Tis The Season.....

.... for giving!

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38

My ministry has partnered with Resources For Moms in Logan County and Hope Always director, Jennifer Elamon, to help four needy families for Christmas this year. Our goal is to raise $100 each person as well as provide a food basket for each of these families and two other families.

If you wish to donate through the secure Paypal online payment website, click the donate button below. If you would prefer to send a donation by check, please make the check payable to Elizabeth Thomas and put Christmas fundraiser on the memo line. Mail the check to 8689 Coopertown Rd Russellville, KY 42276.

For the food baskets, we would like to provide each of the six families with a ham, canned goods, dry goods, potatoes, and fruit.

May the storehouse of God's blessings be poured out upon you as you give from the abundance He has already blessed you with!

Shultz Fundraiser

Update: Tony has passed away. I did find out that Tony gave his life to Jesus the other day! Please continue to pray peace and comfort for his loved ones and consider helping them financially if there's anything you can give.

~Tony & Vanessa~

~Oldest daughter, Amanda~

~Daughter, Kendra~

~Daughter, Taylor~

~Son, Dustin~

I'm asking first of all and, most importantly, that everyone please pray for this family. They have just found out that Tony has terminal cancer and he's being given a few short weeks to live. Please pray that God's will be done in Tony's physical body as well as working salvation in his heart.

Tony has been disabled for several years and the family has been barely getting by on his disability check. When he's gone, Vanessa and their three younger children who are still at home will have no income, no car, and, very soon, no place to live. I have set up this paypal donation button to allow people the opportunity to help out as the Lord leads them to. When you use this button to make a donation, the funds will be clearly marked "Schultz fundraiser" so I will know where to transfer the money to. Please prayerfully consider helping this family out during this very difficult time.

"So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7)

My prayer for today

My prayer for today: Lord, write Your Word upon our hearts. Let our lips be quick to speak Your praise and slow to speak in anger or out of turn. Let us be ready to give an answer for why we put our trust in You. Let us be humble enough to admit that we don't have all the answers but let us be bold enough to tell others that You are the answer, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In Jesus' name, AMEN!

Amanda Hildabrand-Duncan Benefit

I am helping to coordinate a benefit for a dear friend whose family has had a really hard time with lots of medical problems and have no income at this time. I have set up a Paypal donation button for this cause. Please note, the funds will go to my personal paypal but I will make sure that it gets to Amanda at the time of the benefit.

Opinion vs. Truth

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Sometimes, we hold so violently and stubbornly to our own opinions that we fail to see the truth. Most ancient cultures had conceptions of a flat earth which we now know to be untrue. They were limited in life to their opinions and imaginations. We must open ourselves to the truth!

Contrary to popular opinion, "good" people will not make it to heaven based on the merit of their own good works. All faiths do not lead to heaven. The Bible does say in Revelations 7:9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. So, there will be people of all nationalities and cultures in heaven. However, they must have repented of their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as Savior for He alone is the way, the TRUTH, and the life.

Who Do We Think We Are????

Sometimes, I think we just need to be "put in our place". In talking with people about the Lord, Jesus, our sin and our need for salvation, we often hear things like "God and I have an understanding" or "I don't feel like God will hold that against me". Also sometimes said is "The Bible is just man's interpretation of God's word".

My question to those responses is "Who do we think we are"???? This world has been around for at least 6000 years and Moses started recording God's word about 4600 years ago. With a life expectancy of around 80 years according to Wikipedia, how do we have the gall to argue with that? What makes us think that we are so special that God Almighty would bend His Holy Word just for us?

Most adored of His creation, why do we continue to reject Him and His provision of eternal life by choosing our sin over salvation?  What have we to be so prideful of that we refuse to bow to the King of the universe? We spend our short lives fulfilling our worldly lusts only to, one day, stand before the throne of the One who lovingly formed us in our mother's womb, the One who fashioned us after Himself in hopes that we would love and worship Him.

It is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment. I'm 32 years old, I'll most likely die in the next 50-60 years, if not before then. I'm so glad I have the blessed hope of Jesus Christ. I would much rather spend the short time I have left in submission to Him than striving to get my own way, which will prove to be no good in the end, anyways. Romans 14:11-12 "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

Cowboy Card Game

Dusty created a cowboy card game last night. It's called Around the Fire. The board is set up to look like a campfire. The rules of the game are just like Go fish except instead of saying "Go fish", you say "Stoke the fire" when someone asks you for a card you don't have and they draw the card from the "fire" in the middle. Pretty creative!!!!
