Raised from the Dead

President Who?

'The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.'
Proverbs 16:33

The outcome of the Super Bowl, every card game played in Vegas, every lottery, and even our Presidential elections do not take God by surprise.
He knows - and even determines - the outcome of every event.

Let's look at Proverbs 16:33 in several different translations:

'We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.' (NLT)

'The dice are thrown, but the LORD determines every outcome.' (God's Word)

'Make your motions and cast your votes, but God has the final say.' (The Message)

'The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly of the Lord [even the events that seem accidental are really ordered by Him].' (AMP)

So basically, we can live our lives to their fullest, knowing God controls the outcome of every event put into play.



Have your enemies risen up against you? Circumstances wearing you down? It ain't over until God says it's over.

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time

Many families were tremendously blessed this past Sunday at our 2007 Christmas Banquet and Toy Giveaway.

Thank you, members of Life Center of Brandon for making it a success.

We also would like to thank the Brandon, FL Wal-Mart on Causeway Blvd for giving us the opportunity to collect toy donations from its customers during the month of December.

If you happened to be one of the many who made a donation toward our toy drive this year, we pray the Lord will bless you for your generosity!

Marriage is not Football

Baseball, football, hockey...

There are many competitive sports in the world. Marriage is not one of them.


Ephesians 528-31

So husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself.

No one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds and takes care of it, as Christ takes care of the church.

We are parts of his body.

That's why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will be one.
