Now this is a cool little plane!? From what I’ve read, it has a thrust-to-weight ratio of about 2.5:1.? The pilot here has some very impressive skills.

Wow, I don’t know much about this guy, but I like him already just from this clip.? Can we get him to come over here and tell Congress and Obama the same thing?? (Thanks for the link, Jo!)

See, helicopters are easy!

RC helicopters are incredibly easy to fly.? Even a 4-year-old can do it!

It’s a little embarassing that at four years old, this kid could fly better than me.? Now that he’s six and a half, he REALLY flies better than I do:

Diligently Seeking God

By Jason Garcia

Benchley, March 15, 2009

• Hebrews 11:6
• It is important for us to make sure we are diligently seeking God.
• In the original Greek, “diligently seeking” was one word.
• Looking at other uses of the same word:
  • Genesis 9:5?- “demand” or “require” is the same in Greek translation of the Old Testament
  • Exodus 18:15?- “inquire”
  • Deuteronomy 29: ?
  • Psalms 119:145,155?- “keep” and “seek”
  • Amos 5:5?- “seek”
  • Luke 11:47-51?- “required”
  • Acts 15:15-20?- “seek”
  • Romans 3:10-12?- “seeks”
  • Hebrews 12:14-17?- “sought it diligently”
  • I Peter 1:10-12?- “inquired and searched carefully”
• Can we say that we diligently seek God?

Christ’s Church

By Jesse Jenkins

March 15, 2009

• Ephesians 5:22-33
• Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28?- Christ promised to build His church and then purchased it with His own blood.
• Ephesians 4:5; I Corinthians 12:27?- There is one body.
• Ephesians 1:23; Colossians 1:18?- The body is the church.
• Therefore, there is one church that Christ built.
• Some claim that John the Baptist started the church.
  • If started before Christ’s death…
    • Acts 20:28?- It would be a church that was not blood purchased.
    • Ephesians 1:19-23?- It would be a church without a head.
    • I Corinthians 3:11; Acts 4:11-12?- It would be a church without a foundation.
    • Matthew 16:20; Luke 24:46-49?- It would be a church in which Christ could not be preached.
    • Ephesians 5:23?- It would be a church that Jesus does not save.
• The time, place, and who will lead one to the right place.
  • Time – Place – Who – What
  • 1530 – Germany – Luther – Lutheran
  • 1534 – England – Henry 8th – Episcopal
  • 1535 – Switzerland – Calvin – Presbyterian
  • 1607 – England – Smythe – Baptist
  • 1739 – England – Wesley – Methodist
  • 1830 – New York – Smith – Mormon
  • 1914 – Arkansas – Group – Assembly of God
  • 30-33 – Jerusalem – Christ – Christ’s church
• Which of the foregoing fits the facts?
  • Time – Isaiah 2:2-3; Joel 2:28-32; Daniel 2:44; Acts 2:1-17,41,47
  • Place – Isaiah 2:2-3; Isaiah 28:16; Zechariah 1:16; Acts 1:4; Acts 2
  • Who? – Matthew 16:13-19; Acts 20:28; I Corinthians 3:11
  • What? – Acts 20:28; I Corinthians 1:2; I Timothy 3:15
• Was this congregation started on Pentecost in Jerusalem?
  • No, but the teaching and practice of this congregation were.
  • The local Mormon church was not started in 1830 in New York, but its teaching and practice were.
  • To be a Mormon church, a local church must conform to the teachings of the Mormon church.
  • Just so to be a church of Christ, a local church must conform to the teaching that started on Pentecost in Jeruslem by Chirst.
• Jesus saves the church.
  • It took centuries for the old covenant to unfold it.
  • It took the Son of God, the life He lived, and the death He died to build it.
  • It took the Holy Spirit to reveal it.
  • It too the apostles to lay the foundation.
  • It takes faith in and obedience to their preaching to build on the unshakable foundation.
  • Why would one want to be a member of a church that was started at the wrong time, the wrong place, by the wrong man, and in which salvation is not promised?
