WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS - by Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
- Public Domain

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear.
Just because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Amen.

The Lord's Prayer


Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

FEATURED SEGMENT: "Your Key To Happiness, Now And Forever: RADICAL
CHRISTIAN LOVE."


Your Key To Happiness, Now And Forever . . .



RADICAL CHRISTIAN LOVE!
*** Based Entirely On The Bible ***
PUT GOD FIRST - ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST - LOVE ALL PEOPLE AS YOURSELF
FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE - FORGIVE EVERYONE - DON'T JUDGE ANYONE



By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org
This is the "Doctrine Of Radical Christian Love" in its clearest, simplest
form. If you accept this doctrine and live by it, (1) You will be pleasing
and acceptable to God; (2) You will have a blessed life here on earth as a
citizen of the Kingdom Of God; and (3) You will go to Heaven when you die.
This is the true "straight and narrow path" spoken of in the Bible. If
anyone is misled by this doctrine, I pray that God will punish me instead
of them for any sins they may commit because of it.

Disciple Of Christ

1. PUT GOD FIRST IN YOUR LIFE.

He is your Creator, and the Creator all things. As Creator, He is the
ultimate owner of you and everything else in the universe. As Creator, He
is the highest legitimate authority over you and everything else in the
universe. As your Creator, He is entitled to your highest love, your
highest honor, your highest respect - the best of everything you have to
give.

_____________________________________________________________

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

(Genesis 1:1 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________


2. ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR OWN PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR.

For Every Problem In Your Life, Jesus Is The Answer!
http://JesusIsTheAnswer.ws

Recognize Him publicly as Son of God, risen from the dead, your own
personal Lord and Savior. Invite Him into your heart to rule, and follow
the promptings of His Holy Spirit, Who will now be dwelling within you.

_____________________________________________________________

"because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will
be saved." (Romans 10:9 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________

To accept Jesus now, please click HERE!

The most important single thing you can do in your life is to establish a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, in which He is your personal Lord
and Saviour, and you are His trusting follower. If you do this one thing,
you will find joy and happiness now and forever. If you do not do this one
thing, you will continue to deprive yourself of the many blessings God has
intended for you to receive. If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your
personal Lord and Saviour, you can do so now by clicking HERE!

3. LOVE ALL PEOPLE AS YOURSELF, WHICH IS THE FULL MEANING OF "LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." (THIS IS SOMETIMES CALLED "THE LAW OF LOVE")


Understand that "your neighbor" includes all people everywhere, as shown
by the Parable Of The Good Samaritan. For most people, this is impossible
to do without the Holy Spirit dwelling inside them. This is radical
Christian love: counting the other person's happiness and well-being the
same as your own. This means that in every situation, you must consider
the needs of others as equal in importance to your own needs. "You have
food, they do not. You are hungry, they are hungry. You must share."
Simple as that.

If we truly love our neighbor as ourself, we have fulfilled all of God's
requirements for us.


Love For Neighbor Fulfills All Of God's Requirements For Us
---------------------------------------------------------------
Galatians 5:14 (RSV)
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself."

Romans 13:8 (RSV)
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves
his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Romans 13:9 (RSV)
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not
kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other
commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself."

Romans 13:10 (RSV)
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law.

James 2:8 (RSV)
If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
---------------------------------------------------------------


God counts our love for others as love for Himself. So when we give love
to our neighbor, we are actually giving love to God Himself.

"And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as
you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you
did it to me.'" (Matthew 25:40 RSV)


NOTE: IF YOU TRULY LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, you will not lie about him, steal
from him, murder him, have sex with his spouse, or desire to take over his
possessions - all of which are prohibited by the traditional Ten
Commandments.
4. FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH IS, "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE
TREATED." The Golden Rule puts The Law Of Love into practice.

_____________________________________________________________

"So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for
this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________

For more about the Golden Rule, please click HERE!
Also recognize that What You Do Comes Back To You.

