Dear Family of our =
Lord Jesus Christ,

God Bless you and y=
ours!

Today we are going to continue to talk about, ther=
e is no 
such thing as luck, it’s all about God and being a fruit tr=
ee for the Kingdom! The 
challen=
ge
 to all =
of us is, are we producing 
fruit for God? What will your obituary say? 

Our Teaching on “There is no luck, it’s al=
l about God”, has created good 
=
discussions
 for God’s Glory Alone! There are certain =
Godly principles that God has impressed upon me to stress, and this is one =
of them. Here is a note from Rick, a Vietnam Vet……….

Dewey,

WOW – Never really thought about it – =
– – I always considered my survival in Vietnam ‘luck’ – – – Sure wasn’t, wa=
s it !!!   Only wish I fully understood why he kept me here ? Jus=
t to wait till I found him again or does he have something else in mind…&=
nbsp;  Re-Devoted again; (but maybe still a little confused) !?!?!

I thank=
GOD daily I have the two of you in my lives !!!

rick

Thank you for your testimony Rick! I a=
m so thankful for you and all those that share here at the CUP! One of the =
greatest thrills here is the amount of people who make themselves vulnerabl=
e for God….and share HIS works, HIS greatness! 

Here is a reply from Karen Rowe…………

 Cuz God gave us purpose as long as we have breath in ou=
r body … and when we have completed our job in Jesus’ name then God will =
say, well done my good and faithful servant. The Lord will lead and guide u=
s always through our pains and difficulties; and along side another who als=
o has a need. My love and prayers also join for Rick and thankful he surviv=
ed such a horrible time for such a beautiful purpose for God…I know this =
by faith. We’re not home yet, we’ve got a job to do and a life to live in C=
hrist…until we finally make it home …Love in Christ, Karen

Thank you f=
or sharing Karen!

Bearing fruit for the Kingdom! I wrote the foll=
owing column for the Windom, Minnesota newspaper this week…………Pleas=
e read on because this will show you exactly what I have been Pre=
aching and Teaching on…………

What I am=
about to share with you is one of the reasons Windom
remains a=
special place for me.
It is whe=
re my Godly foundation was built.
People so=
wed seeds into my life.
In John 1=
5:8, Jesus says, =E2=80=9CThis is to my
Father=E2=
=80=99s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing
yourselve=
s to be my disciples.=E2=80=9D
Bearing g=
ood fruit, let us all be fruit trees!
I attende=
d American Lutheran Church
when I li=
ved in Windom. My Sunday School
teachers =
were Orville Fredrickson, Irene Hartberg
and Evere=
tt Stevens. I still have a booklet
that Iren=
e gave me when I graduated form
Windom Ar=
ea High School in 1974.
As many o=
f you know, Irene was very
special. =
Irene=E2=80=99s love of people carried over
into the =
lessons she taught us in Sunday
School.

Orville F=
redrickson was the butcher at the old Fair Store in Windom.
He was a =
quiet man, but carried himself in a Godly manner. He treated
all custo=
mers with the love of Jesus and had a quite strength about him.
Everett S=
tevens left a strong foundation with me. What I remember
about Eve=
rett from Sunday School was that he always wore a dress
suit, whi=
te shirt and tie. He told me that he always dressed that way in
the house=
of the Lord to show respect. Orville dressed the same way.
The Lord =
teaches us to bear good fruit for the Kingdom, for the glory
of God. T=
he seeds sowed into my life by Irene, Orville and Everett are
bearing f=
ruit these days as a pastor for God=E2=80=99s Glory Alone Ministries.
They set =
a Godly example for me =E2=80=94 in Sunday School, in their families
and at th=
eir occupations.
Be a frui=
t tree for God. Sow seeds into the lives of others. Irene,
Orville, =
and Everett did that for me years ago in Windom, they had
an effect=
on me that has stayed with me my whole life, for which I am
eternally=
grateful.
And you k=
now what? Many other people in Windom did the same!
Be fruit =
trees for the kingdom!

So, you see the seeds that were planted in me by m=

en I could go on and on of all the others who have done the same! This emai=

April for Easter because my Dad pa=

etired of a heart attack. I will never forget that Pastor Zeh came to visit=
Mom early that morning and brought Mom an Easter Lilly and as they talked=
into the morning and the sun came up the Easter Lilly opened up! Only God.=

Jesus’ Death  – 60 seconds to un=
derstand 

60 seconds with God… 

For the  next 60 seconds, 

set aside whatever you’re doing and 

take this  opportunity! 

THE  (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS  

At the  age of 33, Jesus was c=
ondemned to the death penalty. 

At the  time crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst crimina=
ls were  condemned to be crucified. Jesus was to be nailed to the cros=
s by His  hands and feet. 

      =
      

Each  nail was 6 to 8 inches l=
ong. 

The nails were driven into His  wrist. 

Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. 

There’s a  tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. 

The Roman guards  knew that when the nails 

were being hammered into the wrist,  

that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus 

to use His  back muscles to support himself 

so that He could breathe.  

Both of His feet were nailed together. 

Thus He was forced  to support Himself on the single nail 

that impaled His feet to the  cross. 

Jesus could not support himself with His legs 

because  of the pain, so He was forced to alternate

between arching His back  then using his legs just to continue to brea=
the. 

Imagine the  struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.

Jesus endured  this reality for over 3 hours. 

Yes, over 3 hours! 

Can you  imagine this kind of suffering? 

A few minutes before He died,  

Jesus stopped bleeding. 

He was simply pouring water from his  wounds. 

From common images, we see wounds to His hands  

and feet and even the spear wound to His side… 

But do we  realize His wounds were actually made in his body. 

A hammer  driving large nails through the wrist, 

the feet overlapped and an  even large nail 

hammered through the arches, 

then a Roman  guard piercing His side with a spear. 

But before the nails and the  spear, 

Jesus was whipped and beaten. 

The whipping was so  severe that it tore the flesh from His body.&nbsp=
;

The beating so  horrific that His face was torn 

and his beard ripped from His  face. 

The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. 

Most men  would not have survived this torture. 

He had no more blood to  bleed out, 

only water poured from His wounds. 

The human adult  body contains about 3.5 liters 

(just less than a gallon) of blood.  

Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; 

He had three  nails hammered into His members; 

a crown of thorns on His head  and, beyond that, 

a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His  chest. 

All these without mentioning the humiliation 

He  passed after carrying His own cross for almost  2=
  kilometers, 

while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones  

(the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, &nbsp=
;

where His hands were nailed). 

Jesus had to endure this  experience, 

so that we can have free access to God. 

So  that our sins could be “washed” away. 

All of them, with no  exception! 

JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US! 

He died  for us! It is easy to pass jokes 

and false witness statements by  e-mail, 

but when it comes to God, 

sometimes we feel ashamed to  forward to others 

because we are worried of what 

they may  think about us. 

60 seconds with God… 

For the next 60  seconds, set aside what you’re doing 

and take this opportunity!  

Take a  moment to appreciate the power of God 

in your life, for doing what  pleases Him. 

If you are not ashamed to do this, please,  

follow Jesus’ instructions He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33):  

“Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, 

I also  will acknowledge before My Father in heaven; 

but whosoever denies  Me before others, 

I also will deny before My Father in heaven.”  

Yes,  I love God. 

He is my source of life and my Savior. 

He keeps me  alive day and night. 

Without Him, I am nothing, but with  Him 

“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”  

Philippians 4:13. 

Send this to all those you  love.  

“Peace I  leave with you, my p=
eace I give unto you: not as the  

     world  giveth, give I unto you. Let =
not your heart be troubled,  

     neither let  it be afraid”..
