Friends,

Winter has passed! Spring has sprung! And it is of my opinion...
that Summer has already begun!
Soon the gleeful voices of children both young and old, will echo through the cabinet mountains.
In just weeks Elohim will overflow with boys and girls of all ages, desperate for the solid Truth our hearts so long to hear.
How can I possibly express the joy, the thrill, the excitement, the anticipation my heart feels at this very moment?

I am blessed to serve such a magnificent and glorious God!

Practicing the Presence of God

"Only the blood of Jesus Christ could cleanse us of sin. For this reason, we should strive to love Him with all of our hearts."

"Neither skill nor knowledge is needed to go to God. All that is necessary is a heart dedicated entirely and solely to Him out of love for Him above all others."

"The Church's only road to the perfection of Christ is faith... we must give ourselves totally to God, in both temporal and spiritual affairs. Our only happiness should come from doing Gods will, whether it brings us some pain or great pleasure. After all, if we're truly devoted to doing God's will pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us. We also need to be faithful, even in dry periods. It is during those dry spells that God tests our love for Him. We should take advantage of those times to practice our determination and our surrender to Him. This will often bring us to maturity further on in our walk with God."

Fruitful in the Knowledge of Christ

2 Peter 1: 3-10

According as his devine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the devine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

For if these things be in you, an abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, ye shall never fall...
