And to the congregation of Bethel Baptist Church and David Laverty and family for suppoting us on the day of the funeral. <br /><br />Those who didn't know my father-in-law Alfie, he was a fun-loving man, kind, and also a very caring and loving man, who would do anyone a good turn, although his last months were not good he asked the Lord to forgive him and accepted Jesus as His Saviour and was a saved man before his appointed time. Praise the Lord for his tender love and mercy.....Amen<br /><br />Alfie was my friend and as far as i'm concerned my father, i will miss you for your time and always good advice when i was troubled, you will always be in our hearts and minds. Until we meet again across that great divide God bless you big fella....Amensteve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-34153767126649133112007-09-25T06:59:00.000-07:002007-09-25T07:09:50.028-07:00Needing Your PrayersHi everyone sorry i havent been blogging for a while, however both Pat and I need your prayers at this moment due to the sad loss of Pat's father Alfie Moore.

Procter, all i've found out so far is that she wrote this and a gentleman by the name of Arthur S. Sullivan wrote the music to it in 1876. If any of you could give me further information would you let me know please.<br /><br />The Lost Chord<br /><br />Seated one day at the organ, i was weary and ill at ease,<br />And my fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys;<br />I know not what i was playing, Or what i was dreaming then,<br />But i struck one chord of music,<br />Like the sound of a great Amen,<br />Like the sound of a great Amen.<br /><br />It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel's psalm,<br />And it lay on my fevered spirit, With a touch of infinite calm,<br />It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife,<br />It seemed the harmonious echo from our discordant life,<br />It linked all the perplexed meanings into one perfect peace,<br />And trembled away into silence, As if it were loth to cease;<br />I have sought but i seek it vainly, That one lost chord devine,<br />Which came from the soul of the organ, And entered into mine.<br /><br />It may be that death's bright angel will speak in that chord again;<br />It may be that only in Heaven i shall hear that great Amen.<br />It may be that death's bright angel will speak in that chord again;<br />It may be that only in Heaven i shall hear that great Amen.steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-79582444137236044542007-07-21T07:46:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:14:57.593-08:00The Last Service<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRZwe4v50qaaxb7Kr2wHXRAcdyKS-AqgaCjiJ5x-WTedhsiMefOnArPLWRUP_5gCj35LqH6yDpewzpV1wkcO598ZZHV2B3ysPTkVtJUeMsL_slFbCDzkJYxdLGLsqjH5UsAN354SWhazw/s1600-h/IM000144.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089661765015888034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRZwe4v50qaaxb7Kr2wHXRAcdyKS-AqgaCjiJ5x-WTedhsiMefOnArPLWRUP_5gCj35LqH6yDpewzpV1wkcO598ZZHV2B3ysPTkVtJUeMsL_slFbCDzkJYxdLGLsqjH5UsAN354SWhazw/s320/IM000144.JPG" border="0" /></a><strong> Pastor mark closing the last service at the Calger for another year, looking forward to next year God willing, that is unless the rapture comes before then (even better).

