The Salt of the Earth
Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men."( Matthew 5:13) Salt cleanses; it preserves; it brings out taste. If you want to cleanse a stain from a cup, use salt. If you want to preserve meat from rotting, use salt. If you want to bring out the flavor of food, use salt. It has many properties, but the one common denominator is that it must come into contact with something to do its work. It needs to be scattered out of the saltshaker. If we don't shake ourselves into reaching the lost, God may shake us. Remember, He allowed Saul of Tarsus to scatter the early Church. We are told that they were "scattered abroad, and went everywhere preaching the word."(Acts 8:4) There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

more awesome lyrics - another great song! Take My Life Lyrics � Lyrics & Music by Mac Powell
How many times have I turned away | The number is the same as the sand on the shore
But every time You've taken me back| And now I pray You do it once more.
Chorus: Please take from me my life | When I don't have the strength | to give it away to You Jesus
How many times have I gone astray | The number is the same as the stars in the sky
But every time You've taken me back | And now I pray You do it tonight.
Please take from me my life | When I don't have the strength | to give it away to You Jesus
[Detectives Karen, Nathan, Dave]
- police who came to my house after the break in last last week - gave them $1,000,000 J

* they�d come to an end in themselves so Jesus can intervene!

more awesome lyrics - another great song.
Not Home Yet - Steven Curtis Chapman
To all the travellers| Pilgrims longing for a home| From one who walks with you| On this journey called life's road| It is a long and winding road| From one who's seen the view| And dreamt of staying on the mountain high| And one who's cried like you| Wanting so much just to lay down and die| I offer this, we must remember this
We are not Home yet| We are not Home yet| Keep on looking ahead| Let your heart not forget| We are not home yet| Not home yet
So close your eyes with me| And hear the Father saying, "welcome home"| Let us find the strength|
in all His promises to carry on| He said, "I go prepare a place for you"| So Let us not forget
We are not Home yet| We are not Home yet| Keep on looking ahead| Let your heart not forget| We are not home yet| We are not home yet| Keep on looking ahead| Let your heart not forget| We are not home yet|
I know there'll be a moment| I know there'll be a place| Where we will see our Saviour| And fall in His embrace| So let us not grow weary| Or too content to stay| 'Cause we are not home yet| Not home yet
So let us journey on| We are not Home yet| We are not Home yet| Keep on looking ahead| Let your heart not forget We are not home yet| Not home yet|
Ever thank-FULL for you, pray our partnership in the Gospel will continue to be blessed as He uses us ALL to accomplish His purposes!

God�s Tolerance
The world doesn't understand that God sees their thought-life. The Bible says, "The Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."(1 Samuel 16:6-7) The world also makes the mistake of thinking that God's moral standards are the same as ours. They presume that He tolerates lying and stealing, and that He isn't too concerned about murder and adultery. This is why we must use God's Law to bring the knowledge of sin and show it to be exceedingly sinful. We do that by opening it up to show its spiritual nature-that God requires truth in the inward parts-that He considers lust to be adultery, and hatred to be murder. That knowledge helps to drive sinners toward the mercy of God in Christ. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

praise & pray 4 our mission to a world bound in sexual sin
just read a heartbreaking article Sex: a structure of sin at:
www.gordonconwell.edu/ockenga/globalchristianity/mmrc/mmrc9709.htm
girls as young as 7 are being sold into a deadly slave trade N
8,500 people get AIDS every day -- including 1,000 children N
�. In some cities, sex can be bought for less than the price of a bottle of beer.
:D nobody, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY is beyond the reach of His grace!
:D the ministry avenues this offers which may cause governments to welcome Christians.
* mobilise His body to face up & reach out to those caught in sexual sins
* REPENTANCE by the Church where in any way it has shown an unloving, un-Christlike attitude to those afflicted with AIDS/HIV
* help Christian missions examine how they can develop ministries to those suffering from the sex industry, including those afflicted with disease.
* help Christian missions examine how they can develop ministries that educate people on the price of immorality.
* help His children worldwide continue to press for the release of those forced into sexual slavery.

more awesome lyrics - another great song. Move through me - Bill Drake
1. Take my hands, take my feet - Take my heart, soul, mind and strength
So the captives can be free, speak through me
Use Your word, use Your truth, make this vessel pure for You
So the thirsty can believe, pour through me
Lord run Your Kingdom through my heart, Crucify self, set me apart!
So that the nations hear Your truth, send this ambassador for You!
Move through me
2. Take the scales from my sight, pierce my darkness with Your light
So blinded eyes can finally see - Shine through me!
Let me wipe away their tears, show compassion, calm their fear
So wounded hearts will surely heal - Love through me!
� Bill Drake Old Dirt Road Music
Ever thank-FULL for you, pray our partnership in the Gospel will continue to be blessed as He uses us ALL to accomplish His purposes!
Another snippet I found REAL CHALLENGING:
Sunday, August 20, 2006 Completely Sold Out
When you study the Book of Acts, you will see that the Church was on fire. The zeal of God's House had eaten them up. They were about their Father's business. They were whole- heartedly sold out for the Kingdom of God. That's the key to being effective in reaching the lost. The Bible says, " ... the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him."( 2 Chronicles 16:9) The word "perfect" simply means, "to be completely sold out to God." Many Christians are living in defeat because they are not serving God with that perfect heart, and so the Lord is not showing Himself strong on their behalf. Today, be sold out to God by reaching out to the unsaved, and watch Him show Himself strong on your behalf. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
