New Bible Study

Last night at prayer meeting, Bro. Don started a new Bible study. We will be learning about the doctrines we believe. I am so excited about this study. My knowledge is very limited about Baptist Doctrine. Hopefully this will equip me with the knowledge that I need when witnessing to the lost and answering some of the questions (and excuses) they have. Bro. Don makes it so interesting and really makes you hunger for more knowledge. Join us if you can and gain all the knowledge you want from this study.

Last night we started with the BIBLE, God's Word, and what we believe about it . It is alive, divinely appointed. It is an expression of who God is and has his breath contained in it. The Bible is for use in rebuke, dotrine and reproof. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word of God is forever. The Bible brings critisizm when needed and becomes a mirror of our soul; it is a picture of who we are and who we SHOULD be. It gives instruction to where we need to be. I really liked this part: man and God are separated, and the Bible is the bridge that brings them together. These are just a few things we learned about the Bible and what be believe about it.

Caleb is home and doing great!!!!! He responded to the treatments they gave him at Scared Heart and hopefully he will not have anymore trouble. Thank you so much for your prayers for him and his family.

Carley is in Houston and doing good. They are still in the "meeting with doctors" phase right now. She will have more tests this week. Pray for her, please. God has really been ministering to her family as they wait on tests and pray for good results.

Prayer requests that were voiced are: Royce Council (very ill with cancer, and his relationship with the Lord), Roy Brunson (tests next week), Rhonda Huggins (lost her brother to an airplane accident), James Griffin (cancer patient, doing good), our country and the upcoming presidential election.

I picked up a card this morning to address to someone for their birthday. The scripture on it read, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV) This really jumped out at me. What a MIGHTY God we have. Sometimes we just can't comprehend just what that means. But, this verse says it well. We really can't imagine just what he has prepared for us that love him. But, I believe we have to listen to Him, obey Him and follow His direction to get what he has prepared for us. I don't mean just when we want something or have a problem we want Him to solve. I mean everybreath we take, every decision we make. One decision that is so gravely important right now is who will we vote for in the next election. Our country will elect a new president next election. Don't say "my one vote won't make a difference". What if half the Americans said that. Well, that would make a big difference. Go vote, but don't just vote. Pray from now until the next election what God want for our country and who He has prepared to lead our country. THEN and only then go vote!! This election is probably one of the most important elections of our time and it is crutial that our vote count and that it comes straight from the Throne of King Jesus.
