Bread Day
I made 13 loaves today for a few friends, and then I made one extra loaf for our house church meal.
Endurance
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:12-13
Endurance - noun - To continue, despite fatigue, stress, or other adverse conditions.
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. I Corinthians 9:27
Candy Night
My family doesn't celebrate halloween, but we do give out a nice assortment of candy plus several hundred gospel Chick Tracts.
Praise the Lord by the Imperials
Praise the Lord on Youtube by the Imperials
I listened to this on 8-track way back in 1979 --- sing along and remember to always Praise the Lord.
When you're up against a struggle -- that shatters all your dreams
And your hopes have been cruelly crushed by Satan's manifested schemes
And you feel the urge within you to submit to earthly fears
Don't let the faith you're standing in seem to disappear
Praise the Lord -- He can work through those who praise Him -- Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise -- Praise the Lord
For the chains that seems to bind you
Serve only to remind you -- that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him
Now Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think
That we are paupers when he knows himself we're children of the King
So lift up the mighty shield of faith for the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ has risen so the work's already done
Praise the Lord, He can work through those who praise Him -- Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise -- Praise the Lord
For the chains that seems to bind you
Serve only to remind you -- that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him
When you praise Him
Praise Him, Praise Him
When you praise Him
When you praise Him
When you -- Praise The Lord
Thank God I'm Free
Thank God I'm Free
For a long time I traveled down a long, lonely road
My heart was so heavy, in sin I sank low
Then I heard about Jesus, what a wonderful hour
I'm so glad that I found out
He would bring me out through His saving pow'r
Like a bird out of prison that's taken his flight
Like a blind man that God gave back his sight
Like the poor wretched beggar that's found fortune and fame
I'm so glad that I found out
He would bring me out through His Holy Name
Thank God I'm free, free, free from this world of sin
Washed in the blood of Jesus, I've been born again
Hallelujah, I'm saved, saved, saved by His wonderful grace
I'm so glad that I found out
He would bring me out and show me the way
