TRUE LOVE
CHURCH IS CANCELLED (2/14)
Although I miss worshiping God with you and your fellowship, we believe it is wisest to cancel services again for today. Another storm is on the horizon and some weather forecasters are saying that we might not get a break until March (hopefully, March will come in like a lamb!).
As you know, the needs of the church go on–even when we cannot meet. One of our folks sent their giving by check made out to our church to our treasurer, Betty Jo. I am going to do the same.
Pray for one another. Pray for me and my family. Pray for Pastor Luke, Amanda and Kate. Pray for the church.

Psalm 137 If I forget thee, Jerusalem
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

How Good It Is To Thank The Lord Hymn
How Good It Is To Thank The Lord Hymn
How good it is to thank the Lord,
And praise to Thee, Most High, accord,
To show Thy love with morning light,
And tell Thy faithfulness each night;
Yea, good it is Thy praise to sing,
And all our sweetest music bring.
O Lord, with joy my heart expands,
Before the wonders of Thy hands;
Great works, Jehovah, Thou hast wrought,
Exceeding deep Thine every thought;
A foolish man knows not their worth,
Nor he whose mind is of the earth.
When as the grass the wicked grow,
When sinners flourish here below,
Then is there endless ruin nigh,
But Thou, O Lord, art throned on high;
Thy foes shall fall before Thy might,
The wicked shall be put to flight.
Thou, Lord, hast high exalted me
With royal strength and dignity;
With Thine anointing I am blest,
Thy grace and favor on me rest;
I thus exult o’er all my foes,
O’er all that would my cause oppose.
The righteous man shall flourish well,
And in the house of God shall dwell;
He shall be like a goodly tree,
And all his life shall fruitful be;
For righteous is the Lord and just,
He is my Rock, in Him I trust.

Pro-abortion arguments refuted:

To the Editor:
Pro-abortion people say dumb things: “Abortion isn’t killing. A fetus isn’t alive, it’s just tissue.” Yet, how can something that’s growing not be alive? Biology says that the fetus is alive, and abortion makes it dead. Isn’t that killing?
“A fetus isn’t human.” What is it? A dog? A fish? A rutabaga? If a being has human parents, isn’t it human? If it isn’t a baby human, the woman is not pregnant.
“Abortion just terminates a pregnancy.” No! Childbirth terminates a pregnancy, is abortion the same as childbirth?
“A fetus is just a microscopic piece of tissue.” Aren’t we all “pieces of tissue” in different sizes? Are bigger people, more valuable people? Is Refrigerator Perry more valuable than Gary Coleman?
“It’s just a part of the woman’s body.” If that’s true then pregnant women have two brains, two hearts, 20 fingers and toes, two blood types, two sets of DNA, and a penis half the time!
“No one knows when life begins. It’s a religious question.” Can a Satanist kill a two-year-old in a ritual sacrifice? After all no one knows when life begins and that’s what his religion says.
“My body, my choice!” What about the child’s body and his or her choice?
“A woman has a right to privacy.” Does a woman have a right to abuse her two year old in private?
“We shouldn’t force our morality on other people.” Isn’t a mother who aborts her child forcing her morality on her child?
“I’m personally opposed to abortion, but I wouldn’t take away a woman’s choice to have one.” Why are you personally opposed to abortion? Would you be personally opposed to slavery but not take away the choice to own a slave?
“Abortion is a private decision between a woman and her doctor.” If a woman privately hires a doctor to kill her born child, should we interfere?
“What about children who will have terrible lives or live in poverty?” Do we need to kill them to save them from poverty or problems?
“Abortion is legal.” So was slavery. What is legal isn’t always right.
“Do you want women to die in dangerous ‘back-alley’ abortions?” No, the death of the mother would be just as tragic as the death of the child. Can’t we have a world where neither dies?
“You’re a man. You don’t have a uterus. You have no right to tell me what to do!” The entire Supreme Court that decided the Roe vs. Wade decision were men. Should we ignore that court decision legalizing abortion?
“Pro-lifers are fanatics that bomb clinics, shoot abortion doctors and break the law!” Why do you think Pro-lifers do those things? I am Pro-life and do not do or advocate those things. However, I am glad that you agree that it’s terrible when people harm those that they consider “unwanted.” That’s why I oppose abortion.

Mormon Nutcases in Government
Mitt Mormony, Harry-kari Reid and Wrecks Rammell: Super Mormon
POLITICAL NUTCASES:
Mitt Mormony wears holy underwear.
Harry Reid was taught by the LDS (Mormon) Church that ALL blacks were cursed. Hence, a black Mormon male could not hold the highly regarded LDS Priesthood1 because of his dark skin. And since he could not hold this Priesthood, he could not enter the Mormon Temple http://www.christiandefense.org/mor_black.htm
Rex Rammell (GOP gubernatorial candidate in Idaho )says he will hold a series of special meetings with men who are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Standard Journal reports that Rammell says the meetings aren’t intended to be secret but he doesn’t want people who “don’t believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet” to attend.
Rammell says the meeting will include discussion of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith’s “prophecy that the Constitution will be hanging by a thread and that the Latter-day Saint elders will step forward and save it.” http://www.localnews8.com/global/story.asp?s=11718082
