Just a suggestion about the pic John. Because your image is large it messes with the page layout and takes up a lot of bandwidth, not to mention that it makes pages load a lot slower for those with slower dial up connections. This image is being given away as a wallpaper so you could download the image, resize it, upload it somewhere on the web, and then link to the resized pic. That would probably make a lot of people happy! If you need help let me know. It's wonderful to see the simple childlike faith of those beautiful African people and how they flock to Jesus. Nice pic.

Something like this might be better:

You do realize you are asking for the impossible, don't you.

Unless we can connect to the Board they actually use up in Heaven!

Sorry, but I am new to posting pictures. I will try not to post such large pictures. I just love to see pictures of the harvest and I thought that other christians might, too.

This is the devotional that I wrote today for all the readers of Worthy News. I thought you might take it to heart as well.

It's time to cut down trees!

Col 3:13-14 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity (agape), which is the bond of perfectness.

After the Civil War, Robert E. Lee visited a Kentucky lady who took him to the remains of a once beautiful old tree in front of her house. There she bitterly cried that its limbs and trunk had been destroyed by Federal artillery fire. She looked to Lee for a word condemning the North or at least sympathizing with her loss. After a brief silence, Lee said, "Cut it down, my dear Madam, and forget it."

The enemy is constantly attacking the body of Messiah. Some of his most effective tactics are anger, bitterness and unforgiveness. Paul wrote that we should never be ignorant of the enemy

We must base our relationships with others on the same criteria that God bases His relationship with us: love, acceptance and forgiveness.

Excellent point George! We need to accept people where they are at and if we don't agree with their views, try to reason and convince them out of love, kindness, and a gentle spirit. In the end we can do what we can but it is the Lord's business to change people's hearts and even then, somtimes it takes a looooong time. The Lord is so incredibly patient with all of us and yet our patience can often be paper thin. Lord help us to have more love, patience, kindness and gentleness with others when trying to get our point across to them.

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Colossians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

By the way George, I noticed you signed that last post with yours and your wife's name. When are you going to include the rest of her in your pic instead of just her forehead? It's a very nice forehead but it would be nice to see her eyes, ears, nose, etc.

God bless you, your wife and baby. Hay, how about a pic of all three?

Brother Eric,

Ho Humm I think I'll quit this board and find one where people are less dogmatic, less pushing their own agenda,are not too inflexible, dont think that they are the only ones right and dont insist want to have the last word

I'll miss some of you guys cya.....eric.

Don't go.

I am steadily learning something here. It is just as George has said. The Lord wants us to Love REAL people.

St. John is very REAL. I'm not talking out of school. He knows it.

LOVE him.

I don't know but today I have learned something. I have been walking around under this incredible annointing today. The Lord is good.

I just touched about six peoples lives. G-d is Glorious. Just walking around filled with Love. Living a life of Love. This is what I'm glad to do!

I'm not saying tolerate his dogmatism if it doesn't serve you. Yet he does have Christ.

It may be that as my brother Smash has learned there may be things we never agree on. This he may learn.

Smash I do Love you.

I got my oil and my new wine, I got my ritual and thats just fine. It's nothing without you, Jesus!

Peace,

Dave
