So I removed them, keep the linens in the drawers below and now have a bookcase/display shelves, a nice update and feature.</span></span></i></span><br />

<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It is with a broken heart that I have to say that Little Rylen Lynch, now 6 has gone home to the Lord today. He is in the arms of Jesus. My tears are flowing. Rylen was truly an angel, a walking, talking miracle who was born with hydrocephalis. He was born the last year of my husband's life when he was fighting cancer and we looked forward to seeing Rylen's progress. Rylen was not supposed to live at all as he had little brain matter at all and his parents were told he would not survive the first hours. But this little guy and the Lord knew better. With many many medical problems, despite having a shunt in his brain, Rylen thrived, learned to walk and talk and sing and his smile was worth everything!!</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">The world has lost a precious soul and Heaven has gained a beautiful Angel. I pray that I will meet him in Heaven one day and kiss his little face in he new, perfect body. God bless his parents, Reagan and Alicia Lynch who never gave up. Rylen became ill starting with an ear ache and then his brain swelled and the Lord took him home.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Rylen, brought JOY to my life and many, many others in his short life and his little sister will miss him as well as thousands of others who followed his amazing life. Never give up hope..... I love you Rylen. You can find Rylen's story on Facebook under Alicia Wescott Lynch.</span></em><br />

Hydrocephalus. The Drs did not expect him to make it, but through
thousands praying Rylen is thriving.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Remember that we go to a Church building to fellowship with other Christians, to enlighten and encourage one another and to hear the Word of God. But the CHURCH is the PEOPLE not the building. And God hears his People anywhere they speak His name. </i></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> https://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/bible-study-course/bible-study-course-lesson-10/the-church-is-not-the-building</i></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In the Bible the word <i> church</i> is a translation of the Greek word <i> ekklesia</i>
, meaning “a calling out.” It never refers to a building or meeting
place, but always to people, the ones “called out” of the world’s
society by God calling them into His service. The <i> Church</i> of the Bible is not a cold, stone building, but a group of warm and loving people specially chosen by God.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In the Scriptures <i> church</i> can refer to the group of
believers in a particular location, such as a city or region, or to the
entire body of believers God has called.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> So a building with no worshipers cannot really be a church in the
biblical sense. The New Testament Church is a group of people called out
of this world’s society by God, even if they meet in a rented hall or
on a grassy hillside. For example, the apostle Paul greeted the
church—the congregation of people—that met in the house of Priscilla and
Aquila in Rome (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" data-reveal-id="modal-Romans_16_3-5_19149000" data-reveal="" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="Romans_16_3-5_19149000">Romans 16:3-5</a>).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> When Jesus said, “… I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" data-reveal-id="modal-Matthew_16_18_20246900" data-reveal="" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="Matthew_16_18_20246900">Matthew 16:18</a>),
He was saying the Church—<span style="color: magenta;">His chosen people</span>—would not die out. It would
be alive-a warm and caring body of believers striving to serve God, do
His work and support each other. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">So attend church to hear the word, be NOURISHED in His word and fellowship with one another but always remember that you can talk to Jesus and His Father anywhere, anytime, any place. Peace be with you and come again soon.</span></span></span></span><br />

I am a Christian, A certified Bible Bethel Bible Teacher, and a Christian Counselor who is often asked about how God forgives sins and does one have to keep on confessing the same sin to be forgiven. This Daily Bread article is an excellent source for understanding how God forgives our sins and that he actually thinks of them no more once confessed!

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>In the old Testament, God's stiff-necked people refused to follow His word and during the festival time they would sacrifice a lamb, ram or goat in atonement for their sins. Hence the saying "a scapegoat", some one or some thing that you blame for all your sin and troubles. The Goat was then sent into the wilderness and his partner was sacrificed. So God the father brought forth an earthly human Son, born of Mary, for the sole purpose of sacrificing Him once and for all, DYING for the sins of all mankind so that we might be saved and have eternal life with our Father in Heaven.</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>What a painful act to lose your only begotten Son so that we might live! Could you sacrifice one of your children for the world?? Yet this is what God did for us. Understand that Jesus was in Heaven with His father long before he came to earth and be born of an earthly Mother. He was always there and always will be there seated beside the Father and of His kingdom, there will be no end.....</i></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Do you not want to live in the Heavenly home that the Father has provided for us? You can accept his Son Jesus right now by praying to Jesus, inviting Him into your heart and dwell there. In doing this you will be BORN AGAIN, because you have changed. The old is gone the New has come. John 3:1-7 If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The old is gone, the new hath come."</i></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Amazing! I remember when I first became born again in the early 1980's. I actually was watching one of those TV preachers in the middle of the afternoon. The man on the screen said, "Won't you pray with me?" And I did, and I was and I am born again! I jumped right up off of the couch and claimed Jesus for my own! If you had ever told me I would be doing this, I would have said you were crazy! Ha! But God knew the time and the place and just at that moment, I was ready to receive Him. Wow, still makes my adrenalin flow just remembering that! I found a Bible teaching church that I am still a member of and continue to be blessed in numerous ways.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Look above and dry thy tears"</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Trust In Him, He'll never fail"</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Sinful soul thy debt is paid" Jesus paid the price on the cross once and for ALL, for you, for me. So that we may have everlasting life. We could never have justified ourselves so God did it for us by sacrificing His only Son. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Each week when our praise team sings at church, I am filled with the spirit and thankfulness that Jesus died for us. At this special time of year for Christians, we celebrate the Resurrection on the 3rd day after the death of Jesus on the Cross when he is Resurrected from the grave. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ask questions if you do not understand, sometimes the Bible as written, is difficult to understand. But once you delve into God's words, all will be made clear. We cannot ADD TO nor TAKE away anything that is written in the Bible. It is God's word.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Remember when you were little and your Mom or Dad told you to do something and you asked, "why?" Because I said so! would be the reply. Well, we need to heed and read God's word because GOD SAID SO! Listen to the inspiring video I posted in the sidebar and please worship at your church this Sunday. Invite a friend, relative, anyone you wish to share the word of God with and be nourished in these trying times we live it. It is difficult out there but God will carry us through...</span><br />

