The Lord's Prayer

THE LORD'S PRAYER


I cannot say “OUR” if I live only for myself.

I cannot say “FATHER’” if I do not endeavor each day to act like his child.

I cannot say “WHO ART IN HEAVEN” if I am laying up no treasure there.

I cannot say “HALLOWED BE THY NAME” if I am not striving for holiness.

I cannot say “THY KINGDOM COME” if I am not doing all in my power to hasten that wonderful event.

I cannot say “THY WILL BE DONE” if I am disobedient to His Word.

I cannot say “ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” if I’ll not serve him here and now.

I cannot say “GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD” if I am dishonest or am seeking things by seeking things by subterfuge.

I cannot say “FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS” if I harbor a grudge against anyone.

I cannot say “DELIVER US FROM EVIL” if I do not put on the whole armor of God.

I cannot say “THINE IS THE KINGDOM” if I do not give the King the loyalty due Him from a faithful subject.

I cannot attribute to Him “THE POWER” if I fear what men may do.

I cannot ascribe to Him “THE GLORY” If I’m seeking honor only for myself, and

I cannot say “FOREVER” if the horizon of my life is bounded completely by time.

Time to pray

This is an interesting quote I recieved via email from a freind.
The money the Fedreal government wants to throw out to help stop this economic slide we are in can have a huge impact on how we live our lives from here on out.
Before September 2001 we enjoyed a freedom that many of us didn't realize we had, until we lost some of it do to the terrorist attacks. Now our ease of travel has been impacted by those attacks. It was also the start of this economic mess we are in. It costs money to fight a war. We have and are fighting two wars. On top of the way we allowed our banking industry to give high risk loans out at will it was only a matter of time before we were to feel this burden we are entering.
I am all about helping those who need a hand, who are on hard times and need to get by. I am not about the entitlements being thrown in to this package that is now being debated in congress. The elected officials in Washington D.C. need to stop looking at each other with contempt because they are in a differant political party and need to sit down and see that they are there now for a purpose that far exceeds party policy. It is thier destiny to figure out a way to help our nation through this.
When it is all said and done, they will be looked at as the ones who helped pull us through this or they will be the ones who are at fault for letting it go in the wrong direction. We need to pray for all those involved in this process, to have the wisdom to make the right decisions that will impact all of us for years to come. God Bless our country!!


You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers ~~
