I want to close with this poem by Lois Reynolds Carpenter, entitled “Second Birth”.
I never loved the pleasant earth
So much as since my second birth.
The shy forget-me-not’s soft blue
Seems bits of Heaven shining through.
The golden buttercup’s bright face
Proclaims the glory of His grace.

Ah, what an easy job is his,
The man who’s in the preaching biz!
He has but little work to do,
For all he does the whole week through
Is just to call upon the flock
As regularly as the clock;
To cheer the sick who groan in bed,
To preach a sermon for the dead;
To teach the sinner righteousness,

And Jesus Loved Them All------
I saw a sea of faces in a dream I had one day
and millions stood before a throne
whose sins were washed away
from every tribe and every land
they all had heard the call
the rich, the poor, the black, the white
and Jesus loved them all.
He loved them with their many

Not of Works
Grace, triumphant in the throne,
Scorns a rival, reigns alone;
Come and bow beneath her sway!
Cast your idol works away!
Works of man, when made his plea,
Never shall accepted be;
Fruits of pride (vain-glorious worm!)
Are the best he can perform.
Self, the god his soul

Can you imagine what the world will be like 100 years from now if the Lord tarries His return?
All you have to do is to have some idea what the world will be like is to just look back 100 years and consider what the world was like then… and consider the incredible rate of change that we’ve

There seems to be an attitude among many people, both Christians and non-Christians. It’s an attitude that demands things of God.
They try to order God around like He’s their servant or something.
“Do this, God. I claim that, God. (Even if there is nothing in Scripture to back up what they’re

Martin of Tours was a Roman soldier and a Christian. One cold winter day, as he was entering a city, a beggar stopped him and asked for alms. Martin had no money; but the beggar was blue and shivering with cold, and Martin gave what he had. He took off his soldier’s coat, worn and frayed as it was;
