PSALMS 119: 10

VERSE 10 -With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
To say in modern terms what the psalmist is saying in verse 10 would sound something like this. With all my heart I did search for you Lord. I have stuck to your ways and your words I will not abandon. Your word will save my life. There are so many so called salvation messages. But I have found like the psalmist. Theres only one way. Theres only one truth. Theres only one life. His name is Jesus Christ. Sleep well tonight Disciple of Christ. --------Pastor Rigney

Pastor Jonathons Word of the Week

Its not all bad! Money problems, politics, crime, scandals seem to flood the news. Sadly, it is a media driven society that is seemly converting Christianity into a bad word. However, it has been so refreshing to see Christians take the spotlight for a change. Im referring to Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin. If you have not heard of them, then you probably do not watch sports. Both of these gentlemen have stolen the spotlight in their respective sports. The amazing thing is that they are devout Christians and they are using their 15 minutes of fame to shine the spot light on Jesus. I challenge you to pray for these individuals as their ministries have grown and their pulpits reach across the globe. May God use them to show the world the Love and salvation of Jesus Christ. Deut. 28:13, The LORD will make you the head, not the tail.