5. FORGIVE EVERYONE, ALL THE TIME, FOR ALL THEIR OFFENSES AGAINST YOU.
Only then can God freely forgive you of all your offenses against Him.
Even if they don't repent, forgive them anyway. Even if they intend to do
it again, forgive them anyway.


"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men
their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15 RSV)

For more about Forgiveness, please click HERE!




6. DON'T JUDGE ANYONE, EVEN IF THEY ARE CLEARLY WRONG.
Judgment belongs only to God. You are wrong yourself, in many things. Be
sure of it, no matter how righteous you may think you are. Each person is
responsible for his own life, and each person will be judged by God for
his own actions. You may advise others. You may teach others. You may
share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. But you may not judge them in
any way for any thing. They don't belong to you; you are not entitled to
judge them. You may be a guide and an inspiration to them. But you may not
be a judge. God gives people what He wants them to have, even some evil
desires and practices. God has His own reasons for everything He does,
even if we do not always understand them. Our job is to love others, not
to judge them.


"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you
pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be
the measure you get." (Matthew 7:1-2 RSV)
<><


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


This, then, is "The Doctrine Of Radical Christian Love." If you accept it
as your own personal law, and sincerely try to follow it as best you can,
God will judge you by it. In this case, all things are permitted to you
which are not clearly prohibited by the Holy Spirit dwelling within you,
by The Law Of Love, or by The Golden Rule.
Some sincere Christians might oppose this doctrine because they consider
it to be a "license to sin." In their view, I should be teaching the need
for sexual purity, mortification of the flesh, denial of the self, perhaps
tithing, and various other traditional requirements of Christianity.

I love these people, and I respect their understanding of God's Holy Word.
Nevertheless, I disagree with them, and I believe that the strongest
Scriptures clearly support the Doctrine Of Radical Christian Love, as I
have shown above.

But even if this doctrine is wrong, and you do sin because of it, your
sins are covered or forgiven because of your love and forgiveness toward
others.


"Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love
covers a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8 RSV)

"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men
their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15 RSV)


To those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord. May the Lord God Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and Earth, richly bless you and all who read these
words. May He guide you, protect you, comfort you, provide for you, and
lead you in all things. This I pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)



Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.

* * *

I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Benediction

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.



Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christian Role Model George Washington in "The Duel That Never Happened."



The Duel That Never Happened: George Washington vs. William Payne (1755)


By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Pastor - InternetChurchOfChrist.org
Director - LoveAllPeople.org
The Duel That Never Happened: George Washington vs. William Payne (1755)

(When George Washington was a young man in his early twenties.)
"The following account, often published, appeared in the Alexandria
Gazette August 25, 1874:"

"When Washington, in command of the Virginia Rangers was waiting at
Alexandria the arrival of Braddock's forces,
an exciting election contest occurred between Mr. Fairfax and Mr. Payne
for the House of Hurgesses. Washington
supported Fairfax with much zeal: and, high words passing between him and
Payne in the market square, Payne
struck Washington a blow which brought him to the earth. The troops
rushed from the barracks, and would have
made short work of Payne, had not Washington pacified them, assuring them
that he knew the proper course to
take in the premises. Duels were not then under the ban of public opinion.
All supposed that a fight was imminent.

Next morning, however, Washington sent for Payne, and when the latter
entered the room he saw on the table,
not pistols, but a decanter of wine and two glasses. 'Mr. Payne,' said
Washington, 'to err is human. I was wrong
yesterday, but if you have had sufficient satisfaction, let us be
friends'.

Weems relates that from that day Washington was Payne's idea of true
manhood."


Source: "A Concise History Of The City Of Alexandria, Va., From 1669 to
1883," (page 11) by F.L. Brockett and Geo. W. Rock,
as digitized by Google at
http://books.google.com/books?id=YUgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q=&f=false


Another account of the same events . . .

