Home Going Prayer for Fred Hartin , Elder, Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church

-
  We pray for the family and friends of Fred Hartin who died on Sunday 4 pm , DEC 7. " O Lord thou hast sent among us thy sad messenger, O our God, and taken from us thy faithful servant Fred Hartin , to whom our eyes looked up, with whom we took sweet counsel, and whose spirit turned our duties into love. Raise our thoughts from this changeful life to the calm eternity in which thou dwellest, and to those things which know no change. Leave us whatever has been strong and sacred which here we shall know no more; that the voice we have loved may yet speak to us through the solemn silence. Thy will be done. Look upon all of his family now with thy tender mercy. Sustain and comfort every mourning heart.  May we dedicate ourselves anew to the service of thy will; that in the faith and spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ who was made perfect through suffering , each of us may be ready to say, whenever the hour shall strike, Father, I have finished the work which thou gave me to do. Ame...

12 Steps to Living Without Fear

  12 Steps to Living Without Fear-  Lloyd Ogilivie ----When I lived in North Dakota and served the Reformed Presbyterian Church there in a small town,  I remember seeing him on the television in his sermon and Church broadcast.   He had a wonderful way of connecting with people , and preached with no notes! I have taught some of the below in various churches to help understand how fear can cripple us, and make us unable to do what we should be doing for God and His Kingdom. No, they are not perfect, and each point in his book listed above has a chapter dedicated to it.  They are worth reading about in the actual book still available. I will say that no. 12 has been one of the most helpful to me personally....but the others too are quite helpful especially no. 7 in dealing with people and how they affect us. Blessings to you as you meditate on them , and the Scripture for each one. They are worth looking at and seeing how they fit the thought that is introduced....

Memorial Service

  Memorial Service Jenny Cross Scripture-Psalm 23; 2 Corinthians 5; John 14:1-6 "I Know My Master" illustrates our Lord is on the other side. "A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?" The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side of which came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death...
