A Review for the book "Decision to Love" Sacred Vows, book 3 by Michelle Sutton
Book Review for Christian Women's group called the "Review Crew." at Christian Women Affiliate!
Love is a decision, or is it merely an emotion?
Eight years after Tony and Hope’s affair ended, new problems arise.
Jimmy has gone off to college, but returns home with a startling
revelation that devastates his father and causes his final heart attack.
Now Hope is grieving the loss of both her husband and their son. She
tries to make sense of everything, and in the end she decides to love
her son through the grief. More than that, she makes the decision to
love whoever her son chooses to love, whether she agrees with his
choices or not.Tony’s life has its own disaster tearing through it.
First, he is accused of killing his ex-wife, but he is soon released
once the authorities realize he had nothing to do with it. The tragedy
with his ex led to some major changes in his life, however, and some
soul-searching that ultimately turns Tony’s life around. While he is
still adjusting to his new perspective on life, his long-lost daughter
Nina contacts him and has some secrets of her own. He is overjoyed to be
reunited with his daughter, but with their relationship comes an
entirely new set of challenges.Jimmy is confused about his faith, his
life, and ultimately, whom he should love. After some severe trials
knock him off what he thought was the right course for his life, he
makes the decision to love himself enough not to be used by someone
again. But will his decision protect him in the end?
About the Author: Michelle Sutton is a social worker (and now supervisor) who has been writing romantic fiction with an inspirational message for over nine years. Southeastern Arizona is where Michelle calls home. She loves being surrounded by mountains and fresh air, which inspires many of her novels. She and her husband are approaching twenty-two years of marriage and their two sons will begin their third year of college in August. She is the author of well over a dozen novels in print and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, as well as an avid book reviewer and blogger on a variety of sites. She founded Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers social networking site which has nearly 1200 members. Crafting new stories and reading/reviewing great books is her idea of a fun time.
I had a very difficult time reading this novel. I might not have signed up to read it if I had realized that it was such a hard read for me. When it comes right down to it I believe the writer could have written it somewhat less visual to a lifestyle that is not acceptable in the eyes of God. Then we as Christians know that we serve a forgiving God of Love. If someone is aware of the sins in their lives and seeks Gods forgiveness he is just in forgiving when we are willing to change our ways.
I was not able to read past the homosexual theme in this book.
Now, if this is your type of book to read I guess it is the reason the writer has written it. As for me, I could not let myself read all of it. This book can not be listed as "family friendly" in my house. Especially in my Christian family.

Rev. David Van Bebber, Pastor:
The Third Sunday of Advent Sister Shonda Self and her children, Abby and Trent brought the Advent Message at the wonderful Christmas Program in the evening. It was an evening of worship of singing Christmas Carols and reminding each one of us the reason for the Holiday Season that we call Christmas! The story of how Jesus come into the world is as awesome to most of us as it was when we first learned it as a small child. There were several folks who took part in the Christmas Program making it a most enjoyable evening in the Lord!
Brother David’s reading of the Word was in John Ch 9: Verses 28-38.
His sermon was about Spiritual Blindness. Before we believed upon the Son of God we were spiritually blind. Now that we are His and believe in Him, we were once blind, but now we see.
God has a purpose for everything that happens in our lives. At any point in time we must be prepared to speak for God and His son Jesus.
The Word became Flesh and lived among us!

