Worldly thinking claims to be the search for truth.

On 11/25, Bishop Johnson said:

"We become obsessed with knowing things but we don't live it out .... we get full on knowledge but are not able to live in it."

"Real evidence of how much you love HIM is not in how you shout, how you run around the church, not in churchy phrases (e.g. "I blessed"), but in your obedience to God."

Thank you for Coming to the 34/39 Fellowship @ The Lamplight Resource Center

We're so glad that so many of you joined us for cookies, fruit, juice, and fellowship at the Lamplight Resource Center this past Sunday, Nov. 18! We were able to meet 34/39 members after both the 7:45 and the 10:45 services. Please note that you will still be able to use your invitations for 10% off items in the Resource Center this Sunday!

Psalm 103, Bless The Lord, O My Soul, and Forget Not (always remember) HIS Benefits

The text for the Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2007 Thanksgiving service was Psalm 103. Bishop Johnson reminded us to "always remember" God's benefits. The full text for this Psalm is in the comment below. We are taught to especially remember the first five verses:

1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not (always remember!) all his benefits:

3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4Who redeemeth (rescues) thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

(Provides unusual favor, unprecedented honor!)

5Who satisfieth thy mouth (life) with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

NOTE: Words in parentheses reflect Bishop Johnson's emphasis.

Save the Date: Jan. 13, 2008!
