Where the search ends
From “Leaves of Gold”
“I searched the world over for God and found Him in
my heart,” said Augustine. In the heart of the believer a
still small voice speaks in clearest accents, bearing
“witness with our spirits that we are the children of
God.” Nothing on earth is so heavenly as that--so like
“the voice of angels singing in the silence.” It is as clear
as bells at eventime. It is assuring like the familiar voice
of a friend beloved. The Holy Spirit speaking in the
secret chambers of the heart is the climax of God’s
revelation to us!
ARE YOU LISTENING?????

A great time was had by all and more importantly money was raised for our outreach program.
God bless.
Negative
It was brought to my attention last night by a brother that Christ never wants us to be negative. For example we should not announce the lack of support from others but exalt the support we do find. We should not Count failures but count successes. We should quit defining success on our terms, such as number of attendees to a meeting, but instead measure it in Jesus's terms, such as are we striving for the kingdom of God. One person fed is a success. One struggling family brought back to the church is astounding. Who cares if only three people show up (Matthew 18, 20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them)as long as the three of you are joyfully doing the work of God. Let's not let the baggage of past failure slow us down but move forward to serve God with our spiritual gifts.
