OUR GOD IS AN AWSOME GOD!!!!!

Welcome my brothers and sisters in the glorious love of Jesus Christ;

Yes, I know that it has once again been way too long since my last post. You know, I truly do mean to post every day, but to be honest I grt so busy with every thing ekse that time just sort of slips way and befue I know it it's bedtime. And since I only average 1 to 2 hours of sleep a night I really can't afford to cut it back any. But, I really don't feel right just posting my weekly sermon on the website either. (You are reading bthe weekly messages aren't you?) owever, I can't let other things such as updating the site to our new design and looking for new content go because I am the only webmaster, so either I do it or no one does. Then there is about 5 yesrs work just to add tge content I have to go up in all of the different catagories and trying to convince our bloggers how important it is ti be posting. I have just gotten another wonderful brother to agree to join us so you will soon see his blog up. I promise if yu dn't check it out you will regrett it. Al is from Puerto Rica and gre up in tthe north tast US. He is a retited Minister with a wonderfull amount of knowledge and education and is one of the miraculous peopole God brought into my life that led directly to my own acceptance of Christ as my Lord and Master. Of course there is always more need for new contributors. If you have somerging you have writter that you want to contribute, or maybe a weekly, monthly, or even yearly column on the site,maybey you want your own blog, or maybey some combination just ler me know at rev_tom_glove@yahoo.com and we'll get it going. I promise that you get full credit posted for vall your work plus you keep the copyrights. Just please remenber that this is an all Christian site. If you have been following the wekly mssages you know that we are in the middle of a series on Ephesians. We started out the firsr 5 weeks working on the doctrinak aspescts of it and last week started looking at the nuts and bolts of how how it effects us both now and in eyerity, Now in the past i have gottten ehauis from some of you not only questionnning both Christianity as vwell as whether Christian ministers veven believe what we say ourselves or if this is just a way to make an eay buck. As for the reality of Christianity I used to be right where you are asking the same questions. What changed me? Love, but I have to admit that it was not the all consuming love that God offeres. And over the years I collecte those little bits of love unyik the day that I was dsperate enough that I took them out and looked at them. I saw how they fit togetyer and I had to admit that there had to ba a loy more, but just as you can look at a partial puzzle and you believe that the whole pictere is there I looked at my pieces of love and just had faith that God's whole faith is waiting for us. How can you do this personally? I wish wiyh all my heart I could tell you, but the truth is that all I can do is to try and guide you and pray that you will find your own faith in Christ before it's too late. A for my own faith I admit that there are times that test it, but let me quickly relate two recent tests. I was told last year that I have 2 different eye conditions that wikk cause me to go blind they just have no idea when. So all tear I have faithfully used my eye drops and done what I was told to even though I knew that my vision had gotten worse I prayed all the way to my yearly exam that God would let it stikk be good enough that I could keep driving. Well she checked and told me that the drops were no lomger working. Then she told me that my right eye was now bad enough to be cpnsidered legallt blind. Then she told me rgat the only thing that will slow things now is laser sugury. I have to be honest I'm not thinking of throwing a party here. Then she calmly hands me my prescription for new gkasses and the filled out papers for the DMV that say that due to my left eye I can keep drivrng for another year. God is sooooo good. The other test was a test of my own faith that also tested the truth if what I teach. As mant of you know Beautiful Brcky has been going through a baaaad depression. I finally got her to agee to get treated for it but couldn't get an appointmen anytime soon. After talking to everyone possile the best I could do was to get her moved to Dec. 8. This was last Friday so it was stil a bit away. Thyen one of the doctors called me back abd said tha she had a patient this Monday at 1 with a med check at 2:30 but that she was known for not showing up. She said that she had to give the lady until 1:15 but then she would call and Becky could have the 2:30 appt. for meds. So testerday at about 1:10 I started praying and ask God to let Becky have the appt. and then went ahead and thanked him knowing he would answer ,y prayer. As I finished my prayer my phone rang and Becky is on her way to recovery with her meds. So do I believe the things I write here? Lets try an experiment. Lets all keep studying and putting it to use. If I'm wromg about God all we lose is sine time amd we still become better puopke. But when I'm proven right we win our eter4nity in Paeadise. I have more to tell you but I need to head out to a church councik neeting. I promise to get back as soon as I can.

In all His love
Pastor Tom
