Take A Whirlwind Tour of the Bible
Does the prospect of ever becoming familiar with the history and characters of the Bible seem daunting? Whirlwind Bible Tours (WBT) understands--and they've taken it upon themselves to give Internet visitors a fast-paced, humorous tour of the major people and events of the Bible. You will receive "a whimsically humorous and brief overview of the Bible" with these intriguing learning categories: "Earth: The Early Years"; "My World's Fallen and I Can't Get Up"; "Moses: the Great Escape"; "War and Peace (Repeat)"; "Decline and Fall of the Israeli Empire" and "Jesus People: The Early Years."

Movin' On Up
While traveling, an investor stopped off to visit a friend and notable stockbroker with whom he had corresponded through the years. Following the directions given, he arrived at his residence - a small apartment complex in midtown. He rechecked to make sure he had the correct address and then rang the doorbell, where he was greeted with a warm smile and a familiar voice. He entered a small living room area with very modest furnishings and decor. There was hardly even a picture hanging on the wall. After some conversation, the visitor remarked, "You know, Frank, this place has great potential... why not invest some money and remodel? New furniture, carpet and wall coverings would make this place look really nice!"
The stockbroker softly replied, "Not a very wise investment, Jim. You see, this place is not my home! I'm just living here temporarily while my home is being built. My energy and focus are centered upon that permanent residence. In the meantime, it doesn't make sense to invest a lot of time and resources in this place only to leave it all behind. Why, the title deed has already been transferred into my name - see, here's my new address! Besides, I don't want to get too comfortable here, knowing that I will eventually move out of this temporary apartment and into my permanent home."

Directions To Our Father's House
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Here's how to get to my Father's house.....Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd. Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ. There, you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith, which is over troubled water. When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight. You are on the King's Highway - Heaven-bound. Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for the Son, and One for the Holy Ghost. Then exit off onto Grace Blvd. From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane. Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer Road. As you go on your way, Yield Not to the traffic on Temptation Ave. Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END. Pass up Envy Drive, and Hate Avenue. Also, pass Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd. However, you have to go down Long-suffering Lane, Persecution Blvd. and Trials and Tribulations Ave. But that's all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead!

A PRAYER FOR YOU
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, to dance, and to bask in the Son.
He is there for each and every one of you.

12 Killed As Porch Collapses in Chicago
AP is reporting a tragic accident last night in Chicago. According to the report, "50 people, most of them in their early 20s, had crammed onto the apartment porch for a party in the city's affluent Lincoln Park neighborhood when the floor fell at about 12:30 a.m., police said. Seven men and five women, most of them apparently on the porches directly below, were sandwiched between the falling floors and killed." It is so often said that when we are young, we feel invulnerable, we don't think of death or contemplate our own mortality. Some would call these people young adults, some would call them kids, but whatever you call them, they were young and just starting out in life. How many of them had even begun to think about life's Big Picture? How many had started to wonder what it was all about, why they were here, why their lives were the way they were? How many of them were ready that summer night to meet their maker?
It is said that life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. But we all need to stop and slow down, find a quite place to think about the Big Questions, to pray, to talk to God and to really listen.
By the time we have reached early adulthood, most of us have been confronted with the harsh reality of life, with injustice, with loss, with pain in some form or other. Most of us reach a point where we want to scream out "it should not be this way!" With luck, we will find others who will guide us to the truth that God did not mean it to be this way, and He is standing by with an answer, ready to fix the problem at the heart of the human condition. His answer, the offer of salvation and eternal life, is available to all, extended personally by God when he became human. How many of us have thought, "if there is a God, why doesn't he just reveal himself, that would be so much simpler and straightforward." The Good News is that He did just that, He came down from heaven and took on human form and said, "here I am, here is what it is all about, here is how to fix things." God offers redemption (to redeem, to take back, to restore) to all people through faith in Jesus the Christ. Take Him at His word, accept His offer of salvation and eternal life. This day, your life may be required of you, are you ready to meet your maker?

A WALK WITH JESUS
If you could take a walk with Jesus
If He could spend some time with you,
Would you walk through fields of flowers,
Sprinkled with the morning dew?
If you could take a walk with Jesus,
Would you walk beside the sea?
Or would you walk out in the forest,
So you could rest beneath the trees?
If you could take a walk with Jesus,
What would you say to him?
Would you spend the time complaining,
About your family and your friends?
If you could take a walk with Jesus,
Would you grumble about your job?
Would you choose your words with caution,
As you walked with the Son of God?
Now before you give your answer,
Give careful thought to what you'll say.
Though you may not have noticed,
Jesus walked with you today.

GOD'S WILL
The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

HERE WAS A MAN
Johnny Bond & Tex Ritter, 1963
Here was a man a man who was born in a small village
the son of a peasant woman
He grew up in another small village
Until he reached the age of thirty he worked as a carpenter
Then for three years he was a traveling minister
But he never traveled more than two hundred miles from where he was born
And where he did go he usually walked
He never held political office he never wrote a book never bought a home
Never had a family he never went to college and he never set foot inside a big city
Yes here was a man
Though he never did one on the things usually associated with greatness
He had no credentials but himself he had nothing to do with this world
Except through the devine purpose that brought him to this world
While he was still a young man the tide of popular opinion turned against him
Most of his friends ran away one of them denied him
One of them betrayed him and turned him over to his enemies
Then he went through the mockery of a trial
And was nailed to a cross between two thieves
And even while he was dying his executioners gambled
For the only piece of property that he had in this world
And that was his robe his purple robe
When he was dead he was taken down from the cross
And laid in a borrowed grave provided by compassionate friends
More than nineteen centuries have come and gone
And today he's a centerpiece of the human race
Our leader in the column to human destiny
I think I'm well within the mark when I say that all of the armies that ever marched
All of the navies that ever sailed the seas
All of the legislative bodies that ever sat and all of the kings that ever reigned
All of them put together have not affected the life of man on this earth
So powerfully as that one solitary life
Here was a man

Christian One-Liners
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited-until you try to sit in their pews.
Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers.
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but roaches come close.
When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.
People are funny, they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.
Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.
If the church wants a better preacher, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
Peace starts with a smile.
Outside of traffic, there is nothing that holds this country back as much as committees.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God grades on the cross, not the curve.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you.
Prayer: Don't give God instructions - just report for duty.
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.

When I say "I am a Christian"
by Carol Wimmer
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."
When I say..."I am a Christian"
don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
