To The Throne of God

You Live in our Praises
Lord, how can this be ?
We bring our praise
Oh Lord to Thee.

To the Throne of God
And back again.
You amaze me Lord.

Lord how You know me,
How Great is Your Love.
Your way of compassion
Is so far above me.

To the Throne of God
And back again,
You amaze me Lord .

When I can't comprehend,
Your Mercy you send.
You see my needs ,
And Provide for me.

To The Throne of God,
And back again,
You amaze me Lord.

Hi again Church

I remember back when, in my day,in the Lutheran Church when we had a dedicated Pastor. He started an Evangelism Comittee of six people . I need to mention here, that two of these comittee people were not saved. One was my husband, who also was a Church Elder. Anyway , the comittee would go to homes of Church MEMBERS to present the "Born Again " mandate from the Bible. This was a great idea. Today,how many Pastors do you find going to seek out the "Lost ''' sheep in the "Church " ? Ezekial 34:4

That was in the 1970's. The Charismatic Movement was born during this time. Altho the movement was not accepted by the Lutheran Church and others, it did bring about an Evangelism Explosion. At this time I was a Sunday School Superintendent, (small church), and the Lord led me with great enlightment during out 15 minute Opening Devotion Time on Sunday. I was given really amazing presentations and the Sunday School was filling with kids.

I had been enlightened to the working of The Holy Spirit through Pentecostal friends. I kept it "under wraps" though. It was unacceptable in the Lutheran Church.
The Lord also led me into banner making and hand printing "scripture posters" as well. The results, because of the "Hand of the Lord " upon me, were amazing, to say the least.

Well, word gets around, and at one point I was admonished by the Pastor who told me that "some Charismatics were found at his sister's Church and they were asked to leave." OK, so finally after months of prayer, and trials, I left that church. I realized again what a destructive force in the Church are "the Doctrines of Men"

Amazing, "unsaved" men evangelizing and holding the office of Elder in the Church and yet how "wrong " to let The Holy Spirit : our empowerer, our enabler, our teacher, our gift giver and our encourager in !
Excuse me, The Holy Spirit Proclaims those things of Jesus Christ hmmmmmmmmmmm.

much needed

There's a quiet place
I like to be,
Where the Lord imparts
His Way to me.

A place where I can
safely lay,
Out my thoughts.
A Place to Pray .

He gives assurance
that He sees
And works things out
just for me.

To help me over, through,
or in,
Any problem, trial, sorrow
or sin.
Thank You Lord

Hello..Church ??

Has anyone bothered to ask the Lord lately: Are we doing Ok Lord ? Show us TODAY, your way for us, Your Plan Lord.

Today women or men who receive Christ and get Saved look for a Church. Often a close friend or Christian relatve brings them into their Church. THe Church seems ill prpared to deal with them. Why ? Perhaps one of the reasons is "Doctrines of Men"
Perhaps the Church has gotten set in Her ways. Most people , like myself , through experience pretty much discern "the order of the day".

The Lutheran Church proceeds thusly : Calm down, shhhhh, others don't understand your being "saved" Lay low.

The Baptists thusly: Is he/she really saved ? Do they meet our 12 point criteria ? If they do maybe they qualify to give
a testimony. Hey don't we have five District meetings this week and 3 Conventions?

The Assemblies of God thusly : Hmm if they'll act like us , talk like us, walk like us and dress like us.......maybe.
Nursery and Potluck for the women. Men's Fellowship breakfast, and weekend retreat for the men.

Catholics thusly: "Hierarchy is Us", Protocol is god.

So we could go on and on . What do we do ? My Bible says that Christ is the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ that is. An Us ? We are the Body of Christ, functioning as the head directs. What description fits your Church ?:

Elitist, Secular, Exclusive, Big Business,
Small Business, Sexist, Territorial,
Self Righteous,Grapevine, Intimidating
Controling, Cultish ??????

Perhaps you are Blessed and have a wonderful Church, but this is not so for many.

HELLO...Church ? Get back to Your First Love. REVELATION 2: 4

SUPER BOWL

Wow, what a Great Game: Pittsburg 27, Cardinals23. Me and a couple of members of the family were cheering The Cardinals on, but it didn't matter, It was a Truly Exciting Game. Harrison ran that whole field at the end of the second quarter...how fun..however, in the 4th quarter he should have been sent out for the "un-necessary roughing", he was really getting bullish. holy moly I've never seen such spectacular energy as Fitzgerald has, WOW, again. Really whoever won , this will go down as one of the Really Great Games. We sure had fun with it ! YEA !!
