Amy, I got this email today from another nurse at one of the other hospitals in the Texas Medical Center in Houston.  As soon as I read it I thought about you.  We don't know where it came from, but we do know it needs to be shared. Blessings, Rev. Emily Dice THE SILENT SERMON   This is very uplifting!  It blessed me today, I am sure you too will be blessed.     A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going.  After a few weeks, the pastor decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire.  Guessing the reason for his pastor's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited. The pastor made himself at home but said nothing.  In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs.  After some minutes, the pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet contemplation.  As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more.  Soon it was cold and dead. Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting.  The pastor glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave.  He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire.  Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it. As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek,  'Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the firey sermon. I will be back in church next Sunday'. We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little.  Consequently, few listen.  Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken. The Lord is my Shepherd ----- that's a Relationship! I shall not want ----- that's Supply! He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ----that's Rest! He leadeth me beside the still waters -----that'sRefreshment! He restoreth my soul ----- that's Healing! He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness --that's Guidance! For His name sake ----- that's Purpose! Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death--that's Testing! I will fear no evil ----- that's Protection! For Thou art with me ----- that's Faithfulness! Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me -----that'sDiscipline! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies------that's Hope! Thou annointest my head with oil ----- that'sConsecration! My cup runneth over ----- that's Abundance! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life----that's Blessing! And I will dwell in the house of the Lord -----that'sSecurity! Forever ----- that's Eternity! Face it, God is crazy about you! Send this to the people you are crazy about.  I thought this was pretty special, just like YOU!     What is most valuable is not WHAT we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives. ******************************************** To ordain yourself with the Universal Life Church, for free, for life, right now, click on the Free Online Ordination link.

What I Want for Christmas

What do you want for Christmas this year? I think each year our list just gets longer and longer. The truth being known, I think most of us want too much way to much, mostly of the wrong things and not enough of the right things. I think we spend way to much on ourselves and not enough on others. Christmas is the time of the year to spread good cheer, make friends with that person you have been not talking with. Give a little time to someone who has less then you. Not worrying about just what to put under the tree.

We fill up under the tree with toys, and many gifts most of us will never use anyway.

Stop and think what do you think I might want for Christmas this year?

have you ever opened up all the present and feel there is still something missing?

Well I have prolong this long enough all I want for Christmas this year is that people know that a child was born. A son was given. He was given the name the everlasting father the Prince of Peace. Not all the toys not all the fancy gifts. We are forgetting that we are all Gods children, and yes my friends God is alive. The everlasting father the Prince of Peace.

Amen

God's Plan Preceded His Word

Today as I read through the scripture and pondered the meaning of it, something that is quite simple, but at the moment seemed profound occurred to me.

In Proverbs 8:22 wisdom speaking,

"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old".

It occurred to me that before the Lord spoke he worked out the plan. Much like an architect would draw and detail a plan before a shovel of dirt is turned.

Before a survey is taken, before a grade is made, before a pad can be laid, there is a necessity the need for a plan. The plan proceeds the building.

God's plan proceeded his word. When he begin to construct the earth, he already had the plan. When he spoke in generalities of fowl and fish, he had already planned what types there would be. He simply referred to his plan and when he spoke! he word , the plan was created.

Each star and it's position, each planet and it's orbit each and everything had been designed and at that point of the completion of design and the plan, God begin to speak.

What did God do before the beginning? Could it be that he was thinking about what he would do? Thinking about what he would create?

Each worm and weevil, each beetle and bug, each bird and beast he saw living and flying and doing a specific purpose... all before the Word was spoke?

When he finished speaking, he created not just the immediate creation, but inside each there was seed. And inside each of these seeds held the destiny of all that was to come.

You and I lay in the DNA of Adam and Eve. In the seed of Adam and in the fruit of Eve, we were there walking with God unaware of our existence, yet we existed, the material of what we are existed there.

And before we were in the loins of Adam and the womb of eve, we existed in the mind of God.

When did God form you? Oh I know you have a birthday and we can through a little math determine about your conception... but was that really where you were conceived? Or was it on some eternal morning when God saw your eventual existence and planned the grace you would need to answer his call of destiny?

If you consider the nature of God that we see painted out in scripture, we know that God did not just on a whim do a thing. But forethought and unsearchable wisdom was brought to bear to create what we are now a part of.

It is not a question of what came first the chicken or the egg. It is not really a matter of if it were a plan or a word. It is really just recognizing the nature of God and then just trying to imagine wh! at Joy G od must have had on the day he designed creation.

