“The law of God should be loved and honored by His true people now more than ever before. There is the most imperative necessity of urging the injunction of Christ upon the minds and hearts of all believers, men and women, youth and children: “Search the Scriptures.” Study your Bible as you have never studied it before.

Liver DetoxAccording to the American Liver Foundation in

Cedar Grove, N.J., liver disease ranks as the third leading disease related cause of death for Americans aged 25 to 59. Particularly common liver disorders include hepatitis and cirrhosis. Many investigators believe that liver dam-age follows a spectrum, progressing from inflammation and swelling to fatty degeneration, cirrhosis and cancer.

Vegan Formula

*Prices listed above do not include shipping and handling, or sales tax for IL

Fact: Are you tired? Did you know that one of the most com-mon and debilitating symptoms of liver disease is fatigue?

Fact: Are you lacking energy? Did you know that many people who suffer from liver disease say their usual “pep” is gone, and that they experience weakness and a lack of energy throughout the day.

Think you might be at risk? Would you like to improve the health of your liver? This detox formula can help prevent cancer of the liver, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and many more liver related illnesses. You can also take this simply for maintenance in improving the health of your liver.

Satan’s CreationGod then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it

“Angel Food Cake,” and said, “It is good.”

Satan then created chocolate cake and named it “Devil’s Food.”

God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.

And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonald’s and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, “You want fries with that?” And Man replied, “Yes! And super size them!” And Satan said, “It is good.” And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

When we moved to the farm, I discovered several columbines blooming in a weed-filled flowerbed. I was delighted. They were the same as the ones my mother had lovingly nurtured in the garden I knew as a child.

I weeded, fertilized, and gave them loving care. One day an elderly neighbor told me that she too, recalled this hard-to-find columbine hybrid in her own mother’s garden.

I longed to give her some, but had so few. I didn’t want to risk losing them. Then, on impulse, I grabbed a spade and dug up the largest plant. After wrapping it carefully in damp newspapers, I handed it to her. “Here,” I said, “I want you to enjoy them, too.”

Several years later, during an especially bitter winter, my columbines died. When the snow melted, I watched in vain for the first green leaves and searched the border for seedlings. Nothing remained.

One May morning the telephone rang. It was my elderly friend. “I understand your columbines winterkilled,” she said. “I planted mine by a south wall, and they’re coming up beautifully. In fact, I just discovered several dozen seedlings. I’ll bring some over this afternoon.”

So again, I have my beloved columbines - because I shared. Give and it shall be given you, the Bible says.

You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,By the very manner in which you speak,

By the way you employ your leisure time,By the use you make of a dollar and dime.

You tell on yourself by the clothes you wear,By the spirit in which your burdens you bear,

By the kind of things at which you smile,By the music you listen to all the while.

You tell what you are by the way you walk,By the things of which you delight to talk,By the manner in which you bear defeat,

By so simple a thing as how you eat.

By the books you choose, from the well-filled shelf,In these ways and more,

you tell on yourself.

It really doesn’t make much sense,In any effort at false pretense.

One day, a man went to visit a church, He got there early, parked his car and got

out. Another car pulled up near the driver got out and said, “ I always park there! You took my place!” The visitor went inside for Sabbath School, found an empty

seat and sat down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, “That’s my seat! You took my place!” The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing. After SabbathSchool,thevisitor went into the

sanctuary and sat down. Another member walked up to him and said, “ That’s where I always

sit! You took my place!” The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still he said nothing. Later as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change. Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet. Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, “What happened to you?” The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye, “I took your place.”
