jstefan posted on March 10, 2010 14:44  Here is an interesting story appropriate for President’s month:
Abraham Lincoln and his loyal friend Berry were forlornly sitting on the front porch of their country store, soon to fail. They wondered out loud how much longer they could hang on. Lincoln remarked that he didn’t care if the store failed if only he could take the proceeds and buy one book: Blackstone’s Commentary on English Law. He really wanted to be a lawyer.
Suddenly, a wagon heading west, pulled up to the store and the driver shouted that he had run out of money and would they buy his wooden barrel. Lincoln surveyed the man and his wife in the wagon. She was thin and emaciated and looked pleadingly into his eyes. He reached in his pocket and pulled out the last money he had in the world-- a 50-cent piece and bought the barrel. His friend Berry chided him for the foolish decision throughout the remainder of the day.
Evening came and Lincoln came out of the store to examine his barrel. He peered down inside it and spied a crumple of papers. He reached in to toss them out only to find his hands touch something solid—a book. Lifting the book and squinting in the dusk to decipher its title, Lincoln read: Blackstone’s Commentary on English Law!
Elated, he raised the book to Heaven and exclaimed that God had smiled on him and he knew from that point that God had something great for him to do! Otherwise, how could he explain this miracle?
Consider if we commit our lives to a sacred calling, God will lead us to the Bible: Commentary on God’s law—a description of His character. Our lives can reverse from bankruptcy and failure to greatness and purpose. Instead of being a burden on the world, we will carry the world’s burden. How else can we explain this miracle? Read Habakkuk 2:2-4 for your Bible promise!  Wednesday, April 28, 2010 3:27 AM
I am writing to introduce you to a new publication, "Exploring the Heavenly Sanctuary" 9781449063481 (ISBN). With the era of the internet and mass communication it is surely only a matter of time before we will have to give Biblical answers for what we believe. Gain a deeper understanding of the gospel as revealed in Christ our High Priest who ever intercedes for us, learn why this doctrine is so vital for the last day events, be prepared to defend the doctrine and explain it to others. Available now from Adventist Enterprises, you can read the book online or order a published copy at: www.adventistenterprises.co.uk A second book, "Nehemiah the Sabbath Reformer" is also available 9781449066772 (ISBN). This devotional book recounts the exciting story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under intense opposition. Despite threats, accusations and intimidation, Nehemiah and the people resolutely work to repair the walls of the city, trusting in God for safety. The story has deep spiritual lessons for God's people at the end of time when they will be called to repair the breaches made in the law of God. Although the walls have been damaged the foundations remain; a work of reformation will restore the Sabbath which is the biggest hole that has been made in the wall of God's law. You can also order these books at your local bookshop or preferred online retailer. The author was born in Oxford and grew up in a countryside village in Oxfordshire. He became a member of the Anglican Church at the age of 12 where he heard the Word of God and was converted. He later went on to become a Seventh-day Adventist after accepting the Sabbath truth. He studied at Newbold College, Bracknell and received a BA in Theology and then an MA in Religion, accredited by Andrews University. Following that, he spent a year in South Korea teaching English as a foreign language and taught some Bible lessons. While he was in South Korea he got married and returned to England. He eventually found employment with the church and worked for a couple of years at the Adventist Discovery Centre office in the British Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in Watford. He was then called by the church to work as a ministerial intern and then as a licensed minister for the South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in East Anglia and Cornwall. He is currently serving as an elder of the Bodmin Seventh-day Adventist Church and as a full time self-employed colporteur (literature evangelist) selling church books on health, the Bible, and children's stories. He lives in Cornwall and has three children. God Bless Marc Rasell marcandmia@hotmail.co.uk 01726 851792 +44 (0)1726 851792 | |
