Michael Faraday [1791-1867]
Inventor of the electric generator and the transformer Discovered Benzene--used to make plastics, nylon and dyes Produced the first test tubes Described Field Theory *Hailed by Albert Einstein as the foundation for his own scientific discoveries* Elder in his church for over 20 years "Speculations? I have none. I am resting on certainties. 'I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.'" "A Christian finds his guide in the Word of God, and commits the keeping of his soul into the hands of God. He looks for no assurance beyond what the Word can give him, and if his mind is troubled by the cares and fears which assail him, he can go nowhere but in prayer to the throne of grace and to Scripture." "Since peace is alone in the gift of God; and as it is He who gives it, why should we be afraid? His unspeakable gift in His beloved Son is the ground of no doubtful hope." --[1861 letter] "The Bible, and it alone, with nothing added to it nor taken away from it by man, is the sole and sufficient guide for each individual, at all times and in all circumstances…For faith in the divinity and work of Christ is the gift of God, and the evidence of this faith is obedience to the commandment of Christ." |

Good morning all. Enjoy your day dear. |

'Twas the Night Before Jesus Came
'Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house Not a creature was praying, not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care In hopes that Jesus would not come there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed, Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap. When out of the East there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash! When what to my wondering eyes should appear But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray I knew in a moment this must be The Day! The light of His face made me cover my head It was Jesus! returning just like He had said. And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself. In the Book of Life which He held in His hand Was written the name of every saved man. He spoke not a word as He searched for my name; When He said "It's not here" my head hung in shame. The people whose names had been written with love He gathered to take to His Father above. With those who were ready He rose without a sound While all the rest were left standing around. I fell to my knees, but it was too late; I had waited too long and this sealed my fate. I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight; Oh, if only I had been ready tonight. In the words of this poem the meaning is clear; The coming of Jesus is drawing near. There's only one life and when comes the last call We'll find that the Bible was true after all! |

I pray that all who read this and all you care about will be one of the lovingly written names in His book that He takes above. Ohhh so sad for the man's family and himself.

.... I pray that all who read this and all you care about will be one of the lovingly written names in His book that He takes above. Ohhh so sad for the man's family and himself. But sadly when The Day comes it will be so for many and it makes me sad to think of that. God Bless You all It is sad but true......And people need to get it.....I don't think there is anything harder then being saved and having family that is not...... It would truly break my heart not to see someone I love or care about (friend wise) up in heaven. I pray and hope I and everyone I care about makes it to that great place. Including all of you here on JSH...oh lol excuse me...mingle2 Here's a song from TobyMac. He's a more modern singer, and his lyrics can be sometimes funny while being serious. He sends a good message out...here's a song related to the T'was the Night Before Jesus Came post... TOBYMAC "In the Air" I had a dream last night about the other side And I must confess that it was quite the ride I had a dream last night and the fact that you weren't there Gave me quite the scare People were afloat all around me Yet their weightless state never seemed to astound me Everything was grand till I noticed one thing That you, my friend, weren't on the scene There in the air I've been workin' all morning trying to spin my dream Cause I just can't believe you weren't in my dream Remember you and I said we would paint the sky And the leaves on the trees and the stars at night We made beats and we even wrote rhymes And played golf, I think, a million times Now we never got around to spiritual matters But we sure made time for our mindless chatter [CHORUS] I wanna see you there In the the air One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah) I wanna see you there In the the air One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah) (the below is toby conversing in song) Hello, wassup (wassup), how ya doin' (just fine) I was sorta wonderin', could we make the time (Just kick it) why not (at our usual spot) Latte's in May, mine cold, yours hot (So where we goin') much deeper than our usual chat (Like who's beats is weak and who's beats is phat) Nah, my man, this some next level junk (Like when we discussed if Tiger Woods could dunk) Just meet me there, seven o'clock, rain or shine With a fat cup of bean and a wide open mind [CHORUS] I wanna see you there In the the air One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah) I wanna see you there In the the air One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah) |

lol morning song, I'm on mingle, so I'm aware of the craziness. We all kind of explored the new emoticons when we got them ...this guy is a little crazy... , his eyes are twitching. . I've enjoyed them a bit too much and know a lot of them by their typed emoticon rather than wasting time clicking on them (you know you're addicted to mingle2/jsh when...) hehehehe. But thanks for the update. ... ((((hugs)))) (they still need a hugging emoticon ...lol)

Here's something to think about.... God is strengthening His church with new zeal & vitality.... I'm lovin' it!
THE LORD IS ON THE MOVE! HE WANTS TO BRING THE GLORY TO YOU!" By Jill Austin God is "redefining" churches and nations! The Lord is taking His finger and He is not only redefining the borders of nations, but also the Church. He says, "I am going to redefine even how you see My presence. I am going to take the walls down between different denominations and give you a hunger and fire for one another; a jealously for each of you who love the Lamb of God and have that fire for each other." It is as if you were up in the Heavens looking at the earth and you see that certain nations are full of different amounts of the glory of God. There are prophetic time clocks on different nations, according to His sovereign purposes for radical revival. Do You Want a Visitation Or An Inhabitation? Our cry is that we don't just want to say, "Come Holy Spirit"; we want to say, "Stay Holy Spirit!" We don't want just a visitation, we want an inhabitation! I feel like the Lord is asking, "Are you willing to be radical for Me? Are you willing to let Me use your hands, your feet and your mouth to be radically on fire for Me? I am calling for a new militancy, a new passion, a new revelation of the Cross." The Lord says, "As you receive more and more and come into the fullness of the revelation of the glory of My Cross - of Who I am - the more of My glory and more of Heaven will kiss the earth." There needs to be a cry in you that says, "Kiss the lump of earth, Lord. Let Your fire and presence consume me!" http://www.elijahlist.com/ |

For all the hugging we do, I'd agree with that. |
