Don't you just want to join the little stinker in the next verse?!
We recently received this message from the president of our organization:
"I know you will rejoice with me in the fact that this year's offering [Lottie Moon Christmas Offering] was slightly more than one million dollars above our 2010 offering, making it one of the largest responses in history. This is a significant statement in a year of tough financial realities that has created major difficulties for many organizations like ours. Thankfully, our convention still regards the work we do together as a real priority."
Praise the Lord!!! Thank you so very much for your gifts of love so that we can be here. Thank you on behalf on my colleagues who are spread out all over the world engaging peoples in war-zones, poverty, hope-lessness and fear. Thank you for loving God and the glory of His Name among the nations, tribes and tongues. Words cannot fully express our gratitude! Praise the awesome Name of the Lord!
And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Revelation 5:9-14
