AlternatorJust got back from the mechanic with the bad news about what is causing our little car to sound like it has a an electric motor. The bearings of the alternator are shot. It must be replaced.  We looked at the cost of a new one and I needed to sit down.  It is over $500! Please pray that God will open up another option.  I really detest solid state.  It was so much easier when you could buy a kit and rebuild your alternator.  

Thanks for all your prayers.  The surgery went well and I was released at 10 today.  We are now at home nursing my sore belly.  The Doc says to take it easy; no lifting, shoveling or bike ride for the next month.

I see the Doctor tomorrow at 9 for pre-op. and Tuesday, they fix my Hernia.  Hopefully, I will be out Wed. and back home that evening.

Thanks for praying.

Yesterday, at the hospital, I had a wonderful visit with a man that runs a youth shelter in a town south of Wittenberg.  I had a conversation with him months ago, but he clearly stated that he had no desire for church as he was not brought up in it.  We still had a great conversation and I had the opportunity to share Christ.

The Reformation Festival was refreshing this year as the people were more open to our witness as ever before. It could be that they are beginningReformation Festival to expect our presence and message at the festival. We passed out many tracts, Bibles and lots of balloons. Our balloons were a big hit. They were lit with a small LED light with the Text “The Light of The World” and our website address on them. On our website, we wrote a gospel tract to coincide with the balloons. We praise the Lord for the many people who went to our site and read about The Light of The World, Jesus!

Arrogance is Ignorance’s favorite mask. It allows all forms of delinquency and gives rise to tyranny of brutes standing behind the cloak of “intelligence”.

God’s law is the great teacher of sinful equality. It banishes arrogance enabling the most simple to learn of truth and love.

Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Ps 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The idea that we live as examples to the possibility of the connection with God in two different plains of existence eludes too many Christians. Spiritually, being a citizen of Heaven while pilgriming on this earth in bodies of earth, is key to the witness we are. David stated it clearly,

"12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. Ps 139;12"

As Christ was crucified, he was positioned between heaven and earth. He was connected to God with open arms to embrace the lost for which he was born to save. Let us, as living sacrifices, demonstrate the same. As we live eternally, always in touch with the creator, let us embrace the lost with open arms of self sacrifice that some hearts may trust because of our faith.
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

 

With fear and trembling, I beg you to mold me into the image of Christ.  I want to shine brighter! 

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
