   A word of ENCOURAGEMENT

Obedience

John 9:6-7

Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

Sometimes, God calls us to do things or gives us instructions that, to us, seem strange. However, regardless of what we are doing or the way we are following His direction, others may question our judgement. We need to seek the opinion of a godly person and then, if we are unsure, to give the idea away. But if we come to the conclusion that we do indeed have a word from the Lord to follow it through whatever the cost — without hesitation or objection. If we are obedient in all things and allow God to bring about His purpose in our lives, and through us to the lives of others. We will reap a benefit that others may not appreciate, but for which you will win the Father's approval..

Bible History Online

The Bible is about God's activities in history. It deals with actual people in an actual geographical area during actual specified historical times who had contact with other actual peoples and empires whom we know of from sources outside the Bible. Knowledge of the historical background of the Bible is essential to any serious student of the Scriptures.

    "The world is overcome not through destruction, but through
    reconciliation. Not ideals, nor programs, nor conscience, nor duty,
    nor responsibility, nor virtue, but only God's perfect love can
    encounter reality and overcome it. Nor is it some universal idea of
    love, but rather the love of God in Jesus Christ, a love genuinely
    lived, that does this."

    Custom Page Borders

    Word includes the possibility to add page borders to your documents. These borders can serve a valuable decorative purpose to enliven your creation. The page borders included with Word repeat around the edges of your page, regardless of page size.

    Unfortunately, Word limits you to using only the page borders provided with Word. As of now, Microsoft provides no ability to create new page borders. For instance, you might want to include text that goes around the edges of your document as a border. You cannot do this using the native page borders feature.

    There is a workaround, however. If you create your page borders as graphics, you can paste the graphics into your document. For example, you could use your favorite graphics program to create four narrow graphics, one for each edge of your paper. The graphics would consist of whatever text and art treatment you deemed appropriate. Then you can place the graphics along the four edges of your document pages.
