  • RECALL NOTICE:
    The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.

    This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.

    This defect has been technically termed, "Subsequential Internal Non-morality", or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

    Some other symptoms:
    1. Loss of direction
    2. Foul vocal emissions
    3. Amnesia of origin
    4. Lack of peace and joy
    5. Selfish, or violent behavior
    6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
    7. Fearfulness
    8. Idolatry
    9. Rebellion


    The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect.

    The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

    The number to call for repair in all areas is:

    P-R-A-Y-E-R.


    Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.

    Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, JESUS, into the heart component.

    No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it
    with:

    1. Love
    2. Joy
    3. Peace
    4. Patience
    5. Kindness
    6. Goodness
    7. Faithfulness
    8. Gentleness
    9. Self control


    Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers Instructions Before Leaving Earth), for further details on the use of these fixes.

    WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on JESUS.

    DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

    Thank you for your immediate attention.

    GOD

    [Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice!!!  You can also contact your local pastors for further instruction and technical support. MSD]

  • Today is Valentine's Day but my youth group Kent C.L.A.N. decided last week that they would call this day S.A.D. (Single Awareness Day).

    In a sense, they are right. Man were created to be in a relationship. God said, "It is not good for man to be alone." I remembered the old children joke (Q: Why was Adam's first day the longest? A: Because it has no Eve!)

    But you can be single and not alone. I learn that from my kids. Belows are some of the things my kids share with me on this Valentine's Day.

    * The original Valentine

    For God so loved the

             world thAt He gave His

       One and onLy Son,

            that whoEver

          believes iN Him

             shall noT

                      perIsh but

           have eterNal

                       LifE. (John 3:16)

    * Valentine carols (to the tune of O Christmas Tree)

    O Valentine, O Valentine

    We bring you love from Jesus

    O Valentine, O Valentine

    We bring you love from Jesus

    His love is true in summertime

    But also in the wintertime

    O Valentine, O Valentine

    We bring you love from Jesus

    So, before you start getting down on yourself because no one has called or given you a Valentine card, just hum the carol and remember that God loves you and so do I.

    Instead of SAD, you can now be GLAD (God's Love At Display)

  • At Camp FIRE this year, Michelle N. tried to persuade me to forsake my beloved PC and go over to Macintosh. At first, I thought there would be no way, but after reading this from Sword & Spirit, I might have to reconsider. This one is for you, Michelle.

  • Thanks to Randy Alcorn, I will never look at the doughnuts the same way again. Read on.

    Parable of the Doughnuts

    Imagine someone whose weakness is eating doughnuts. His doctor says, "No more doughnuts." He vows to God, "No more doughnuts." He promises his family "No more doughnuts." He calls the church and gets on the prayer chain. He even goes to a doughnut deliverance ministry to have the demon of doughnut desire cast out of him.

    Here's a guy who means business, right?

    But then what does he do? Well, if he's like a lot of us, he goes right on reading about doughnuts, listening to doughnut music, and watching television programs about making doughnuts. He spends his time with other doughnut lovers talking about doughnuts, joking about doughnuts at the office, where he often glances at the doughnut calendars on the wall. He looks through the newspaper for doughnut coupons and subscribes to Doughnut Desires, with its glossy, color photos.

    It's not long before he's driving to work the long way that "just happens" to go by a doughnut shop. He rolls down the window and inhales. Pretty soon he's buying the morning paper from the rack right outside the doughnut shop. He's lingering just long enough to check out doughnuts through the window.

    Then he remembers he has to make a phone call, and hey, what do you know, the doughnut shop has a pay phone. And since he's there anyway, why not have a cup of coffee?

    Now, remember, this man has no intention of breaking his vow and eating doughnuts. But the totally predictable and inevitable result is—what? That he will give in and eat doughnuts!

    And can't you just hear his sad lament? "What went wrong? I prayed! I asked others to pray. I asked God for deliverance. Why try? I give up. You do your best and look what happens!"

    Job says, "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at girls." (Job 31:1) Job made a commitment to guard his heart by guarding his eyes. If we learn nothing else from the parable of the Doughnuts, we should learn that sincere intentions, and even prayers, are not enough. To have victory over temptation we must have clear goals and sound strategies, and we must diligently carry them out.
