin abounds, Grace much more abounds.” Rom 5:20. Pray sincerely, trustingly “without ceasing” but also intelligently.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
Possessing the Peace that Passeth Understanding.
“Great peace have they who love Thy law and nothing shall offend them.” Ps. 119:65. See Matt. 8: 23-34; Mark 4: 35-41; Luke 8: 22-39.
Like the first disciples we are all aboard the same boat that is negotiating the turbulent sea of life headed towards the destination called heaven and eternal life. “How often the first disciples’ experience of forgetfulness and lack of faith is ours today!

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
“Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.” Matt. 28: 11-30.
Whether we know it or not or are in denial, all are weary and heavy-laden— burdens that only Christ can remove. The heaviest burden we bear we bear is the burden of sin. If we were left to bear this burden, it would crush us. God became a man without ceasing to be God in the mystery of the incarnation.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
“Call on Me and I will answer you and will show you great and mighty things which you knew not.” Jer. 33: 3.
No other study will so ennoble every thought. Feeling, and aspiration as the study of the Bible. No other book can satisfy the questioning of the mind and the craving of the heart.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
“Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” Ps. 141: 3.
“In the use of language there is perhaps no error that we pass over lightly than hasty, impatient speech. But God’s Word does not treat it lightly. The largest share of life’s annoyances, its heartaches, it’s irritations, is due to uncontrolled temper.
In one moment, by hasty, passionate, careless words, may be wrought evil that’s whole lifetime’s repentance cannot undo. Oh, the hearts that are broken, the friends estranged, the lives wrecked, by the harsh, hasty words of those who might have brought help and healing.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
Do not labor for the food which perished but for the food which ensures to everlasting life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread he will live forever. John 6: 27, 49, 51. “The life of Christ that gives life to the world is IN HIS WORD…..the whole Bible is a manifestation of Christ. As our physical life is sustained by food, so our spiritual life is sustained by the Word of God and every soul is to receive life from God”s Word for himself.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
O the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out. Rom. 11:33.
“In the Bible thousands of gems of truth lie hidden from the surface seeker. This mine of truth is never exhausted. The more you search the Scriptures with humble hearts, the greater will be your interest, and the more you will be exclaiming with apostle Paul: “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God.”
