We have no government, armed with power, capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. -- John Adams, 2nd President of These United States.

I'm impressed by the depth of what was written ... I highly encourage everyone to read this.

Thanks for my market set

This supposed to be Christian satire, but George Schmidt knows it actually happens ... usually on winter retreats in the JH cabin ...

I read this in my devotional today ..."John Wesley brilliantly described meekness as passions under control that are exercised against sin and for God. Christians are not a passionless people, but men and women who have put reins on their passions, thus able to employ them as necessary."It's easy to spot those who have not learned meekness. Their zeal for God or religion is not under control; rather, it runs wild and burns like forest fire, destroying all in its path."True meekness is r...

Church activities are cancelled tonight. Local schools have already cancelled their activities, too.

"If Christians see ourselves as people who are “losing” a culture rather than people who have been sent on a mission to a culture, we will be outraged and hopeless instead of compassionate and convictional. If we do not love our mission field, we will have nothing to say to it."

Our children's ministry starts next week in Martinsville at Clearview Wesleyan Church. We have programs for all ages up through high school and we'd love to have your family involved. There is no cost for kids to be a part of the ministry and it's a great opportunity to learn about God's way for living in this world.

HR Selden She's our 409 because she was born at 4:09 am. Later that morning, I went to the local WalMart to pick some things up. When I walked in, the music playing in the speakers there was The Beach Boys song, '409' ...

Please pray for Gerritt 'n Julie VanWagenen

This is a great example of why the Wesleyan Church has a hospital on the island of LaGonave. This is especially important right now while many of the state run hospitals are experiencing a strike by the doctors (due to not being paid this year).

We hope to see you as we continue our series on finding courage to be who God wants you to be!

Benjamin is having some tough times with his car. Be praying for him and if you have a lead on a new car for him, let us know.

I have accepted the call from Clearview Wesleyan Church as their new Lead Pastor. We are hoping to start there in mid July!

The same thing has happened in the rice market in previous years thanks to the Clinton family ... Let's not make the same mistake again.

Something to keep in mind ...

Our weekly update

Yay! Mary drove today! She did awesome as usual!

The highlight this week is that we head out into the countryside today for two weeks of immersion. We will be mostly without electricity, but we will be taking pictures and videos (we hope).
