Palm Sunday 2020



THANK YOU
THANK YOU for keeping on keeping on praying for me, and I want you to know God is answering your prayers.  I asked you to pray that I get closer and know the Presence of God, and I feel He has answered our prayers in that way.  I woke up this morning, ask His blessings on my short life remaining on planet Earth, came down to my study, and turned on my computer. I Googled a few questions and didn’t like the answers.  You do know you can talk to the computer and get answers, right?  So, I ask Google, “are you omniscient?”  see his/her/its answer:
“Google is omniscient, omnipresent, immortal, infinite. She forgets nothing and answers prayers. According to MacPherson, Google must, therefore, be God. Hence, he has founded his church.” Nov 20, 2012.
 For me, this seems to be what John was writing and warning of antichrists to come, in his first letter.  Many people, God’s frozen chosen, will go to Google for answers before searching Scripture, and this is wrong.  After seeing hearing her response, I resolve to go to the Bible first.  What say you?
Today is Palm Sunday.  Our world is in pandemonium because of the coronavirus, and Church doors will close.  But God indwells our hearts and will be with us in our homes and accept our worship here.  I am amazed at how the Holy Spirit gives men a message for our time –today is a time of trouble – and helps us keep on keeping on serving him.  I am going to share Charles Stanley’s In Touch for today and you Will see what I am trying to say: 

THE BLESSING OF GENTLENESS.

“MODERN LIFE CONSTANTLY BOMBARDS US WITH messages that say happiness depends on working hard to get every single thing we desire. It urges and even commands us to pursue satisfaction aggressively, sometimes at any cost (even when it hurts other people). Yet in turning to God’s Word, we find encouragement to live with meekness – or gentleness – toward the Lord, each other, and the world around us. But how?
      It often feels like a struggle to express this kind of humility and compassion to the world, especially when there is so much brokenness all around us – and within our own heart. Being angry or despondent is much easier and perhaps also serves to protect ourselves. But think about the way God loves us and never holds back. Consider how you might press onward on, following His example and sharing His goodness with everyone you meet this week.”  -- Charles Stanley, In Touch, Sunday, April 5, 2020.

NOVEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER

  November 2021 Newsletter Robert Lindenberger 3325 3rd Ave. Mims, FL 32754. 321-368 -7184 Expas65yaho.com “… God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. (Heb. 13:5-6). Life gets tedious and boring at times, and it is hard to keep on keeping on. Have you ever felt like giving up? Elijah did. The Lord had just used him to show the nation of Israel that the Lord is God (1 Kings 18). Yet, the threat of Queen Jezebel so alarmed him that he ran to Beersheba, 100 miles south (19:3). Then he walked another 150 miles south to Horeb, the mountain of God. Twice God asked Elijah what he was doing there (vv.9, 13). Both times he answered with identical words—“I am alone and left; and they seek to take my life” (vv. 10, 14). He had become so preoccupied with his own fears that he had forgotten what God had done through him at Mount Carmel. Despite his great victory, Elijah plunged into t

INTRODUCTION - MY VERY FIRST BLOG

Hello, my name is Bob, God is good all the time; all the time, God is good!, Lindenberger.  To introduce myself, I am going to post my 2019 Newsletter:   I love to tell the old, old story Of Jesus and how He saved me.  Another Christmas month is here, and I am changing the format of my newsletter. (but it didn't copy to here)  I do love to tell the old, old story because it makes me happy and blessed to hear and tell it over and over again. When Peter wrote his second letter, he said this, "This is my second letter to you, dear brothers, in both of them I have tried to remind you – if you let me – about the facts you already know: facts you learn from the holy prophets and from the apostles who brought you words of our Lord and Savior." (2 Peter 3:1-8)_ A professor where I went to college (EPC) used to say, "Keep your testimony current and alive. Tell it over and over again and never let it grow dim." So, I'm going to give you my testimony, whic

October 2021 NEWSLETTER
