In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
“For God so
loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to
save the world through Him.”
“I am the
way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me.”
Good
Thursday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is a BEAUTIFUL day here at
the Southern Location of the North Pole.
Today is the day we pray for churches, schools, and families. As schools let out for the summer, keep the
prayers going and pray for Vacation Bible Schools. Please also pray for the eyesight of Art, and
also of Mark. Let’s get to the message
of today!
Building a
Bridge: Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth.
John 3:16 – “For
God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes
in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son
into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”
John 14:6 – “I
am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.” (NIV)
Do you
notice something about the scriptures on the messages, something that seems to
run on the same subject? “The Scriptures
are about Faith and Love.” That is true
also about the scriptures today, they are about love …
Let me ask
you a question! Have you ever watched a
bridge being built, a nice new bridge that is to replace an older bridge? Maybe the older bridge is worn or cannot
handle the heavy traffic or the volume of traffic. Maybe you watch as it happens and then the
big day comes and some politician who has spent OUR money on the bridge comes
out and cuts a ribbon. The new bridge is
open … What happens to the old one, well in some cases they “blow them up”,
even if they could have been used for local traffic or a bridge for walkers or
bike (pedal type) riders to use. In some
areas, maybe that old bridge could be used by the Amish folks so they would be
safer in their travels. But no, the
bridge is thrown away. Do you remember
back to the beginning of my messages on building a bridge how I talked about
building a bridge between you and your neighbor instead of building
fences? Maybe you built a new bridge to
a new neighbor and it is carrying that traffic wonderfully, BUT you left one of
the old bridges get away from you, you forgot about that old friend. Wow, that reminds me of a song from my Bible School
days. “Make new friends and keep the
old, one is silver and the other gold.”
Tomorrow we are going to build the bridge from Earth to Heaven … Please
bring a blank piece of paper with you, and a pen or something to write and/or
draw with … Let’s pray!!
Dear Father
in Heaven, I love You. Thank You again
and again for the messages that You place on my mind to write, all honor and
glory to You. Please be in our schools
as they end for the year and then in our churches and the Vacation Bible
Schools. And Lord, bless our families
and bless all those who work with the families of Carry The Light
ministries. Please be with Ron, Dolores,
Vicki, Noah, Joann, and others who need that healing hand. And Lord, please restore the sight for Art and
Mark. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
