I believe in God the Father Almighty, who created heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven from which He will come and judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Universal (catholic) Church. The Communion of the Saints. The forgiveness of sins. The Resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

Today is 09/11/1024. Do you remember this day twenty-three years ago? Do you remember where you were; or, what you were doing?

I was in the parsonage at Greenhill UMC. I was on the phone to the Ford dealership trying to make a deal on a car for our son; Matthew. The salesman screamed turn on your television! I did, just in time to see the second plane fly into the second tower while the first one was already in flames. I shouted for Rubi to turn the TV on in the living room. I made my way there somehow. I do not remember anymore conversation with that car salesman, or even if I hung up my phone. Rubi and I prayed together. We prayed for our country, peace in the world and for all of our military.
I remember thinking that the USA might have to call up all the older able bodied veterans and that the draft would be started back. I prayed especially for our children that they would never experience what we Vietnam and Vietnam Era Veterans had to experience. About 11:00 I started calling church members and opened the front doors to the church in case people wanted to come and pray. That evening was very somber.

When I finally played down for bed that night and prayed, I remember my thoughts were that we were going to experience either WW III, or Armageddon.

What I also remember was that has far as I could tell no one showed up at the church that day to pray. However, we did have a larger crowd Sunday morning than normal but, that only lasted a week or two.

Our son did join the Army in 2003. He spent 9 1/2 years and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He came home and was classified 100% disabled by the VA. Thank God he came back! Many sons and daughters, husbands and wives, dads and moms, uncles and aunts did not.

On this “9/11” my prayers are for our country to come back into a more United State, than we have been over the past 15 or so years.

Father God we pray for peace in the Middle East, in the world, in Israel, here at home, and Lord in our own hearts. Lord may You bless America and all the world with a great revival in the Name above all names, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer for my daughter, DeAnna Taylor who is in surgery right now. She has recently formed a ministry to help homeless people here in Jasper, AL, and I know she wants to heal and get on with the Lord’s work she has been called to do. Thank you.

The Pastor’s Quill:

God is the source of all we need. God is a good good Father. His wisdom is so great. His grace is powerful and given to all who will open their heart and receive Him. May God bless you today .

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones” (Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV).

As a family member or friend, please call me so I can rebuild my contacts. My old phone slipped from my hands, and despite the efforts of all the king's horses and men, my poor phone couldn't be mended. I've lost about 900 photos and my entire contact list. TIA

The Pastor's Quill: There has been a loss of something of utmost importance in our world today. Many have forgotten that the Lord is to be revered, honored, feared and worshipped above anything else. As a 69 year old I have watched our world change. In some ways it is much better. The increase in technology has brought us nearer to interstellar travel than ever before. Health care has improved in unbelievable ways. Civil rights in the United States, is overall, more instilled into our thinking than anytime in the past. Transportation is more advanced than ever before. The communication system of our time is phenomenal. Imagine we can face time with someone anywhere around the planet. However, if we leave God out of the equation, we are worse off for it. Every ethical question, or decision, we make is made from our core beliefs. If we have no respect for God, or some form of higher power, the only basis we have for making a decision comes from our core beliefs in the society we live in. Without a belief in God, we have no understanding of what it means to love each other. If we reject God then we are lost to our own devices and have become fools.
"For the fool has said in his heart, there is no God"(Psalm 14:1). Therefore, learn this:
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you" (Proverbs 9:10,11 NKJV).

The Pastor's Quill:

A New Era Unfolds as the Day of the Lord Draws Near.

" Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord. For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth" (Psalm 96: 12-13 NKJV).
Let's all get ready!
