Harvesting

Click on photo to enlarge "Is Jesus Your King?" Message
summary:
Today let us
proclaim, "Jesus
Is My King".
Listen to our message on your audio player. "Now
to the King
eternal,
immortal,
invisible, the
only God, be
honor and
glory forever
and ever.
Amen" (1
Timothy 1:17).
It
said, "Jesus
Is King" so I
asked him, "Is
Jesus your
King?" However
I don't think
he actually
understood
what I was
asking so I
will expand
that question
to all who may
be reading
this: "Is
Jesus your
King?" That
is a vital
question we
all must deal
with.
Regardless of
how we
personally
answer Jesus is
the King. One
day "every
knee shall bow
and every
tongue will
confess that
Jesus Christ
is Lord". To
say “Jesus is
King” is to
affirm that
truth exists,
that goodness
is real, and
that hope is
not lost. It
is to
acknowledge
that no matter
how turbulent
the culture
becomes, the
throne of
heaven remains
unmoved. Our
daily text
seems to be a
spontaneous
benediction by
Paul in his
letter to
Timothy. In
the previous
verses he had
extolled God
for the
wonderful
truth "that
Christ Jesus
came into the
world to save
sinners"
(1 Timothy
1:15). C.H.
Spurgeon
wrote, "Paul
could not help
this outburst
of praise. He
must put in a
doxology. When
he remembered
his own
conversion and
pardon, and
his being
entrusted with
the ministry
of the gospel,
he was obliged
to put down
his pen, and
lift up his
voice in
grateful
thanksgiving
to God. So may
it be with us,
as we remember
what great
things the
Lord hath done
for us!" These
words by
blogger
Michael
Schmidt really
bless me today
with an
important
reminder: "Jesus Christ is not an elected official whose term will expire. He is not a monarch ruling by coercion or fear. He is the King eternal, immortal, and invisible — the Creator of all things, the Sustainer of life, the Redeemer of souls. His kingdom is not built on the shifting sands of politics but on the unshakable foundation of truth and grace. His authority brings order where there is chaos, peace where there is conflict, and hope where there is despair. Every attempt to dethrone Him ultimately fails, because His reign is not dependent on human approval — it is established forever by divine decree." Today
let us
proclaim with
our words and
by our lives,
"Jesus Is
My King".
Be
encouraged
today, Hebrews
3:13.

"No
King but King
Jesus" a
very
thoughtful
blog article
by Michael
Schmidt. We
used some
quotes from
the article
above.
Note
from
yesterday's
photos of the
Northwest
Lancaster
County River
Trail:
Tom, a local
friend and
historian,
points out
that the trail
actually
follows a
canal and the
railroad in
turn followed
the canal.
There are
times that the
bike trail
runs in the
canal and
other times on
the tow path.
Most of the
old building
foundations
along the
trail had to
do with the
canal. Just a
little history
lesson for
history buffs.
This
creative
flower stand
caught our
attention
yesterday. Our
neighbors just
up the street
are selling
peonies.
Notice the
finer details
of the
construction
built on the
base of a
Speedway
Express wagon.
Locals will
recognize the
Stauffer name
(Stauffer's of
Kissel Hill),
famous in
these parts
for their
beautiful
flowers. Mary
(Stauffer)
Sweigert was a
good friend of
ours who lived
in this house
and taught me
(Brooksyne) a
lot about
flowers before
she died over
ten years ago.
Mary's
granddaughter
and her
husband
purchased her
home where
they are
raising 5
children. It
appears they
will carry on
the legacy of
beautiful
flowers for
the public to
enjoy.
