Walking Deep In The Shadows

By: Timothy E. Davis

 

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."   Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

 

  Our lives are not guaranteed to be trouble free. You did not sign a contract with God in which He promised to only send you wine and chocolates.  To borrow from an old seventies song, Jehovah never promised you a rose garden. We will all  have seasons when we must walk in the dark and deep shadows.

We will feel abandoned by our King, alone, and uncertain.

 

But He has given us a promise for all eternity.  A promise that never expires, a covenant never to be altered.  In  Deuteronomy 31:8,  we are told "The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."   No, the Master has not promised we will never have to walk in the long, dark, shadows, but He has given His inalterable Word we will not be walking through them alone

    

 

   Jesus: The Key to Eternal Life

By: Timothy E. Davis

                                            
"I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am
alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death
and Hades."  Revelation 1:18 (NIV)

I think everyone has shared the experience of standing
in the rain, at night, going through the keys,
desperately trying to find one that fits the door.
You may have a lot of keys that look like the door
key, but they do not fit.  There is only one key that
is the right key, and, once you find it, you do not
have to look anymore.

Christ is the key to the gates of Heaven.  We are
issued this key after we do two things.  First,
accepting Messiah's death on the cross as the free
gift that reconciles us with the Father, and washes
away all our sins, with the blood of Jesus.  Secondly,
we must accept the Master's broken and beaten body, as
the clothes that cover our sinfulness.  Once these two
things are done, our standing with the Father is
reconciled, our sins are remembered no more. 

God scatters them as far away as the east is from the
west, and no longer sees us as sinners who anger him,
but as children that love him. Then we know that we
hold the key to the riches and glories of Heaven, and
we can stop wasting time with all the keys that don't
fit.

                                   


     
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                            

   

 

 

 

 


 


 

                                                                                                                         

 

        

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                         

DONATE YOUR OLD CELL PHONES & HELP SAVE LIVES

ORDER A FREE EMERGENCY PHONE FOR PEACE OF MIND

"I have peace knowing if I am in need, help is only a phone call away" Marjorie Lester, Senior Citizen and Widow

" It is a delight to anticipate being able to drive and visit friends again without fear of having a flat tire when alone on the road".
J. Nole, Senior Citizen

"My abuser knows I have an emergency use cell phone and that I will use it to call for help"
Anonymous.

These may be just words to many, but the above statements ring true for many domestic violence victims and elderly citizens who have suffered from violence, abuse or just fear of leaving the house. Nervous that they might break down in their car, or fall in bad weather. Mothers with children who are at the hands of their abuser feel there is help one call away with a hidden cell phone at their side. These are just a few of many more unknown scenarios that people do not realize happen each day.

 Domestic violence is real. Loneliness is real. Fear is real. The testimonials we receive from people all over the United States after sending them a free emergency use phone are amazing. They touch our hearts and we are continually striving to reach as many unfortunate people we can and only because of businesses and individuals who take the time to care enough to donate their old cell phones. Every cell phone lying in the closet or put aside can actually help save a life from harm. We would not be able to continue this essential service without the assistance of people who care enough to donate. We support over 90 shelters all over the U.S.with free emergency use cell phones. We pay for all shipping costs to send phones out and to receive phones and rely on volunteers to clear out all data in the phones and recondition them. They are sent to us to recondition, clear, package individually and then are sent out with a charger and instructions. Most shelters do not have the time and the manpower to process each phone to make sure they will work if needed in an emergency situation and that is why we partner with so many shelters and elderly centers. One of our shelters adopted the slogan "ONE PHONE, ONE MORE CHANCE" How wonderful!!

PLEASE DONATE YOUR USED CELL PHONE THAT IS NO LONGER OF ANY USE TO YOU. THAT PHONE CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE! THIS IS ALSO AN AWESOME WAY TO HELP YOUR COMMUNITY AND TO KEEP THE PHONES OUT OF THE LANDFILLS. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  CONTACT SPOTLESS LAMB MINISTRIES- Tim Davis ted400us@yahoo.com  TO ORDER AN EMERGENCY CELL PHONE FOR YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
