  When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do !! In reading the book of Romans, my mind wandered to that old cliche, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." How does this idiom parallel the scripture? Well, let us look at a good definition of this phrase, taken from dictionary.com  as follows: "When visiting a foreign land, follow the customs of those who live in it. It can also mean that when you are in an unfamiliar situation, you should follow the lead of those who know the ropes." The apostle Paul surely knew the ropes of Rome. Being a staunch Jew, and converted persecutor of those of “The Way" (Christians), he had experienced both sides of the proverbial fence. (Philippians 1:2) Acts Chapter 21, Paul has returned to Jerusalem and (predictably ) he is accosted by an angry Jewish mob. The Roman officer assigned to protect Paul interrogates him about being the leader of a specific band of terrorists or assassins) also mentioned by the historian...

  Communion Service  -  A Time to "Forget NOT" The title of my message is “Forget Not.” Another way of saying forget not; is to say, remember this. Today as we meet at the Lord's table to celebrate communion, let us prepare to remember the Lord's death, burial and resurrection. We are reminded that we are to “Forget not,” but to remember - - to consider - - to think about it - - to meditate quietly about all that Jesus did for us. We examine our hearts and repent of any sins that have not been placed at the foot of the Cross. Can you remember the recent teaching or sermon you heard. You will probably say, “it was good. It encouraged me, I learned something, but I can't remember exactly what it was about.” It is important to exercise your memory. A game that is often played at a baby shower or wedding shower is to bring out a tray with 10 or 12 small items on it.   Give the guests 3 or 4 minutes to view the items, then cover it with a towel or blanket. ...

  When our first born was very young, we had been gifted a picture book with farm animals in it.     I would point to the figures and say, horse, cow, sheep, duck, chicken and so on - - naming each item in the pictures. Then I would touch his mouth and say, “mouth,” and in turn, touch and speak words for his nose, ear, eye, and tummy with a little tickle and a laugh. Also at bed time I would sing the old hymns that he was hearing at Church.  He developed a love of books and began to talk distinctly at an early age.   If I knew then what I knew now; I would have done the same thing with our second and third daughters.    I must have been too occupied with others things because I failed to read and take the time individually with my girls.   Both girls were late to speak clearly enough to be understood and although both of them can read, neither love books the way our first born does.   Studies show that children from the time th...