A butterfly with its colorful wings and amazing life span and at the same time similar process that produces a moth.

In the same environment a quick fox and a slow sloth.

And then there is you and there is me.

If he could plan it all, and then give it all life with his Word all of a sudden life and you have fresh meaning. God saw the day you would live and all that you need to succeed and flourish is within your reach and just within your grasp.

He placed an instinct in us all. We thirst for the water we need to live, but we must drink. He placed with in us a hunger for the food we must eat, but we must eat. He placed within you a desire that is in the innermost part of you that is more like God than anything. The desire is not met with water or food, but fellowship with the divine.

But you must step into that place of faith to enjoy the virtue of his presence. When I step in his presence I make room for his plan and word to be realized in fullness in my life.

In His Presence there is fullness of Joy!

In Him, By Him, Through Him,

Scott Phillips

Prov 8:22-31

22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

2! 7 When h e prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

KJV

Attitude, Attitude Today's Scripture "Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church." Ephesians 4:15 NLT Thoughts for Today Conflicts do occur in marriage and can cause disastrous results if not managed properly. Attitude can make all the difference. One option in dealing with conflict is an "I'll get him (her)" attitude. "I win and you lose because I am right and you are wrong." This is a power play and shows little or no love. Another option says, "I'll get out. I'm uncomfortable, so I'll withdraw from the conflict." And you storm from the room with nothing solved. "I'll give in. I'll be nice and submit to your demands so you'll love me." You become a doormat who is smiling ... but frustrated. "I'll meet you halfway. I have only half of the truth and I need your half." This is the attitude of creative compromise, but these two half-truths may not equal the real truth. Consider this ... The most fruitful attitude is "I care enough to confront. I want to stay in a respectful and honest relationship with you. I want you to know where I stand and what I am feeling, needing, valuing and wanting." This attitude invites your spouse to change but does not demand it. The Bible calls it speaking the truth in love. Prayer Father, help me when facing conflict. Help me to have the right attitude ... to always reflect the love of Christ. Help me to speak the truth in love. In Jesus name, Amen Blessings, Robert G.

