‘Celebrating Unity within the Christian Community
via’ Diversity’
“Merry Christmas from Florida”
Editorial – by Rev. Sarah H. Edwards
Who are you? Why were you born? What is your purpose in life?
A lot of people are afraid to tell you who they are. Once they become a Christian, they don’t trust that those Church people will accept them if they truly knew about their past. They fail to realize that everyone else in the congregation who has been born again have also been ‘saved’ from something or someone also. Therefore, they join the ranks by dressing in their Sunday best while putting on their church face each week as they join in their congregation. Unfortunately, many Christians don’t know who they are? Why they were born nor what is their purpose in life. And those who do know are afraid to tell you who they think they are for fear of rejection. If we dare look unto Jesus, our Saviour then understand and accept who He is, why was he born and what His purpose is – then we have an attitude of gratitude, we will see a little of ourselves in everyone we meet, and thank God anew for sending Jesus to pay a debt that He did not owe and one that we nor any other person could not pay. Then when we celebrate life with a grateful heart; we will truly witness the love of God in operation – yes, the fruit of His Spirit will low from breast to breast - from one part of the Body[person] of Jesus to another part [person] - Until each one of us began to celebrate the death of our self and our being born again of the Spirit of God – we will then be able to keep ‘Mary’ in our Christmas Season. It is only then that the world will see the Church moving through the earth as one man who has matured to the level that each member in particular is capable of entering into true friendship with other parts of the Body of Christ that may even be different. The key to growing in Christ Jesus is recognizing that it is only His grace and mercy that have saved and kept all of us. We have no need to overcompensate as we can not add or take away from how much God loves each and every one of us.- Even when we – yes, were still sinners! Starting this Christmas – keep it real – be yourself – appreciate your God given personality – respect people who look different and have a different personality than yours - and most of all > > >
“ Have a Very MARY Christmas ”

*EXERT FROM TEACHING “In life there are many case studies of women who had an encounter with someone who changed their lives, simply because they demonstrated a
genuine interest in them as an individual. Jesus unconditional love. His trustworthiness enable women to accept themselves by accessing their worth from God’s perspective and
not the way they have allowed themselves to be judged by others in the past, by their outward appearance.”

Freeze Dried Foods was a pioneer in the commercial
development of freeze dried meats, and continues to be the
world’s leader in freeze-dry technology In the 1960’s, we
worked with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in
adapting these meals to meet the requirements of NASA; s space program.
This break through in food technology was used abroad most of the Apollo
missions, and today we continue to produce many of the foods used on the
shuttle flights. The foods produced is for use on the space missions and are
packed into unique pouches developed by NASA. These pouches have a
special valve that allows water to be injected into the pouch. The water
reconstitutes the freeze-dried food. If the food is meant to be eaten hot, the
pouch is then placed in a food warmer and heated to serving temperature.
(These packages are not available for commercial sale, sorry.) Sales
opportunities are available as an end-time ministry.

As a physician, I’ve always been fascinated by the
way the Bible illustrates spiritual realities in physical
terms. And so many of those physical terms refer to
the human body. Why is the body so often used to
illustrate spiritual truth? Perhaps because God knew
the body is an constant (largely unaffected by
centuries of changing cultures) as it is common
(everybody has one). Everyone can immediately
relate. One of the interesting analogies in Scripture
is the means of spiritual growth: “milk” for spiritual
newborns and the “meat of the Word” or “solid food”
for the mature. Both nourish the body, but each in its
own way and in the proper sequence. By
understanding the different ways milk and solid food
serve the body’s needs, we obtain unusual insight
into the spiritual growth process. MILK IS GOOD
FOOD Most of the references to milk in the New
Testament are negative. Paul suggested to
members of one church that they weren’t yet ready
for solid food; they were still behaving like babies
and needed milk. I’m sure he was right, but I wish he
had given more space to the positive aspects of milk.
He seemed to want to hurry on and get his new
Christians weaned. It took Peter to write
appreciative words, about milk: “Like newborn
babies, you crave pure spiritual milk so that by it you
may grow up in your salvation” (I Peter 2:1).Did Peter
understand the miracle of milk? Without milk, there
would be no human race. The complex apparatus
for milk production (and the system of hormones and
enzymes that switches it on) has to work precisely if
our race is to survive. In years past, for all babies, it
was mother’s milk or die. Even today with all
the science to help us, formulate in feeding bottles are poor
substitutes for he real thing. As we look at this amazing food
designed by God for the survival of babies, we understand why. So
who is surprised that God’s enemy has redirected so many people to
think it is normal to use the woman’s breast as sexual symbols and
not baby feeding sources A mother’s diet may be rough and raw,
but when such food has passed through here body, all that is
indigestible has been removed. The milk she produces is
simple and pure. And that’s what babies need, because they lack
four things possessed by those more mature: discrimination,
definition, digestion, and defenses. A baby cannot discriminate
between nourishment an poison. A baby puts everything in their
mouth. Therefore, a mother’s job is to discriminate for her baby. A
baby has no teeth, no dentition. Even if an infant knew what was
good food and is broken up in small digestible fragments, the
mother chews it for the baby; or the is fed ‘strained’ food.
Digestion is an added means of discrimination that serves the
mother and the child. The mother’s stomach and intestine select
what to absorb from the mixture of things she has eaten. The
mother’s liver modifies the chemical structure of the absorbed food
and stores some until it is needed. Finally the lining cells of her
breast select the actual materials to put into her breast milk. Now, if
you dare call yourself a Bishop, Pastor, Teacher, Evangelistic,
Missionary, or any other kind of church leader in a local assembly
and you are not feeding our Father’s babies His Baby Food...you
have crept in unawares into the kingdom of God through another
was instead of the Door - Jesus and you shall be criminally charged
by DFAC [the Divine Father’s Almighty Court] with child abuse and
child abandonment by the Righteous Judge Himself. And No,
Jesus
will
Not Be Your Advocate!
NOW THAT THE TIME HAS COME WHEN YOU OUGHT
TO BE TEACHERS, YOU STILL NEED SOMEONE TO TEACH YOU AGAIN THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE ORACLES OF GOD; LIKE THOSE WHO NEED MILK, AND NOT STRONG MEAT. FOR EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK IS UNSKILFUL IN THE WORD OF OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR HE IS JUST A BABY - Hebrews 5:12-14
