True love, John and Judy Conner, celebrating 61 years of marriage.
Unfortunately, John recently went home to the Lord, to hear the words: “Well done my good and faithful servant. ”
John and Judy were the grand old couple. John often said he started coming to Franklin Memorial United Methodist Church because of a pretty young girl who wouldn’t leave the church and who loved the Lord.
He found the Lord and became a lay leader and speaker, teaching Sunday School, and giving the childrens message during Sunday Service.
While Judy was the choir leader and involved with everything the church was doing.
True love for sure and true servants of the Lord. Do’ers the word.
Our little church will miss this man and I thank the Lord for allowing me to know this couple.
Thanks for visiting.

Isaiah 26:3
King James Version (KJV)
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Do you really trust the Lord? Are you concerned, worried, wondering who, what, when, where, how?
Psalm 16:11
King James Version (KJV)
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
I believe this and feel, I live this. I am not always smiling or happy but the joy of Salvation is in my heart. I have no fear of this life, I try not to have concerns about money or health issues. “The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want. ”
I have experienced the Lords supply many times in my walk with Him. He doesn’t always meet my time table but He always comes through.
Romans 12:3. Tells us God gives everyone a Measure of Faith. We choose to activate it when we repent, confess and accept Jesus as both Lord and Savior.
Then it is up to us to increase, to build up the Faith we have received. We do this by reading the Word, by stepping out in that Faith, sharing the Love and Grace, (Gods unmerited Forgiveness and Favor, Salvation).
James 2:26
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
For Faith is not passive but demands action.
Jude 1:20
King James Version (KJV)
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
Praying in the Holy Ghost or Spirit, that my friend is Praying in Tongues. ..This is where being Filled with the Spirit comes in.
The Lord doesn’t appear to give a measure of the Holy Spirit : He certainly filled Jesus.
John 3:34
King James Version (KJV)
“For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.”
When we receive the Lord we receive the Spirit in Full, someone came up with what we have called the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
I have thought of it this way for over 30 years, the Baptism of the Spirit as a second blessing. An immersion into and of Gods Spirit.
Always hearing those who don’t speak in tongues arguing, if I didn’t have the Holy Spirit, I couldn’t have been saved.
Peter and Paul both asked: “Have you received the Holy Spirit since you’ve believed? “
They then prayed :
Acts 2:4
King James Version (KJV)
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Some point out speaking in tongues is not always mentioned, true; but it is not ruled out either.
Paul encouraged us to be filled with the Spirit :
What have we done?
Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy:
These words from Isaiah 9, apply to our Churches today. So many Churches, reverential, solemn, ritualistic, formal. Hymns, music so wordy no one knows what it means.
Romans 12:3
King James Version (KJV)
” For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
Have you ever noticed, That God gives us all a measure of faith But fills us with the Holy Spirit.
What’s that all about?
Do you think of your church as a hospital, where the sick and hurting come to heal? That’s how alot of people think.
It explains why so many continue hurting, they never seem to heal, they are continually recovering. Never getting better.
If you check my archives, you will see I have written of this before. That is why you see “The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station”.
I found some new wrinkles. Continue reading

I’ve been feeling forgotten, the Lord has been distant, uncaring, I ‘ve prayed for nought. No answer, silence, is the Lord taking a walk?
Maybe He is napping? Mayhaps He has taken His hand off the tiller of my life?
I have been floundering, sinking, lost in the storm.
” at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, ” 2 Samuel 11
The story of Davids fall and our fall also.
Instead of leading his people in battle, the king is relaxing on his couch. Going to his roof, looking about for something to interest him.
When we are looking for something, rather than doing what we should, the Devil is always willing to provide.
Are any beyond this temptation? Continue reading
How long, oh Lord? How long will the heavens be as brass? How long will You ignore me?

“The Lord watches over His Word to perform it”
If it’s scripture, what’s the address?
I hope my comment box is back now. Please comment.
Last Tuesday in our mens meeting, both of these phrases were mentioned. “By this I know and I am fully persuaded.”
They are both found in Scripture.
By this I know :
* The word of the Lord in your mouth is true. Her son was raised from the dead. (1 Kings 17)
By this I know :
* That you love me, because my enemy did not triumph over me. (Psalm 41)
By this I know:
* When I cry unto you, my enemies turn away, because you are for me. (Psalm 56)
I am fully persuaded :
* That what you have promised, will be done.
(Romans 4)
Do you know? Are you fully persuaded?

The writer of Proverbs says, let thine heart. Let thine heart, sounds like something our heart desires to do, that we need to let it do.
I believe this to be true. All of mankind is seeking and searching for something bigger than themselves. Some look for it in science, some look for it in false religions and some find it in Christ.
In Proverbs three, the writer said: ” <strong>My son forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments.”

1 Samuel 2:35
King James Version (KJV)
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
What is a faithful priest?
