Trilacoochee church of Christ

Trilacoochee church of Christ Trilacoochee church of Christ It is the church you read about in the New Testament (Romans 16:16). It is built by Jesus Christ and not by man (Matthew 16:16-18).

We are a body of baptized believers who seek to do all things after the New Testament: "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11). It is the realm of salvation into which men and women are added by the Lord when they obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38-47).

Murphy’s Laws
Murphy’s Laws are amusing observations about life that seem to have the weight of experience behind them. You’ve probably heard this one: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” “The other line moves faster.” Golden rule of arts and sciences.” “Law of evolving systems dynamics.” Segal’s Law. and Jennings Corollary, which is my favorite: it states “Murphy was an optimist.”
Here’s one that seems to be based on Bible principles: “You can’t do just one thing; everything has its consequences.” I thoroughly love Murphy’s Laws, at the same time I have heard from many who strongly dislike them.
My own experience seems to confirm many of Murphy’s Laws, but it’s that second one that would make a good motto. Wrong choices have their consequences. For example, if we choose to live for pleasure, it will affect our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (Ex. 20:4-5 - “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me”). If we walk away from God, we may discover that our children have taken that trip with us. Later, even if we return to Him, they may not.
But there is also good news. Devotion to the Lord has its consequences too. Men and women who live in faith before God can have a strong influence on their children and their children’s children. If they live a long life, they can witness the effect their faith has had on several generations.
Murphy and the Bible agree on this point: “Everything has its consequences.” People who follow Christ lead others in the right direction.
“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (Deut. 6:5-9).

“You Would Get a Donkey”
“I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also” (Rom. 16:1-2).
Phoebe of Cenchrea did more than just bake the communion bread and teach children‘s Bible classes. And my brothers and sisters, you would do well to do a Biblical study of what it means to be a helper of the church without the preconceived ideas often brought to such studies
One devout evangelist, who preaches in Africa, tells the story of taking his wife with him on some of his preaching trips. When his wife is with him, she is swarmed by Christian women wanting her to teach their ladies’ Bible classes and to speak to impromptu gatherings of women and children; and, these African women’s husbands are so eager to have her come to teach their wives that they go beyond the call of duty to facilitate her needs and make her comfortable. When this preacher noted they offered his wife the best car in the neighborhood, he asked what transportation they would get for him if his wife had not come. “Oh good brother, you would get a donkey.” While amusing, this illustrates how hungry some communities are for the teaching of godly women. We need more women to do Titus 2 teaching.
“The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things-- that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed” (Titus 2:3-5).

Don’t Blame God
During a television interview, David Frost asked former president George Bush how he could square his belief in a loving and all-powerful God with the miseries and injustices of life. Frost reminded Bush of the time he shed tears at the sight of starving children and of his grief when his own daughter had died.
President Bush said, "It never occurred to me to blame God for that." He insisted that the Lord has provided enough food for everyone, but that starvation occurs because of human greed and ineptitude. The President said that his daughter's illness had drawn the family closer to one another and to God. He was comforted because he knew that she had been caught up in the arms of her loving heavenly Father.
Like those starving children, we may suffer because of the greed and selfishness of others. Like the Bush family, we may endure sorrow for reasons we can't understand. Or we may suffer because of our own sin, as Jeremiah recounted in his lament for the wayward tribe of Judah (Lam. 1:5). In any case, we can trust God and say with the psalmist, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted" (Psalm 119:71). With confidence, we can ask with Abraham, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Gen. 18:25).

A Sincere Apology
Lloyd Ogilvie, the chaplain of the US Senate, tells about a time when he was having lunch with a prominent businessman. A woman, who recognized the executive, walked over to their table and greeted him with a hefty slap on his back, causing him to spill coffee on his suit. Then with a flamboyant gesture, she tossed her fur stole over her shoulder, brushing Dr. Ogilvie full in the face. "Oh, I'm so sorry," she apologized. The executive looked her straight in the eye and said, "Ma'am, don't be sorry, be different!"
When we sin, the Lord isn't interested in just a quick apology. He looks for a different attitude and a change of behavior. Scripture calls this godly sorrow that leads to repentance. “Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death” (2Cor. 7:9-10).

The Seven Beatitudes of Revelation
1. Blessed is he that reads this prophecy - Rev. 1:3.
2. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord - Rev. 14:13
3. Blessed is he that watches for the Lord’s coming - Rev. 16:15
4. Blessed are those bidden to the Lamb’s marriage supper - Rev.19:9
5. Blessed is he that has part in the first resurrection - Rev.20:6
6. Blessed is he that keeps the Words of this Book - Rev. 22:7
7. Blessed are they that do His commandments - Rev. 22:14
It is symmetrical that in the Sermon on the Mount near the beginning of the New Testament, Jesus delivers nine Beatitudes or “Blesseds” in His first recorded sermon; and then, in the last book of the New Testament, Revelation, Jesus delivers to John seven more. The first nine appear designed to transform our lives, and the last seven seem to be for the purpose of making that transformation permanent. There is an old saying: “Well begun is half done.” Starting the journey to heaven is the first part; continuing the journey for the rest of one’s life is the other half.
