Thanksgiving Again
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/29/09
I Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (KJV)
Thanksgiving day is almost here.
It comes around just once each year.
It's good we set this day apart,
But thankfulness should fill our heart.
Not once a year but all year long.
In prayer and praise and also song.
Paul told us, “In every thing,”
Our thankfulness to God we bring.
Let me give you some good advise.
Note all God's gift…

Magnify the Lord
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/29/09
Psalm 34:3 “O magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together.” (KJV)
John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (KJV)
“O magnify the Lord with me...exalt His name together.”
Praise the Lord with thankful hearts in clear and cloudy weather.
This is the task of all His own; to lift God's name on high.
In all we do and all we say the Lord we magnify.
To magnify means make larger that al…

Trust
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/27/09
Job 13:15 “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” (KJV)
If you trusted God for the new birth,
Then trust Him too while here on earth.
If eternal life is in God's hands,
Then trust His wisdom in all He plans.
Or is your God just for after death;
Once you have taken your last breath?
Then God will show His mighty power.
Is He not so great to trust this hour?
If His wisdom planned the universe,
And sent His Son to redeem the curse.
Did His wisdom somehow s…

It is Depressing
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/25/09
How depressing it must be
to go through life and never see
that there's a plan purposed for me
to live with God eternally.
By Christ's blood the way's been made.
Redemption's price by Him was paid.
I could never make the grade.
God did it all without my aid.
If you're not sure of eternity
then turn to Christ and bow your knee.
If you will ask His child you'll be,
for God's grace to you is free.
In God's Word these truths are clear
and that's the g…

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
(God's Way is Best)
By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/25/09
Does the light at the end of your tunnel
Seem like a million or more miles away?
Is the light that is flickering yonder
Like a candle for a child's birthday?
Sometimes the tunnel seems forever
And the end seems to reach eternity.
You know that with God all things are possible
But there's no hope for a change that you can see.
Even if your trial lasts a life time.
Don't despair for our God is on the throne.
We wil…

The Whole Purpose of God's Plan
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/28/09
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (KJV)
Can the God of all creation, who with words created space,
With the act of merely speaking put the universe in space,
Have the power to save a sinner with His love…

Trusting God
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/7/09
Genesis 18:25 “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”(KJV)
When the answer does not come in the way you think it should.
Does your faith grow old and cold, you give up on doing good?
Our time is not God's time and our ways are not His ways.
Let the waiting grow your faith. You will find it always pays.
God's ear has not gone deaf nor His hand a little weak.
It's time to trust Him more and His perfect will to seek.
His eyes have not grown dim tha…

Christ the Only Way
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/18/09
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (KJV)
There's a place for tolerance but the truth we must proclaim.
There's no other way to God except through Jesus' name.
Do all roads lead to Rome? Even maps shows that's not so.
You will never see the Father unless Jesus Christ you know.
Christ said this of Himself; that He's the only way.
How could He make it clearer? What more…

God's Love or the Devil's Hell?
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/21/09
II Corinthians 5:14-15&21 “For the love of Christ constraineth us;
because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live
unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might
be made the righteousness of God in him.”(KJV)
Some people preach on hell to get folk to…

Forward Gears But No Reverse
By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/03/09
Choices that we make last far beyond today.
And there is no reverse along our life's highway.
That doesn't mean to say we can't go left or right.
But reversing what's been done is an idiot's delight.
Now we can make amends for bad choices that we made.
But they are not erased it only makes them fade.
Water poured upon the sand can't be put back in the cup.
Can a wrong that we have done ever truly be made up?
Be careful what you sow for…

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

John 14:1-2 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (KJV)
Let not your heart be troubled in the midst of world decay.
The Savior gave this promise that He would return someday.
“I'm going to the Father to prepare a place for you.
And there you're going to join me when your life on earth is th…

Love Demonstrated

John 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all
men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (KJV)
John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.” (KJV)
What’s the best thing I can do, my love to demonstrate?
It’s more than just to do my best to keep my heart from hate.

The Beam In My Eye

Luke 6:41-42 “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say
to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou
thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out
first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the
mote that is in thy brother's eye.” (KJV)

The Only Sacrifice

Hebrews 9:26 “For then must he often have suffered since
the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world
hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” (KJV)
Abraham and Isaac, more than father and son.
This is how the nation of Israel begun.
But it wasn’t always smooth, no one would dare suggest.
For God gave father Abraham a mighty big request.
“Take thy young son Isaac and offer him to me.”
And Abraham obeyed wi…

You Are Not Forgotten

II Corinthians 4:17 “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;” (KJV)
I Peter 1:7 “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” (KJV)
Do we need reminding that God has not forgot?
Especially when our life is tied up in a kn…

What is The Purpose of Christ in Your Life?

Colossians 1:18 “And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things
he might have the preeminence.” (KJV
What is the purpose of Christ in your life?
Is it to bring peace between you and your wife,
Or maybe to help with financial concerns?
Or to rise in ones work; for this your heart yearns?
There must be a greater purpose than these.

Hebrews 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,

The Lord’s Day is approaching; the day for Christian rest.

So many other interests vie for our leisure time.
To pursue them in the week is not a mortal crime.

I Corinthians 2:9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (KJV)
Can you imagine heaven and eternal life with God,
After men have planted you beneath the earthly sod?
Do you have assurance that heaven’s true for you;
That no power from earth or hell can e’er this truth undo?
Have you read God’s promises? Have you this message heard?
This assurance that G…

God Given Gifts

I Corinthians 9:27 “But I keep under my body, and bring
it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached
to others, I myself should be a castaway.” (KJV)
Each talent that I have is given from the Lord.
On each one of His servants these gifts have been outpoured.
They will be empowered to fulfill our Lord’s design.
The power is all from God and none of it is mine.
Just take a look at Moses who in his own flesh tried.
But all that he acc…

Songs in the Night

Psalm 77:6 “I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune

Now that I am getting old with much more time to spare.
I read again the songs I sang and find new meaning there.
I let the words pass through my mind but this time very slow.
And now I find just what it was the author came to know.
In the past I worked to learn the rhythm and the rhyme.
But to know the author’s heart, I…
