“Jesus is beauty, inside and out.  He is the silver lining in
a world of darkness.  He is my light.”  ~- Marie Lou

Discouragement is one of Satan’s greatest tools, knowing if he can discourage us enough, we will quit, which seems the easy way out.  Will it help us reach our goals or accomplish the will of God?  Encouragement is the antonym.  Focusing on encouraging others, makes our discouragement disappear.  Remember to PUSH—Pray Until Something Happens!  God certainly knows how to help us overcome discouragement.  ~ Bro. Bob Turner

Who will join me for the Proverbs 13:3 challenge?

NO complaining, NO criticizing, NO gossiping for 21 consecutive days.
Every time you slip up, you start the 21 days over!
(One who guards his mouth protects his life;
One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.)

“We can be right in our position but wrong in our disposition.”

(unk; Eph. 4:15)

 

 

 

Satan may be winning a bunch of

battles right now,

but make no

mistake…

God wins the war.

“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could learn in no other way.”

  ~ C.S. Lewis

 

 

 

I would challenge you to live in the grace of God on a daily basis.  It is sufficient for all of our struggles, and it is an answer to all of our adversity.  Thanks be to God for His sufficient grace.
~ Bro. Wayne Jones

Inscription on John Wayne’s tombstone

“Tomorrow is one of the most important things in life.  Comes into us at midnight very clean.  It’s perfect when it arrives, and it puts itself into our hands.  It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.”

 

---

 

John 13:34 (“they will know us by our love”)

 Heb 10:23–25 (“encourage one another”)

 

---

"I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.  Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business."

~ Michael J. Fox

 

---

"Our worst days are never so bad that we’re beyond the reach of God’s grace,

and our best days are never so good that we’re beyond the need of God’s love.”

~ Author Unknown, contributed by Joe Whitner

---

 

"Concern for someone else is a good remedy for taking the

mind off one's own troubles."

 

---

 

No God.  No hope.  Know God.  Know hope.

No God.  No peace.  Know God.  Know peace.

"Worshipping together is a unifying process, and time spent together outside of the worship setting contributes to growth in our relationships with each other."

“Life becomes easier and more beautiful when

we can see the good in other people.”     ~ Roy T. Bennett

 

 

It’s never a mistake when God is your first love.

It’s only a mistake when He is not.

Matt 22:37–38, Rev 2:1–4, Matt 6:33

Bro. Jon Warnes

On your best day, you are a child of God.

On your worst day, you are a child of God.

                                   ~ Bro. Jon Warnes

Dear Lord, please put your arm around my shoulders

and your hand over my mouth.
