SELF SACRIFICING LOVE IN A SELFISH WORLD 8/9/2010
Choosing Self Sacrificing Love in a Selfish World God launched His plan to train the women of Christ's
Church using the godly older women He was already at work
inside, and allowing their Spirit-led walk as they grew
day-by-day, to flow out into the lives of younger women.
Paul told them that the Lord asked every believing wife
to decide and surrender to these twin concepts contained

The Cross and Death To Sin 8/5/2010
The Cross and Death to Sin
IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME, as a Christian, that I was “born
crucified, ” that is, born all over again through death—the
death of Jesus Christ. When I was saved, I accepted death
as my only deliverance. I had been embraced by the Cross.
Christ died in my place. I was indeed a dead man but for Christ.
He died my death. “Who his own self bare our sins in ...

justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets the prisoners free. The LORD opens the eyes

Mark 1:18 Straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him.
When they heard the call of Jesus, Simon and Andrew obeyed
at once without demur. If we would always, punctually and
with resolute zeal, put in practice what we hear upon the
spot, or at the first fit occasion, our attendance at the
means of grace, and our reading of good books, could not
fail to enrich us spiritually. He will not ...

The most important thing that anyone can do when they are

Praying Like Jesus Said 5/21/2010
Praying Like Jesus Said When the disciples watched Jesus pray, they felt He was
getting through. They were so moved by His prayer habits
they asked Him to teach them. What Jesus gave them was a model to steer us into prayers
that God hears. When we follow Christ's words we are
praying in the Spirit. And when we pray in the Spirit we are
always in touch with God. No matter how weak we may feel, ...

Prince of Peace by Ann Spangler 2/18/2010
Who hasn't longed for peace, living in a world that

means much more than the absence of conflict or the end of
turmoil. Shalom conveys not only a sense of tranquility
but also of wholeness and completion. To enjoy shalom is
to enjoy health, satisfaction, success, safety, well-being,
and prosperity. Though the New Testament does not ...
