...Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends...
Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Hosea 11—14
If you watch the news, you’re well aware of the evil in our world. And if you believe the commentators, you might be tempted to think evil is winning. But here is the good news we’ll hear in this final study of Hosea: God always wins. So hop aboard the Bible Bus as we hear more about the unfailing love and mercy of our gracious Lord.
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
The All-Important Thing
It’s wonderful when you have a relationship with God, and you can go to the Lord Jesus Christ and say to Him, “I love You. I belong to You. You belong to me.” Remember Paul said even to the Corinthians, he says, “Everything is ours. Paul is yours, and the world is yours, and Christ is yours.” Have you made Him yours, friend? Do you belong to Him and does He belong to you? And if He does, you’ve got something good going, I’ll tell you that. There’s no relationship quite like that today. May I say to you, the important thing—the all-important thing—is a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Daily Promises
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Isaiah 35:10)
Soon He comes, the Lord of hosts, to judge the nations and bring to light a new heaven and a new earth! All joy will be eternal. All sorrow shall be no more! The children of the Lamb will march forth as princes of the holy city. And so we now join the cry of yearning, "How long O Lord? How long?"
Leaving A Mark
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. — Romans 5:19
Every day, our lives are leaving some type of mark on this world.

Hi Ashlandog. My grade school had a Bible Bus show up once every two weeks in 1976. Big school bus with seats removed and lots of padded carpet and throw pillows. They parked it on the street. Attendance was voluntary but most students went because it was fun and an excuse to ditch class. Felt board with many bible stories plus slide shows. I sure loved it. Sure not allowed now.
" Felt board with many bible stories plus slide shows. I sure loved it. Sure not allowed now.ew"
...we had missionaries, who came to our school with the same high tech felt board...
...here in Ohio, a law was passed that churches could set up off campus classrooms and allow the children access in their free time...
...what the churches here have done, is to coop together and with the real estate companies to buy houses next door to the schools for use as classrooms...
...most of the children can walk to the classes, and those who are not able, transportation is provided...
God is in control.

"Thou hast left thy first love." — Revelation 2:4
Ever to be remembered is that best and brightest of hours, when first we saw the Lord, lost our burden, received the roll of promise, rejoiced in full salvation, and went on our way in peace. It was spring time in the soul; the winter was past; the mutterings of Sinai's thunders were hushed; the flashings of its lightnings were no more perceived; God was beheld as reconciled; the law threatened no vengeance, justice demanded no punishment. Then the flowers appeared in our heart; hope, love, peace, and patience sprung from the sod; the hyacinth of repentance, the snowdrop of pure holiness, the crocus of golden faith, the daffodil of early love, all decked the garden of the soul. The time of the singing of birds was come, and we rejoiced with thanksgiving; we magnified the holy name of our forgiving God, and our resolve was, "Lord, I am Thine, wholly Thine; all I am, and all I have, I would devote to Thee. Thou hast brought me with Thy blood-let me spend myself and be spent in Thy service. In life and in death let me be consecrated to Thee." How have we kept this resolve? Our espousal love burned with a holy flame of devoutedness to Jesus-is it the same now? Might not Jesus well say to us, "I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left they first love"? Alas! it is but little we have done for our Master's glory. Our winter has lasted all too long. We are as cold as ice when we should feel a summer's glow and bloom with sacred flowers. We give to God pence when He deserveth pounds, nay, deserveth our heart's blood to be coined in the service of His church and of His truth. But shall we continue thus? O Lord, after Thou hast so richly blessed us, shall we be ungrateful and become indifferent to Thy good cause and work? O quicken us that we may return to our first love, and do our first works! Send us a genial spring, O Sun of Righteousness.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon February 12th — Morning Reading
"For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ." — 2 Corinthians 1:5
There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence bears a pair of scales-in this side He puts His people's trials, and in that He puts their consolations. When the scale of trial is nearly empty, you will always find the scale of consolation in nearly the same condition; and when the scale of trials is full, you will find the scale of consolation just as heavy. When the black clouds gather most, the light is the more brightly revealed to us. When the night lowers and the tempest is coming on, the Heavenly Captain is always closest to His crew. It is a blessed thing, that when we are most cast down, then it is that we are most lifted up by the consolations of the Spirit. One reason is, because trials make more room for consolation. Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation. God comes into our heart-He finds it full-He begins to break our comforts and to make it empty; then there is more room for grace. The humbler a man lies, the more comfort he will always have, because he will be more fitted to receive it. Another reason why we are often most happy in our troubles, is this-then we have the closest dealings with God. When the barn is full, man can live without God: when the purse is bursting with gold, we try to do without so much prayer. But once take our gourds away, and we want our God; once cleanse the idols out of the house, then we are compelled to honour Jehovah. "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord." There is no cry so good as that which comes from the bottom of the mountains; no prayer half so hearty as that which comes up from the depths of the soul, through deep trials and afflictions. Hence they bring us to God, and we are happier; for nearness to God is happiness. Come, troubled believer, fret not over your heavy troubles, for they are the heralds of weighty mercies.
Thank You.
