Whats In A Name?
April 3, 2014
Read: John 1:35-42
My friend wrote a letter to his newborn child that he wanted him to read when he was older: My dear boy, Daddy and Mummy wish that you will find and stay focused on the Light. Your Chinese name is xin xuan. Xin means faithfulness, contentment, and integrity; xuan stands for warmth and light. He and his wife carefully chose a name based on their hopes for their baby boy.
When Jesus renamed Simon as Peter/Cephas (John 1:42), it wasnt a random choice. Peter means the rock. But it took a while for him to live up to his new name. The account of his life reveals him as a fisherman known for his rash waysa shifting-sand kind of guy. Peter disagreed with Jesus (Matt. 16:22-23), struck a man with a sword (John 18:10-11), and even denied knowing Jesus (John 18:15-27). But in Acts, we read that God worked in and through him to establish His church. Peter truly became a rock.
If you, like Peter, are a follower of Jesus, you have a new identity. In Acts 11:26, we read, The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. The name Christians means Christ-ones. You now are one of the Christ-ones. This title lifts up who you are and calls you to become what you are not yet. God is faithful, and He will complete His good work in you (Phil. 1:6).
Dear Father, thank You for the incredible privilege
of being called Your child. May we understand
more fully what it means to be identified with Your
Son, Jesus Christ. Work in us and through us.
We honor Gods name when we call Him our Father and live like His children.

I pray for the families at Ft. Hood.
I messaged my cousin and she said she left post at noon and was alright. There are many that were not.
God bless the troops.

Can anyone explain to me why our soldiers are not allow to carry weapons at Ft Hood?
To: All
A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are, God is, And all is well. Amen.
BLESS THIS HOUSE Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Thank you Kathy for this evenings thread of our finest! *Hugs*
To: AZamericonnie; SandRat
At the VERY least, of ALL places, Ft Hood should have had armed soldiers.
But klintoon was afraid of armed soldiers.
