We are often reminded in Scripture of how important it is to be familiar with the words of the Bible. I want to challenge you to take a few moments today and read through and pray over Psalm 119 as a way of encouraging your Bible study. In this Psalm, the psalmist speaks of the love that he has for the Word of God. It is a wonderful reminder to all of us of how “Blessed” we are when we “walk in the law of the LORD!” - (Psalm 119:1) I also would encourage you to consider this passage from the book How to Enjoy Your Bible by John Blanchard. “Surely we only have to be realistic and honest with ourselves to know how regularly we need to turn to the Bible. How often do we face problems, temptation, and pressure? Every day! Then, how often do we need instruction, guidance and greater encouragement? Every day! To catch all these felt needs up into an even greater issue, how often do we need to see God’s face, hear his voice, feel his touch, know his power? The answer to all these questions is the same: every day! As the American evangelist D.L. Moody put it, ‘A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week. We must draw upon God’s boundless store of grace from day to day as we need it.’” I pray that you are all blessed by God’s Word today! Love you all! Stephen

Dear Pastor Walker, staff, and congregation; We realize that we don’t know you person-ally to the extent we would like. Even so, as C.S. Lewis so beautifully says, “God uses situations in life to reveal the beauties of others.” While the value of a human life has been diminished and remains a divisible issue in today’s secular society, God has used it ‘at such a time as this’ to unite the hearts of many believers. Words cannot express what your friendship and faithfulness have meant to this ministry. We can only attempt to return your act of love by promising we will do everything in God’s will to support mothers and save lives. Thank you for placing your trust in us. Together in His service,

Woman’s Choice PRC Psalm 82:3-4 & Philippians 4:17
