Seafood

This is how we do Christmas gifts. Each child has a stack of gifts.

I have been teaching the children on some basics. For instance, two weeks ago, I taught on the power of the Bible then the next Sunday I taught on Grace. This Sunday I will teach on Ministry to the Poor.

One thing that has amazed me over the years is how giving the children have been. Any offering for the poor or for a funeral and even once we built a small home for a family whose home had burned. The boys would help me as we built churched in various villages.

I gave the Louisiana team my testimony.

Pastor Teddy from Alabama stopped by to bring me seafood from the Gulf Coast.

The Bible gives us strength and guidance when we are struggling. One scripture that really ministers to me is Philippians 4:6/7, “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my right hands.” This scripture says to me that I will never walk alone.

We have only one name left following today. It is the SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION as found in Ephesians 1:17, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you the SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION in the knowledge of Him.” Paul is telling us there are three ingredients to the spiritual life. They are wisdom, revelation and knowledge. Revelation is the process whereas God makes Himself known to man. We have a knowledge of God the more we walk with him is His Word. Wisdom is the ability to apply the facts to practical circumstances.
