Words from the Word
(written in conjunction with your daily reading schedule at the top of this page and Trivia)
Acts 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Many do not like the way some leaders operate here in the US of A. BUT we have yet to have THIS happen to our people and preachers! As much as I love life, I'd trade the rest of my life for real revival if I knew it would be used to help bring another AWAKENING. America needs it SO badly! Morals are low and life is considered a choice. There is so much confusion as to what is right and wrong - that is outside of “Bible”. And THEN there are SO many opinions and churches that allow immoral people to be in the choir or teach SS and even be in the ministry! "God - which leader could become another Paul? I'd love to see it happen!!!" Pastor Roger Barcus
Ho-Holy Humor
The Ears Have It
Three friends decided to go deer hunting together. One was a lawyer, one a doctor, and the other a preacher. As they were walking, along came a big buck. The three of them shot simultaneously. Immediately the buck dropped to the ground and all three rushed up to see how big it actually was. Upon reaching it they found out that it was dead but had only one bullet hole. Thus a debate followed concerning whose buck it was.
A few minutes later a game officer came by and asked what the problem was. The doctor told him their reason for the debate. The officer told them he would take a look and tell them who shot it. Within a few seconds the game officer said with much confidence, "The pastor shot the buck!"
They all wondered how he knew that so quickly.
The officer said, "Easy. The bullet went in one ear and out the other."
