What a blessing to gather together as friends and sisters in Christ. Gina continues to inspire us with her special Storytimes... remember to be faithful in the revealed will of God in your life! This month we were so excited to be able to share part one of Darlene Deibler Rose's testimony on dvd! The God of the Bible, with all His ancient power, is our same God today! We are including some of our notes...
• Darlene and her mother walked 4 miles in a blizzard to find God in a church... that would take well over an hour, one way! -are you giving your ALL to seek Him? are you that desperate?
• They prayed earnestly for all their family to come to know Christ, claiming the verse from Acts 16:31, So they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household. -whose salvation are you praying for? why not begin today?
• Darlene gave her whole life to Jesus... whatever the cost... she would go where He said. She walked before Him with nothing between her soul and the Savior -what might you be holding back from God? Hymn: Nothing Between
Nothing between my soul and the Savior, Naught of this world's delusive dream; I have renounced all sinful pleasure; Jesus is mine, there's nothing between.
Nothing between, like worldly pleasure; Habits of life, though harmless they seem, Must not my heart from Him e'er sever; He is my all, there's nothing between.
Nothing between, like pride or station; Self or friends shall not intervene; Though it may cost me much tribulation, I am resolved; there's nothing between.
Nothing between, e'en many hard trials, Though the whole world against me convene; Watching with prayer and much self-denial, I'll triumph at last, with nothing between.
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favor, Keep the way clear! Let nothing between. ~Charles A. Tindley, 1905
She checked everything with her Lord. -you can have a relationship with the Lord like this too!
• Darlene said, "God is in all the details of my life!" -do you think any details of your current situation have escaped God's eyes?
• She learned from people of God. Absorbed from those who knew God. -who in your life can you be absorbing encouragement from?
• Harbor Lights. Suffering. Sorrow. -put God in charge to guide
Darlene said, "I thank God for every storm that has shipwrecked me upon the Rock Christ Jesus, and there I stand."
• What are beautiful feet? bring a message of HOPE to those around you!
• People are important - things are not. We used to love people and use things. But now we use people and love things. Love people. Use things.
