"Only one act of pure love, unsullied by any taint 

of ulterior motive, has ever been performed in the 

history of the world, namely the self-giving of God 

in Christ on the cross for underserving sinners."

"So also is the resurrection of the dead.

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in

incorruption.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in

glory; it is sown in weakness; it is raised 

in power;

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a

spiritual body.  There is a natural body,

and there is a spiritual body."  

(1 Corinthians 15:42 -44)

A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.

The Holy Bible tells us that king David was a man

after God's own heart.

But how did he get that way?

I think I found the answer this morning while reading

my Bible.

Over the years when reading about king Dave I noticed

something.  It seems that David was always asking God's

direction on something or other.  Now it adds up.

Ask God's will.

Do God's will.

= Enjoy God's favor.

And binds up their wounds."

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

My wife bought one of these things, what ever

they are.  (It was not this one.)

It was brand new and would not work.  Would 

I take a look at it and see if I could find out 

what was wrong with it.

I ask her why she did not take it back.  Well!, she

had had it for several months and did not have the 

box or the paper work any more.  Please look at it.

O.K.

I did not even know what it was, let alone how to 

operate it.  There was a little lever that said "chop"

in one position, and something else in the other 

position.  But it would not run in either one.

It was even hard to take apart.  I think they have

to come apart just to put "stuff" in them to do what

ever it is you do with them.

After about half an hour of playing with it I found

one little part that did not want to fit down right.

I found out why, if you push down on that little part,

when it is plugged it, IT RUNS.

I think some body did not read the instructions before

throwing them away.

Just like life.

God gave us the instruction manual,

the Holy Bible.  But we will not read it

and wonder why life don't work out right.
