Signs of the Times

The Answer

2010-08-25T22:54:00.000-07:00

My current church sign reads like this. Church is not the answer - Jesus is!

A lot of people come to church because they think that church is the answer to their problems. Church is only the place where one should be able to find the true answer to their problems. Jesus is the answer to our deepest problem and He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all I can think or do according to the power that works in me.

First Assembly of God church
987 Old Wm. Penn Hwy.

service starts at 10 AM on Sunday morning and 7 PM on Wednesday evening.
Come on out and meet Jesus!

New Church Sign for April 13 - 18

Misfits Fit in Here

He Came for those that have problems and the misstreated and the misfits of life.

Luke 4:16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears

Here is the new sign for the community to read and respond to.

Psalms 66:5 (KJV) 5 Come and see the works of God:

Psalms 66:5 - 7 (NIV) 5 Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man’s behalf! 6 He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot— come, let us rejoice in him. 7 He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations— let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah

PS: You are the works of God too - think about it!

The New Church Sign

2009-06-23T10:12:00.000-07:00

My new church sign reads:
The Cross is God's Idea

The cross is a non removable part of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. To remove the cross is to remove what God has done through the cross and what is happening now in our lives because of the cross. It was and is God's idea in the first place. To deny the cross is to deny God's way of salvation for those who believe.

1 Corinthians 1:13 - 25 (NIV) 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into£ the name of Paul? 14I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”£ 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

Blessings on Ya!

Someone defaced our church sign and destroyed several letters and a punctuation mark.
If you read this blog let me assure you that God knows who you are and he can save you! He can't ignore a person that will come to Him in repentence. He will forgive you and so do we.

Come to church and learn of God's love for you. He wants you to receive Jesus Christ as your saviour. He can't let you into His heaven any other way. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by HIM!

God is not a has been!

2008-02-22T09:14:00.000-08:00

My current sign reads "God is not a has been but He is the I am".
This sign speaks to the eternal God being relevant today because he is, was and always will be "Iam". That is His name and it is given as a memorial forever.
In our society today the world system has been trying to make God irrelevant to life today, after all it's 2008 and man has advanced way passed needing any God to use as a crutch.
Well I live in the general Pittsburgh Pa. area and almost every day there are reports of people being shot and even killed. My question for consideration is this: If man has "evolved into such perfectness" - Why do we see so much violence, rape, murder, robery and blasphemy against God in our news everyday? Why are there wars and rumors of war in every area of the planet. Why can't men of differing colors, races, and creeds get along without strife?
Man is on a fast track colission course with destruction if there is a continuation on the same pathway of ignoring the only help that ther is for all man's woes.
Gos is not a has been but is the ever current, self existant God whose name is forever "I AM"!
Get Him involved with your life todat through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord of your life now.

The sign that was so much the reason for this blogspot is one that says that sex is not the problem but lust is.
To explain this one has only to go to Genesis where you find that sex was created good by God and God said it was good. He gave direction for man to be fruitful and multiply on the earth. So sex is not the problem but since man has a fallen nature and lusts after things in a manner that is selfish and even evil he wants things outside the pramaters that God set for sex which was in the man leaving his father and mother and cleaving to his wife -- only parameter. Outside of marriage sex is selfish and used to satisfy only a desire of the flesh regardless of the outcome for others or even yourself.
We live in a society where the family life has been redefined to such an extent that anything goes if you feel good about it for you. That mindset has no regard for others and uses the excuse of "it's my body and my life".
God gave us the following:

Exodus 20:1 - 17 (KJV) 1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

Exodus 20:1 - 17 (KJV) 1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

Exodus 20:1 - 17 (KJV) 1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

Jesus boiled it down to the following:

Matthew 22:36 - 40 (KJV) 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

More to be added later.
