Welcome on this Tuesday morning... and a post-Merry Christmas! I hope that you had a very merry Christmas. I know that my family did... plus as a bonus, we enjoyed the presence of Dallas (Angie's dog).
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in the planning and execution of all of the parts that made this past Christmas Sunday such a great worship service. I also appreciated my daughter, Angela Foltz, for coming and sharing her voice with us. What a great day it was.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Ephesians 4 and verse 26 it says,"... Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,". Obviously the context is all about anger and how to deal with it. We need to make sure that we do not harbor anger in our hearts. Don't wait to take action... take action today for today's anger. Forgive now not later... because later may not come. We need to demonstrate love not hate. This is God's will for you.

December 20, 2011... Training Materials
Greetings on this cool Tuesday morning.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank the Flickinger family for lighting our fourth Advent Candle. Well done! I also want to thank Dee Wilson for singing "Breath of Heaven" to all of us... nicely done. Thanks also to Nikki Brand for sharing the Missions Minute with us. Hey, it was good to see Kattie Sutton home from her duty with the Marines. I also want to thank Bud Myers for giving us the Christmas program that was shared Sunday night and Sue Warner and Susan Johnson for overseeing much of the the operations along with all of the teachers and leaders who helped. Special thanks to all participants, young and old, who had a part in the program. Thanks Dee, Linda and choir for your leadership and thanks Mary Hocken and associates, for setting up all of the treats afterward. It was a really great evening... and "God bless us, everyone" (tiny Tim).

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Romans 6 and verse 12 it says, "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires." (NIV). This verse is pretty straight forward. As Christians, we need to understand that we are to be instruments of righteousness, not instruments of unrighteousness. Sin does not have to have control over us. We can choose to say no.

Greetings to you on this Tuesday morning. Illness prevented me from setting the blog up on Monday... sorry!
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank Dan and Marti Herman for their part in the Advent Candle lighting this past Sunday. I also thank Susan and the King's Kids for sharing their song with us. Thanks choir for your message in song.
I was not sure that my voice was going to hold out for the service on Sunday... but it did. For that I am grateful. I just hope that this cold leaves quickly and doesn't turn into something worse.

December 5, 2011... Training Materials
Greetings on this rainy December day.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank all of the ladies who were part of the communion preparation. I also wish to thank Jim and Nikki Brand for participating in the second advent candle lighting. If you were there Sunday, you are aware that I will be doing a series of Christmas messages for the month of December. The series will focus upon gifts that God has given us. Don't miss it. The concluding "gift" will be shared on Christmas day.
SPECIAL NOTE: I thought that you might want to know that our Church participation in Operation Christmas Child resulted in the collection center for our area receiving 7,028 shoe box gifts. WOW!!! Thanks for your help. Mark your calendar for December 18, 2011. This will be our Church Christmas program, "Why Christmas?" It will be at 6 pm.... light refreshments to follow.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In I Peter 3: 3 and 4 it says, "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." [NIV]. Let me make a couple of observations. First, God does not say that we shouldn't look good. The text is contrasting our ideas versus God's ideas. Second, the passage is directed to wives in relationship to their husbands and families. God is more interested in behavior than looks. Third, God values the woman who values her own family over just shallow looks. Read the entire passage from 3: 1-6. Note the word "submissive". This passage is the will of God for you.
