So guess what I am doing today?? I am going with my Dad and some friends to the shooting range to shoot some guns. A 45 Automatic, a Glock 40, a S&W 357M, and an AR15 are just a few of what is on the menu for today. Sounds liks a BLAST huh! HA!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it... Blast!!! : )

Then my Dad and I will be grilling Shish-Ka-Bobs and Steak. What a fabulous day!

So, listen closely: Sunday Night is going to be a really neat service: Pastor Chip wants to have a testimony service and It is going to be great! Me, my Mom, and my sister will be singing, and dancing. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS! (Just kidding about the dancing part by the way). Anyways, Come Sunday Night for a great time and maybe we can all go out afterwards or something! See you then!!

A Few Thoughts From Yesterday:
Josh: I dont think that Amanda has any DDR Skills anymore... although I could be wrong. Amanda Yagami is Josh LaPerriere, remember the asian kid that looks like a panda bear? Yeah, well if you read this then tell Him if you still DDR or not. :) Thanks!
Rachel: So how was your fun night with slippers? I am glad that you were "comfy". By the way: Great application with modern culture: You said "we often play with phones and stuff and show the same kind of disrespect" Great Job!
Gaby: Way to put this into perspective!!! I would be ticked if I came home and there were sheep sellers all over my house! We mustnot desrespect the house of God!
Amy: CONGRATS!! No more School! and I am glad that you will be doing your devotions while you are in Texas! Hurry Home!
Jessica: Cool stuff: "Jesus was not acting out of a moment of anger, but he was purifying the church" Think about that: That passage said that He went and made some kind of whip. That is no 30 sec. task. You are exactly right in your application!
Jonathan Massey: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Lucy Janusz: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Everyone Else: HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY!!!

Ok, Now... TO THE DEVO'S:

John 2:23-25
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,
25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

ONLY THREE VERSES??? Yes: And this should be pretty easy for you, but if you really think about it; it should be convicting as well! Jesus was in Jerusalem, and when all the people of the city saw the things that Christ had done: They Believed!! What have you seen in your life, that you can say: I saw Christ do this in my life: and thats why I believe.

For me personally, I saw what Christ did for me on the cross, and I saw how much He loved me through His word. I could not turn down the greatest love I had ever received!! Since I accepted Christ I have seen him show signs of His working in my life over and over! It is an invredible thing to the visible evidence that our invisible God gives us to show his love for us!

Verses 24 and 25 go on to talk about how Jesus did not put His endorsement on any man, because He knows the heart of man. Jesus knows how deceitful mans heart is; in fact He calls it desparately wicked! Pray that God will help you to stay faithful to Him! No man is above the deceitfulness of his heart. We must constantly feed our heart the word of God to keep it on track with God.

Hope this helps! Come on tomorrow! We will have somthing fun for you to do!!
Love you all! Pastor Lee