The Story of the Christmas Guest: by Helen Steiner Rice
The Story of the Christmas Guest
by Helen Steiner Rice
It happened one day at December's end
Some neighbors called on an old-time friend.
And they found his shop so meager and mean,
Made gay with a thousand boughs of green.
And old Conrad was sitting with face ashine.
When he suddenly stopped as he stitched the twine.
And he said "My friends at dawn today,
When the cock was crowing the night away,
The Lord appeared in a dream to me.
And He said, 'I'm coming your guest to be"
So I've been busy with feet astir,
Strewing my shop with branches of fir.
The table is spread and the kettle is shined,
And over the rafters the holly is twined.
And now I'll wait for my Lord to appear;
And listen closely so I will hear,
His steps as he nears my humble place.
And I'll open the door and I'll look on his face."
Then his friends went home and left Conrad alone,
For this was the happiest day he had known.
For long since his family had passed away.
And Conrad had spent many a sad Christmas Day.
But he knew with the Lord as his Christmas guest,
This Christmas would be the dearest and best.
So he listened with only joy in his heart,
And with every sound he would rise with a start,
And looked for the Lord to be at his door.
Like the vision that he had had a few hours before.
So he ran to the window after hearing a sound,
But all he could see on the snow covered ground
Was a shabby beggar whose shoes were torn.
And all his clothes were ragged and worn.
But old Conrad was touched and he went to the door
And he said, "Your feet must be cold and sore.
I have some shoes in my shop for you.
And I have a coat to keep you warmer, too."
So with grateful heart the man went away.
But Conrad notice the time of day
And he wondered what made the dear Lord so late,
And how much longer he'd have to wait.
Then he heard another knock, and he ran to the door,
But it was only a stranger once more.
A bent old lady with a shawl of black,
And a bundle of kindling piled on her back.
But she asked only for a place to rest,
a place that was reserved, for Conrad's great guest.
But her voice seemed to plead, "Don't send me away,
Let me rest for awhile this Christmas Day."
So Conrad brewed her a steaming cup
And told her to sit at the table and sup.
After she had left, he was filled with dismay
For he saw that the hours were slipping away
The Lord had not come as He said He would
And Conrad felt sure he had misunderstood.
When out of the stillness he heard a cry.
"Please help, me and tell me - Where am I?"
So again he opened his friendly door.
And stood disappointed as twice before.
It was a child who had wandered away,
And was lost from her family on Christmas Day.
Again Conrad's heart was heavy and sad,
But he knew he could make this little girl glad.
So he called her in and he wiped her tears,
And he quieted all her childish fears.
Then he led her back to her home once more.
Then as he entered his own darkened door,
He knew that the Lord was not coming today,
For the hours of Christmas, had all passed away.
So he went to his room, and he knelt down to pray.
He said, "Lord, why did you delay?
What kept You from coming to call on me?
I wanted so much Your face to see."
Then softly, in the silence, a voice he heard.
"Lift up your head - I have kept My word.
Three times my shadow crossed your floor.
Three times I came to your lowly door.
I was the beggar with bruised cold feet;
I was the woman you gave something to eat;
I was the child on the homeless street.
Three times I knocked, three times I came in,
And each time I found the warmth of a friend.
Of all the gifts, love is the best.
I was honored to be your Christmas guest.

Rev. David Van Bebber, Pastor:
This Second Sunday of Advent Brother Terry and Sister Mary Barrow and their children Victoria and Curtis lighted the Candles of Advent and read the Scriptures and ended with Prayer. “As the journey of Advent continues, as we prepare to celebrate the nativity of Christ, John the Baptist's call to conversion sounds out in our communities. It is a pressing invitation to open our hearts and to welcome the Son of God Who comes among us to make divine judgement manifest.
When asked who he was, John spoke in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
Brother David continues his sermons from the book of John.

Food for Thought: If you're too busy dwelling on the past or thinking about the future, you won't be able to fully notice how fantastic things are right now.
Like the old saying goes "Past is History, Future is a Mystery and Today is a Gift and hence it is called the Present". Enjoy today, this moment and don't postpone your enjoyment.

