Opening Song: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," Sung by Eva Cassidy
Empathy: In order to follow The Golden Rule ("Treat others as you would
like to be treated"), we need to understand and care how other people feel
in certain situations. The music video below is intended to help us
understand and share the feelings of another person.

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.

Matthew 6:9-13

FEATURED SEGMENT
Let The Holy Spirit Guide You Directly In All Things
Let The Holy Spirit Guide You Directly In All Things
When you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and have met the
conditions set forth in Romans 10:9, you are a Christian and the Holy
Spirit is now dwelling within you.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV)
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV)
Once the Holy Spirit is dwelling within you, He will guide you into
everything you need to know. In order to help guide you, He will
frequently "bring to your remembrance" the appropriate teachings of
Jesus (if you have learned them), as needed.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
(John 14:26 KJV)
So, Beloved: Do not try to figure things out, rigidly, in a legalistic
manner. Do not say, "Yes, I must always do this," or "No, I must never
do that." That is relying on your own intellect too much, leaning on
your own understanding too much. This is the danger of legalism, the
fault of the Pharisees, who knew a thousand different rules but could
not even recognize the Saviour when He was there in front of them.
Your intellect is a poor substitute for direct guidance by the Holy
Spirit. "Lean not unto your own understanding . . .
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV)
Instead of following your own intellect, follow the direct guidance of
the Holy Spirit, as Peter did when called upon to explain some of his
actions to the authoritities.
ACTS 4:8-12 (RSV)
_____________________________________________________________
8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
"Rulers of the people and elders,
9
if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done
to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed,
10
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you
crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man
is standing before you well.
11
This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but
which has become the head of the corner.
12
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no
other name under heaven given among men by which we must
be saved."
_____________________________________________________________
As Jesus said on another occasion, "Go ye, and do likewise!"
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Prayer For You
Prayer 4 You: To Receive The Gift Of Empathy.
Empathy is "the ability to imagine oneself in another.s place and
understand the other.s feelings, desires, ideas, and actions."
Lord Jesus, now I raise my prayer to You,
That readers of these words may soon receive,
Your wondrous holy gift of Empathy.
And with this gift, I pray they will begin
To see and know and feel the inner thoughts
Of those whom You will send upon their way.
And then I pray that those who have this gift
Will use it well to help those whom You send.
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.
