Pointer Organist JoAnn Pointer 1420 N. Florida Ave. Tampa, FL Fret Not Thyself Far in the future Lieth a fear, Like a long, low mist of grey, Gathering to fall in dreary rain; Thus doth thy heart within thee complain. And even now thou art afraid, for thy dwelling The flying winds are ever telling Of fear that lieth grey Like a gloom of brooding mist upon the way. But the Lord is always kind; Be not blind, be not blind To the shining of His face, To the comfort of His grace. Hath He ever failed thee yet? Never, never. Wherefore fret? O fret not thyself nor let Thy heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid. Near, by thy thy footfall, Springeth a joy, Like a new-blown little flower Growing for thee, to make thee glad. Let thy countenance be no mare sad, But wake the voice of joy and health within thy dwelling, And let thy tongue be ever telling, Not of fear that lieth grey, But of little laughing flowers beside the way. But the Lord is always kind; Be not blind, be not blind To the shining of His face, To the comfort of His grace. Hath He ever failed thee yet? Never will His love forget. O fret not thyself, nor let Thy heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid. Amy Carmichael

A DC AIRPORT AGENT SHOWS WHY OUR COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE! Senator Dianne Feinstein (D) called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?'' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane. She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!'' INTERESTING FACT ABOUT WALMART Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world. YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN THE 21 ST CENTURY Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF: You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to. SOME WISE SAYINGS A skeptic is a person who when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it's a forgery. PROVERBS FOR LIVING A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Proverbs 16:9

3 If We Could Cast Our Care O Lord, how happy should we be If we could cast our care on Thee, If we from self could rest, And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. How far from this our daily life, Ever disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden wild alarms. O could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On Thine almighty arms. Could we but kneel and cast our load, E en while we pray, upon our God, Then rise with lightened cheer, Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven s cry, Will hear, in that we fear. Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Thy lessons learn from birds and flowers: Make them from self to cease, Leave all things to a Father s will, And taste, before Him lying atill, E en in affliction, peace. Joseph Anstice Words of Light Fear thou not the cloudy evening. By dim waters fireflies glisten; Mid the dark leaves of the tree Starry hosts are moving; listen, Listen, for they speak to thee: My Lord will take care of me. Fear not the moonless darkness. Moonless nights discover fireflies, Star-seeds of eternity, Luminous when common day dies. Words of light are sown for thee: My Lord will take care of me. Amy Carmichael

6 03/14/10 Faith as a Mustard Seed Mark 11:11-23 Romans 3:4 (Mark 11:22) And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. (Mark 11:23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Eph 2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; (James 5:15) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, (James 1:5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:6) But let him ask in faith, (Luke 17:6) And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Mat 17:20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Rom 3:4) God forbid: yea, let God be true, (Eccl 3:11) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: (Mark 4:26-29) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (Psa 37:7) Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself (Heb 11:6) But without faith it is impossible to please him: (Rom 1:17) as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Mat 17:19-20) Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: (Luke 17:5) And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. (Mark 4:40) And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? (Mat 6:30) O ye of little faith? (Heb 11 ) (Heb 12:1) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (Rom 4:20) He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (Mat 13:31-32) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
