“And oh, Brothers and Sisters, let us always carry our case into the highest court and live before the Lord and not as the slaves of men! If we are conscious that we have sincerely done what we have done as unto the Lord and if we feel sure that He has approved our service, it is of the smallest possible consequence what men shall say about us! Let us never provoke our Brothers and Sisters to be ill-tempered with us, neither let us do anything that can be rightly censured—but if we have gone somewhat beyond common custom in the fervor of our spirit, let us reply with young David to his envious brethren, “Is there not a cause?” The opinions of other men are no rule to us—we have our own obligations to discharge and, as our debt of love is larger than usual, let us take liberty to be as full of love and zeal as we can be—only regretting that we cannot go still further in the way of sacred service.”
C.H. Spurgeon

Thank you for the fellowship last Sunday. We were able to leave for home on Wednesday evening. We are settling nicely and we started home schooling in full force today. :)
God Bless as you minister to your congregation.
Also: On my blog on the right side bar, there are some ministry websites. Our church is Cornerstone Baptist Church.
There is the Bible. org website which a friend of ours manages, and then there is our pastor Justin Wheeler's blog. You may find all of these enriching.
Justin's sermons are also available online. I LOVED this Sunday's sermon. We are in Philippians.
It was nice meeting you both, and we are thankful you and your family made it back home.
I found your church on the web and on itunes and have downloaded the last couple messages and am looking forward to listening.
