Florida Ave. Tampa, FL 33602 www.geconline.org 813-273-4469 Mighty God, While Angels Bless Thee Mighty God, while angels bless Thee, May a mortal lisp Thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art ev ry creature s theme; Lord of ev ry land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded thro the wide creation--- Be Thy just and endless praise. For the grandeur of Thy nature, Grand beyond a seraph s tho t For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; For Thy providence, that governs Thro Thine empire s wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, Blessed by Thy gentle reign. But Thy rich, Thy free redemption, Bright, tho veiled in darkness long, Tho t is poor, and poor expression, Who can sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father s glory, Shall Thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence! Sing the Lord Who came to die. From the highest throne of glory To the cross of deepest woe, Thou didst stoop to ransom captives; Flow my praise, forever flow. Reascend, immortal Savior, Leave Thy footstool, take Thy throne; Thence, return, and reign forever; Be the kingdom all Thine own! Robert Robinson

A MERRY HEART DOETH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE QUESTIONS FROM MAXINE If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

Proverbs 20:14
This Moment He s helping me now---this moment, Though I may not see it or hear, Perhaps by a friend far distant, Perhaps by a stranger near, Perhaps by a spoken message, Perhaps by the printed word; I have the help of the lord. He s keeping me now---this moment, However I need it most, Perhaps by a single angel, Perhaps by a mighty host, Perhaps by the chain that frets me, Or the walls that shut me in; He keeps me from harm or sin. He s guiding me now---this moment, In pathways easy or hard, Perhaps by a door wide open, Perhaps by a door fast barred, Perhaps by a joy withholden, Perhaps by a gladness given; He s leading me up to heaven He s using me now----this moment, And whether I go or stand, Perhaps by a plan accomplished, Perhaps when He stays my hand, Perhaps by a word in season, Perhaps by a silent prayer; His labor of love I share.

06/24/12 The Controversy of God Isaiah 43:10 Hebrews 11:6 (2 Cor 5:19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (Gen 3:8-10) (Rom 5:6) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (Rom 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom 5:10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Psa 10:4) The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. (Col 1:21) And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled (Rom 8:7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (James 4:4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (Ezek 18:25-29) (John 14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (Acts 4:12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 16:30-31) And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Rom 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 10:14-15) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (John 6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: (Eph 2:8-9) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Titus 3:4-5) But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (Eph 2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; (Rom 10:17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (James 1:18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, (James 1:21) receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. (1 Pet 1:23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (Eph 6:17) the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (John 3:3, 5) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Titus 3:5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (Eph 5:26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (John 15:3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. (John 16:7-8) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: (John 1:1, 14) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (Heb 11:3) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Psa 33:6, 9) By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.... For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. (Psa 19:1-3) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. (Psa 139:7-13) (Rom 10:8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (Acts 10:34) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: (Rev 3:20) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Rom 12:3) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. (Rom 10:8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (Jer 29:13) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Acts 17:27) That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: (John 1:9) That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (Col 1:5-6) For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: (Col 1:23) If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; (Titus 2:11) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (Gen 6:8) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Rom 1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Heb 4:1-2) Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (Psa 19:1-3) (Psa 139:7-13) (Jn 16:7-8) (1 Pet 2:12) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
