The Secret Of Living
The secret of living
Is learning to pray-
It's asking our Father
For strength for the day!
It's trusting completely
That His boundless grace
Will overcome care
And each problem we face,
It's walking by Faith
Every mile that we plod,
And knowing our prayers
Bring us closer to God

Time
Yesterday was history

Talking
Talking is sharing but listening is caring.

An Important and Challenging Message from a Baptist Minister in North Wales........
Latest news reports claim that 5 terrorist cells have been identified as operating throughout the church.
The Security Chief for the World Church Council advised earlier today there are actually 6 cells working within the church; the sixth is not a terrorist organisation and is welcomed. The 5 terrorist cells, however, must be eradicated as soon as possible.
The 5 terrorist cell groups are: Bin Sleeping, Bin Arguing, Bin Fighting, Bin Complaining, and Bin Missing. Their leader Osama Bin Lucifer trained these groups for the purpose of destroying the body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as followers of Jesus Christ but to work within each fellowship to discourage, disrupt, and destroy each part of the body.
The sixth cell group and the smallest cell group within the church is Bin Working. Out of all the cells that are in the church this group is the easiest to spot, they are the only group that is active in ministry. The terrorist cell groups may not be seen so easily because they blend in with whoever and whatever comes along and are not easily spotted.
The Bin Working cell will be seen doing whatever is needed to uplift and encourage the body of Christ. The Security Chief for the World Church Council states that he has noticed that the Bin Working cell group has different characteristics than the others because they have been Bin Watching, Bin Praying, and Bin Longing for their Master Jesus Christ to return. which cell group do you belong to?
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly,
working not at all, but are busy bodies.
2 Thessalonians 3:11
Teamwork
There are four people named ANON Soap!
A minister and a soap manufacturer went for a walk together
Everybody,
Somebody,
Anybody
and
Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it
but Nobody realized
that Everybody blamed Somebody
when Nobody did
what Anybody could have done.
and the soap maker asked,
"What's the good of religion?
Look at the trouble and misery in the world after hundreds of years of Christianity.
What's the earthly good of it?"
The minister didn't rise to the bait and said nothing.
They continued walking until they came to a child,
filthy with mud and grime, playing in the gutter.
"Look at that child", said the minister.
"You say soap makes people clean.
We've had soap for hundreds of years, yet look how dirty that child is.
So what's the good of soap?"
The soap manufacturer was indignant.
"But soap can't do any good unless it's used," he protested.
"Exactly!" said the minister.