For <a href="http://www.christianity.com/" style="color: #3399cc;">Christians</a>, Good Friday is a crucial day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation. Paul considered it to be “of first importance” that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and was raised to life on the third day, all in accordance with what God had promised all along in the Scriptures (<a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?t=esv&q=1co+15:3" style="color: #3399cc;">1 Corinthians 15:3</a>).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Good Friday we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (<a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?t=esv&q=1jo+1:10" style="color: #3399cc;">1 John 1:10</a>). It is followed by Easter, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead, heralding his victory over sin and death and pointing ahead to a future </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">resurrection for all who are united to him by faith (<a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?t=esv&q=ro+6:5" style="color: #3399cc;">Romans 6:5</a>).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Ultimately Jesus gave up his life for our sins! In the Old Testament under Jewish Law, a sacrifice of an animal was offered for sin. Jesus was the one and only perfect sacrifice for our sins so that we may live in eternity with the Lord and His only begotten Son. Jesus said no one could come to the Father but through Him. </i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding: 12px 0px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="line-height: 20px;">Have you made a commitment to God? Have you invited Jesus into your heart, do you know how to? When you pray inviting Jesus into your heart, and accept Him, that is when you are born again, meaning you start a new life in Christ. </span></i></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="line-height: 20px;">I became born again in the 1980's while watching a TV Evangelist by praying that prayer. If anyone had ever told me I would be doing that, I would have said "no way!" But God was working in my life and in my family's life all at once. God can use anyone or anything as His instrument. I actually jumped for joy at the moment! And I could not wait to tell everyone and any one!</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: blue;">I had previously been a Catholic and only knew an intercessional relationship to a punishing God who was unapproachable. If you </span><span style="color: magenta;">add</span><span style="color: blue;"> anything to Jesus' dying on the Cross so we could be saved by Grace, you deny His sacrifice. You CAN have a personal relationship with God and Jesus, praying directly to them. God has blessed me so much in these last 30 years after inviting Jesus into my heart! </span></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: blue;">Bow your head where you are right now and invite the Savior into your heart and accept God's gift of Salvation. You do not have to start clouting people with a 2 x 4" to tell them about the Lord, just try to set a good example and God will give you the words to say when you have opportunity to share and invite. Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound! ♫ ♫ I think this is one of the most popular Hymns ever written.</span></span></i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel, Verdana, sans-serif; margin-top: -1em;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” </span><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: -1em;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="line-height: 23px;">It was a practice of people's of the east to cover the ground that someone of high honor was walking on. You can see this happening in the Bible with king Jehu when the people lay their garments before him in 2 Kings 9:13. In Matthew and Mark's gospels only tree branches and clothes are described as being laid before Jesus. John is the only author who specifies "Palm" branches.</span><span style="line-height: 23px;"> </span></i></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;">The idea is the same though: The people were honoring</span></i></span><div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"> Jesus the way they would honor a king. So to answer the question of why the people lay palm branches before Jesus we have to ask what the people thought of Jesus to make them honor him in this way.</span></i></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e2233; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 800; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"><i>So the best way to understand the Bible is to read it more and more. If the formal translations confuse you, buy a copy of "THE BOOK" published by Tyndale House (any bookstore) as it is a comprehensive Bible written in plain language that you will understand. I use it as a wonderful cross reference to bible reading as it does not take the place of the Bible but rather makes you want to read the original after reading the plain text. The Book also has many helps such as how to prayer for specific needs which is very helpful when you are in a situation and do not know how to pray for that specifically.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But I think this is encouraging in this present day when they won't let us pray at school or say the Pledge of Allegiance because it says, "One Nation under God". We took pride in saying the pledge each morning and it taught us to love out country and be loyal.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: blue;">Isaiah 40:31 is one of my most favorite verses. </span><span style="color: magenta;">♥</span></i></span><br />

I have an elderly friend, even older than me-ha! She, knowing this was my favorite verse, printed it for me in calligraphy and framed it for me.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: blue;">What is your favorite verse? What inspires you and reinforces your faith? Surround yourself with reminders of God, His wisdom, His great works, His never-ending love, His Grace and Goodness. When you surround yourself in the Word of God, you will find comfort, hope, strength to face anything that comes your way. For if God is with us, who can be against us? Another favorite!

