Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."

During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!"

Every time you cross my mind, I
break out in exclamations of thanks
to God. Each exclamation is a
trigger to prayer. I find myself
praying for you with a glad heart.
I am so pleased that you have
continued on in this with us,
believing and proclaiming
God's message, from the
day you heard it right
up to the present.
There has never been
the slightest doubt in
my mind that the God
who started this great
work in you would
keep at it and bring
it to a flourishing
finish on the very
day Christ Jesus
appears.
Phil. 1:3-6
The Message





TRY TO TOP THIS

He is the First and Last,
the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation
and the Creator of all!
He keeps the Architect of the universe
and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is,
and He always will be...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated,
and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!

The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and
The leaders can't ignore Him.

Herod couldn't kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and
The people couldn't hold Him!

Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and
Donahue can't explain Him away!

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous,
mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and
His mind is on me!

He is my redeemer,
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and
He is my peace!

He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and
He rules my life!

I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and
His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because
He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful,
the ancient of days,
the ruler of rulers,
the leader of leaders,
the overseer of the overcomers, and
the sovereign Lord of all that was
and is
and is to come.

And if that seems impressive to you,
try this for size.

His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me, never forsake me,
never mislead me, never forget me,
never overlook me, and
never cancel my appointment
in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere,
every time, and every way.
He is God,
He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the
father of this world. So, if you're wondering
why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side,
and that means
all is well with my soul.

Every day is a blessing -- for GOD Is!
