Christian Cowboys and Friends P.O. Box 187 Blanco, TX 78606 Address Service Requested Magazine Presenting Jesus Vol 21 Issue 4 July/August 2017 - He still cares-

INTRODUCTION: My name is Ronnie Christian. I am a who loves Jesus and wants to bring others to know Him. I am a Lifetime Gold Card Member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. VISION: Reach rodeo cowboys and cowgirls with the Good News that Jesus loves them and Jesus Saves. Through this, their families, friends, and the many people they contact around the world, including ranchers and others in the horse and livestock industry will know God cares for them and Jesus is Lord. EXPECTATION: See people saved, set free, healed spiritually, physically, and emotionally, filled with the Holy Sprit, and living a life pleasing to God. Do Not Grieve The Holy Spirit

Ephesians 4:30 “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” There are things we do that grieve the heart of God. Only those close to us hurt us. God loves his children. When we are obedient children of our Father in Heaven it blesses Him and us. When they act in ungodly, sinful ways it grieves Him. Let’s see what ways we grieve God. READ THIS Article-it is a good time to self inspect. How are we doing? Good I hope. Ephesians 4:25 “Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK Cowboy Ministry TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another. 26 BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; Coy and Donna Huffman do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not give the devil an opportunity. 28 He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.
