God's Eternal Faithfulness to HIS People
Haggai 2:7b I will fill this temple with glory

(1978 October to October 2009)

The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. "And in this place I will give peace", say the LORD of host.

In choosing to put GOD first, the little community had placed itself on the one path that led to the blessing GOD was eager to bestow.

Let us not be concerned because this church does not have gold and silver as Solomon's temple had [v8]. [v9] It shall have more glory than Solomon's. [Ecclesiastes 7:10] Say not thou that the former days were better than these. The encouragement given be strong and work, for I am with you.

Where CHRIST is, behold a greater than Solomon is there, so the heart in which he dwells, and makes a living temple, is more glorious than Solomon's temple and will be so to eternity.

GOD is asking His people to build a place for His glory to dwell. In Haggai's day, that building was a physical one. Today the 'building' is to take place in our hearts and lives both individually and cooperatively as the church. GOD desires to pour greater glory on and through His children so that the peoples of the Nations will come to JESUS, the Desire of All Nations. [v7].

Committee to the LORD to be a person in whom His glory can dwell and through whom His glory can be made manifest.

Rev. Rachel (Senior Pastor)

The Christian Cartoons With The Joyful Message





Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent ...and so very appropriate.


A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spent more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talked too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but nor inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted our soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice..
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and the a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember, to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak!
And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Talking is something we all can do, but being pleasant takes real talent. ~ Clyde and Dee Kilough


Pleasant Tongues

All of us have experienced the comfort and soothing effect of kind and gentle words (Proverbs 25:11). Our teachers, parents, coaches, and friends have helped us from time to time. Remembering those pleasant moments is a key to developing the ability to passion wholesome and encouraging words to others. "A wholesome tongue is a free of life," says Proverbs 15:4.

You can be that tongue -- all of us an choose to think about the words we say and say how they affect others. The most marvelous thing is that this ability to choose is a great benefit for us too. The benefits that we give to others come back to us many times over.
