2.  Examples of God’s Involvement in the  USA                                                             (by     (Steve Goodier)      

                                           

     History records amazing coincidences in the lives of two of America's founders - Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. You are aware that Jefferson labored for two weeks writing the Declaration of Independence. He showed his drafts to Adams and Benjamin Franklin, who edited it, honed Jefferson's ideas and refined the document. When it was finally finished, he brought it before the Continental Congress for approval. And America remembers her birth date, of course, as July 4, 1776.

     Jefferson and Adams spent the next 50 years debating ideas about how this new nation should govern itself and what it should eventually become. Their administrations argued philosophies and legislation. Sometimes the two men were contentious, but later in life they seemed to develop more of an appreciation for each other. Though they lived far apart, they faithfully corresponded.

     Surprisingly (and coincidentally), they both died the same day! Adams is said to have uttered, just before he died, "Thomas Jefferson survives." He couldn't have known that Jefferson himself died only a few hours earlier.

     Do you know what that day was? July 4 - Independence Day. Do you know what year? It was 1826, exactly 50 years from the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And the coincidences don't end there.

     Couriers were dispatched with the news of the great men's deaths. From Braintree, Massachusetts the messenger with news about Adams traveled south. Jefferson's messenger came north from Monticello, Virginia. Do you know where they met? In Philadelphia ... under the shadow of the great hall where both men's lives were so dramatically shaped, and where they labored to give birth to a nation.

     Coincidence? Perhaps. But historians of the day often attributed these coincidences to providence - as a good omen for a new nation.

     Our lives are full of surprises and amazing coincidences, though we may not always take notice. Whether or not we see the hand of providence in coincidence, life teems with the remarkable.

     Learn to notice what others do not see, and you can expect to be surprised. Learn to notice what others do not see, and what you see will amaze.

3. Indepedence & Freedom

    

John Chapter 8

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him,
We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man:
how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever:
but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

And the chief captain answered,
With a great sum obtained I this freedom.

And Paul said,
But I was free born.
Acts 22:28

Freedom still has a cost.
Natural freedom on earth costs sacrifice.
The sacrifice made by the troops serving in the military

and by extension made by their families.
Thank God for those who sacrifice for our freedom!
Thank God for freedom here in the USA!
Thank God for spiritual freedom through Christ all over the world.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1

Jesus paid the price for our eternal spiritual freedom;

he paid with His life for the forgiveness of our sins.
He rose from the grave to prove He is God in the flesh

and has authority over death, hell, the grave and over sin.

Thank God Jesus paid that price for us all!
Thank God Jesus paid the price for the whole world! (John 3:16)

In Christ,
Pastor Bill

4.  Traffic Programs For Website Owners
and Web-Masters
Each of the four websites below are both a manual and automatic surfing for credits program.  This  is  the  best  of  both  worlds in surfing for credits to advertise your website!
A free member can advertise up to 5 websites in each mebership.
If you do not duplicate any sites that is potentially advertising 20 sites FREE!
Or you could advertise the same 5 sites  in each program.  Also, if you do not have as many as 5 websites, you could advertise different web-pages seperately to give your site more exposure.  Each of these traffic programs works the same way as one another.
I have been using all 4 of them!
Also, for those of you WHO DO NOT OWN WEBSITES;
it can be an interesting way to randomly and quickly surf the net.
