HELLO EVERYONE,I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A NICE EASTER AND ENJOYED THE LORDS DAY. A VERY SPECIAL LORDS DAY.JUST THINK OF ALL THAT JESUS WENT THROUGH JUST FOR YOU AND ME,HIS HANDS WERE PIERCED WITH NAILS, HE WAS BEATEN, SPAT ON, WORE A CROWN OF THORNS , THEN A SWORD RAN INTO HIS SIDE JUST FOR EXTRA MEASURE TO MAKE SURE HE WAS DEAD,DEAD, HIS BLOOD WAS SHEAD FOR US AND OUR SINS ON THAT CROSS.BUT THAT DIDNT KEEP HIM DOWN ,,HE AROSE,HE AROSE,UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE! ALL FOR US,,, WERE WE ? OR ARE WE WORTH THAT ? GOD THINKS SO. ALL OF THAT FOR US ... I THINK GOD IS WORTH WORKING FOR , WE CANT NEVER REPAY HIM FOR WHAT HES DONE FOR US AND GOD DONT WANT REPAYED,ALL HE WANTS IS US ,,YOU AND I TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT HIM AND ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS HES DONE AND THE THINGS WE WILL RECIEVE IN HEAVEN ... NOW ON TO TODAYS MESSAGE ........I WAS READING IN THE PAPER THAT THE RAINY SEASON IN THAILAND CLAIMED 7 ELEPHANTS AS VICTIMS.THEY WERE TRYING TO CROSS A RIVER WHERE THEY ALWAYS CROSS AND THE RAGING RIVER SWEEPT THEM DOWN STREAM AND OVER A 250 FOOT WATERFALL,THE WILDLIFE ADVOCATE SAID THAT THOSE LOSSES COULD OF BEEN PREVENTED.THE BARRIERS THAT WERE PUT THERE WERE USLESS , AS 4 OTHER ELEPHANTS DIED EARLEIR.BUT OTHER THINGS COULD OF BEEN DONE.LONG BEFORE ANIMAL RIGHTS BECAME A GLOBAL ISSUE,THE STORY OF JONAH SHOWS THE ATTENTION OUR CREATOR GIVES TO ALL HIS CREATURES.AS THE STORY ENDS, THE LORD EXPRESS;S CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR THE CITIZENS OF NINEVEH,BUT ALSO FOR THERE LIVESTOCK {JONAH 4 :11 } AND EARLIER, GOD GAVE MOSES LAWS THAT EXTENDED CERTAIN PROTECTION EVEN TO ANIMALS {EXODUS 23 :4-5,,12 }.GOD CARES FOR US AND CALLS US TO CARE FOR HIS CREATION. THOUGH HUMANS ALONE ARE MADE IN GOD IMAGE,THE STORY OF JOHNA AND OTHER BIBLE TEXT SHOWS A LINK BETWEEN CAREING FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS. THE CREATOR GIVE US REASON TO PROVIDE APPROPIATE ,THOUGH DIFFERENT ATTENTION TO BOTH. THE CONCLUSTION SEEMS CLEAR;IF GOD CARES EVEN FOR LIVESTOCK,HOW CAN WE IGNORE THE NEEDS OF ANY PERSON FOR WHOM HIS SON DIED?........... GOD LOVES YAS ,,,WE LOVE YAS ,,,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,,,,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,,,FROM THE RIVER BOTTOM,,,RON,,PRAYERS FOR ALL ,,NEED ANYTHING ALL YA GOTA DO IS ASK AND WE WILL TRY TO HELP...SEE YAS TOMORROW IF THE LORDS WILLIN

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

"For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

"This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."


THIS PROBABLY ISN'T THE MOST POPULAR VERSE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT IF A MAN HAS EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD. GOD BLESS.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

