The Most Dangerous Place In the World


He that is not with me is against me....

Luke 11:23


Jesus said he that is not with me is against me and he that gathereth not scattereth. Is there any place in this world that can be more dangerous than standing against Jesus? There is no middle ground in our journey of life. If we are not for Christ, the Bible says we are against Him.


The possibility of being against him is a frightening thought. Without Him we can do nothing and there is no way to escape facing Jesus. The Psalmist said in Psalm 139:8, If I ascend up to heaven, thou art there and if I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there.” Throughout all eternity, memory will haunt those who reject Jesus.


Matthew 25 outlines the tragedy of neglecting Jesus and the blessings of walking with Jesus.


The evidence of being against Jesus is revealed in one’s opposition to His word, to His work, and to the wooing of His Spirit. Surely the most dangerous place in the world is standing against Jesus and the greatest position to be enjoyed in this world is to stand with Jesus. We then can say with the song-writer, “Jesus is all the world to me.”

We must live for Jesus here if we expect to live with Jesus hereafter.

Please do not neglect so great salvation.


Coming Events


March 17th - Sonshine Club - 11:30 AM


Sonshine Club


The special guests for our February Sonshine Club were the four candidates for Mayor of Salisbury, Gary Comegys, Jim Ireton, Bob Caldwall and Mike Della Penna. We had a total attendance of 74 with a wonderful time of fellowship. Plans are in the making for a St. Patrick’s day dinner of ham, cabbage, potatoes, macaroni & cheese with special desserts for our March meeting. Let’s make March 17th a special day.


Something to Crow About


Our attendance promotion for the 10:45 AM service from February 1st through Easter Sunday on April 12th has a number of people making perfect attendance so far. The “Go Getters” and the “Movers and Shakers” captains need to be kept encouraged by everyone taking part on both teams. Mrs. Barbara Ilczuk and Mrs Barbara Robertson are leaders for the “Go Getters” and Mrs. Linda Price and Mrs Lois Hart are the leaders for the “Movers and Shakers”.


Have you had any visitors yet? ??


Food For Thought


Sometimes the Lord calms the storms and other times He lets the storms rage and calm’s His child.

It is not the greatness of your faith that moves mountains, but your faith in the greatness of God.

A smile is a curve that can set a lot of things straight.

Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred and the waste of energy.

We can only see a little of the great ocean of life as we stand on it’s rocky shore. But out there beyond the eye’s horizon, there’s more..


We can only see a little of God’s loving kindness.. A few rich treasures from God’s mighty store.

But out there beyond the eye’s horizon, there’s more..

much more.


Holy Humor


My bachelor neighbor sneaked up behind an older woman, covered her eyes with his hands, and said, “I’m going to kiss you if you can’t tell me who I am in three guesses.”


She quickly answered, “George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln.”

An eight-year-old boy wrote a composition about his father:


He can climb the highest mountain or swim the biggest ocean. He can fly the fastest plane and fight the strongest tiger. My father can do anything. But most of the time he just carries out the garbage!”
