Opening Song - "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross"
MIDI music file at
http://patriot.net/users/bmcgin/surveyb.mid

WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS - by Isaac Watts, 1707
Public Domain

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Amen.

O Holy Spirit, enter within me,
Filling my heart with Thy holy grace;
Dwelling so sweetly, loving completely,
Making my body Thy holy place.

O Holy Spirit, sunlight eternal,
Brighten my path with Thy holy rays;
Always unfolding, never witholding,
Comfort and lead me all of my days.

And when my life on this Earth is over,
And when my soul from body is free,
Keep me forever, leaving me never,
Taking my soul to heaven with Thee.

Amen.

Scriptures And Teachings
"Draw Close To God, And He Will Draw Close To You."
The Lord has given us a very simple yet powerful way for us to understand
how He wants us to live our lives. He wants us to be close to Him.

"Draw near to God and he will draw near to you."
(James 4:8a RSV)

And He has also provided us with the means to draw close to Him, which is,
Our Mystical Union With Christ. This refers to the actual spiritual
presence of Christ inside us, as well as our actual spiritual presence
inside Him. This mutual indwelling of His Spirit in us and our spirit in
Him occurs when we freely choose to accept Him, inviting Him into our
lives as our personal Lord and Saviour.

It Is Never Necessary To Sin - God will always give us a way to accomplish any good purpose without the need to sin.

Blessings to you, the readers of this page, in Jesus Christ our Lord. May
He guide you and protect you always.

It Is Never Necessary To Sin
God will always give us a way to accomplish any good purpose without the
need to sin.
http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/pearl-notnecessarytosin.html

By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org

MP3 Audio file at http://www.loveallpeople.org/notnecessarytosin.mp3

It is never necessary for people to sin. God will always give us a way to
accomplish any good purpose without the need to sin.

If we want to avoid sin, God will always make a way for us to do so.
Hungry people do not need to steal food. Cold people do not need to steal
clothing. Lonely people do not need to borrow another person's wife. Poor
people do not need to covet another person's possessions. Fearful people
do not need to bomb apartment buildings or torture their prisoners.
Oppressed people do not need to murder innocent civilians.

God will always make a way for our legitimate needs to be met without
causing us to sin. Count on it! Sin is always avoidable. It is never
necessary for any of us to sin against other people or against God.

As the Bible says . . .

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 (RSV)
_____________________________________________________________

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is
faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength,
but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that
you may be able to endure it."
_____________________________________________________________

<><

Although these words were written by Paul to the Christians at Corinth in
the first century, A. D., they actually apply to all people, everywhere,
at all times. This is a "universal truth," like the Law Of Gravity,
applying to everyone. WE DON'T NEED TO DO EVIL IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH
GOOD. God will provide us a "way of escape" from the temptation.

[And this makes perfectly good sense, because sin is the transgression of
God's law. So why would God ever make it necessary for us to transgress
His law? "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is
the transgression of the law." - 1 John 3:4 (KJV) ]

Jesus makes the same point in a different way: It is necessary for
temptations to come, but it is not necessary for us to yield to them.
MATTHEW 28:7-9 (RSV)
_____________________________________________________________________

"Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that
temptations come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes!
And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and
throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than
with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away;
it is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be
thrown into the hell of fire."
_______________________________________________________________________

The teachings of Jesus apply to all people, not just to Christians. (The
Qur'an specifically teaches Muslims that Jesus ("Isa") is a prophet.)
Regarding Jesus as a prophet, the Qur'an says . . .

Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed
to us, and (in) that which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail
and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that which was given
to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to the prophets
from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of
them, and to Him do we submit. (Qur'an 2.136, Shakir translation)

Note: Allah means God; Ibrahim means Abraham; Ismail means Ishmael;
Ishaq means Isaac; Yaqoub means Jacob; Musa means Moses; and Isa
means Jesus.

Source: http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/koran/

The Qur'an further says that Jesus was strengthened with the Holy Spirit .
. .
. . . and We gave clear miracles to Isa son of Marium, and
strengthened him with the holy spirit. (see Qur'an 2:253)

The idea that some things are "necessary evils" is a false idea, invented
by man to justify his willingness to do evil. Sometimes we see an easy way
to accomplish a good result, but it requires doing evil in order to attain
the greater good. But if we search the entire Bible, in every
authoritative version we can find, we will not find the words "necessary"
and "sin, " or the words "necessary" and "evil," in the same verse or
anywhere else, connected so as to justify doing evil.