Online Sermon

Children of the Creator, Children of our Earth Mother: Points to Ponder: If you wish it so, take a moment to be thankful for all you have been given, all that you have, that which good in the eyes of the Creator. The Lord's day is upon us, ponder that which happened last week, that which you will engage in this week anew. Hours ago some called it Back Friday, that day when the Holiday season begins, at least for the Commercial Retailers. Allow me to share my "Good Morning Sunday", for you, it will not take all that long-promise.   Father grant us, your children Peace because your hour draws near, grant us Peace all of our days here on this Blue marble-we call Earth. Grant us peace as we toil this new week, for we know it is no one who toils longer nor harder than you-Dear Father. We ask that the Spirit of Peace descend upon us, for we ask this for all of your children, Father send your Spirit of Peace, to dwell among the children of Father Adam, and Mother Eve. Dearest Heavenly Father, we recognize it is from you and your will, that Justice and righteousness, can and soon will be among your Children. Humbled, with great prayer and fasting we recognize Peace will only be upon the Children of Man, your children, when we follow your will, your laws. We ask Dearest Father that the Great Spirit of Peace walk complete with our neighbors, our enemies, our families. We are instructed, tested, healed and cured, by your will, we ask that the Spirit of Peace prepare the way-Amen. Some of the kinds of things I am asked to do include: Blessing a Mom in the making, and the new mother, blessing the Litte People-children's' actions/activities/school/play areas/living & sleeping area/the blessing of animals of all kinds/ candles and wreaths-since it is that season/ candles year round/food & beverage and sacred icons at holidays and non holidays/blessing a trip it can be work or recreation or day trips/counseling for the spirit and soul/ anointing of the sick, ill and terminally ill. Sometimes a child or any child of the Creator will ask: Why is this and has this been deemed so important to us? My reply: The loving care for the Soul, the uniting of the family of humanity; because we are given freedoms of belief-for some the belief is ok but not the sacraments; so that we experience the closeness of God; to commune with the Spirits of God to aid in of being alive-to enhance our Faith. So what sort of training or experience is needed beyond faith and belief? Do you ask for specific skill sets, or is it my personal belief system you ask, if it is the latter-we speake of the first-first. What sort of Community Service is it you do or have done in the past- why, they are your brothers' and sisters'. Explore communication techniques and systems for the Care and Feeding of the Soul. Explore systems and techniques that address conflict resolution-so each side is an equal party-do you mean a talking stick. Sometimes this can work, if there is an answer feather as well. Co-equals, all of the time. It fosters understanding and harmony. It helps to understand other peoples religions, we are all children of the Creator-if we can and do accept them as they are, and they as we are-there will be peace, and understanding will follow. Are these essential truths-Yes. Is it true what people say about you, that you talk to the animals', and they to you? I also speake with the clouds, trees, waters, the air, the trees, the rocks. How about a mailbox, it is made of compounds found in or on Earth, if it is organic, it has a voice; it must for it is part of creation. Love thy neighbor is not just Two Legged, it must be all of our neighbors. What about meetings, and conferences or conventions? If it is  of man you seek answers to the ways of man-then seek man. If it is the ways of the Creator, then one must go to Creator, if it is of  the animals-you must go to the animals/tree/or whatever you seek to find answers from. Sounds a bit like not in reality or not normal.  Ok may I ask a question of you-sure. Is the world in which you live in-REAL? Or is of this world? Are you saying this world is not real? I am saying this world is-Of this World. You look a bit confused. Yeah I am, what is it that you spend the most amount of time each day or week or month or year doing? Why? That which you do the most is that which you worship. So church isn't just one day a week thing? No, it is all day-every day, if not then you are worshiping this world-not Creator. So I should quit school and become a Priest? NO, school is not a 24/7 kind of thing. School helps you to understand and fit in with people/society/your brothers' and sisters'. Why can't I be just who I am? You are-but society is part of the solution for some needs you have, other needs are met by God. When you start something, include God; when finish something include God; when doing or going somewhere include God. I don't understand? It is really simple-include God in all that you do; everything you have, do, and keep-it is from God. Then why do we have church? Church is people coming together in unity and peace to worship and learn of God. So it isn't the building? No it is not, that is a building-not Church. People say you protect animals, is this true. Yes, and I give toys to shelters for animals, and food treats for the shelters of animals of all sorts. Is that why you have so many bird feeders and bird baths? When man takes lands that were once the home of animals, man must give back to these same animals. The bird baths are really not so much for cleansing, are they are playgrounds for the birds to play in. When the shelter animals are in cages they need stimulation to fight off boredom and separation from their Pet Parents. Pet Parents? When you adopt any animals and make it part of your family, they are dependent upon you for all of their needs. Like a baby? Exactly. I also donate blankets,  bath and beach towels to the shelters. It provides not only warmth, but acts as a snuggle buddy. What about when people or animals die? There are rituals and rites, and for some, ceremonies that take care of this. Why is saying good-bye so hard to do? Saying good-bye to any loved one is always hard. Think of it like this-their spirit has learned all they needed to know to move on. They now or soon will again, be in the Light of Creator. This is where they came from, and came down here to learn and grow. They did, so now they are home again. But it really is hard to still be here. It is part of what you need to learn and grow. Appreciate life and all the gifts of Creator, learn and grow. Then why am I so sad. To learn! Thank you for this opportunity and service>lb p.s.: Now and then make room for a used Golf umbrella, and a couple blankets. I go to St. Vincent de Paul Society Thrift store and Goodwill thrift stores to find these and other items. I donate them to one of the many Animals shelters nearby. Golf umbrella make wonderful tents for the invalid and critter babies to get some air, out in the exercise area. No exercise area is bad news, probably a "Kill Shelter" or a farm for "Testing Subjects", this latter I associate with intense animal cruelty. The "Kill Shelters" put the animal down within a few days if not placed into new homes. ******************************* The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, Wicca, Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more.

Holy Spirit

When it comes to the concept of the Holy Spirit, I do agree with most of the precepts proposed in the course.  I do see the thought and feelings of God being spread through the offerings of the holy spirit.  I do differ in that I do not believe that the Holy Spirit always abides within us at all times.  I have learned from my own life's experience that I can not only shut out the Holy spirit, I can refuse to recognize its existence at all.   My personal experience has taught me that the Holy Spirit abides around us, like  a warm safe embrace. a cloak of sorts.  The choice is to either open the heart and mind to the presence of the Holy Spirit and to embrace its presence, or to remain closed up such as a cup turned upside down on the table.  Once we turn our cup over to set upright, we can then be filled with the blessings of the Holy Spirit.  In turn, we may again turn the cup over again, spilling out to waste the blessings that we given us and again, being upside down, we find ourselves isolated, lonely and desolate. ******************************************** To ordain yourself with the Universal Life Church, for Free, for Life, right now, use the Free Online Ordination, button -- Click the link!

