Testimonytestimony of God, for I Determined Not to Know Anything Among You, Save Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified.‖ I Cor ―And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you TheThe TestimonyTestimony of God, for I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.‖ I Cor. 2:1-2 Verse Of The Month “Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.” Matthew 27:22 Vol. V April, 2014 No. 4 Crowned Or Crucified? I stood alone at the bar of God In the hush of the twilight dim, And faced the question that pierced my heart: “What will you do with Him? “Crowned of Crucified? Which shall it be?” No other choice was offered to me. I looked on the face so marred with tears That were shed in His agony; The look in His kind eyes broke my heart, ’Twas so full of love for me. “The Crown or the Cross,” it seemed to say; “For or against Me choose thou today! He held out His loving hands to me, While He pleadingly said, “Obey! Make me thy choice, for I love thee so,” And I could not say Him nay. Crowned, not crucified; this must it be! No other way was open to me. I knelt in tears at the feet of Christ, In the hush of the twilight dim, And all that I was or hoped or sought, I surrendered unto Him. Crowned, not crucified! My heart shall know No king but Christ, who loveth me so! Author Unknown The Testimony ................................ .................. ........................................................ .......... .................................... ....................................................... .......................... ............................ ............................ ............ ........................... ........... Teach Me Lord… In countless shattered pieces, My blasted heart does lie, Seeking thru the farthest reaches, For comfort sweet, beneath the sky. Teach me Lord, to watch and wait, And prove your promises so sure, Eagles wings, toward heaven’s gate, Gifts from thee, a sweet overture. Teach me Lord, to ride above, The choking pain, the crushing grief, Teach me Lord, to trust your love, To trust your Word, promised relief! Teach me Lord, when darkness rolls in, When joy has fled, despair with life, That Jesus, is shelter within, A strong tower, refuge in strife! Teach me Lord, along this path, To simply trust, who you are! Knowing, we are not made for wrath, But for joy, coming to thy bar!

I dwell in the secret place I have His protection and provision. God is my refuge, my fortress I am not afraid of the snare of the fowler. No Evil shall befall me and no plague shall come nigh My dwelling. God has given his angels Charge over me and they are bearing me up in their hands lest I dash my foot against a stone, as declared in Psalms 91.

  • Sunflowers & Thistles
    Sunflowers & Thistles Praise songs and protests by John Campbell Acknowledgements I was due to retire from full-time ministry with the United Reformed Church (URC) just as the Covid-19 pandemic began. But it truly felt like the wrong time to leave. Instead, I have been blessed with permission to remain in ministry through it all. So, I have stayed in active fellowship with High Cross United Reformed Church in Tottenham; Rectory Road and Manor Road United Reformed Churches in Stoke Newington; Clapton Park United Reformed Church in Hackney and Islington; and the South Lea Valley Local Area of the URC. I was also surrounded by valued ecumenical colleagues in Tottenham through Christians Together in Tottenham, and in touch with a wide circle of treasured colleagues and friends across Thames North Synod and beyond, including Jamaica and Ghana. Thanks to you all for sharing the journey. It is your fellowship that inspires me to write fresh songs to well-known tunes that might, just might, help to keep you singing as we all negotiate our way through these strange times. Prayers and blessings, John Campbell Song 37: O God who longs to make us whole A hymn celebrating the founding and work of the NHS.

They’re more than just words. They’re promises that hopefully both parties stick to throughout the marriage. A heartfelt exchange of vows has a lasting impact on the lives of each couple. I created this eBook to help couples craft their wedding vows and to take the stress out of having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to writing vows. Most couples read over the assortment of choices below and choose a complete vow as it is written or copy and paste sentences they like together to create their own unique vows. WRITING YOUR OWN VOWS I don’t encourage writing your own vows unless you really have a deep desire to do so.

  • Daily Prayer for All Seasons
    Daily Prayer for All Seasons - - - - - - - - - - These prayers have been developed under the mandate of General Convention for the SCLM and are available for trial use at this time. 1 Introduction ―Let us pray.‖ Those words can be so embracing, so soothing. But there are times when they simply remind us that we don‘t have time to pray -- not the way we long to. We want to pray without ceasing, but we also want to repair that engine and train the puppy and plow the south 40 before sunset. Still, the call to prayer is strong. The call to pray throughout the day has sounded for centuries as a way to deepen our faith. Daily Prayer for All Seasons provides a holy – and wholly realistic -- way to order our days, no matter how full they seem. Daily Prayer for All Seasons was compiled and written by a diverse team of people from all over the United States. We came together periodically over four years to create a set of prayers that acknowledge in their brevity both the need to pray and the short time we have to pray. The Daily Prayer for All Seasons team comprised people like you: we have jobs and families, groceries and gardens and ironing; subways to catch, doctors to see, and reports to write. We put these demands on the table. We never lost sight of those pressures on our time and energy as we plowed through wonderful resources for meditation and song, assembling the richest ones into a prayer book for all of us, clergy and laity, who think we‘re too busy to pray.
