May We Not Be Part Of The Mess


"To act like the rest
Makes you part of the mess.
To be salt
Where there is no taste,
And be light
In a gloomy place,
We must be so unlike
The seething throng
Who as slaves are held
In the senseless grip
Of the need to fight
Wrong with wrong.
To act like others
Is to let them smother
Your light
And kill your fire
Until you are cold and dark,
Just like others.

How could you ever get even,
When in Acts you read of Stephen,
Who forgave while being stoned
And the Lord rose from his throne
To honor a forgiver
Whose love flowed as a river
That would never be stopped;
Who lived as a giver
Till the moment he dropped;
Only to be raised,
And for endless days,
Crowned with heavenly praise?

There’s no better way
To make the devil’s day
Than to fight for right
The wrong way.
There’s no greater way
To multiply evil
Than to try to stop evil
By acting like the devil.
When you come against sin
In the lives of others,
You either act like the Son
Or the devil has won.

We need a way
That’s better still;
That makes the supernatural real.
So lift your eyes even higher,
Through the clouds
Of heroes that inspire;
Go beyond human feats
Till your eyes meet
Your glorious Savior.

This does not mean
An end to pain;
Christ will lead you
Through the flame;
He’ll take you to the cross,
Where, like him,
You’ll suffer shame
And temporary loss,
To win eternal fame."

By Colette Guindon

Was It The Lightning or God


My Wife directed our children's Christmas program today and she couldn't find any wings for her angel Kelsey Groll, so she prayed asking God for help in finding some wings. At the second practice, the lightning was used and she heard someone say " Look she has wings" and there they were. God answered the prayer. Thank you God for the Awesome wings. You never know how God will answer your prayers, but He aways does.

I'm convinced it was the light of God
that made those wings...
I can see the outline of feathers.

Be a Caleb


Do Not Listen To Others Who Choose To Fear the Giants.

Be a Caleb... do not fear the giants before you...
focus on the power of God and walk in His promises.

Tune out the negative voices of doubt
and possess what God wants you to inherit.

You are close to a special victory that the Lord has for you...
walk out from the crowd and grab hold of Jesus...
then tell the giants in your life to leave.

Choose to believe His Word,
and He will do what others say is impossible
and lead you into your promise land. (Numbers 14)
