Seven Letters to Seven Churches-Ephesus Part 7
The only thought I will add to Wally’s is that John, the one who wrote down the words of Revelation, also spent that last years of his life primarily living in Ephesus!

VerseD: Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22, ESV
Many things in this life and drive us down and practically kill us. Many other things can lift us up and give us joy.
The joy of the Lord is what gives us hope and makes the problems of life more nuisances (in the grand scheme).
This Sunday at Church: Greet Others
I know I deal with everything listed here that can make things uncomfortable when greeting people. And I am the Youth Pastor! We have been at our little church for just over a year, and there are still a few people who barely talk to me. They are more shy than I am! But a few shy ones have begun opening up.
Start by simply saying hi.Daniel
This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Greet Others.

VerseD: Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8, ESV
Our timeless, all-powerful, loving, ever-present, unchanging God put on human flesh to draw us to Himself in grace and forgiveness.
Trust in His nature and Word, not the changing winds of doctrine so prevalent nor emotional responses to life.
Yep
Yep yep.
VerseD: 2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3, ESV
Christ’s faithfulness and strength is what sustains and empowers us by the Holy Spirit to the glory of the Father. Trust in Him, not your own ability to be faithful. (But endeavor to be faithful!)
I Am a Soldier. This Is My Creed.
At least one more today.
Onward, Christian soldier!Daniel
In honor of the home-going of a godly man and combat veteran of the European campaign of WWII, W. L. “Red” Sims, I re-post the following.
Soldier’s Creed
Hearing a soldier in the United States Military recite his particular “Solder’s Creed,” whether it be with the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard, is something quite stirring.
Probably inspired by the military creeds of this world, an unknown author penned the following for soldiers in God’s Army, the Church: those bought with the blood of Christ, wearing the whole armor of God, and marching onward toward victory with the Sword of the Spirit in their hands.
The sooner we come to the realization that we are most certainly engaged in a spiritual war, the better. May we all be willing to stand unashamed…”and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:13).

Little Things With Big Impact
Okay, so you can take this opportunity to pray for Wally, but I was blown away by his little lesson that came from his … discomfort. It was convicting and comforting for me at the same time, so ENJOY!

Seven Letters to Seven Churches-Ephesus Part 6
Ephesus had a church for about half a decade (maybe more) when Jesus sent His letter through John’s revelation of Him. Remember the riot that started in Acts when Paul and company were there. The Ephesus church had toiled through many hardships for Christ.
Wally has some great thoughts here, too!

VerseD: Psalm 121:1
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
Psalm 121:1, ESV
In a world worried and complaining about all of the problems, we must remember God is in control and can help us.
And we can tell everyone else from where our hope comes.
a simple man of God
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
