AUGUST 2010 BULLETIN

God Shapes The World By Prayer.

The more praying there is in this world, the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere.

Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed in death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God’s heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; they outlive a generation, outlive an age, out live a world.

The man of many and acceptable prayers has done the truest and greatest service to the incoming generation. The prayers of God’s saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.

God’s house is the house of prayer, God’s work is the work of prayer. It is the zeal for God’s house and the zeal for God’s works that makes God’s house glorious and His work abide. When prayer fails, in the church, the world prevails. When prayer fails, the Church loses its divine characteristics and divine power. We are charged in God’s Word “always to pray …in everything by prayer…continuing instant in prayer, to pray everywhere ……praying always.”
“What? Could you not watch with Me one hour?”

Ezekiel 22:30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

August 2010 is a month of prayer for our nation.

传道人乔治英葛在他书（主的信条）有这么一句："基督徒一生中有三次转变：归信基督，归入教会，关注世人。“这句话实在很有智 慧。转变的第一步，是要深信耶稣基督的奇妙救赎，明白唯有祂能够为我们完成我们白己没有力量做的事。转变的第ニ步， 是那归信基督的经验使我们有了枚利和责任，去和有同样经验和信仰的人交通，成为他们的一份子。转变的第三步是明白我们得救不只为自己的好处，也不只为与信徒合一, 而是要负超更大的责任，惦记着世人的需要，把福音传给他们。

你们寻求我若专心寻求我就必寻見
~ 耶 29：13

Assurance In Jesus

May Jesus assure you that as you follow Him…

you’ll never meet a fear He cannot conquer,

you’ll never face an enemy He cannot defeat,

you’ll never enter a battle He cannot win,

you’ll never have a need He cannot meet,

you’ll never face a temptation He can’t overcome,

you’ll never have a burden He cannot lift,

you will never face a problem He cannot solve,

you’ll never have a bondage He cannot break,

you’ll never have a moment when He doesn’t care,

you’ll never have a time when He is not there.

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me

[I am ready for anything and equal to anything

through Him Who infuses inner strength into me;

I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

Philippians 4:13

THE SECRET

The Secret One day, one friend asked another,

"How is it that you are always so happy?

You have so much energy,

And you never seem to get down.

With her eyes smiling, she said,

"I know the Secret!"

"What secret is that?"

To which she replied,

"I'll tell you all about it,

But you have to promise to Share the Secret with others."

"The Secret is this:

I have learned there is little I can do In my life that will make me truly happy.

I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs.

When a need arises in my life,

I have to trust God to supply According to HIS riches.

I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do.

He has never let me down.

Since I learned that 'Secret',

I am happy.

The questioner's first thought was,

"That's too simple!"

But upon reflecting over her own life.

She recalled how she thought...

a bigger house Would make her happy,

but it didn't!

She thought a better paying job....

Would make her happy, but it hadn't.

When did she realize her greatest happiness?

Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,

Playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,

A simple gift from God.

Now you know it too!

We can't depend on people to make us happy.

Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.

Trust HIM!

And now I pass the Secret on to you!

So once you get it, what will you do?

YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!

That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!

But it's not really a secret...

We just have to believe it and do it...

Really trust God!

GOD LOVES US DEARLY...

Do not give in into sadness or depression for what you are going through today.

God knows how you feel……..

God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.

God’s purpose for you is simply perfect.

He wants to show you things that only you can understand by living what you are living, and by being in the place you are now.

May God give you….

For every storm, a rainbow,

For every tear, a smile,

For every care, a promise,

And a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,

A faithful friend to share,

For every sigh, a sweet song,

And an answer for each prayer.

Some Church Wits That Can Be Conveyed Through Humors ...

** There was a church that had problems with the outsiders parking in its lots, so the parishers put up a sign:

"CHURCH CAR PARK - FOR MEMBERS ONLY

TRESPASSERS WILL BE BAPTIZED!"

That took care of the problem!

** No God - No peace?

Know God - Know Peace.

** Searching for a new look?

Have your faith lifted here!

** Dusty Bibles lead to dirty lives.

** It is unlikely there will be

a reduction in the wages of sin.

** Do not wait for the hearse to take you to the church.

** Running low on faith? Step in for a fill up.

** If you can't sleep, don't count sheep,

Talk to the Shepherd.

** In the dark...

Follow the Son.

** This is the church. What is missing?

YOU ARE

** Looking at the way some people live.

They ought to obtain eternal fire insurance soon.

** How will you spend eternity -

Smoking or Non-Smoking?

For you who have stop by,

GOD BLESS YOU

AMEN
