Remember 'Love is a Many Splendored Thing' by The Lettermen? Splendor means grand or magnificient. Scripture says that 'God is love'. And, we are commanded to 'love one another'.
I received an unsolicited email last night from a preacher I won't name. He proceeded to talk about fellow Christians (preachers) and the red light went up in my spirit. I thought about how God has commanded us to love our fellow man, and we aren't to be judges. Only God knows the soul of each person, and if he or she has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
We aren't perfect and we all make mistakes. When we start backbiting and sending it through the wires, I feel one has crossed over the line into the enemy's territory. He wants the body of Christ to be in a fit of disarray, to be grumbling between themselves, and passing judgement. I can hear him now, laughing over the email that has no doubt gotten into the hands of many. No doubt many will believe everything this guy has written. I pray that God uses the email to cause us to look at our lives and realize we are an 'open book' to the public. We need to do nothing that would cause the sinner to question our walk with God.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events and reserved for
himself the knowledge of them, that he may train us up in a dependence upon
himself and a continued readiness for every event.

Inner Peace
I am passing this on to you - - - It is definitely working for me.
I think I have found inner peace.
I read an article that said the way to achieve inner peace is to
finish things you had started.
Today I finished two bags of potato chips, a chocolate pie, a
bottle of wine and a small box of chocolate candy.
I feel better already.
Pass this along to those who need Inner Peace....

SNIPPET FROM THE MANTLE
A word or two from ......
CBN.com
By Wendy Griffith, Reporter
WASHINGTON — Many Christian leaders believe there has never been a more critical time to pray for our nation than right now. While the bombs continue to rain down on Afghanistan, many believers are bombarding heaven with passionate pleas to protect our country and restore her biblical roots.

"GOLD DUST" ON THE MANTLE
|
"Grant me, O Lord," said a humble soul, "that I may pass unnoticed through he world."
This should be the wish, or rather the aim, of all true devotion.
Small virtues require the praise of man to sustain them, just as little children require encouragement to walk or stand alone.
But true virtue goes quietly through the world, scattering good round, and performing noble deeds, without even the knowledge that what it does is heroic
