lm< É fretfaesda ______Baptist Retirement Home______ Reflections Last night was the night of the full moon. I sat in awe as I looked up and saw the Big Dipper shining so brightly in the sky. The twinkling stars by the millions shone down on me. I looked up to try to locate some of God’s other wonders in the sky. My, how brightly lit the sky was. 1 stood there for awhile and thought of the wonderful creation that God, our Heavenly Father had made many eons ago and that it is still in place for you and me to see and enjoy today. Have you ever wondered about God’s humor in creating the Zebra and the tiger with their stripes; or the spots on the leopard. Or how about when He added a hump to the back of a camel; or the long swinging trunk of the elephant, or the big tusk of the rhinoceros or the long neck of the giraffe? He also made rabbits to wiggle their noses, and made the deer so fleet in their running. He put a shell on the back of a turtle, wrinkles on bull dogs and He created bats to hang upside down when sleeping. Then there are the varied colors and shapes of the many tropical fish. Even each little bug no matter how small, has variety of shape and color. Each time that we view a lovely sun­rise or sunset, it steals our breath away. He could have made the sunsets gray in­stead of those spectacular colors of rose, and blue, and sometimes bright orange. He wrapped His creation in such splen­dor, all for you and me to enjoy. When we walk in our fields and meadows, we will find beautiful flowers growing amongst the weeds. He did this for you and me to enjoy. Yes God did this and as I stoop to examine them, I say to myself “Dear Lord, I like it. Thank You for cre­ating these lovely things so that even to­day we can enjoy their beauty. ” I am also grateful for so many friends who continue to be interested and who pray for our work here at Bethesda. Our task is not easy, but we know that we are serving our elderly residents who are in need of our loving care. God is the an­swer to all our needs and “we will not be weary in well doing”. “How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would out number the grains of sand. ” (Psalm 139:17-18) Ernest J. Kish 8. oldal_______________________________ Baptists in Cuba Times are changing in Cuba. Baptists there held their first public evangelistic rally in 41 years. They packed two ser­vices at a sports arena in Havana, held in conjunction with the July 3-8 Baptist World Alliance General Council meet­ing in Havana, according to Associated Baptist Press. ...The rallies attracted 3,000 people each evening and featured music and sermons by BWA leaders Billy Kim of Korea and Nilson Fanini of Brazil, the news agency reported. General Council members also spoke in 40 evangelistic services held in area churches. ... "This is a historic event for the Cu­ban peoplesaid Victor Gonzales, gen­eral secretary of the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba. "This is the first time that all the Cuban pastors, seminaries, and missionaries are together in one meeting. It is the first time we have cele­brated open meetings since revolution times." There are approximately 38,000 baptized Baptists in Cuba, the largest evangelical group in the communist na­tion. Religion Today, com (July 17) In His Order A very ill little boy was telling his Grandma how “everything” was going wrong ...school was too hard, family problems, his severe pain, just all the hardships he was going through. Mean­while, Grandma was baking a cake. She asked the child if he would like a snack, which of course he did.- Here. Have some cooking oil.- Yuck, - said the boy.- How about a couple of raw eggs?- Gross, Grandma.- Would you like some flour then? Or, maybe baking soda?- Grandma, those are all yucky! Grandma replied:- Yes, Sweetheart, those things seem bad all by themselves. But, when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times, but, God knows that, when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually the yucky stuff will be used to make something wonderful in our lives! He works all things for our good! Forwarded by the Molnars Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you are not saved yourself. Be sure of that. Charles H. Spurgeon SO THAT YOU MAY FEEL AT HOME IN CHURCH To make it possible for everyone to attend church next Sunday, we are going to make it very special. A cot will be placed in the sanctuary for those who say, “Sunday is my only day to rest.” We will have steel helmets for those who say “The roof would cave in if I went to church.” Murine will be available for those with tired eyes... from watching TV late on Saturday night. Blankets will be furnished for those who think its too cold, and fans for those who think its too hot. We will have hearing aids for those who say that the pastor speaks too softly and cotton for those who say he speaks too loudly. Score cards for listing the hypocrites present. One hundred dinners for those who cant go to church and cook dinner also. A selection of trees and grass for those who like to see God in nature. A patting green near the altar for those who say, “Sunday is my golf day.” The sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who have never seen the church without then. Will we see you there?? Ernes J. Kish 2000. október Reading the Bible over a loud­speaker is “breaking hearts” in Russia. The people of Russia expect God to move upon the hearts of the unbelievers, Slavic Gospel Association’s David Genn said. He recently visited Omsk Baptist Church where people became Christians with no prompting from the pastor or members, he said. ...More than l,000people come to the church one hour before the Sunday morning services to hear the Bible read aloud, Genn told InSight magazine. Members volunteer to read the Scrip­tures over the church loudspeaker as others read along in the pews. I could hear people weeping and praying throughout the sanctuary. I thought, ‘the living Word of God is breaking hearts, ’ Genn said.
