Blessing others in spite of an economic downturn

What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. So what Ruth did for Naomi after the death of her husband and her sons, God made sure that Boaz did for Ruth. Never forget that God not only wants to bless the one being helped, but also the one helping, whom God will bless with more than enough to provide for those He has chosen to `redeem'. Economics was never a valid reason for refusing to `redeem' another person, and it's still not a valid reason for any church to not help its community today. The decision to help the poor, the hurting and the broken is the best economic decision any church can ever make. Paul Scanlon- "Crossing Over" Every church leader should read this book!

Home Going for Mom

Dear Friends, Just a post to let you know my dear mother, Loretta Keith went to be with the Lord on Sunday, April 26th at 3:00 P.M. She was surrounded by her three children, Debbie, Mickey and David, as well as by many other family members. She is now surrounded by a Heavenly host of angels, N.T. saints, O.T. patriarchs, her contemporaries and family members who have died ..in Christ, among whom are her parents, her sister and her loving husband, John Keith. As we said goodbye, they said hello and welcomed her into eternal rest and peace. From this planet, we cannot imagine the joy, freedom and beauty of the home Jesus has been preparing for her for the past 2,000 years. "Beloved, it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him..." Mom drew her last breath here Sunday afternoon, and the next breath she drew was in the presence of Jesus. You see, the Bible teaches us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the ...

Annniversary Celebration

Everyone loves a party! Life Community Church of Ada, Oklahoma celebrates the 3rd Anniversary on March 1st, 2009! To God be the Glory, great things He has done... God has been so good to bring so many wonderful people together, give them such love for one another, and pour His Spirit into their lives so that they impact not only their immediate surroundings with His love, but they touch the nations of the world as well. "Lifers' will tell you, it's not about politics and programs, religion and rules...but we are experiencing authentic Christianity in a non threatening, warm environment. The culture of this church is different than what you find in most places called`church'..It's about Jesus! He is the main attraction! Casual Environment; Serious Faith- that's Life Community Church

How To Get God's Attention

The following are just a few ways to get Heaven’s attention- 1. Humility- James 4:6-10 NLT “But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but favors the humble.” So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.” I Peter 5:5-6 NIV “Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due t...
