Answer - Psalms 117 Church Marquee Signs : The best vitamin for a Christian is B1. Under same management for over 2000 years! Soul food served here. Tithe if you love Jesus! Anyone can honk! |  Well, what a wonderful month June proved to be. We had our tremendous revival with the Hinkle Family. They certainly got Bro. Kenneth jumping up and down! For four nights they were with us and all to soon they had to leave. They left a theme song in all of our hearts with Blessed Jesus hold my hand. What a wonderful ministry they have. God has truly blessed this family in their efforts to share God's love. It was such a blessing to have them with us for such a short time. If you didn't make any of the nights with us you truly missed out. But as luck would have it, you'll be getting another chance. They will be back on July 21, please mark your calendar to be here, they will also be bringing back our Jonathan with them (unless we can make some kind of trade) just kidding Jonathan. Maybe.Sister Judy traveled to visit her kinfolk for a family reunion, we sure missed her and glad she is back safe and sound. Bro. Kenneth has his daughter here with him from Germany. I'm sure he is really enjoying her visit.We had four of our young people baptized in June, Stephanie, Randy Jr, Joshua, and Stephen. Isn't it great to see God moving in our church.
The Lord is My Strength "The Lord hath sent strength for thee". The Lord imparts unto us that primary strength of character which makes everything in life work with intensity and decision. We are "strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man." And the strength is continuous; reserves of power come to us which we cannot exhaust. "As thy days, so shall thy strength be"--strength of will, strength of affection, strength of judgment, strength of ideals and achievement. "The Lord is my strength" to go on. He gives us power to tread the dead level, to walk the long lane that seems never to have a turning, to go through those long reaches of life which afford no pleasant surprise, and which depress the spirits in the sameness of a terrible drudgery. "The Lord is my strength" to go up. He is to me the power by which I can climb the Hill Difficulty and not be afraid. "The Lord is my strength" to go down. It is when we leave the bracing heights, where the wind and the sun have been about us, and when we begin to come down the hill into closer and more sultry spheres, that the heart is apt to grow faint. I heard a man say the other day concerning his growing physical frailty, "It is the coming down that tires me!" "The Lord is my strength" to sit still. And how difficult is the attainment! Do we not often say to one another, in seasons when we are compelled to be quiet, "If only I could do something!" When the child is ill, and the mother stands by in comparative impotence, how severe is the test! But to do nothing, just to sit still and wait, requires tremendous strength. "The Lord is my strength!" "Our sufficiency is of God." The Silver Lining |
