OCTOBER 17th; LORD'S Day (Sunday); 2021.
THIS WEEK'S HYMN. “Revive Us Again” by Rev. Dr. William Mackay (1839-1885). The Hymn was written in 1863. Psalm 85.6 says: “Wilt Thou not revive us again: that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?”
THIS WEEK'S THANKSGIVING. I Timothy 2.1 says: “First of all, giving of thanks.” There are answers to Prayer to report this week. 1. Dr. Spence was called to return to another Care Facility this past week. Although it was sad to observe that several have passed away, yet it was a pleasure to be back. THE LORD was Graciously Present in this first Church Service. There were two new Residents who were specially glad to attend the Meeting. Although one of these Ladies is deaf, she sat close and caught the majority of the Sermon. 2. In Fact, in all the Care Facilities this past week, the Meetings went well. Many were attentive. 3. Several are back in their Personal Care Homes from the Hospital. 4. In one Care Facility, although certain Aides left their jobs, yet they did not yield their convictions in relation to the vaccine. They chose to walk. THE LORD go with them and take care of them! In the end, you do not suffer for doing the right thing. 5. A former Resident's Daughter kindly sent a Card and a Gift. We are grateful for those who see the importance of the work in the Care Facilities and assist as they are able. Psalm 105.1 says: “Give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His Name.”
THIS WEEK'S PRAYERLIST. These Prayer Requests have been made by different Residents and Staff in the Care Facilities. 1. A Lady in intense pain. Dr. Spence spent time with her last week. She spoke of Blessing received from the visit. It is refreshing to meet people who are able to really hear and take in from the Scripture right in the midst of pain. 2. A Lady who fell. 3. Those who are in the Hospital this week. 4. Those who are reading good books that are loaned from Dr. Spence's Library. 5. Several have requested Prayer. II Chronicles 5.14 says: “So the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.” *In the Thanksgiving and Prayerlist sections, the names of the people have been withheld to protect their privacy. Nevertheless, the Thanksgivings and Prayer Requests are real and actual.
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST. Please keep the dear Sick and Elderly in the Care Facilities in Prayer these days. There are lingering restrictions. This week many Care Facilities are presently on lockdown. Pray that former freedoms will soon be completely restored. GOD is able.
THIS WEEK'S COLPORTAGE REPORT. 1. Last week, besides Dr. Spence's visits in his weekly Care Facilities, on one of his days off, he conducted a Colportage Day among Care Facilities he does not visit. Yet on this day, because a visit was necessarily rescheduled among the Care Facilities, a Church Service took place during the hours of the Colportage. Nevertheless, although these were the peculiar circumstances, still 76 Printed Sermons were distributed in 8 Care Facilities in Templeton, Kittanning, Sarver, Butler, and Cranberry. The reception was warm with gratitude. 2. An extra effort is presently underway to get Dr. Spence's Printed Sermons in as many Care Facilities as possible. This quarter 2,000 copies are being carefully distributed by hand. All financial contributions toward this endeavor are gratefully received. 3. Would you read a King James Version Bible or a New Testament? We also have the Book of Psalms in Braille. These dear Books are gently used. They come in all sizes. Different Residents have given these Books to Dr. Spence during the past years. If you or someone you know would use one or two of these Books, please contact us. The Books and postage are free.
DID YOU KNOW? In the 1970s during the days of President Ford, the swine flu vaccine was immediately halted after 53 deaths. Today, in the United States alone, there are now more than 15,386 deaths directly related to the COVID vaccines. There have now been more than 726,963 adverse events from the vaccines. Among these, more than 20,789 are permanently disabled. There have been 2,122 miscarriages. Every one of these people has a story. According to the Center for International Development and a Harvard study, VAERS historically records less than 1% of the hard Facts! Therefore these statistics are very probably much higher. More people have died after receiving these injections than over the past 31 years from all vaccines combined. Yet many schools, corporations, airlines, and certain states march forward to mandate these injections. This is completely absurd! Objective Facts testify that it is a serious decision whether or not to get this vaccine. This decision ought to be left up to every individual. Here in Pennsylvania, the law allows for religious exemption. If you are being discriminated against, stand up for your rights. Good legal help is available. It is possible to prove “religious exemption.” Did you know in the early development of the COVID vaccines that all of them used fetal lines from aborted babies? Several Care Facility Residents have privately expressed their concern about the vaccines. Dr. Spence has encouraged them to hold fast and practice their convictions. I Corinthians 6.13 says: “The body is for the Lord.” I Corinthians 6.19 says: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?” I Corinthians 6.20 says: “Glorify God in your body.” I Corinthians 7.23 says: “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” In Exodus 7.16, GOD said by His Servant Moses: “Let My people go that they may serve Me.”
