An Annoying
Chirping" Message summary: Today, we pray that each of us will hear the One who speaks not as an annoying chirp but would truly receive, listen, and heed God who is speaking. Herein lies the source of assurance and security in these times of turmoil. Listen
to our message
on your audio
player. We are thankful for smoke detectors and in the 80's we had our own experience to prove their worth (see below for that story).
1)
He speaks
through His
inspired Word
and by His
Spirit, which
bears witness
to the
Scripture. He
does not give
new revelation
but confirms
that which is
already spoken
through the
prophets and
the apostles.
2) He speaks not from Mount Sinai, which was on this earth, but He speaks from heaven through signs and wonders, earth’s calamities, and even through the folly of man. Turn on the television or read the news and the folly of man is on full display for all to view. The consequences of their folly is consistent with the warnings God has repeatedly given us as to why we should obey. 3) He speaks powerfully and effectually through the church body He established during the Acts of the Apostles and through His appointed leaders, “So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:11-13). 4) He speaks to us through the godly actions and attitudes of men and women, boys and girls. As the old adage goes, “More is caught than is taught". What are we teaching others by our actions and attitudes? I asked a woman whose grandmother passed away at 101 years, “What is one thing you remember most about your grandmother?” She responded very quickly, “I never heard her complain. She was a very content woman.” This grandmother spoke through her attitudes perhaps more than her words. The
latter portion
of Hebrews 12
speaks of
receiving a
kingdom that
cannot be
shaken. Our
focus must be
on this
Kingdom not on
the kingdoms
of this world,
which most
certainly are
shaking and
indeed rise
and fall. But
God’s Kingdom
is steadfast
and abides
forever! Speak, O Lord, as we come to You To receive the food of Your Holy Word. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; Shape and fashion us in Your likeness, That the light of Christ might be seen today In our acts of love and our deeds of faith. Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us All Your purposes for Your glory.

Regarding
our fire call:
When we lived
in northern
Pennsylvania I
had done some
service work
on my forced
air furnace
earlier that
evening and in
the course of
tightening the
belt from the
motor to the
blower, I had
tightened it
too much. When
I turned the
power back on
the thermostat
did not
immediately
call for heat.
Later when we
were in bed
the thermostat
called for
heat and the
motor came on
but since I
had
over-tightened
the belt it
was bound up
and filled the
duct-work with
smoke. This in
turn filled
the duct work
in our home
with smoke.
The very first
fireman who
arrived
immediately
set foot in
our home,
smelled the
air, and said
"Where's your
furnace?" He
immediately
identified the
problem!
However they
stayed until
the smoke was
cleared from
the house
using large
exhaust fans.
Afterward, we
felt a bit
embarrassed at
all the
attention from
our neighbors
who had
gathered in
our driveway
at 2:00 in the
morning. But
we felt a bit
more justified
at calling the
firemen to
rescue us
after they let
us know that
if they hadn't
been called we
could easily
have succumbed
to the smoke
inhalation
during our
sleep and not
have awakened.

played a small
part in the
surprise by

surprised when
