As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so you will be.
Prepare, my friend, to follow me!

Again Dr. Marc T. Newman writes, "There would not be much drama, however, if no one were in peril in a pirate film. There is plenty of swordplay, and a ship-crunching Kraken lurks in the deep, but such threats can only harm one’s body. The real danger lies in risking one’s soul. Dead Man’s Chest

Each ministry has an individual message for the body of Christ (spiritual food for a well-rounded diet in order to make the body healthy). In days past the church’s religionist didn’t allow for the full ministry but basically accepted the Pastor, Teacher, and Evangelist.

Blind skiers were featured in the 1988 winter Olympics. How did they ski being blind? They were paired with sighted skiers who would simply yell, "LEFT" or "RIGHT" when the time came to turn, and the blind skiers obeyed without question! Their obedience brought reward. When we cannot see what God

Give Me New England!
For three days Edwards had not eaten a mouthful of food: for three nights he had not closed his eyes in sleep. Over and over again, he had been saying to God, "Give me New England! Give me New England!" and when he arose from his knees, and made his way into the pulpit they say

YOUR FIRST LOVE
Remember your first love? That innocent time in life when you had fallen "head over heels" for someone? Knowing it is the right thing to do you went to her/him and confessed your undying love; only to be told how much they "like" you as a friend. Jesus must feel that way at times.

THE LITTLE CHAP WHO FOLLOWS ME
A careful man I want to be,
A little fellow follows me;
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he’ll go the self-same way.
I cannot escape his eyes.
Whate’er he sees me do he tries.

That little chap who follows me.
I must remember as I
