The Testimony of a Church – Jim

Jim – A Miracle from God It was December, 1991 when old athletic, painting and building injuries finally took their toll on my back.  I was in constant pain and was diagnosed with a worn-out disc between the C-5 and C-6 vertebrae.  An operation was performed and bone was taken from hip and a bone to bone fusion was performed.  When I woke my first memory was “I am not hurting.” This surgery was a success until January, 1999 when…

Verse of the Day – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 KJV

What?  Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price:  therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Letters from Roscoe – Miss Vickie

Miss Vickie We were on the road heading home and we had stopped in at a Cracker Barrel restaurant for lunch.  It was Sunday and the churches in the local area had just finished their morning worship. The place was slammed. As we were seated, you couldn’t help but notice the frenzied activity of waiters and waitresses rushing in and out of the kitchen.  The noise in the restaurant from all the conversations being carried on was almost deafening.  Our…

Verse of the Day – John 8:12 KJV

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:  he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Genesis – The book of beginnings, Part 5

Genesis The Book of Beginnings Chapter 2:1-6 In chapter 2, God will begin to tell us in more detail about his creation. But we are not given details about everything. Rather, God focuses chapter 2 on His creation of man. This theme is repeated often in the Bible. God first gives a summary account, then follows with the specific application to man. Man, after all, is the reason for God’s creation. Simply put, God begins now to teach us about…

Genesis – The book of beginnings, Part 4

Genesis – The Book of Beginnings Chapter 1: 26-27 God creates man and woman! In these verses we see four astounding revelations: God uses the pronoun “us.” This is the first glimpse we get of the triune God. God is one person, yet is more than one in His action and unity. In Acts 4:24, we see God the Father. In John 1:1-2; and Colossians 1:15-17, we see the Son, Jesus Christ. And in Psalm 104:30 we see the Holy…

Genesis – The book of Beginnings, Part 3

Genesis The Book of Beginnings Chapter 1:6-25 Verses 6-8 God divides the waters. Essentially, God creates a space between the waters. We call the space sky. God leaves the earth covered in water at this point, and He creates the atmosphere surrounding the earth. In its most common form, we refer to this as the creation of dew, clouds, and fog, but moisture in the air we breathe is essential to man’s existence. This completes the Second Day There are…
