And as You promised, we know You are here.

The Lord's Prayer





Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy Name,

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

Declaration Of Faith



The Apostles' Creed



This historic affirmation of faith comes to us from the early centuries of the Christian church.

MP3 audio file at http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/binaries/apostlescreed.mp3 - free, Public Domain



I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;

Born of the Virgin Mary,

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell;

The third day he rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven

And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit;

The holy catholic church; *

The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins;

The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting.



Amen.





* Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of

believers in Christ, not just one particular church.











Featured Segment . . .



At the day of Judgment, each of us will be called on to give an account of his life to God.



Matthew 12:36 (RSV)

"I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every

careless word they utter;"



Romans 3:19 (RSV)

"Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are

under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole

world may be held accountable to God"



Romans 14:12 (RSV)

"So each of us shall give account of himself to God."



1 Peter 4:5 (RSV)

"but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the

living and the dead."







May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.

Poem - With audio reading plus music video

"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me," - by Fanny J. Crosby



ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875

- Public Domain -





All the way my Saviour leads me;

What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His faithful mercies,

Who through life has been my guide?

Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,

Here by faith in Him do dwell;

For I know whate'er befall me,

Jesus doeth all things well.



All the way my Saviour leads me,

Cheers each winding path I tread;

Gives me strength for every trial,

Feeds me with the living bread.

Though my weary steps may falter,

And my soul athirst may be,

Gushing from the Rock before me,

Lo, a spring of joy I see.



All the way my Saviour leads me,

O the fullness of His love!

Perfect rest to me is promised,

In my Father's house above;

When my spirit, clothed immortal,

Wings its flight to realms of day,

This my song through endless ages:

"Jesus led me all the way."

Prayer For You



Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I speak

it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it is the same

as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.

(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch

them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)







"Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough"



"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine

own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)





Your intellect alone is not enough

To guide you through this life you have on earth;

For many of the world's most brilliant men

Are lost, like drunkards stumbling through the night.



But once the Holy Spirit dwells in you,

He lights your path, illuminates the dark,

He gives you answers to your deepest quests,

Where intellect alone would surely fail.



And so I pray the Lord will dwell in you,

And let His holy presence guide your life.

Then if you ask your mind for its assent

Your mind will cheerfully affirm His truths.



In Jesus' name I pray for you, Amen.

Holy Communion

A ceremony for Holy Communion is available to you HERE! - http://patriot.net/~bmcgin/pearl-holycommunion.html

If you are alone, you will needed to be both "Leader" and "Assembly," as described in the ceremony.



How To Find A Real, Live Church

An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real, live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church, so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by clicking HERE! - http://patriot.net/~bmcgin/findachurch.html

Benediction



I pray the Lord that He will lead your path

Away from the temptations all around.

I pray that when temptation lingers near,

The Lord will lead you not into its reach.

But if temptation grabs you as you pass,

I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.

In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.







Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
