Jesus
paints a beautiful illustration of just who our neighbors are. They are
not just the guy next door, or the house over the hill top - Our
neighbors are you and I, they are in Argentina, India, Mauritania, all
around the globe.
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and
wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw
him, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him,
and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he
saw him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and
set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of
him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them
to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou
spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that
fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go,
and do thou likewise. Luke 10:29 - 37- 37,
You
are in for a BLESSING as you browse these pages. The Lord works in mysterious ways and sometimes not so mysterious, and if he can speak to
his people through an old stubborn mule (Numbers 22 : 21-30),
HE can and will use the Internet for his glory as well.
If we ALL would
just follow the leading the Lord Jesus and allow the
leading of Christ’s Spirit to guide our every step, this world would
be a much better place to live in. You are our neighbors and we thank
God for every one of you.
The Lord spoke these words to me one evening
a few years ago, “IF YOU WILL BE
FAITHFUL, I WILL DO A WONDERFUL THING IN YOU AND THROUGH YOU”.
That is the same thing God is saying to all of humanity across the
fruited plains of America and the world. From sea to shining sea, God is calling
HIS church to be
FAITHFUL. There are rewards and there is favor to those who are faithful to the
voice of the Lord.
God has great things in store for those that love and OBEY HIM
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever
shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy
name be joyful in thee. Psalms 5:11
Could you imagine that - almighty God HIMSELF defending you? The
bible further declares that if God be for you, WHO could be against you?
I will gladly answer that for you, “NO BODY”! NOBODY can be against the
faithful children of the Lord.
As you look through the pages of this webs site, it is our prayer and
hope that you will come to know CHRIST JESUS as your Savior
and. your Lord. If you are already Born Again, John 3:3, than we
know you will be further blessed and built up in HIM as you visit