The 11:11 Phenomenon and Repeated Number Sequences Hundreds of Thousands are reporting seeing 11:11 and other number combinations and sequences.

Biblically speaking the Bible numbers 8 (eight) and 13 (thirteen) are very similar. 8 and 13 is the Black Darkness (Judgment upon God/Jesus-Matthew 27:45; which is Space and the Divine Feminine Deity Goddess (Revelation 17:1-16-Babylon), Mother Jerusalem Above-Mary (Galatians 4:24; Revelation 21:1-5) 14-Gary Colin's Numerology-The Passover (Leviticus 23:5)-The time when humans "cross over" to the other side (Luke 8:22;  (in Ships-Ark(s)-Angels-Chariots-Noah-Jesus-Archangel Michael-(Moses-Priest-Pharaoh-Beast-Akhenaten-The Ark of God's Covenant-(Exodus 2:1-6; Matthew 24:30-47; Ezekiel 29:3)-Leviathan-Psalm 104:1-5, 20-27; Exodus 1:1-end;-Mark Chapter).

Sometimes we have to judge
By Rev. Erik Strunk

"First take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Luke 6:42

Some people stand for what is known as "laissez faire," that is, let people do as they please. In support of this stance they quote the words of Jesus: "Do not judge, and you will not be judged.

Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned" (Luke 6:37).

In words preceding the above, Jesus urges us to be merciful because our heavenly Father is that way. Further, He warns against self-righteousness, against having 20/20 vision with regard to someone else's faults but being blind to our own. Such people spot a "speck of dust" or a splinter in their brothers' and sisters' eyes when having a "plank" in their own. On the basis of this context, some say we ought never judge and condemn anyone, not even when moral wrongs are involved.

This cannot be what Jesus meant, for elsewhere He stated, "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault"

(Matthew 18:15).

Whenever Christians do this, they are not expressing arbitrary, personal judgments but are applying the prior judgments of God.

The latter are the standard by which we live.

What kind of judging or condemning is Jesus forbidding? It is a judging that is loveless, without mercy, and is prompted by self-righteousness.

Our Lord does not want us to presume to lay down moral principles, or a set of do's and don'ts, of our own making that exceed or fall short of what the Word of God says. The attempt to add to the Word of God was illustrated by the Pharisees, who added more than 600 laws of their own to the moral law of God. This is legalism.

Yes, there may come times when it is our Christian calling to point out to those near and dear to us that what they are saying and doing is wrong in the light of the Word of God. The intent is to be constructive and positive--as Jesus said--to "win" or "gain" the brother or sister, to be spiritually helpful to one for whom Christ died.

PRAYER: Lord Give, give me the attitude toward, and the right concern for, my brothers and sisters in the faith who err.

Amen.

Online Sermon

By Jeanette Buschman

Prayer

Hello and welcome,

My name is Reverend Jeanette,

I am filled with joy to see that you have come to hear and be filled with the infallible word of God.  As we are leaky vessels and need to be refilled and refueled with the word on a regular basis. B I B L E,when broken down,this word means, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Every question can be answered in this good book.

This, the guide that God has left us to live our lives by.

If you stay in the word and apply it to your daily life,.then you're living right,the way God has planned for us to live.

Everyone please stand and lets us pray to welcome God into this place of worship.

I want to show,those who do not know,the power of prayer. let us pray.

Oh Father God,we all have gathered in your presence to praise you & to receive your word,we welcome your presence,we ask for you to come into this place of worship,we've opened our hearts & minds to you.We thank you for your grace & forgiveness you offer us.

Everyone where you stand,welcome our Lord & Savior into this place of worship,you can do this however you like. Because if he's nor here,lets all go home. Amen?

Praise Jesus !!!

This is a place that we can know that the Lord Jesus is present right now !!!

It is written in the book of Matthew 18:20,where two or more are gathered in my name,there am I with them.

Of course this is only one of the many reasons to gather & meet up with other Christians,it is beneficial to be with like minded people. You've heard that there is safety in numbers?,Well there is power & strength in our agreement & unity together in prayer in the Lord's presence.

It is very powerful & blessed.

Do you believe I'm preaching the truth?

Praise Jesus !!!

When you feel the Holy Spirit's presence upon you,it's so wonderful & powerful,you've never been humbled in the way you will at that time.

It is so precious & wonderful.

Thank you Jesus !!!!

