Hello Everyone,

Here is this week’s bulletin. Don’t forget our anniversary celebration this Sunday.

Sincerely,

• PDF Bulletin FFC November 9 2014

Hello All,

The Apostle Paul wants to clarify some things in this week’s text. The law is good, really good, even holy. Just in case we were getting the wrong impression. The law is not the problem. We are the problem, the sin that dwells in us.

• (Romans 7:12 ESV) So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

We are in a terrific battle with sin that we would surely lose … but “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

In spite of all the darkness in our battle with these sinful bodies, we must remember at least two things. One, we may lose some battles but we have won the war. And, two, we have a strong Deliverer in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

Good Morning to You,

Election Day around the country. So thankful that I am one of the elect of God Most High, Sovereign Ruler of the Universe. Amen!

Here is a PDF of a sermon by Francis Schaeffer. A MUST READ for all who want a realistic view of the world around them. Extremely helpful in our personal relationships with believers and unbelievers alike. We are great and we are a mess. We must embrace both.

First an excerpt, then the PDF download.

• THE WEAKNESS OF GOD’S SERVANTS
  If someone asked us, “What is the Bible?” we probably would not begin our answer by saying, “The Bible is a realistic book.” Yet in the twentieth century this might be the best place to start—to stress the realism of the Bible in contrast to the romanticism which characterizes the twentieth-century concept of religion. To most modern people, truth is to be sought through some sort of leap from which we extract our own personal religious experiences.

  Many feel that the Bible should portray a romantic view of life, but the Bible is actually the most realistic book in the world. It does not glibly say, “God’s in His heaven—all’s right with the world!” It faces the world’s dilemmas squarely. Yet, unlike modern realism which ends in despair, it has answers for the dilemmas. And, unlike modern romanticism, its answers are not optimism without a sufficient base, not hope hung in a vacuum.

  So we should say at once to twentieth-century people: the Bible is a tough-fibered book.

• The Weakness of God’s Servants: PDF The Weakness of God’s Servants – Schaeffer from “No Little People”

Hello All,

A revelation … God does not save us to accomplish and fulfill our purposes. Surprise, surprise. He saves us to fulfill his plan and purpose. Hmm … Could have had a V8!

QUESTION #1: Am I bearing fruit for death, or am I bearing fruit for God?

QUESTION #2: Am I amazed at the opportunity to bear fruit for God and bring glory to him?

• Amazed … We should be amazed with the opportunity to bear fruit for God … Astonished, astounded, stunned, staggered, shocked, awed, flabbergasted, blown away … filled with wonder.

So are we … filled with wonder and awe?
