James 2:14-26
14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Thanksgiving Blessings,
First radio, of course no new radio programs this week as I caught a cold and lost my voice as most of you should know that listen in, doctor says it has to run it's course and so I am looking at roughly 10 days. I feel better but I cannot talk well enough or radio yet… next week tune in as I talk with Joel Richardson again… and radio airtime will be due on Monday
Now Surely you remember the last update I did in which I said the Wichita Mission Church electric would be off if we did not get some funds in to pay the bill as a shut off came in the mail?
Soon after we had a $500 donation come in that paid it and gas that was also on shut off so Thanksgiving is on….
So what's up now then? We (frog in my pocket? We I mean Mom) are now trying to get the 11 Turkeys we have for diner cooked. I know my sister is cooking 1, some friends are cooking another, while still yet two other friends are cooking 4 more together, let's see that makes 6 and leave mom to cook 5 before Thanksgiving!
The Problem I see is we always have Turkey two days, meaning on Thanksgiving we serve Turkey till you bust then on Friday we serve it again but much more controlled depending on how much we (mom) has left. Last year we did 17 which means we really need 6 more cooked Turkeys or Turkeys to cook…..otherwise we could at this moment run out on Thanksgiving…
I say that because I was informed that a sign is going up at a place that normally does not advertise and there are tons of people that go there. Also there are more people on the street this year.
One word "Pray"
Also we do not yet have all the trimming or deserts, say if you live close and want to do something to help drop a trimming or desert by the Mission Church we are here until we go home Friday night…..if you need call 316-619-4886
I asked mom how much she needed to complete the Thanksgiving meal (besides what all she brought from our cupboardsJ) she said $200 but to me that means $300 as she is skimping….
Again one word "Pray" as all things come by Faith and prayer….like today.
For some weird reason the bus would not start, I thought bad gas maybe, so I added heat and 4 fresh gallons of gas…about the time I was getting done putting gas in here came a man who was visiting Wichita relatives from Oregon… he is a supporter and wanted to meet us.
He decided the way he could help was filling the bus up, my car, up, my wife's truck, and the 5 gallon gas can I was using! A great blessing as all t3 needed gas and the 5 gallons I will put in my son's care to get him back home when he comes for Thanksgiving! You see all money I did not have but faith we had and so the FATHER took care of it right! A real Praise report! Oh and the bus started right up after the man said heh if you get it started lets go down the street to the Quicktrip and fill her up…
So we are counting on one way or another everything working out we have one busy day before Thanksgiving so
Lift us in prayer help if you can,
In His Perfect Peace,
Pastor Dan Catlin
