The War of Good and Evil

Pastor Marlowe Washington of A.M.E. Church on Meigs Street called the youths who attended the funeral for slain teen Brent Coley, for an end to such violence and urged those in attendance to accept Jesus into there lives. 24 youths dedicated there lives to Jesus Christ. This article in the D&C Local Section was very powerful. This is real news! Washington stated "Its a war of good and evil".

Genesis 4:88 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Bishop Willie Davis spoke and stated he has presided over funerals for a quarter of the homicides committed in a year. Using 50 homicides per year he is presiding over 13 homicide funerals. This man needs our prayers! He also states that they need to turn back to God. Now he is talking to the black people in the Rochester community, but these words are meant for us all. We need to pray for these people, God can turn this around if we ask him for help.

1 Thessalonians 5:15-5:18
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Rochester is where we live and worship Jesus Christ, let us pray for this community. A copy of the article is posted just double click on it to enlarge it.

TBS Tee Shirts

For the last few weeks we have talked about getting some tee shirts that have the TBS name, statement of faith, and a cross on them. We had a sample that most of us should have seen. The feed back has been positive and some would like to purchase them. Some changes that were suggested were to put the cross and statement on the back of the shirt with a small cross on the front left side. Some colors suggested were burgundy and black. As more information comes available, we will post it. The price will be around $15.00 but that needs to be confirmed. If you decide to order a shirt please give to Curt the size and color you want along with the money. You are not obligated to buy one. Further information will be posted on this post. Thank you and God Bless your day!

Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
