03/23/2004 Subject: TBT Spark Pro 2520 hi ... 30 Hour Famine: www.homestead.com/thespark/30HFamine04.html The donations we collected were mailed to World Vision Monday. Our grand total was $1,559.35. Check our Famine site for a complete breakdown. If for some reason you have donations you were unable to turn in, please turn them in ASAP and we'll get them to World Vision. Please send thank you notes to all your donors. We'll be presenting awards to the top 5 fundraisers this Sunday (03.28.2004) in the High School. Quotes: www.Stuff.tbt-spark.org "Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he won't be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who's always telling you that, of course, he's nobody. Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed." ... C. S. Lewis (1898-1963), Christian Behavior "It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine were then surcharged with belief in the supernatural, miracles were everywhere. Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive. And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine. ... G. A. Chadwick (1840-1923), Gospel of St. Mark [1887] Bible: www.Bible.tbt-spark.org James 1:12 NKJV 12 "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

Stuff: www.Stuff.tbt-spark.org "It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books as written in a specially Christian form of speech, standing apart and distinguishable from the common language of the eastern Roman provinces. Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world." ... W. M. Ramsay (1851-1939), The Letters to the Seven Churches [1904] "We must try to keep the mind in tranquility. For just as the eye which constantly shifts its gaze, now turning to the right or to the left, now incessantly peering up or down, cannot see distinctly what lies before it, but the sight must be fixed firmly on the object in view if one would make his vision of it clear; so too man's mind when distracted by his countless worldly cares cannot focus itself distinctly on the truth." ... St. Basil the Great (330?-379) Bible: www.Bible.tbt-spark.org 1 John 4:20-12 NKJV 20 "If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ signed, David www.tbt-spark.org ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To UNSUBSCRIBE to the TBT Spark e-mail newsletter send an e-mail to TBTSparkAZ@aol.com with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line and the e-mail address you wish to have removed in the body of the e-mail. |
