"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:7-9,14

Such a beautiful day!
Such a beautiful day has us stopping to reflect on the greatness of God and how He created everything in this earth with such care and beauty-
"He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches. He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work. He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate-bringing forth food from the earth." (Psalm 104:10-14)

Where is the outcry???
Check this out..The people of God need to rise up and have a louder voice then those who are relying on a lesser power- where is your voice being heard?
___________________
Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been executed in Iran. He is the pastor who has been imprisoned and found guilty by the courts in Iran of being a Christian. Now he’s been executed in spite of international appeals to spare his life. ...He was hanged today. Where is the outcry from the White House over the murder of this innocent Christian minister? Where is the outcry from the church in America and around the world? The silence is deafening!

Our Daily Bread
BibleGateway, an online Bible resource, looked at the viewing habits of some of their 8 million monthly visitors. They found that John 3:16 was the most-searched-for verse in 2010.
I don’t think it’s surprising that it would be number one on the list. It tells us that God loved us so much that He sent His Son to rescue us from our sin and give us everlasting life. Number 10 on the list is Jesus’ commission to His followers to spread that good news: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matt. 28:19). Also in the top 10 are Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28 about God’s good plans and purposes for His people.
The Scriptures are filled with truths to search out and share. In Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, the psalmist shared his thoughts about the Word and his desire to search it and be taught by God. He said, “Oh, how I love Your law!” (v.97). Our Bible reading for today shows some of the psalmist’s reasons for loving it: It gives him wisdom and understanding, it restrains his feet from evil, and it is sweet. Therefore, it’s his meditation “all the day.”
Let’s keep taking the time to read the Bible. The more we search the Word, the more we’ll grow in our love for it and its Author (v.97).

Treasures to enrich the mind. —Anon.

Psalm 119:97-104
97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands are always with me
and make me wiser than my enemies.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
for I meditate on your statutes.
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
for I obey your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
so that I might obey your word.
102 I have not departed from your laws,
for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.
I meditate on it all day long.

103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.

A Compassionate World
Cannot wait for this Sunday at the Berkshire Dream Center! We will be starting our new series leading up to Easter, called "A Compassionate World." What would the world be like if we were filled with love and compassion for one another instead of carrying around anger, jealously, hatred, greed and resentment? To remember that the world is bigger then us... and to learn how to give instead of always take.
Imagine if we lived in, "A Compassionate World." You do not want to miss this series!
Come be challenged to love and give back to others in your community!!!! To live a life above average! Coffee on at 12:30 and service starts at 1:00!

Thought for Today..
Life is about helping and loving others. If you choose to not help them, then don't go even further and hurt them.

Missions Sunday
What a great service yesterday! Our Jamaica team did a great job sharing about what God did in their lives on the trip. I just want to give huge thank you to all of our team members for all of their hard work on the mission field!!! Cannot wait for next year. If anyone is interested we will be handing out applications next month.
We ended up going through all 40 cups of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. :) That is how good it is! If you wish to support the children's home in Jamaica we are selling it for them for $13.00 for an 8oz bag. All the money goes directly to the home for food, clothing and education for the children.