At this time I would like to offer an altar call,please everyone stand up,bow your heads ,close your eyes & open your hearts.

If there be any one hear that doesn't know Jesus as their Lord & Savior,please raise your hand & then put it back down again. God loves an honest heart.

There is no shame,it doesn't matter who you are or what you've done or been in your life

God loves you & is not mad at you.

God will forgive you. You only need to confess your sins and ask for forgiveness.This is done through prayer.

John 14:6,Says Jesus told them"I am the way,the truth and the life,no one can come to the Father except through me.

There is no shame,he forgives all.

It is written in the book of Matthew 8:38, that anyone who is ashamed of me & my words in this adulterous & sinful generation,the son of man,Jesus will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the Holy Angels.

For those who raised their hands ,I want to pray with you so you may receive your Lord & Savior into your heart & inherit your promise of eternal life.

Your time has come !!!! The time is now !!!!! Time is running out !!!! Time is so short !!!!!

Life is but a blink of an eye to God. If you were to leave this world today,do you know where you would spend eternity?

Do you know Jesus ? Is he in your heart ? Are you saved ? Are you sure ?

Those who will come to the altar to kneel & pray for their salvation,please come.

Everyone please repeat after me while we all pray for forgiveness of our sins.

Oh dear Lord Jesus,I know that I am a sinner and fall short of your glory,I need & ask for you to forgive me. I confess that you died on the cross for me & rose again so that I could be forgiven & receive eternal life. I turn from sin & turn my face towards you. I invite you into my heart & my life to be my Lord & Savior. Please have all of me as yours to do your will now & forever. Amen PRAISE JESUS !!!!!!! HALLELUJAH !!!!!!

Thank you Jesus for the gift of forgiveness & salvation.

Everyone may be seated,if you can,stand if you'd like.

When we pray we allow the Holy Spirit to come into us to guide us into truth & wisdom.

I'll say it again,the power of prayer is so powerful,there is no other feeling like the feeling of the Holy Spirit filling our being,filling our heart with humbleness & overflowing love.

There is no replacement for,nor alternate route or way,other than through prayer for establishing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Be careful what you ask for in prayer. If you ask for the Lord to teach you patience,he will give you trials & lessons to help teach you patience.

Pray in all you do,but pray selectively.

In my past I had thought that If I attended church every now and then or for long stretches of time,not at all,as long as I prayed,you know ,at dinner,special holiday gatherings,every now & then,usually when I needed something.Or when there would be a major upheaval in my life.

I honestly thought this was adequate.

I've since realized that this is not the case.

God's most important commandment is found in the book of Mark 12:29, It is written "Love the Lord your God with all your heart,soul,mind & strength.

I believe this would involve communication with our Lord through prayer & praise.

Praising him in all he has done & all that he is going to do in our lives.Note that I said "all he has done". You may not agree to this,but you should.

There are unforeseen lessons in all that was,is & will be the Lord's will.

Sometimes the Lord tests us ,I believe there can not be a testimony with out a test.

I believe that sometimes things happen in life that we do not understand because the Lord is trying to get our attention,one way or another he will get our attention.He has gotten my attention more than once through life experiences,be them good or bad.The Lord has brought me to prayer more than once. Think about it for a minute,when were you last brought to prayer,to a personal conversation with God through Jesus Christ? Was it due to a circumstance?

Lets read 1 Peter 1:6-9,It is written "So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead,even though you have many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being as fire tests and purifies gold,though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.So when your faith remains strong through many trials,it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

So as you can see trials sharpen our faith.

Through prayer and our special relationship with God we can realize his will & plan for us.

The closer the relationship,the more we realize.

We should all realize that we are all meant to be more Jesus like in all that we think,say & do. Think W.W.J.D. What Would Jesus Do?

Would he approve of this or that? It applies to everything !!!! Jesus prayed a lot !!!!

Lets look at the passage in the book of John 8:12, It is written"I am the the light of the world.

If you follow me,you will not walk in darkness,because you will have the light that leads to life. Amen !!!! Did you know that amen means so be it ?

How awesome is that?

Another way that the Lord says to honor him is through first fruits & tithe.

This at times seems to be a touchy subject. It should not be !!!!!

Lets look at Proverbs 3:9-10, It is written"Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.Then he will fill your barns with grain and your vats will overflow with good wine.

Also lets look at Malachi 3:8-10, It is written"Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me."But you ask what do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?

