Cybersalt News
Sunday greetings, everyone!
Grandma Cybersalt and I are having a very nice visit with our eldest daughter and her family. Today we are all heading up for the second half of trip to spend some time with my mom and dad. We are looking forward to a good time.
There is also a new article by Rev. Suneel Barkat on the Cybersalt Site today. You will find a link to it below. Please do remember to pray for encouragement for him as the fundraising to bring him to Canada as a church planter is a bit staled with only $5,500 to go!
Speaking of time, I bet the guy in today's video share has a clock to help us countdown until we leave. He is pretty time obsessed himself!

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.

God's Indwelling, The Christian Life
One day on the way home from church a little girl turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon this morning confused me."
The mother said, "Oh! Why is that?
The girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's true," the mother replied.
"He also said that God lives within us. Is that true too?"
Again the mother replied, "Yes."
"Well," said the girl, "if God is bigger than us and He lives in us, wouldn't He show through?"
Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

Fool Me Once and You Will Be the Fool
Recently, the A/C company we use came and did their yearly inspection. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage took them around to the places that needed inspection. Everything turned out to be quite well and there were no problems.
That got me thinking of what happened many years ago with another company that did our A/C work. At the time, we didn’t know any company in that industry so we had to take some company that we did not know that much about, which is usually not a good idea.

Virtues of a Church
Many people, when thinking about a good church, have an idea of a beautiful church building with good seating arrangements, good parking, and a lawn where I can walk. This kind of person does not care about the service or the sermon. That kind of church, they think is an ideal church. This is not the picture of a true church. The Book of Acts tells us about the picture of a good church, but before we discuss the virtues, we need to know what the church is.