I have been saved by the shed blood of his Son Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvery. I beleave in a Risen Saviour who now sits on the right hand of God. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit co-equal. Jesus will return to claim His chosen people, the called according to His Will. Jesus has said in His Holy Word the Bible that no one comes to the Father but by me.
Our Anniversary is March 28th. 1965. I have been married to a wonderful man for all these years! He loves God and His ways. We have always seeked Gods will in our lives. I am a mother of two fine sons, a mother-in-law to two special girls and I have one very handsome grandson who has a very special girl friend. I am a retired activities director at a long term care facility. I volunteer at our local food pantry, it is called The Samaritan Center.. I feel so blessed to have been able to help there since I have retired. My hobbies are flower arranging in baskets and other containers, also wall decorations. I have had the honor of designing and creating the flowers for several weddings. My husband and I enjoy fishing at the lake near by us. We both enjoy flea marketing and reminiscing about the good old days gone by.
Our lives evolve around our children, family and friends and our church family. I also have the privilege of singing in the choir at our church. A little Southern Baptist Church that is over one hundred years old.
I especially like to spend all the time I can on my computer. I have made so many friends online the past ten years. The computer is such a good learning experence for me with always something new to do, such as blogging and my groups.
I have loved Jesus as my Savior since I was eleven years old. I depend on Him to direct my life as I could do nothing without Him.

When God gives you a dream, you can be sure you'll run into delays, difficulties, detours and dead ends along the way. They are a natural part of life. But you can be ready for them. Now if anybody h
ad a right to be
discouraged, it was Noah. Do you know how long it took Noah to build the
ark? 120 years! Could you go 120 years on a project without one word of
encouragement from anybody else in society?
Noah trusted God. And when he heard God's warning about the future, Noah believed Him even though there was no sign of a flood. I bet there were many days that Noah didn't feel like going to work, but for 43,800 days, he went to the same place and he worked. He never gave up.
Don't give up on your dream either. Don't give up on the marriage. Don't give up on your health. Don't, don't, don't give up. God is in control! You haven't read the final chapter of your life. God's already written it, but you haven't read it yet. The Bible says, "God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to Him." God is looking for people that He can bless. I want you to be one of those people.
Don't give up!

Calhoun Baptist Church News October
28, 2012~
The Congregation was greeted by Brother Terry
Barrow with the announcements. This last week of October is a good time to tell
your Pastor just how much they are appreciated for “Pastor Appreciation Month.”
Our Contemporary Praise Song on the
big screen was called “If We are the Body” by The Casting Crowns”!
Sister Lori Remi has been the
Worship Leader the past to Sundays with the Hymns of Praise!
Our Children’s Church was held again
today for our children by Sister Shonda Self who has been doing this very
important Ministry for our little Ones along with Sister Mary Barrow. The
children made Cards of Appreciation to give to our Minister of the day, Brother
David! There are not many to help do this each Sunday. So, if you are
interested in helping in this Ministry contact Sister Margaret Fields or
Brother Terry Barrow.
We continue to pray for the Minister
who God has planned for us here at Calhoun Baptist Church.
This week we were honored to have
Brother David Van Bebber bring the message for us again!
“The Harvest is Ripe.” The workers
are so few!
Brother David told us to not miss
the chance to be one of the Laborers and then pray for more Workers. In Matthew
Ch.9:37 & 38 niv. Then Jesus speaks
to his disciples,,, “The harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to
send out workers into his harvest field.”
THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION TO ALL
WHO WANT TO COME AND HEAR A NEW Preacher preach Gods Word!.
We are trusting God. Our Heavenly
Father knows who He wants here with us.
The Pastor Search Chair-Woman
announced the first announcement for Brother David Van Bebber’s Call to come be
our Pastor.
To all of the Members of Calhoun
Baptist Church you matter, so you may want to come and hear Brother David speak
and maybe get acquainted with this very nice young man! It is very important to
have a say in who becomes our Pastor.
After the Sermon this morning we had
a Baptism for a young man who has professed his belief that Jesus is the Son of
God and he wants to live his life for Jesus as his Savior!

