The leading brothers need to learn how to carry a double yoke.  To earn living and labor in the word.

New Living Paraphrase - George Geftakys

================================

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find REST unto your souls.
For MY yoke is easy, and my burden is light

JESUS

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

I saw this on a church sign on the way to the prayer meeting tonight:

"Forbidden Fruits get you into a lot of jams."

Here's some more:

"Be ye fishers of men; you catch em, He'll clean em."

"Give the devil an inch, and he'll be a ruler."

Anyone else have some interesting church sign quotes?

DEAR LUKEROBINSONFAN:

Alright, may I ask who is so kindly using my name as their sign in?  That would be nice.  Thank you.

A Brother in Christ,

Luke Robinson

DEAR LUKE ROBINSON

You may. I am "so kindly," as you put it, using a concatenated form of your name as a PORTION of my sign in.  Please note that I am not technically using "your name," as you put it, as my sign in.  Please refer to the following equation for help in this matter:

For the following string variables:
X - "Your FIRST Name"
Y - "Your LAST Name"  
Z - "A Word"    
signin - "my sign in"
       
      signin = "X" + "Y" + "Z"

my sign looks like this: LUKEROBINSONFAN = "LUKE" + "ROBINSON" + "FAN"

in this case I chose "FAN" as my Z Variable.  In english fan may be used as a noun or a verb.  I chose to use it as a noun.

As a noun FAN may refer to one of the following:

1. An ardent devotee; an enthusiast. Short for fanatic.
2. A device for creating a current of air or a breeze, especially:
  A machine using an electric motor to rotate thin, rigid vanes in order to move air, as for cooling.
  A collapsible, usually wedge-shaped device made of a light material such as silk, paper, or plastic.
3. A machine for winnowing.
4. Something resembling an open fan in shape: a peacock's fan.

I used FAN in this case with definition number 1,  an ardent devotee.  I could have chosen to use the full word "fanatic".  That would have looked like this:

LUKEROBINSONFANATIC = "LUKE" + "ROBINSON" + "FANATIC"

In this case I did not want your name associated directly with the word "fanatic," because fanatic tends to have a negative connotation in our society.
Its' shortened form "fan," on the other hand is generally well received in most social circles, depending of course, on what you are a "fan" of.
For instance if you were a "fan" of Saddam Hussein, you would probably be castigated in some manner, even publicly shunned by family and friends.  However if you were a fan of Sideshow Bob, you would probably meet with general approval.

You can see of course by the singin equation I have carefully chosen, that I have wide latitude in the sign in names I could have created.

Some possible sign-in names I coud have chosen include, but are not limited to:
LUKEROBINSONBANKROBBER
LUKEROBINSONDRESS
LUKEROBINSONWONDERWOMAN
LUKEROBINSONMONKEY
LUKEROBINSONALKDLKJAOEIRJFKLJDLKJFOIEIOOSDJFLKJLKSFOIEUALALK
LUKEROBINSONSMURF
LUKEROBINSONPAPASMURF
LUKEROBINSONDUKESOFHAZARD
LUKEROBINSONSHORTPERSON

I hope this was helpful.

Thanks,

LUKEROBINSONFAN

"If anything is hated bitterly, it is the out-and-out gospel of the grace of God, especially if that hateful word "SOVEREIGNTY" is mentioned with it.

Dare to say "He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy, and he will have compassion on whom he will have compassion" [Romans 9:15], and furious critics will revile you without stint.

The modern religionist not only hates the doctrine of sovereign grace, but he raves & rages at the mention of it. He would sooner hear you blaspheme than preach election by the Father, atonement by the Son, or regeneration by the Spirit. If you want to see a man worked up till the Satanic is clearly uppermost, let some of the new divines hear you preach a free-grace sermon.

A gospel which is after men will be welcomed by men; but it needs a divine operation upon the heart and mind to make a man willing to receive into his inmost soul this distasteful gospel of the grace of God."

C.H. Spurgeon
