"God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises...leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself." ~
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (He died at the hands of the Nazis.) ~ "At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God." (Prison doctor witness to Bonhoeffer's death)

This Sunday's Sermon- A "Did Not" That is Now A "Do Not!"
We will be looking at a verse of Scripture together on Sunday (The Lord willing) that gives us some very definitive instruction about how we should view other people, even the world. The phrase "did not" we find in this verse sure challenges one of the things that religion is often too good at doing. Come and listen to this message of freedom.
Invite a friend to come with you this Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

Father O'Shea, the parish priest in the village, was giving a sermon about charity. He said, "The trouble with the world today is that some people have too much and others have too little. We must give of ourselves and our worldly goods to help the less fortunate." He said to Harrigan, "If you had ten thousand pounds, wouldn't you give half of it to the poor?"
He said, "I would that, Father." The priest said, "If you had two greyhounds, wouldn't you give one of them to your neighbor next door?" Harrigan said, "No." The priest said, "And why not?" He said, "I have two greyhounds."
