FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE TENTH COMMANDMENT. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, wife, manservant, maidservant, ox, ass nor ANYTHING that is thy neighbor’s.” Exo. 20: 17.
God is also called Palmoni, “the divine Numberer” and is a God of order who “numbers the numberless stars of the heavens” and the number of hairs on our heads. Number Ten in the Bible stands for ‘completion,’ hence there are only Ten Commandments that cover our “whole duty to God and to our fellowmen.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
LESSONS FROM SOLOMON’S ADULTERY-IDOLATRY-APOSTASIES. “
“For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his god, as was the heart of his father David.” 1 Kings 11: 4, NKJV.(See verses 1-13).
“Pity the Man who was Envied. (See Eccl. 1:14). Many envied the popularity and abundant glory of Solomon, thinking that of all men he must be the MOST HAPPY. But amid all that glory of ARTIFICIAL display the man envied is the one to be MOST PITIED. His countenance is dark with despair. All the splendor about him is but to him mockery of the distress and anguish of his thoughts as he reviews his MISSPENT life in seeking for happiness through indulgence and selfish gratification of every desire.” E.H.White, Signs of the Times, Feb. 7, 1878.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
LOVE BEGETS LOVE.
Whether accepted by those to whom it is shown or even when ignored or spurned, true love does not expect, much less demand love, attention or respect in return but loves unconditionally. It is not a feeling but a living principle. Such love is only of and from God.
It is impossible for sinful man to love unconditionally for he is yet selfish, self-centered, indulging in self-pity. This love is partial, mercenary, judgmental fitful, largely physical, passionate and sensual, thus fleeting and transitory. It is blind. It is conditional. But by the biblical number of 70 years, I now humbly realize how truly blessed I am to be the unworthy object of the love of the God of love.

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS.
“The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow, for it will soon be cut off, and we fill fly away…..So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (apply our hearts unto wisdom, KJV).” Psalms 90: 10,12, NKJV.
Without life time has no existence, no meaning, no value. God in Christ alone is the Source, Giver and Sustainer of life, temporal and eternal. Thus we read: “Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory.