The people of Derry recieved thousands of tracks during the week, (praise God) and the weather most days was great, i'm sure that we are all praying for souls to be saved through the messages that were given out. <br /><br /><strong>God bless you all and keep you safe until the next appointed time....Amen!</strong>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-19188654992647474742007-07-13T07:46:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:14:58.265-08:00Tell Me Who This Is and Which One<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKM0PfIs8RoDv0iaea90Z8sWKZ2l5mNJWtm7FyeXTeJKKHKq8GCf2jaSqMrVT6zEQgn-xC2fdo1lB6bBA-gzytHWLdFyQUFa_QiE_AhnLcMX-mGUMhNEVJK2-53oukvxlOucxu-DG-LXY/s1600-h/Pat+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086693357642473346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKM0PfIs8RoDv0iaea90Z8sWKZ2l5mNJWtm7FyeXTeJKKHKq8GCf2jaSqMrVT6zEQgn-xC2fdo1lB6bBA-gzytHWLdFyQUFa_QiE_AhnLcMX-mGUMhNEVJK2-53oukvxlOucxu-DG-LXY/s320/Pat+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">This should keep you thinking for a wee while, or are you as good as you think.<br /></span></strong><br /></div>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-68995913678805748352007-07-13T07:11:00.000-07:002007-07-13T07:41:12.510-07:00How Blessed We AreIf you have food in the refridgerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">you are richer than 75% of this world.</span></strong><br /><br />If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change in a dish, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.</span></strong><br /><br />If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.</span></strong><br /><br />If you have never experienced the danger of battle, loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong><br />If you attend a church meeting, without fear, harassment, arrest, torture or death, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">You are more blessed than three billion people in the world.</span></strong><br /><br />If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.</span></strong><br /><br />If you can hold someone's hand, hug him or her or touch him or her on the shoulder, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">If you can read this message, you just received a bouble blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.</span></strong>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-52434768549302653372007-07-13T07:00:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:14:58.490-08:00Well Hello Folks, Top o The Mornin Ta Ye<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUtQ1EXk6dGR8zTxqgixaSf2FPw8u9Yn147BeXoKNKOKqxqx8AnPP-XCO_8DnQYE4lEpXOrd7jPS20smDh_2x6fUmuHa8V9mOvBOP6ZH5v_i_kR6uUeDkkqg8YauDPBMXT2BPoWUMOgt4/s1600-h/DSC00042.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086681490647834482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUtQ1EXk6dGR8zTxqgixaSf2FPw8u9Yn147BeXoKNKOKqxqx8AnPP-XCO_8DnQYE4lEpXOrd7jPS20smDh_2x6fUmuHa8V9mOvBOP6ZH5v_i_kR6uUeDkkqg8YauDPBMXT2BPoWUMOgt4/s320/DSC00042.JPG" border="0" /></a><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"> Well would you Adam & Eve it!!!<br /></span></strong><br /></div>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-18476554005025616442007-06-17T04:38:00.000-07:002007-06-17T05:29:07.259-07:00Childish ThingsAs a child i played with childish things, and as i became a man i put aside my childish things. But as in all men we still like to behave like children. <br /><br />I suppose the same can be said of a lost sinner, as such we enjoyed being in the same company and not one thought of the consequences of our actions; concerning our souls or our eternity. Then you become a born again Christian and suddenly aware of the precious gifts the Lord as bestowed upon us, then we try to put aside our sinful nature. But because we are weak in the flesh, sometimes like a naughty child who still wants childish things we slip, but thanks be to God and the word of God and the Holy Spirit who convicts us when we step out of line we get right back on track. As a saved person through the precious blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ, i give glory and praise to my God for keeping me on the narrow path.....Amen!steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-4070029107023082292007-06-17T04:15:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:14:59.332-08:00Anniversary<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuBn35Fy5tjHTZ2LYm1q6UiqCWSp8kHi8fZxOGutnHanX84iLA1yKhzsPoMZKUMJP0IhkKyjZwsSXZBlPBGm75QVUBz-gtMUe3-iMucJtknXpJN6nEoXBWUzQOfNRjQHywZbDiniy21Wk/s1600-h/PIC00027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076993085831968418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuBn35Fy5tjHTZ2LYm1q6UiqCWSp8kHi8fZxOGutnHanX84iLA1yKhzsPoMZKUMJP0IhkKyjZwsSXZBlPBGm75QVUBz-gtMUe3-iMucJtknXpJN6nEoXBWUzQOfNRjQHywZbDiniy21Wk/s320/PIC00027.JPG" border="0" /></a> Solomon in all his splender can't compare with these roses, and the beauty of these roses can't compare to you my darling.

What is a testimony of faith? Well as i see it we as Christians (born again), through the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ should give it willingly as Jesus gave his for us. Each one of us has a different testimony of life, trajedy, love and our sinful ways in which we lived our lives; and when you stand in front of people who are saved or unsaved there is always someone who can relate to your life. The one thing in our testimonies we can all who are saved end our story with, and that is that we have Christ in our lives and the gift of eternal life through him that died for us at Calvary. <br /><br />Oh brethren, if Jesus or the Apostles had kept themselves quiet and did nothing, <strong>(Where would we be now) </strong>Jesus didn't keep quiet and as we are little Christs, surely we should speak out loud our testimonies of faith. <strong>You never know who through your story might bring them to know the Lord as we do......Amen.</strong>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-9751638435114073322007-06-01T08:58:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:14:59.778-08:00Count Your Blessings<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh6dTYQeG2wnPOVges8PGW2K_5esR-U5UcfJ1_R2S9yg10i4xSCP7ExL08NczpzoRMBVao9-8w35_lXwH2boKVcOAvzO9_t50Nq4zScbFSeA-KsvXDQcnAq335CYiq5Wk9pnwji2Ar-CE/s1600-h/Img0033.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071126552599034002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh6dTYQeG2wnPOVges8PGW2K_5esR-U5UcfJ1_R2S9yg10i4xSCP7ExL08NczpzoRMBVao9-8w35_lXwH2boKVcOAvzO9_t50Nq4zScbFSeA-KsvXDQcnAq335CYiq5Wk9pnwji2Ar-CE/s320/Img0033.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is Pat's son Colin and daughter Lorna, on Lorna's knee we have Thomas and Caira.

