SERMON - WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL ABILITY AND ARE YOU USING IT

What is YOUR

Special Ability

And

Are YOU USING IT

 

 

In His wisdom God endowed each of us with not only life but He bestowed upon each of us a ‘special’ ability.

 

I ask each of you to search your life’s work and ask yourself, ‘have I used my ‘special’ ability?’

 

As examples I will list several ‘special’ abilities that God has given us and ask that you give a great deal of thought to this and truthfully reply to your own question asked of, ‘have I used my ‘special’ ability?’

 

Genesis 47:6 ⁶ and the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock."

 

Although it was the Pharaoh that voiced the words it was God that granted any ‘special’ abilities. In this instance the ‘special’ ability grated is the raising of livestock. That may be equated with ranching. 

OBAMA CONTINUES HIS SUPPORT OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD!

Submitted by: Nancy Battle

The man who wrote this interesting and rather up-lifting piece, is a Muslim journalist!

I have said all along (as have others) that the Muslim Brotherhood is bad news! 

Yet Obama is supporting - and arming them....as you all know!

Only in Egypt: Muslims defending churches, Christians protecting mosques!

By Ali Al Sharnoby, Canada Free Press                                                                                  August 20, 2013

Cairo, Egypt

After a long stressful day due to increasingly crazy events and ever changing news, I had to quickly return home before curfew,  which the government imposed to reduce the chances of Muslim Brotherhood violence in the streets.

 As I entered my home,  I heard the bells of the nearby church ringing in a strange way.  Next came screams and the sound of many gunshots.  I told my children to stay away from the balconies, and got ready to defend my family against any possible attack.

OBAMA IS WEAK AND TALKS A LOT (only)

Dear Conservatives, Tuesday evening at the end of his 16 minute speech, President Obama stated, "terrible things happen across the globe...we should act, that's what makes America exceptional." I find his words utterly disgusting because the next day we remembered the four Americans who were abandoned by President Obama to die in Libya. Obama offered no righteous indignation or call for a moral obligation to avenge and punish the Islamic terrorist murderers responsbile for this tragedy. In fact, Obama has labeled it a "phony scandal." Where is the outrage? Christians are being butchered daily...where is his outrage? Israel is taking rocket and missile fire...where is his outrage? The late August chemical attack against the Syrians was not the first. Some 100,000 Syrians had already been killed by conventional munitions...where was his outrage then?

Doctor: Obamacare Must be De-Funded Before Health Care Rationing Begins
As Washington grapples with the question of delaying or de-funding Obamacare, one doctor in Texas says the health care law should be de-funded immediately to ensure patients’ health care is not rationed.

One aspect of rationing could occur if doctors like Dr. Tim Shepherd, who has run a family practice in Lewisville, Texas, for 35 years, are forced to close their doors because the cost of operating the practice outweighs the benefits. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/13/doctor-obamacare-must-be-de-funded-before-health-care-rationing-begins/

CHUCK KOLB - YOM KIPPUR - 09/13/2013

Yom Kippur Service - September 13-14
“It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict yourselves." Leviticus 23:32

Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement, is THE Highest Holy Day of the year. Prophetically, it is the Day of Judgment.
We are called to humble and afflict ourselves through prayer and fasting as we mourn those that do not know Messiah,
those that have been scattered throughout the world and those that are not in covenant. If this were to be the year of the Messiah,
it would be a bitter-sweet day, as although we would have made it in the resurrection of the just,
there would be many that we love that would not.

This is a commanded holy gathering, and there is great power in coming together in repentance.

Gentlemen:

This morning at breakfast I heard the news that those who have heretofore been denied driver's licenses are now able to acquire such licenses. I am thrilled at this advancement, and want to know more.

As an ordained minister with Biblical convictions, I have for years endured persecution and torture for my faith in Jesus Christ because I do not have or use a Social Security Number. I am prevented from working, having a bank account, marrying, having access access to the utilities of water, gas, electricity, etc; and have been denied the ability of renewing my driver's licenses since it became essential to have a Social Security Number.
