“Some Christians who do know Christ are in great doubt as to whether they know him. This ought not to be. It is too solemn a matter to be left to chance or conjecture. I believe there are saved ones who do not know of a surety that they are saved. They are raising the question often that never ought to be a question. No man ought to be content to leave that unsettled, for mark thee, my hearer, if thou art not a saved man, thou art a condemned man. If thou art not forgiven, thy sins lie on thee. Thou art now in danger of hell if thou art not now secure of heaven, for there is no place between these two. Thou art either a child of God, or not. Why say ye, ??I hope I am a child of God, yet I do not know; I hope, yet not know that I am forgiven??? In such suspense ye ought not to be. Thou art either one or the other ? either a saint or a sinner, either saved or lost, either walking in the light or walking in the dark.” Charles Spurgeon
Our church is going through something called the “New Testament Challenge”. We’ve been going through each book of the New Testament. There are reading plans, study guides, community group discussion guides and then the Sunday service. Our pastor is covering the book of Revelation now.
October 31st came and went. Matthew was dressed as a hunter / soldier, and we went to our church, Church on the Hill for their Fall Family Blast. Church on the Hill did a knock out job creating an entertaining, fun, and safe environment for kids. There were bounce houses, mazes, professional magic shows, melodrama’s performed by our junior high students, carnival style games where kids could win candy or prizes, a petting zoo, and food booths with favorites such as Quiznos, Churros and Italian food. As usual, Matthew had fun. Don’t forget to click the “Read More” link below to read the rest of the article.
These days, a man might have a cell phone, wallet, digital camera, sun glasses, PDA, IPod. There are bags out there that can be used by men to conveniently carry all these items. You can call them ?man bags?, men?s carry all, travel bags, or something else.
Unfortunately, we live in a society that has very strict stereotypes of what a man is. A man may want to use one of these, but feel that he will get criticizm from other people. What do you think? I created a poll for you all to vote. You have to be registered and logged in to vote. So if you haven’t registered, please do so and then cast your vote at the Man Bag Poll

Now is definitely the time of year to bake some special treats.
