Carpenter’s Tools - Nothing’s Too Hard For God!. . .
By Pastor Wallace Phillips - July 27th, 2007Impossible? The Scriptures remind us that with men some things are impossible, but with God all things are possible! Faith is the key that unlocks doors. I am blessed…absolutely blessed to know Eric Earhart. He is just one story among many of those who were deemed impossible. Many thought that this robust character who grew up in a home without any influence of Christ would never be set free from the chains that bound him to a life of hatred and violence. But God!!!
That’s right! God who is rich in mercy knew Eric before he was a thought. And the pages of his life unfold to a beautiful story of forgiveness. You can see it for yourself. Go to the website…..www.nothingstoohardforGod.org and you can see his story among others whose lives are proclaim “nothing…nothing….nothing is too hard for our God!”
In August Carpenter’s Shop Church will feature this campaign in a series of meetings. Eric Earhart will kick off the event on Sunday morning, August 26th at 10:00 AM. Mark your calendar….invite your friends….bring the lost. Why? Because nothing is too hard for our God! Jesus reigns!Please visit us on the web at http://www.cscministries.com/ or http://www.wallacephillips.org/

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Governor's Mansion in Raleigh. One from Charlotte, another from Winston-Salem and the third, Raleigh. They go with an official of the Governor's staff to examine the fence.
The Charlotte contractor takes out a tape measure and does some Measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Winston-Salem contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Raleigh contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the official of the Governor's staff and whispers, "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Raleigh contractor whispers back, "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Winston-Salem to fix the fence."
"Done!" replies the official.

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created.
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the cause was, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don''t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice.
The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."
Carpenter’s Tools - All Dressed Up and . . . . .
By Pastor Wallace Phillips – July 13th, 2007
You’ve heard it I’m quite sure - “All dressed up and no place to go”. That’s the title I’m using for my second book, scheduled to be available in the Fall of 2007. It chronicles some headline stories of actual things that are keeping people from the house of the Lord today. Racial prejudice, socio-economic pressure, and even health issues keep people from an active and vibrant experience of corporate worship. They’re dressed in spirit, but lack the openness of the local church to be fulfilled in that awesome corporate design that God’s stamp of approval is upon. He said, “Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together…” in the Book of Hebrews.
Some are not welcome in the local gathering because of race. Some are not welcome in the worship setting because they don’t rate with the rest in the house in terms of finance. Others cannot find a place of worship that will minister to God’s special people who find themselves mentally challenged. They are dressed and ready to go, but can they find an open place of worship where their needs are met?
I’m concerned about the church at large today. She’s not the open institution that God wants her to be. We are open……. with conditions. Many churches snub their nose at folk because they are of another race. Many are turned away because they don’t meet the criteria of dress or presentation. Many would love to enter the church, but know the church cannot handle their physical or emotional condition.
All dressed up and no place to go…..it’s a book…..coming your way…..in the Fall.

Jet-setting Pop Stars No Problem
For Live Earth Fans

Live Earth organiser Al Gore, former US vice president turned green campaigner, answered criticism of Live Earth's stars in British newspaper The Independent on Saturday.
"We are in a transition time in history when the only way we can get to where we need to be is by starting from where we are," he said.
What? Has anyone ever said anything more inane? Where is the sarcasm of the MSM? Where is the putdown that would surely have rocked the planet if George Bush said something this dumb? Can you say double standard?
Al Gore is still the king of the idiots.

Happy Birthday America

French Writer and politician Alexis de Tocqueville noted over a century ago:
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in the fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good – and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
As we continually witness the constant struggles of many countries, and with due respect to our allies and enemies, the United States of America is still the most successful country.
God bless America.
