Daily Dose of God’s Glorious Love

In this part of the Christian ear here is a study on Christ and Him Crucified Christ, and Him Crucified By Ronald Ramsey Updated March 2004 Offered that Jesus Christ would be glorified and that as He is lifted up all will be drawn to Him! Christ, and Him Crucified By Ronald Ramsey When I first became a Christian I was interested in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I looked for any information I could find, but there was very little available. Once I went to a Christian Bookstore and asked for some books about the crucifixion. The clerk gave me a look of disgust and asked why I would want to study something like that. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the foundation on which Christians live their lives and place their hope for the future. Yet in our times we often see it as something disgusting, or horrible. Many find songs about the blood of Jesu

High Place I look high to see my help You Oh Lord are my help I look high for my hope You Oh Lord are my hope I look high for my life You Oh Lord are my life I look high to see my Lord You Oh God are my Lord    2/ 2010

Is this my own fleshly thorn? To be this lifetime borne? Is God the author of this pain? Is it because of my own stain? Questions many answers few When will this pain be through? Is God too small or pain too large? Does pain my strength enlarge? Will answers decrease my pain? Will they decrease my stain? Is it forgiveness that I need? Or His laws should I heed? Or is pain a part of life? Lived in such varied strife? If not our own than others Jailed in pain like brothers Some pain is our very own Some by others is strown Like seeds of death they bloom Growing into our own doom Found and lost all the same Caught in this painful game Paying the price for mans sin Until we can begin again Jesus is our hope and healing For pains terrible dealing One day the end will come at last When life begins and darkness past

At this time of congregations not meeting because of the Corona virus I hope this lesson will be of help. A Worship Decoder All around you in the sanctuary are symbols that are codes to understanding the God we worship and how we should worship Him. Here are the meanings of the codes you see every Sunday. Colors : The colors for the Altar clothes and other items have their own meaning. White: purity and holiness Red: redemption, salvation sacrifice Purple: royalty and power Green: new life and provision What do these colors teach you about Jesus? The Altar The altar is a reminder that Jesus is the Lamb of God sacrificed for us so all items on the altar represents Jesus. Everything on the Altar should say something about Jesus! Cross: reminds us that Jesus gave Himself for us. It also shows we should be firmly established with God (vertical post) in order to reach out to the lost and our brothers and sisters in Jesus (left and right arms). Offering plates:

Today is a Day of prayer for the terrible menace of the Corona virus. President Trump has called for Americans to take time to pray for help from God as we go through the plague of the Corona virus. Cases are growing exponentially and the death rate is also. The lives of many have been dramatically changed and the world economy is under great stress. God may your will be done and may hearts of stone break to become hearts of flesh and of love. 3/15/2020

Revealing Looking through a dusty glass A shiny luster more than brass A glow that invades my sight My vision seared by this light I want to focus so I may see Through the glass who may be My eyes are forced to look away Pushed back though I long to stay I try again and the pain is intense Without wanting to I must wince The tears are not just from pain From being withheld by sins stain A smile is all that I can see “You will soon be able to see” The voice soothes my troubled soul Though it sounds like a thunders roll The light is felt more than seen My heart and soul are left serene I will wait for that blessed day When before Him I will stay

     Today is Care Cuts where homeless people are fed, have a shower, get new clothes, get a hair cut and generally given dignity. Homeless people are so often ignored by people and even worse the Church.      When I was able I served Communion and though just a few received many were touched. One lady who still attended worship services cried because she was not allowed to receive Communion!      They are still loved by God! Those with faith in God are still part of the Body. I feel for those who are homeless but I fear for Christians who sit silently by while others suffer so much!      Pray for those who put themselves on the line to serve those God loves and encourage and support them in a ministry of hope love and offering dignity!
