I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The holy catholic church; * The communion of saints; The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen. * Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of believers in Christ, not just one particular church.Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord,

The Duel That Never Happened: George Washington vs. William Payne (1755) By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Pastor - InternetChurchOfChrist.org Director - LoveAllPeople.org The Duel That Never Happened: George Washington vs. William Payne (1755) (When George Washington was a young man in his early twenties.) "The following account, often published, appeared in the Alexandria Gazette August 25, 1874:" "When Washington, in command of the Virginia Rangers was waiting at Alexandria the arrival of Braddock's forces, an exciting election contest occurred between Mr. Fairfax and Mr. Payne for the House of Hurgesses. Washington supported Fairfax with much zeal: and, high words passing between him and Payne in the market square, Payne struck Washington a blow which brought him to the earth. The troops rushed from the barracks, and would have made short work of Payne, had not Washington pacified them, assuring them that he knew the proper course to take in the premises. Duels were not then under the ban of public opinion. All supposed that a fight was imminent. Next morning, however, Washington sent for Payne, and when the latter entered the room he saw on the table, not pistols, but a decanter of wine and two glasses. 'Mr. Payne,' said Washington, 'to err is human. I was wrong yesterday, but if you have had sufficient satisfaction, let us be friends'. Weems relates that from that day Washington was Payne's idea of true manhood." Source: "A Concise History Of The City Of Alexandria, Va., From 1669 to 1883," (page 11) by F.L. Brockett and Geo. W. Rock, as digitized by Google at http://books.google.com/books?id=YUgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q=&f=false Another account of the same events . . . "At the time Gen. Washington was stationed in Alexandria as a colonel of a British regiment, before the war of the revolution, an altercation took place in the court-house yard, between him and William Payne, in which Payne knocked Washington down. Great excitement prevailed, as Payne was known to be firm, and stood high, and Washington was beloved by all. A night's reflection, however, satisfied Washington that he was the aggressor and in the wrong, and in the morning he, like a true and magnanimous hero, sought an interview with Payne, which resulted in an apology from Washington, and a warm and lasting friendship between the two, founded on mutual esteem. " Source: "Historical Sketches Of Kentucky," (page 443) by Lewis Collins as digitized by Google at http://books.google.com/books?id=sEkVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA443#v=snippet&q=payne&f=false COMMENT: William Payne threw the first punch, thereby escalating a mere verbal argument into a dangerous physical attack. Thus Payne was in the wrong, and guilty of assault on Washington. But Washington -- following the teachings of Jesus -- did not seek retaliation of any kind, but instead sought to establish friendship, which he did. And when Washington died more than forty years later, Payne was an honorary pallbearer at the funeral. This is an excellent example of Christian "anger management."

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed. I turned my back on You and went away. But now I see the error of my ways, And now I want to turn again to you. * * * I pray that You will come into my life, As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me. I know that You are truly Son of God, I know that You have risen from the dead, I know that only You can save my soul. I need Your guidance, and I need Your love; I want to follow everywhere You lead. I truly do repent of all my sins; I feel remorse for evil I have done; I know that only You can make me clean. I turn my back on sin and look to You. I am forgiving all who did me harm, As You are now forgiving all my sins. And now as I commit myself to You, I pray that You commit Yourself to me. I pray that You will take me as I am, And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms. In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.HTML page with link to MP3 Audio Reading at => http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/rededicate.htmlIf you are a Christian who has fallen away from the Lord, now is the time to come back

An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real, live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church, so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by clicking HERE! - http://patriot.net/~bmcgin/findachurch.html

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
This chapel service is now complete.
