Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is family day on this line, and we need to pray for families. At the very top of that list of families should be the family of God. Please also pray for healing for the Saylor family, pray for Don, Eleanor, Sharon and Robert ... all need a touch. Never have I seen a family who love God any more than this family. Pray that the ride comes for Bob. God is working on this, keep praying. Pray also for Vicki and her family. And please, please pray for my dear wife Dolores. She has so much pain and the doctors say they cannot do a thing for this. So we place it in the hands of God. Also pray for all the families on this line.
Preamble, Constitution, Bible 4:
Mark 16: 15 - He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." (NIV)
Other words for this might be "Couriers" "Carry The Light" "Great Commission".
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. This is part of the BILL OF RIGHTS and was ratified effective December 15, 1791:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the FREE EXERCISE there of; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Not one place in that Amendment does it say ONE WORD ABOUT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. Not one word!!! Not even a whisper. Which means to me that to "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" means we can go into schools and pray and pray and pray. Our kids can read the Bible at lunch and tell others about Jesus. For the past two years Carry The Light Ministries was blocked, turned down, from singing in Willow Mill Park, located 2 tenths of a mile from our home. We can rent the park and sing if it is private, but for the public fall arts thingy we were told ... "We cannot have you due to the separation of church and state". I am going to apply again this year and if turned down, I am going to fight it. The same township who turned us down on this took our donations to purchase 8 bikes for their Cops and Kids program, and also a big donation to purchase a defib unit for their office. That is ok, but don't you dare sing in the park.
I think if we are turned down we should have a picnic in our yard and have a gospel sing. Our speakers would cover the park down the street. Ok, you can see that I get upset about things like this, and brothers and sisters, we need to not turn our backs when people say we can't be at a place. We need to go and be a witness, we need to spread the word of our Lord Jesus, and we need to remind people that the laws of this land, and I will go over some of them tomorrow, are based on the commandments given by God ... yes they are.
Brothers and Sisters, it is time we take a stand for Jesus and not turn and run. The day will come when if we love Jesus we will be asked that question, and if we tell people we might just be killed for it. I am ready for that, are you?? How strong is your love for Jesus? Do you have him in your heart? Would you die for Him? Think about it ...
Dear Father in Heaven, I love You and I want to work for You where You send me. Use us, dear Lord, thanks for this line and the outreach it makes. Thanks for school teachers that still to this day take Jesus into the schools. Lord bless our families, bless the Saylor Family and the family of Vicki. Lord, most of all, help us to work and enlarge the family of God. Help us to lead the lost to Your feet. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Brothers and sisters, our Lord tells us to tell the good news to others, it is just one way of sharing your blessings. When you share your blessings with others, when you share your love with others, you are indeed reaching out for Jesus. Keep working for Jesus ... and know that I really love you, dan.
