"God is not looking for brilliant men, is not

depending upon eloquent men, is not shut

up to the use of talented men in sending His

gospel out in the world.  God is looking for 

broken men who have judged themselves in

the light of the cross of Christ.  When He 

wants anything done, He takes up men who

have come to the end of themselves, whose

confidence is not in themselves, but in God."  

- H.A. Ironside

TWO MEN WENT UP INTO THE TEMPLE TO PRAY

"Two men went up into the temple to pray;

the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican ...

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,

God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, ...

And the publican, standing afar off, would not

lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote

upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me,

a sinner.

I tell you, this man went down to his house

justified rather than the other: for every one

that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he

that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

(Selections from Luke 18:10 -14 KJV)  

K.P. Yohannan said it so well when he said;

"Lack of humility is the proof of counterfeit

spirituality."

Which one are we??

A SHORT MEDITATION

"Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed

in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not 

confess it, lest they should be put out out the 

synagogue: for they loved the praise of men

more than the praise of God."

(John 12:42,43 RSV)

OUCH!

Am I more concerned about the opinions of my 

fellow men than of God who made me, gives me

life and loved me enough to die for me?

SO YOU ARE WISE!

So you are wise and act wisely.

How do you define wise?

What is wise to you?

Does you opinion of "wise" match up with

God's opinion of wise.  God, you know, the

one who gives you life and breath.  The one

we will all answer to when we pass on from

this life.

Consider God's opinion of wise

.

"The Lord looks down from heaven

upon the children of men, to see if

there are any that act wisely,

that seek after God."

(Psalms 14:2 RSV)

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY

"The only truly happy men I have ever

known, were Christians."

WORLD OF COPY CATS

Meet the copycats in our area.
The men in our area are kind'a
like "One size fits all.".  So one
picture fits them all.

Right now the "in" thing is this
little beard.  So if you see this
little beard, you have seen them
all.

It appears they are all trying

to look smart.  It works on a couple

of them.  The rest looked better

with something else.

But, this little beard is the in thing now.

So we are stuck with it until something

else comes along.

May it hurry.

More copy cats.

And the female copy cats in our area.

I confess.  It has been a busy 

week for my self.  So I have 

not had time to go out and

see what the current fad is.

I may be behind.  And this may

be how the women in another area

look right now.

But either way is just
fine.

But God bless our women, 

even if they are trying to look

like someone else.

"Do not conform yourself to the

standards of this world, but let

God transform you inwardly by

a complete change of your mind.

Then you will be able to know

the will of God - what is good

and is pleasing to him and is 

perfect."

(Romans 12:2 GNT)

WHERE?

"Where are the men who have been with God,

who have tarried in His presence until they have heard His Word,

and then descended from the mount with the Glory of God

radiating from their faces

and the power of God reverberating from their hearts?"

Nancy Leigh DeMoss
