“A spiritual gift is given to each of us
as a means of helping the entire church.”

Will you please add my niece to the Prayer Link. She has been siezing for the last 3 days. Today has been the worst for her. She has siezed 15 times so for and they are lasting 4 to 12 mins. The doctors are not sure what is wrong.
Thank you,

Mrs. Lois Bridges called for a friend, Bonnie Cooper, to request prayer for her pastor, Rev. Ed. Griffin who pastors in Greensburg.
My cousin, Micah Tolleson, continues to have seizures. Please read the last few posts on his CaringBridge page.

TO GIVE MY readers an idea of how many people on the Internet one member of the Lord’s church can influence — since January 1, 2009 until today, July 19, 2010, my article blog tracker tells me that I’ve experienced 41,975 visitors and 184,257 page views…
I’m averaging 69% new visitors and 31% returning visitors to the article blog, which tells me that there are folks out there in our world who are looking for God’s truth ( John 17:17). The site has now been viewed by some individual (or individuals) in 175 countries around our world.
With God’s help and a whole lot of fortitude, this is what one member of the Lord’s church can do. Just think what 100 members could do with 100 Bible article blogs.
Plus, think of the fact that we have the capability of teaching God’s word seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day — the World Wide Web never sleeps; never calls in sick; never takes a vacation; never gripes or complains — a wonderful medium and tool for spreading the saving gospel of Christ to a world lost in sin ( Romans 3:23).
Also, think of the fact that as we are teaching others the saving gospel of Christ, we are teaching ourselves as well ( Romans 2:21). In the process of teaching others, we will increasingly “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ” ( 2 Peter 3:18), thus making ourselves “sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” ( 2 Timothy 2:21).
If any member of the Lord’s church would like to know more about how to set up your own blog, or a blog for the congregation of which you are a member, please contact Brother G.E. (Eddie) Watkins, owner and administrator of “The Preacher’s Files.” He will be more than happy to assist you in that effort.
Brethren, as “fellow workers” with God ( 1 Corinthians 3:9; cf.1 Corinthians 15:58), we can “turn the world upside down” for the cause of Christ ( Acts 17:1-6; cf. Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; 2 Timothy 2:1-2). Mike Riley at: http://mbriley.preachersfiles.com/2010/07/19/what-one-member-can-do/
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”Matthew 5:16