You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. You are under a curse,for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all the tithes into the store house so there will be enough food in my temple.If you do "says the Lord of heaven's armies,I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you wont have enough room to take it in !Try it,put me to the test.

You see here,the Lord will bless you,but you must first bless,give & you shall receive.

Would you admit to robbing God? Of course not.

I have given when that had already been allocated to go else where,I gave freely & happily.

PRAISE JESUS !!!!!!!!

It was returned to me multiplied in several ways,probably in some ways that I have not even realized yet.

If you have not experienced this for yourself,try it,believe it,see it in your heart & then bless & be blessed.

The Lord only has asked for 10%,give more gladly,freely and cheerfully claim your blessing,you can even name what you would ask it to be.

God loves a cheerful tither.

We will now pass around the tithe collection dish. Thank you Lord !

We will now pray over the tithes given,Dear Father God,we thank you for cheerful,gracious tithers,we are tithing in faith,and you said we would be blessed. Thank you Lord..

We pray that these tithes will meet all the needs of this ministry according to your will.

Amen.

We all need to remember as saved children of God,we are anew,the old is gone.

Lets look at 2 Corinthians 5:17- 6:2,It is written "Therefor if any one is in Christ he is a new creation,the old has gone and the new has come.All this is from God,who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

We are therefor Christ's ambassadors,as though God were making his appeal through us,we implore you on Christ's behalf: be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us,so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says

"In the time of my favor I heard you and in the day of salvation I will help you.

I tell now is the time of God's favor,now is the day of salvation.

PRAISE JESUS !!!!!

As this scripture states,we are ambassadors of God and should live as though.

In closing I would like to stress that it is up to us to help those in need.Be it in their spiritual salvation,being saved, or in any other type of need.

We as ambassadors of Christ are to offer any and all that is needed.

Please remember as long as you walk,speak,think and act out of love, you are becoming more Jesus like all the time. PRAISE JESUS !!!!!!!!

As the scripture reads in Matthew 9:37-38, Then he said to his disciples"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

I believe this refers to the harvest of souls for God.

As you go through your week please be reminded of the fact that we are ambassadors for Jesus and the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Offer those you know and meet that they too through prayer can have salvation.

Should any one have any prayer requests,please see me after the service and our prayer warriors and I will pray with you.

Let us close in prayer

Father God we thank you for your grace,your forgiveness and our salvation.

We thank you & praise you for all you've done,all you're doing and all you're going to do in our lives.

Amen

Interfaith Ministry For Addiction Hello Rev.Amy, I know that I sent you a e-mail a while back letting you know about my new ministry so I thought I would give you an update.  First off I already have my ministry registered as a business in the state of Oregon and already have my business license approved and I should have it in hand by the end of the week.  I have had to take these steps because of the weddings I will be doing.  I have a friend working on my web site and it will be up and going soon. The wedding side of my business is just the beginning.  I became ordained in the ULC while I was working as a Chemical Dependency Counselor in the hope of starting a faith based treatment program.  Since working in that field I have always had a passion for working with people struggling with addiction.  I have a special connection with people in recovery because I myself am in recovery from a drug addiction.  Because the people that I worked with knew that I was also in recovery it produced a bond of trust between us.  They knew that I understood the pain and the struggle of recovery.  I no longer work in the Chemical Dependency field but I still have the passion for working and helping these people.  They are my people.  This is the vision of my ministry.  To help give these people that are truly dedicated to their recovery efforts hope and direction in their lives. Amy, at this point I am willing to try anything to see that my vision for this ministry becomes a reality.  I respectfully ask for your wisdom and would appreciate any advice you have to give me ideas to see my vision come to a reality.I recal reading in a newsletter of some sort of publication from the ULC that Sharon Stone in Hollywood is a a ordained ULC minister.  Do you recal seeing something about this?  I think it would be a blessing if Sharon knew about my vision for this ministry and could help get my message out about my ministry's desire to give people support and help.  I'm not sure what needs to be done to get my message out but I think just people knowing and understanding the struggles that these people have is a good start.  I do know there are plenty of people in Hollywood that are in recovery.  These people understand the pain of being an addict.  I'm not sure how involved Sharon is in the ULC Church but it would be great if I could at least let her know about my ministry and it's vision of hope.  If you have any Idea how I could get my ministry's message to her it would be greatly appreciated. As far as the wedding end of this I hope to be booking weddings before Valentines Day.  I am very blessed to have a lot of good friends that are helping me get this off the ground. I do appreciate your time and I hope to here from you soon. Blessing and peace, -- Loren H.