HELLO ALL! ITS STILL RAININ HERE IN THE RIVERBOTTOMS ,,BUT WARMER ,,,LETS GET GOIN TO TODAYS WORDS .....I CAN REMEMBER A POPULAR T.V. PROGRAM A FEW YEARS BACK THAT WAS HOSTED BY A SELF PROCLAIMED PSYCHIC.HE SUPOSEDLY RECIEVED MESSAGES FROM SPIRITS OF THE DEAD TO GIVE TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS IN HIS STUDIO AUDIENCE.WITH HIS READINGS IT LEAD MANY PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN HIS OCCULTIC PRACTICE. WE LIVE IN A CULTURE WHERE PEOPLE ARE DESPRATE TO KNOW THEIR FUTURE,AND THEY TURN TO PEOPLE THAT TELLS THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR AND ANSWERS---- A PRACTICE THAT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN IN SCRIPTURE.THE ANCIENT ISRAELITES WERE DESPEREATE TO KNOW THERE FUTURE,AND GOD KNEW THAT THEY WOULD BE TEMPTED TO CONSULT UNGODLY SOURSE FOR ANSWERS,SO GOD WARNED THEM TO STAY AWAY FROM MEDIUMS AND THOSE WHO CONTACT THE DEAD.{LEVITICUS 19 :26-31;20-27 DEUTERONOMY 18: 9-14}.GOD KNEW THAT THESE PRACTICES WOULD PREVENT ANCIENT ISRAEL FROM BEING A HOLY,SET--APART PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE A BLESSING TO ALL NATIONS,THE FUTURE FOR ISRAEL WAS DETERMINED BY THERE FAITHFULNESS TO GODS COVENANT, NOT THE WORDS OF SOOOTHSAYERS AND PHYCHICS.RELIANCE ON THESE EVIL PRACTICES INDICATED A FAILURE TO TRUST GOD WITH THEIR LIVES.THE WHAT OF OUR FUTURE IS DETERMINED BY THE WHO OF ETERNITY.WHEN YOU ARE DESPRATE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUTURE,,,TURN TO THE SOVEREIGN GOD OF HEAVEN.HE ,{" GOD"} IS THE ONE THAT HOLDS THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK ! GOD LOVES YAS AND SO DOES RIVERBOTTOM ,,,RON,,,HAVE A BLESSED ONE ,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,RON,,NEED PRAYER ,,?JUST ASK... YOU ALL ARE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS ,,,SEE YAS TOMORROW ,,IF THE GOOD LORDS WILLIN,....

Romans 10:9-10

"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."


I AM SAVED AND I THANK GOD FOR SENDING HIS SON TO TAKE MY PLACE ON THE CRUEL CROSS OF CALVARY!!! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.

AND RIGHT NOW HERE IN THE OLE RIVERBOTTOMS ,IT IS RAIN, RAIN,RAIN.NOW TO TODAYS MESSAGE...O PASTOR FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT A SIGN THAT HE SAW IN FRONT OF A NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH.INSTEAD OF ADVERTIZING THERE CHURCHS HOURS OF WORSHIP THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER CHURCHS HOURS OF WORSHIP LISTED ON THE SIGNAND THERE LOCATIONS,MY FRIEND DIDNT THIK THIS WAS IMPRACTICAL OR FOOLISH,LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE.INSTEAD,,HE IMAGINED WHAT IT MUST DO FOR A CHURCH TO PUT SUCH UNSELFISHNESS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING IT DID.!WHETHER ITS A GOOD IDEA TO ADVERTIZE THE WORSHIP TIMESOF OTHER CHURCHS IS A MATTER OF OPINION.BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN---THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IS NOT FOUNDIN A SPIRIT OF ENVEY AND SELFSERVEING COMPETITION.THE GENEROSITY AND GOODWILL THAT PAUL EXPRESSED TOWARD SELFSERVING CHURCH LEADERS IS A MARK OF THE AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN SPIRIT{PHILIPPIANS 1 : 14 }.THIS CHRISTLIKE ATTITUDE LINES UP WITH THE ABSENCEOF SPIRITUAL COMPETITION THAT JAMES CALLED FOR IN HIS EPISTLE {JAMES 3 :14-17}.NOTHING IS MORE PLEASING TO GOD THAN SELF-SACRIFICE THAT GROWS OUT OF OBEDIENCE.CHURCHS OUGHT BE CONCERNED ABOUT BUILDING THER CONGREGATION.BUT BEWARE OF SETING THE BAR TO LOW BY WORRYING ABOUT NUMBERS,THE WISDOM AND GRACE OF CHRIST ARE NOT NECESSARILY FOUND IN CONVENTIONAL WISDOM .GOOD JUDGEMENT OFTEN REQUIRES THAT WE PERFORM COUNTER--INTUITIVE ACTS OF UNSELFISHNESS THAT REFLECTS JESUS LIFE IN US...IS JESUS LIFE IN YOU ? IF NOT HE CAN BE .RIGHT NOW THIS VERY MINUTE AND IT WONT TAKE A MINUTE TO GET HIM THERE.ALL YA GOTA DO IS ASK HIM INTO YOUR LIFE AND HE WILL BE THERE..WE PRAY THAT YA DO..CAUSE ,,,GOD LOVES YAS ,,,WE LOVE YAS,,, HAVE A BLESSED DAY,,,,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON,,,, A PRAYER FOR SOMEONE CAN TOUCH THEM IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS,IT CAN ,GIVE THEM HAPPYINESS,RELIEVE THERE BURDENS ,,HEAL THERE DISEASE ,AND GIVE THEM HOPE FOR A FUTURE WITH GOD ...SEE YAS TOMORROW IF THE LORDS WILLIN!
