THE SIN BEARING MESSIAH

ISAIAH53:3-6

3. HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN. A MAN OF SORROWS AND AQUAINTED WITH GRIEF. AND WE HID AS IT WERE, OUR FACES FROM HIM: HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE DID NOT ESTEEM HIM.

4. SURELY HE HAS BOURNE OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS; YET WE ESTEEMED HIM STRICKEN. SMITTEN BY GOD, AND AFFLICTED.

5. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

6. ALL WE LIKE… Continue

Courage?

I've walked in that valley, so cold and so dim.

I've lost touch with reality never to be found again,

I've been blinded by love only to get deceived,

I've made wrong choices, I didn't want to believe.

I've been lost to this world, and the pain it can cause

Only to have my heart broken, and my soul lost.

Then I found a gift, given many years ago,

One I had forgotten, from some one I didn't know,

It showed me the way to ease my pain,

The gift showed me… Continue

I want to ask you why

This poem is written for my son Austin, who may not live older than 9 or 10, he is three now and has a brain degenerative disorder. It hurts to know I may not have my precious baby forever, but I am very thankful for the time we have had and do have. I pray every day for a miracle

I want to ask you why, but I know it's not your doing

I want to scream and cry, but what good will it do him

I don't normally like to beg,… Continue

The Day Heaven Opened up

She sat in shock while the case worker accused

Discussing drug usage and physical abuse

What was happening, why were they here

She never used drugs, or abused the babies she held so dear

A few short days later the children were loaded up

Taken from the one person they loved so much

The woman reached out and she started to cry

Then to plead and beg with tears in her eyes

She fell to her knees as they left the drive

Feeling her babies as… Continue

For Batman, my Unlikely Angel

Sometimes God's love shines in the strangest place,

Sometimes his strength comes from a most helpless face,

When times are hard and life is rough,

It's hard to find the courage to embrace God's love.

But when you look you'll begin to understand,

That he looks out for you when you need a hand

You'll find peace in a gift from him,

And you might find yourself healing from within.

I recently experienced what God… Continue

christian roots

Dear Editor:

We need to get back our Christian Roots. One night, I was praying for our country and I felt like God put something on my heart that I want to share with the people in Sumter. In April our president gave a speech in Turkey that America is not a Christian nation, but I have disagrees. Many people came to America so they could worship God. The history books that I have read have said that our forefathers often prayed for decisions that they made. Our forefathers were deeply… Continue

Blue Laws

Dear Editor,

My name is Robin Sherman. On July 5, I read the article in The Item about the Blue Laws. The city council wants to do away with the Blue Laws. I think the blue laws should in place.

One reason why Blue Laws be should kept in place so people can rest and ready for the next working week. Now, people are saying they earn more money if work and that is true. There is a phrase the verse in 2 Samuel 2:30 that says, “Those who honor me, I honor.” In the bible Sabbath Rest… Continue

Does God Allow Trials? Written and preached by Dr Creflo A. Dollar!

Does God Allow Trials?

Creflo A. Dollar

Have you ever gone through a rough time in life, but later realized that God was actually trying to show you something about yourself through the experience? While it is true that God is love, He will sometimes use affliction and difficult situations to get your attention and cause you to focus on Him. Often, there is an area of your character that needs development. This may be a hard concept for some of us to accept, but even though God… Continue

THE DEVIL'S SIN

"Pride is the devil's sin." - Charles Spurgeon

"Pride of heart, by which we have lifted up ourselves, is a sin for which we ought in a special manner to humble ourselves."

"Men will be revenged, will not forgive, because they are proud."

"Men cannot punish pride, but either admire it or fear it, and therefore God will take the punishing of it into His own hands. Let Him alone to deal with proud men."

"Those that are rich in the world are apt to be… Continue

"Looking for Angels" What all Sinners Search For....

Hey, my family in Lord Jesus, this is Moon Willow (or Cheyenne). Looking for Angels....for most of us, especially my generation only thinks of it as the song from Skillet. I believe it has meaning for all of us....As Christians, we are all also sinners, every human being is one....whether they are a child of God or not.

We all falter and feel guilty about it....that guilt can become worse and twist and morth into worry and doubt. When we become oppressed with this doubt, we are… Continue

FLAGRANT SIN IS NOT TO BE TOLERATED IN THE CHURCH

"The bad example of a man in rank and reputation is very mischievous, spreads the contagion far and wide."

"...one scabbed sheep infects a whole flock. A little leaven will quickly spread the ferment through a great lump. Note, Concern for their purity and preservation should engage Christian churches to remove gross and scandalous sinners."

"Pride or self-esteem often lies at the bottom of our immoderate esteem of others, and this makes us as blind to their faults as to… Continue

My First Love

I met my first love 21 years ago. When He came into my life that day, my world changed. I was filled with indescribable joy! My spiritual eyes were opened and understood things I never understood before.

He always filled my mind, every second, every minute, every hour. He captured my heart that all my being and existence revolved around Him. I can't stop talking about Him. Even in my sleep, He is in my dreams, and every waking hour, He is whom I always think about.

I… Continue