"At the time Gen. Washington was stationed in Alexandria as a colonel of a
British regiment, before the war of the revolution,
an altercation took place in the court-house yard, between him and
William Payne, in which Payne knocked Washington down.
Great excitement prevailed, as Payne was known to be firm, and stood
high, and Washington was beloved by all. A night's reflection,
however, satisfied Washington that he was the aggressor and in the wrong,
and in the morning he, like a true and magnanimous hero,
sought an interview with Payne, which resulted in an apology from
Washington, and a warm and lasting friendship between the two,
founded on mutual esteem. "

digitized by Google at
http://books.google.com/books?id=sEkVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA443#v=snippet&q=payne&f=false

COMMENT: William Payne threw the first punch, thereby escalating a mere
verbal argument into a dangerous physical attack. Thus Payne
was in the wrong, and guilty of assault on Washington. But Washington --
following the teachings of Jesus -- did not seek
retaliation of any kind, but instead sought to establish friendship,
which he did. And when Washington died more than forty years later,
Payne was an honorary pallbearer at the funeral. This is an excellent
example of Christian "anger management."

You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.

* * *

I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Benediction

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.



Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christian Role Model George Washington in "The Duel That Never Happened."



The Duel That Never Happened: George Washington vs. William Payne (1755)


By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Pastor - InternetChurchOfChrist.org
Director - LoveAllPeople.org
The Duel That Never Happened: George Washington vs. William Payne (1755)

(When George Washington was a young man in his early twenties.)
"The following account, often published, appeared in the Alexandria
Gazette August 25, 1874:"

"When Washington, in command of the Virginia Rangers was waiting at
Alexandria the arrival of Braddock's forces,
an exciting election contest occurred between Mr. Fairfax and Mr. Payne
for the House of Hurgesses. Washington
supported Fairfax with much zeal: and, high words passing between him and
Payne in the market square, Payne
struck Washington a blow which brought him to the earth. The troops
rushed from the barracks, and would have
made short work of Payne, had not Washington pacified them, assuring them
that he knew the proper course to
take in the premises. Duels were not then under the ban of public opinion.
All supposed that a fight was imminent.

Next morning, however, Washington sent for Payne, and when the latter
entered the room he saw on the table,
not pistols, but a decanter of wine and two glasses. 'Mr. Payne,' said
Washington, 'to err is human. I was wrong
yesterday, but if you have had sufficient satisfaction, let us be
friends'.

Weems relates that from that day Washington was Payne's idea of true
manhood."


Source: "A Concise History Of The City Of Alexandria, Va., From 1669 to
1883," (page 11) by F.L. Brockett and Geo. W. Rock,
as digitized by Google at
http://books.google.com/books?id=YUgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q=&f=false


Another account of the same events . . .

"At the time Gen. Washington was stationed in Alexandria as a colonel of a
British regiment, before the war of the revolution,
an altercation took place in the court-house yard, between him and
William Payne, in which Payne knocked Washington down.
Great excitement prevailed, as Payne was known to be firm, and stood
high, and Washington was beloved by all. A night's reflection,
however, satisfied Washington that he was the aggressor and in the wrong,
and in the morning he, like a true and magnanimous hero,
sought an interview with Payne, which resulted in an apology from
Washington, and a warm and lasting friendship between the two,
founded on mutual esteem. "

Source: "Historical Sketches Of Kentucky," (page 443) by Lewis Collins as
digitized by Google at
http://books.google.com/books?id=sEkVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA443#v=snippet&q=payne&f=false

COMMENT: William Payne threw the first punch, thereby escalating a mere
verbal argument into a dangerous physical attack. Thus Payne
was in the wrong, and guilty of assault on Washington. But Washington --
following the teachings of Jesus -- did not seek
retaliation of any kind, but instead sought to establish friendship,
which he did. And when Washington died more than forty years later,
Payne was an honorary pallbearer at the funeral. This is an excellent
example of Christian "anger management."

Prayer For You

"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)



Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.

* * *

I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

How To Find A Real, Live Church
An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better
for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real,
live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church,
so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

Benediction

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.



Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
