Dear Father in Heaven: I love You. Please forgive me for sins I have done even if I did not know I did them. Thanks for watching over this line and all that use it. Thanks for the baby girl born to LeaAnne and Brian and all glory to You for their health. As I pray this day I ask that You protect people on this holiday and also protect all those services that will be coming this week as we have services for those who lost their lives years ago on September 11th. Father in Heaven, please help me now with the message and to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, God has blessed LeaAnne and Brian Clugston with a beautiful baby girl. LeaAnne is the daughter of Grant and Wanda Crockett and I was blessed to marry LeaAnne and Brian a few years back. I had a request from Pat Stauffer that we pray for a memorial service coming on September 8th in Myerstown. That has my mind saying we need to be really praying for our nation this week. Even moreso than we do daily.
Two police officers ambushed last night. One was shot, the other CAUGHT THE SHOOTER. In Harrisburg, PA. A gang of young punks tore up a store and lots of cars on Saturday evening including the police chief's personal car. One of the young kids shot himself. He was not hurt bad but will not talk to police. Another person was shot on the 400 block of Market Street in downtown Harrisburg. PRAY FOR PEACE, brothers and sisters, please pray for peace. Let me get to the message, Laboring.
Labor Day Monday: September 7, 2015: Laboring (Day Two)
Note: When I wrote yesterday about laboring, I had no knowledge that LeaAnne was laboring to deliver their baby.
2 Thessalonians 3:6 - In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you have received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, LABORING and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. (NIV)
Let's look at the scripture God gave me for today. Brothers and sisters, it tells us we are to stay away from those who are idle, meaning those who will not work. Let me say there is a difference between those who will not work and those who cannot work. We need to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves, but those who just will not work, we should stay clear of them. The Bible is clear about those who WILL NOT work, saying they should not eat. Here in America we are nearing the point where we have more people in the cart than pulling or pushing on it. So on this Labor Day I say to all of you that are in the car, try and get out and help pull it or push it. Most everyone can do something!!
Dear Father in Heaven, give us the strength we need to help take care of ourselves and also help take care of some who cannot take care of themselves. Please watch over Your children on the roads today. And Lord, bless this house please and help us always let You stand over it. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth serving Jesus. Love ya.
Pastor Dan
