GOOD NEWS - Paul writes from prison

AP - An important psychological barrier gave way on Wall Street Thursday as the Dow Jones industrials fell to their lowest level in more than six years. The Dow broke through a bottom reached in November, pulled down by sharp declines in key financial shares. It was the lowest ending for the Dow since Oct. 9, 2002, when the last bear market bottomed out. __________________________ Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. __________________________ There is a sense in which we must all tell our stories from the "prisons of our circumstances" - to encourage one another. There is no doubt in my mind that the beleiver in Jesus Christ is "held captive" by "the rulers of the darkness" of this present world. ..."the thing that I will, I do not "- St. Paul We should not, however, allow the things which we cannot do, to stop us from doing the things which we can do ! Paul and Silas were in Jail. Hands and feet in stocks....but their mouths were unstopped, their voices were clear.... they sang songs of praise....at midnight !! So what about us ? Imprisoned , hindered in a Godless culture... Bound hand and feet sometimes by economic and other stressors. Surrounded by fellow-prisoners...the unbeleiving of which are mostly hopeless in their attitudes. What can we do? Rejoice in the Lord always.....rejoice evermore In everything ....give thanks Pray without ceasing Why?.... the battle is the Lord's if God be for us, who can be against us... nothing can separate us from the love of God if in this life only we have hope, we are of alll men most miserable.... HE will never leave or forsake us those who live and beleive will never die !!!! Two thing upset Jesus a lot as He moved about the community Hypocrisy and unbeleif... where is your faith today? let us keep singing in the confinement (prisons) of our circumstances. let us keep telling our stories - writing from prison. GOD IS IN CONTROL. AMEN. ________________ Sing When the day is bright Sing through the darkest night Every day, All the way Let us sing, sing, Sing !!!
