WORDS OF INSPIRATION

"I'm a New Testament Christian. I reject and throw out titles. I'm not a fundamentalist, though I'm fundamental in all of my doctrine.

I'm not an evangelical, because that means that I exclude the Catholics and main-liners, and Orthodox.

I'm a believer who loves Jesus and I work with everybody else whatever their denomination;

Catholic, Orthodox, charismatic, main line, evangelicals, anyone who loves Jesus." — Bill Bright

WORDS OF INSPIRATION

In normal life we hardly realize how much more we receive than we give; life can be rich only with such realization.

source: Dietrich Bonhoffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

***********

“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.”

Henri Nouwen

**********

"You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

(Mark 10.42-45 ESV)

A special Food Drive for Easter Season

BFMC is encouraging members to bring non perishable food for our Easter Food drive.

Our food barrel is depleted. Help us by bringing food items so that we can provide needed assistance to individuals and families.

Lent is a season that reminds us to repent and get our lives centered, our priorities straight, and our hearts clean. This holy season offers us a new chance to say, "yes" to the Lover of our Souls who created us, who made us in his own image. Lent is the time for a restoration project that will reveal the beauty of God’s design for us, showing once again the scale, proportion, and priorities intended by our Maker.

As we come to the end of this Lent Season : This Sunday is Easter Sunday, the Resurrection of our Lord.

REFLECTIONS

From OUR DAILY BREAD:

***** NEW *****
"What God is doing you may not know now,
But someday you'll understand why;
Questions that taunt you and trouble your mind
Will one day have heaven's reply"
What's better than answers to our why questions? Trusting a good God who has His reasons.

One of the qualities God looks for in His people is a heart that is willing to serve Him.
Christ builds His church with different stones. And make each one secure;
All shapes and sizes fit in place to make His church endure.

REFLECTIONS ON LENT
As we enter into this year’s spiritual journey through Lent, we will once again reflect on the angst and turmoil of Gethsemane, the horror of the cross, and the triumph of the Lord Jesus’ resurrection. The Lord that we follow walks in a path of both suffering and beauty. The Christian life is not a pollyanna experience, but it is grounded in reality while at the same time in unshakeable hope.

It is a solemn service of confession and forgiveness

Lent is a season that reminds us to repent and get our lives centered, our priorities straight, and our hearts clean. This holy season offers us a new chance to say, "yes" to the Lover of our Souls who created us, who made us in his own image. Lent is the time for a restoration project that will reveal the beauty of God’s design for us, showing once again the scale, proportion, and priorities intended by our Maker.

As the Lent Season is upon us: This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday in Lent

"Lent in 2011 started on Wednesday, the 9th of March and will continue for 46 days until Saturday, the 23rd of April.

March 13, was the first Sunday in Lent, please Watch and Pray.

March 20, was the second Sunday in Lent, March 27, was the third Sunday in Lent.

April 3, is the Fourth Sunday in Lent.

These are the special readings for the week of fourth Sunday in Lent

April 3, 2011:

1 Samuel 16:1- 13; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5:8-18;

John 9:1- 41;