And a thought came to me, satan's traps along the way are like this web, unseen until we walk right into them; temptations take on many forms and sometimes we would be vulnerable to fall into the traps. Anyway as i wiped the web from me it reminded me to neither look to the left or the right, but to keep my eyes upon the cross and to trust only on the Lord Jesus Christ and his promise to be with us always even to the end of the world.<br /><br />As a bible believing Christian i give thanks and glory to my God for His word and my salvation through His son our Lord Jesus Christ for being my saviour and protector in times when the devil tries to trap us. As we know Satan tried to tempt our Lord in the desert with many things at a time when the devil thought Jesus was weak and vulnerable, and that seems to be when he attacks us as Christians; but like Jesus we can turn these attacks into victories for the Lord by saying get thee hence in the name of our Lord Jesus.....<strong>Amen.</strong><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>The saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Though shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt though serve.

Eventually i get there and as my eyes become adjusted, i see more and make my way back to the comfort of my bed.<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. John 1 verse 4</strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong>And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1 verse 5</strong></div><br />As sinners without knowing Christ we fumbled through the darkness searching for the light, and as you go along you trip and fall sometimes. Then suddenly you find the light-switch and there is light, everything becomes clearer and as you grow in the faith the light gets brighter and we become more confident and stronger for the Lord.<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8 verse 12</strong></div><br />Until the time that you repent of our sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart you will not see the light, you will be stumbling through life not knowing where you are going or when or were you will fall. Turn to Jesus let him wash you clean with his blood and gain salvation, for in Jesus is life eternal with God.....<strong>Amen</strong>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-38943895641209211562007-04-20T08:46:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:15:01.690-08:00A day out at Port Rush<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Rgrv5DWmPjfPtqmOzTDyI8YSgJKa1yN1Zv56ISIqdzQZqkUcFrfGieHWjlP4Uv-ynrJvkaMaEpJY1-ftNCvfUklduWXkcgMiG_srzOvWoZloYx8VQ8Z3h-0OVulhN0iJ03T6Nt-wKJE/s1600-h/Picture+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055538124761977890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Rgrv5DWmPjfPtqmOzTDyI8YSgJKa1yN1Zv56ISIqdzQZqkUcFrfGieHWjlP4Uv-ynrJvkaMaEpJY1-ftNCvfUklduWXkcgMiG_srzOvWoZloYx8VQ8Z3h-0OVulhN0iJ03T6Nt-wKJE/s320/Picture+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong> These were took just outside Portrush last year.<br /></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU901UjZd0_KcXYPwik9ud641wzDzu6XUT1L1zfdr8Dd9NzaUrUukMssGc-njSP-lzxP_-l8IZoiCGtEScoJOO7kocL2O94wG4Ns3OPi-fFFAoP4WEPWupllHNf6IkV9_dTFFlrh0L3Q/s1600-h/Picture+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055538129056945202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU901UjZd0_KcXYPwik9ud641wzDzu6XUT1L1zfdr8Dd9NzaUrUukMssGc-njSP-lzxP_-l8IZoiCGtEScoJOO7kocL2O94wG4Ns3OPi-fFFAoP4WEPWupllHNf6IkV9_dTFFlrh0L3Q/s320/Picture+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Well look what i found on the beach it's a little JJ.</strong></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left">We all had a great time that day with the kids from Bethel, and of course those of us know who was the biggest kid who had the most fun was (tell me who that was), see if you know.<br /></div><div align="center"></div>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621720500109891247.post-27342712540127922952007-04-19T08:16:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:15:01.869-08:00A Birthday Tribute<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcWHvb_a7qwbzgRIb-owdUX49ZxZba9h04JzA4yjg-z2UataEGvurvtzf2C7147v2ynx4NhuFUPnsDcByTmfH79T7s7NdhcFctkb8gDp8BqGkcYcT6meFci2tu7YsnhxMy49qS35kPuBA/s1600-h/HOLIDAYS+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055173804161094674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcWHvb_a7qwbzgRIb-owdUX49ZxZba9h04JzA4yjg-z2UataEGvurvtzf2C7147v2ynx4NhuFUPnsDcByTmfH79T7s7NdhcFctkb8gDp8BqGkcYcT6meFci2tu7YsnhxMy49qS35kPuBA/s320/HOLIDAYS+004.jpg" border="0" /></a> Well my love another birthday as been and gone, and you still look as young as when i first met you.

I have a special request to ask all bible-believing Christians, and that although i have prayed to Jesus for help i need your prayers as well. Please pray for me as i endevour to stop smoking, as my health as somewhat deteriated due to my own failing and weakness. So brethren it's with humility i ask you for help in prayer, may God bless you all and keep you safe....Amen<br /><div></div>steve's statementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15936812317453626478noreply@blogger.com3