We have come into the House of God to worship You our Lord. We come with thanksgiving for the rain You have caused to fall upon us here in Calhoun and through out Henry County. Our thoughts and prayers are for the many folks who have suffered in the stormy winds of the Hurricane that someone named Isaac. We know that God even controls the winds. Although we praise him for the rain!
We are the Body of Christ and we should look forward to going to His place of worship!
The sermon brought to us today by our guest minister Brother Charles Brant was, “Is This Just Another Sunday?” He chose his sermon from the beautiful Book of Psalm.
Psalm 100:1-4 (KJV)Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye landsServe the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Psalm 118:24This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 122:1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Our Guest Minister was Brother Nathan Sinclair. The Key Scripture for his sermon was from the book of Romans Ch. 5, verses 1-5.
Paul tells us here that we are justified by our faith and we have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ. And we can boast in the hope of the glory of God. We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us as His children.

NBC POLL
Do you believe
that the word
God should
stay in
American
culture?
NBC this
morning had a
poll on this
question. They
had the
highest Number
of responses
that they have
ever had for
one of their
polls, and the
Percentage was
the same as
this:
86% to keep the
words, IN God
We Trust and
God in the
Pledge of
Allegiance
14% against
That is a
pretty
'commanding'
public
response.
I was asked to send
this on if I
agreed or delete
if I didn't...
Now it is your
turn. It is
said that 86% of
Americans
believe the
word God
should
stay.......
Therefore, I
have a very
hard time
understanding
why there is
such a mess
about having
'In God We
Trust' on our
money and
having God in
the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Why is the
world catering
to this 14%?
AMEN!
If you agree,
pass this on, if not,
simply delete.
In God We
Trust

Calhoun Baptist Church News, April 8, 2012 Easter Sunday~
Calhoun Baptist Church News, April 8, 2012 Easter Sunday~
Rev. Jordan Hodges, Pastor
Oh, what a glorious day to be in the house of God! We are children of a Living Savior!
Brother Jordan welcomed a Sanctuary full of Worshipers this morning! A lot of them had been in attendance for the wonderful Easter Breakfast at 8:30 A.M. It was wonderfully prepared by the men in our Brotherhood, with Brother Jim Bilbruck being the Chief Cook! The children had a wonderful time finding hundreds of Easter Eggs on the front lawn. Oh what joy the children are as they seek out everyone of them! It is our prayer that they seek the ways of the Lord as fervently as they are growing up in Christ believing families.
We were blessed with Special Music by Miss Victoria Barrow who played an Easter Special on the piano! We all enjoyed it very much!
All of the G.A. Girls have been making a Paper Chain during the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. The girls were planning on putting a message of thankfulness on each link of the chain. The goal this year is $200.00. We now need only $78.50 to reach our goal. That is a lot of links with one for each 10 cents offered. There were so many links that it would have been entirely too difficult to put a message on each link of the chain. The GA. Leader, Sister Heather Hollinger assisted them with bringing the chain all though out the Sanctuary while G.A. Leader, Sister Shonda Self read the long list of many things the girls are thankful for on this special day remembering the Resurrected Lord Jesus.
Brother Jordan’s message today was about how God wants us to be perfect. You will find Gods Standard for us to live by in the book of Matthew Ch.5, with verse 48 being the Key Scripture this morning.
Matthew 5:48 (NIV)
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
It says to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. He knew that we could not meet His standard of living, so He sent His Son Jesus, the only person that was perfect to be our Sacrificial Lamb. He took our place on the cross that we may have everlasting life, when we have a Personal Relationship with Him.

Palm Sunday~

Christian apologetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Biblical motivation
Several biblical passages have historically motivated Christian apologetics.
R.C. Sproul, quoting the First Epistle of Peter (3:15), writes that "The defense of the faith is not a luxury or intellectual vanity. It is a task appointed by God that you should be able to give a reason for the hope that is in you as you bear witness before the world."[3] The verse quoted here reads in full: "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."
Another passage sometimes used as a Biblical basis for Christian apologetics is God's entreaty in the Book of Isaiah: "Come now, let us reason together" (1:18).[4][5]
Other scriptural passages which have been taken as a basis for Christian apologetics include Psalm 19, which begins "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands," and Romans 1:20, which reads "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."[6]
