Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle has been quite popular on YouTube and such lately. It really show that everyone is special and important to God. Check out this quote:

"The way we see Susan Boyle is very nearly the way God sees us: worthwhile, special, talented, unique, beautiful. The world generally looks askance at people like Susan Boyle, if it sees them at all. Without classic good looks, without work, without a spouse, living in a small town, people like Susan Boyle may not seem particularly "important." But God sees the real person, and understands the value of each individual's gifts: rich or poor, young or old, single or married, matron or movie star, lucky or unlucky in life. God knows us. And loves us."(http://www.americamagazine.org/blog/entry.cfm?blog_id=2&id=61474897-3048-741E-3739258670171854, "Susan Boyle and the Love of God," James Martin, S.J.)

How very true. God told the prophet Samuel when he was trying to find a king to not look at outward appearances:

"But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."(1 Samuel 16:7, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=9&chapter=16&verse=7&version=31&context=verse). God sees who we really are. Let us try to see all people through the eyes of God.

One Week to Easter

It is only one week to Easter! What Jesus did for us is so amazing! Next week, we will have two services at I.B.C. (9 A.M. and 11 A.M.). Check out the new look to the I.B.C. website (http://www.inspirationbiblechurch.com/). The media people at I.B.C. are amazing!

The next FireWire will be on Friday, April 10 at the I.B.C. annex building at 5:30 P.M. There will be free pizza! We will talk about the last words that Jesus spoke from the cross. There will be a Passover Celebration at 7 P.M. in the main building.

One Step at a Time

It is interesting how God takes us one step at a time through life. God leads us to certain places in our lives, and many times it is gradual. When we do have those "big steps," God gives us the strength that we need through it. He is always there.
