The Sentinel

A lonely sentinel stood watch beside the welcoming abode,
For almost every hour since the last time that it snowed.
He’s been here in the darkness, and withstood the glaring sun,
It takes more than some cold to keep his work from getting done.

He’ll be here for as long as Winter makes a threat,
His confidence is total, he’s not been defeated yet.
With cool aplomb he smiles but he’s forgotten just one thing,
He’ll lose this pose and doff his clothes, and run away in Spring.

Will You Tell Them?

Read: Proverbs 24:10-12

Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. —John 11:26

Bible In One Year: Genesis 6-9


John, a friend of mine, was once addicted to drugs. Several times he nearly died. He was a broken man when he entered the Christian rehabilitation program that my husband and I established. By the end of the program, John had become a Christian.

One day as John strolled along a busy street, he began to see the bustling shoppers as God sees them—dying people. He had learned from God's Word that those who die without Christ will spend eternity separated from Him. With deep concern, John thought, These people don't have to die!

We all need to see people as God sees them. But that revelation also brings responsibility. Solomon pleaded, "Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter" (Proverbs 24:11). He also warned that once our eyes are opened we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act (v.12).

Think of people you know who are without Christ. They don't have to die without Him! Jesus said, "Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die" (John 11:26). Will you tell them this good news? —Joanie Yoder

If we really care for those
Who live beneath God's wrath,
The gospel must be shared with them,
To turn them from death's path. —Sper

Wanted: Messengers to deliver the good news.

You Might Be A Redneck - This one is different and good............

You might be a redneck if. . .

it never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God. . ."

you've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

you still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

you bow your head when someone prays.

you stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

you treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

you've never burned an American flag.

you know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

you respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

you'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Hey, someone sent me some great "Calvin" snowmen cartoons, but I've never figured out how to post pictures here from my e-mail.

Can anyone help me with this?