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:28-31</span><br />

<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">As for me, I want to resolve that I will have the courage of my convictions to speak up for the Lord when in situations that I am uncomfortable in, to simply state that a person's vulgar language offends me. This has been a bone of contention for me for a long, long time as I have both family, friends and acquaintances who use profanity as a normal part of their conversations. This is soooo unnecessary. Can you imagine the Lord speaking in such a manner?</span></em><br />

<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">What offends you, how will you deal with it in the New Year? I will pray for guidance and courage. We all have a choice, do we continue in a behavior or speech that is offensive to others and the Lord, or do we take control and with God's help, set it aside not to be taken up in our minds and hearts again.</span></em><br />

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Matthew 15:11, 17-20</span></div>

<h4>
Curse Words Reveal the Condition of a Man’s Heart</h4>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_17745" style="width: 93px;">
<img alt="What the Bible says about cursing, swearing & profanity" class=" wp-image-17745 " height="64" src="http://bibleresources.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/millers-pix.jpg" width="83" /><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">
Pastors Bud and Betty Miller on Cursing, Swearing & Profanity</div>
</div>
<div align="left">
Jesus taught in the Bible that when a man curses or uses profanity it is a sign of evil that was in that man’s heart. It is popular today for both men and women to curse. They never think of it as an evil condition in their heart, but rather a small thing that everyone does. These small words of cursing the Bible says, will defile the whole man if they are not repented of and stopped. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Cussing and using the name of the Lord in vain causes one to become defiled</span>.</div>
<div align="left">
Popular movies and TV are responsible for causing society to accept foul language as the “norm.” They portray cursing as a way to vent anger and tell people off. The very attitudes behind cursing show that it is not right as cussing is used to demean and put down people. These words can be mild expletives to horrible blasphemies. Since the devil is the one who inspires these evil utterances he causes people to use our Lord’s name in the most ungodly ways.</div>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">In the modern definition of cursing, usually people use the name of Jesus or God in vain and swear with curses such as “go to hell” or “damn you.” These words clearly show it is an evil coming from the devil.</span> Have you ever wondered why people do not use the names of gods of other religions when they curse? The names that the devil hates and uses people to voice hateful curses are “God,” “Christ,” “Jesus Christ” and “Jesus.” Terms about hell and heaven are also used in derogatory ways. The very misuse of these words should prove the existence of God and the reality of a heaven and hell.<br />
Even Christians have been tricked into using bad expressions when they are upset. They are take-offs of the Lord’s names such as: “Geeze” or “Jes” (short for Jesus), “Good Gosh,” “Gosh Darn,” “Lordy.” This is known as “shoot cussin.” There are other terms used, which we will not repeat, as they are vulgar profanities. However, these illustrations make the point.<br />
Many good movies have been ruined for Christians because the script writers thought adding profane language (which they refer to as adult language) somehow made the movie more realistic. Neither adults nor children should use bad language if we are to be like our Lord. We do not have to use curse words to emphasize our intentions.<br />
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Colosians 3:8-10</span></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matthew 5:37</div>

If swearing and cursing have been a problem in your life ask the Lord to forgive you and deliver you so that your words may be good and loving words full of grace and truth. He will help you overcome this problem through His power.<br />
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:34-36</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Psalm 19:14</span></div>

My home church is growing spiritually with enthusiastic members moving in areas of outreach and music ministries as well as deciding on a new permanent pastor. This Autumn has been especially beautiful and warm for this area of Central NY and I am thankful that I moved soon enough to enjoy the fall colors, sights and sounds.</span></em><br />

What a lovely thought! Do you take time to listen with your heart and mind so that the Lord can enter in? Do you remember the excitement of first inviting Jesus into your heart and feeling filled with the spirit? If you have not yet invited Jesus, do it now. You can have that wonderul feeling of oneness with God, you need only to ask...</div>

When through the woods and forest glades I wander<br />And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;<br />When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur<br />And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; <br />Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; How great Thou art!<br />How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;<br />How great Thou art! How great Thou art!</div>

In equally moving words, the psalmist David wrote:<br /> “The heavens are telling the glory<br /> of God; and the firmament proclaims<br /> his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech,<br /> and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard;<br /> yet their voice goes out through all the earth,<br /> And their words to the end of the world.”<br /><br />Throughout human history, our poets, psalmists and Christians have seen God's reflection in nature. And they have been inspired to share their visions.</div>

If you have prayer requests, please mention in a comment as great healing has been seen in corporate prayer! Little Rylen is still thriving and a blessing to all who know and love him. He is coming up on a 2nd birthday! His parents are excited about their pending opening of a facility for children who need special care like Rylen. So exciting! </div>
