A Tale Of Two Slaves
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle. Romans 1:1
Bible In One Year: Titus 1-3
|
Spartacus is not just a film legend but a historical figure. Historians say that he was likely a Roman soldier who deserted, was recaptured, and then sold into slavery as a gladiator.
While at the gladiatorial school at Capua, Spartacus led a rebellion. This act of defiance attracted massive numbers of slaves, growing to an estimated 70,000. Initially, Spartacus' slave army enjoyed spectacular victories. But they were eventually defeated, and the captured rebels were crucified along the road to Rome.
What a contrast to Spartacus is the apostle Paul. Saul of Tarsus (as Paul was also known) was born a free man and yet was destined to become a slave. Acts 9 records the fateful day when Saul came face to face with the Savior he sought to oppose. From that time on, he served Jesus wholeheartedly.
Spartacus was forced to serve a Roman taskmaster. But Paul, in response to God's grace, voluntarily became a slave to Jesus Christ.
In the believer's heart rages a spiritual war between sin and righteousness. We can obey the slave-master of sin, or we can say yes to the God of grace who has made us free (Romans 6:16; John 8:34). Our greatest liberty lies in serving the One who created and redeemed us. Dennis Fisher
Christ broke the bonds of sin, that I
Might know His strong eternal tie;
This blood-bought liberty I bring
To be Your bond-slave, Master-King. F. Hess
True freedom is found in serving Christ.

To: JustAmy; All
I want to wish each of you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonderful new year to come! You are all special to me and I appreciate and love each and everyone of you!!!
But especially, my heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who have taken their time and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on envelopes cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use deodorant! Since it causes cancer, even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from nor send packages by UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat KFC because their "chickens" are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!
If you don't send this copy/paste & e-mail this to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, your cars transmission will fall out on the expressway in a ice storm stranding you for 3 days over Christmas weekend. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beauitician.
MERRY CHRISTMAS from the DollyCali household!!

Strange Christmas Facts
(of course they are true(???) came from internet)
Saint Nicholas of Myra, the original Santa Claus, was the patron saint of
children, thieves and pawnbrokers.
Based on previous surveys, 17 percent of you will embarrass yourselves in
some way at your office Christmas party.
A Mongolian wild ass can run 8 mph faster than a reindeer.
It's Donder, not Donner.
Christmas pudding should be stirred from east to west.
56 percent of Americans sing holiday carols to their pets.
53 percent of Americans plan to "re-gift" this year.
1 in 3 men will wait until Christmas Eve to finish their shopping.
1 in 6 men would like to get rid of all the "gift-giving nonsense."
A traditional Christmas dinner in early England was the head of a pig
prepared with mustard.
On Christmas Eve in 2001, the Bethlehem Hotel had 208 of its 210 rooms
free.
It's "God rest ye merry, gentlemen," not "God rest ye, merry gentlemen."
There are 1.76 billion candy canes produced every year.
Kris Kringel, a man in his 40s, lives in North Pole, Alaska, and delivers
pizzas for a living. He drives a 1984 Ford Tempo.
Based on a 1999 estimated population count of North America and Europe,
on Christmas Eve of that year Santa Claus had to visit 42,466,666 homes
in a 12-hour period -- that's 983 homes per second.

The graphics and presentation on this are so well done and Nicknamed Bob's poem is beautiful.
The icing you posted for the hickory nut pound cake looks so good that I think I'll try it on my pound cake this year.
Pinging Carlo as promised.

Good Morning GEEBEE!
Next Monday I'll be 49!
Hey, I'm not afraid or ashamed to admit my true age.
I celebrate each and every year that's come, gone, and is yet to come.
God is good!
He also has a sense of humor since I was born the day after Christmas! LOL!
Wat are you planning for Christmas this year?
