Dynamite (Or, should I say dunamis) post, Dubya.


O how sweet the glorious message simple faith may claim Yesterday, today, forever Jesus is the same. Still He loves to save the sinful, heal the sick and lame Cheer the mourner, still the tempest, glory to His Name.

Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same. All may change, but Jesus never! Glory to His Name! Glory to His Name! Glory to His Name! All may change, but Jesus never! Glory to His Name!(Refrain)

He, who was the Friend of sinners, seeks the lost one now Sinner come, and at His footstool penitently bow He Who said “I’ll not condemn thee, go and sin no more,”
Speaks to thee that word of pardon as in days of yore.

Refrain

Oft on earth He healed the sufferer by His mighty hand Still our sicknesses and sorrows go at His command He who gave His healing virtue to a woman’s touch To the faith that claims His fullness still will give as much.

Refrain

As of old He walked to Emmaus, with them to abide So through all life’s way He walketh ever near our side Soon again we shall behold Him, Hasten Lord the day
But twill still be this same Jesus as He went away.

Refrain

This is more than refreshing. A few years ago, during clinton, I was reading articles about wiccans (witchcraft) in the army. The army was required to give wiccans the same benefits as chaplains. After all the political correctness, in almost every aspect of our lives, this is hard to beileve. But very welcome.

Great Article, Dubya.

A question was once asked, "What is the greatest Spiritual Gift?"

A very wise man answered, "Whatever gift God can use at any particular moment."

Bibles for Soldiers

Bibles for our troops

Through our Military Chaplain Outreach, IBS is providing & desert Bibles and New Testaments to troops in Iraq, troops preparing for deployment, and troops remaining at home station.

IBS sends Scriptures to military chaplains, who distribute the Scriptures to their service members. Priority is given to Reserve and National Guard Chaplains because they typically have limited funds to purchase Scriptures, said Retired Army Chaplain Chuck Adams, Military Representative.

More Reserve and National Guard troops are being called to active duty now than in the 1991 Gulf War. That's why the need is so great right now to supply Reserve and National Guard Chaplains with Bibles, Adams said.

We want to get Scriptures to the troops at their U.S. bases before they leave for Iraq, so they have God's Word with them in their pockets. But we also can put the Scriptures on U.S. supply planes. They;re delivered to the Chaplains through the regular supply lines on the ground in Iraq. Either way, we'd like to know that every soldier who wants God's Word has it.

About this photo: A soldier from the 3rd Infantry Division is baptized in the desert on March 12 in an improvised baptism pool. Other soldiers, barefoot in the background, await their baptisms. Eight soldiers were baptized that day.

Give to Military Chaplain Grant Ministries