Therefore, what we should do is to keep on looking for an acceptable way
to accomplish any good purpose, without doing evil to others. Jesus says,
"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it
will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8 RSV)

Perhaps we cannot find an acceptable way right away. What should we do
then? Keep on looking! The way is there, and we must keep on looking for
it until we find it. God intends for us to do what is right. And He will
always make a way for us to do what He wants us to do, if we keep on
trusting Him to provide it.

"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth,
do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the
wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:19 RSV)

How To Love Other People: Practical methods for increasing and expressing your love for others.

How To Love Other People
Practical methods for increasing and expressing your love for others.

http://www.loveallpeople.org/howtoloveotherpeople.html - Revised June 8,
2010

By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Pastor - http://internetchurchofchrist.org/
Director - http://loveallpeople.org/

FIRST: YOU HAVE GOD'S AUTHORIZATION TO LOVE EVERYBODY!
Men, women, children, saints, sinners, rich, poor,
black-white-yellow-green, old, young, beautiful, ugly, friends, enemies:
you have God's permission to love EVERYBODY in the entire world.
You don't need to be shy. You are authorized by God to love all people,
whomever they may be.

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself." (Galatians 5:14 KJV)

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another,
as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)

And the Bible says that EVERYONE IS YOUR NEIGHBOR!
http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html
The Lord wants us to love others as we love ourselves and as He has loved
us. But how exactly do we do this?

The basic way is this: "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
This this is the Golden Rule, God's guideline for all mankind.
http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html

Our love begins within our heart, from the Holy Spirit within us. Then it
flows outward, towards others. But sometimes we have difficulty knowing
how to express this love and give it to others.

This ministry provides practical techniques and methods for giving your
love to other people.

INTRODUCTION
=> Introduction - http://www.loveallpeople.org/loveintro.html

THE SCRIPTURAL MANDATE TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE
"Love All People As Yourself."
=> God's Only Law Is Love -
http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-godsonlylaw.html
=> We Must Love One Another

TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED
The best way to express your love for other people is to always follow The
Golden Rule, "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html

LEARN HOW TO ENJOY OTHER PEOPLE
The common experience of mankind is that if you enjoy someone, it is easy
to love them; but if you do not enjoy them, then it is hard to love them.
So we see that enjoying other people is a big part of loving them.
It is difficult to love other people if we do not enjoy them.

=> How To Enjoy Other People -
http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/howtoenjoyotherpeople.html

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOLERANCE AND APPROVAL
To love other people, we must sometimes tolerate some of their behaviors
which we cannot approve of.
=> The Difference Between Tolerance And Approval -
http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/differencebetweentolernceandapproval.html

INCREASE YOUR LOVE FOR OTHERS BY DOING GOOD TO THEM
It is a happy fact of human nature, that we increase our love for others
by doing good to them. The more good we do to other people, the more our
love for them increases. Try it for yourself, and you will see.

IF WE LOVE, WE MUST FORGIVE
If we love them, we must forgive them. Just as God loves us and has
forgiven us, we must also forgive them. If we will not forgive others, God
will not forgive us! Simple as that. People who claim to be Christians but
who will not forgive are merely deceiving themselves.
=> How To Forgive Other People -
http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-howtoforgiveotherpeople.html

JESUS ENABLES US TO LOVE OTHERS AS OURSELF
By our own flawed human nature, it is almost impossible to love others as
we love ourself. Maybe some few people can do it, but most people cannot
even come close. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord, His Holy
Spirit enters us and dwells within us, transforming our flawed nature into
a more perfect nature, more like His own.
=> Jesus Enables Us To Love Others As Ourself -

The same twenty-one ideas are taught in a Computer-Assisted Instruction

by today's standards, but it works. Please disregard the copyright notices

Greatest Ideas In Human Relations (Computer Program in a .zip File) -

NOTE: In order to run this computer program in Windows, you need to SAVE
the .zip file into the folder of your choice, then extract the files and
run the program. If you simply try to run the program directly from the
Internet, it will not work.

HOW TO LOVE STRANGERS
It is easy to love those who already know you and love you. So here is the
way to love strangers.
First, Give Them What They Ask For - unless you have a good reason not to
do so.
Next, Give Them What They Really Want - as best you can determine it.

Finally, Give Them What They Clearly Need - but do not assume too much.

Always Follow The Law Of Love And The Golden Rule ("Love your neighbor as
yourself," and "Treat others as you would like to be treated."

PRAY FOR PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO MAY HATE YOU AND WISH YOU HARM

to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;" - Jesus speaking, Matthew 5:44

follow this example.
