Month: December 2020

The hand of the Lord was upon me there, and He said to me, Get up
and go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you. So, I got up and
went out to the plain. The glory of the Lord was standing there, like
the glory I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown, (Ezekiel
3 22,23). When we truly let the glory of God shine through us it is
a very humbling experience. We pray to be so in tune with God
that His glory shines in us. Please pray for Terry, who has had
thyroid surgery.

Fellowship of Christian Farmers Kevin Cernek December 26, 2020   “Do Yourself A Favor”   As church attendance numbers fade across the nation and online services become very convenient, it’s important to remember why church attendance for you and your family matters so much.   You can’t serve from your sofa. You can’t have community […]

Amid all of the Covid-19 concerns of this past year, natural disasters still happen, and the Fellowship of Christian Farmers is there to help farmers recover from hurricanes, tornados, floods, wildfires, and other disasters, large and small. This year brought massive tornados in Tennessee and Alabama, hurricanes to Louisiana and Alabama, a derecho storm to Iowa, along with many smaller storms. A big thank you to FCFI Board Member CP Foster for hauling a truckload of hay to Louisiana!

Fellowship of Christian Farmers December 20, 2020   “Red and Green”   I have a couple of red tractors in my shed. I used to have a green one too, but I sold it a few years ago. I sold it, well, because it had a reputation for not starting. (My dad always said: “I […]

“Merry Christmas!”

A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas.

The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing. Since they had a lot to do, she called his phone. “Where are you?” she asked. “You know we have lots to do.”

He replied, “Do you remember the jewelers we went to about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace. I couldn’t afford it at the time, and I said that one day I would get it for you?”

Little tears started to well up in her eyes and she got all choked up. “Yes, I do remember that shop,” she replied.

“Well, I’m in the video game store next to that.”

Christmas is weird. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?
Ten things Jesus never said: 1. You’ve gone too far to be saved. 2. I’m so disappointed in you. 3. This wouldn’t be happening if you were a better Christian. 4. There are some people you don’t need to love. 5. Everyone should believe and act the way you do. 6. It’s all up to you. 7. There are some people you don’t have to forgive. 8. You’ve missed My will for your life. 9. I’ve given up on you. 10. This is a cross you must bear alone.

So, as the Holy Spirit says, Today, if you hear His voice do not harden
your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the
desert, (Hebrews 3:7,8). It is easy for us to look at the Israelites of
the Old Testament and see they were a rebellious and stiff -necked
people – it is harder to admit we have not changed much through
the years. We pray to not set ourselves against God. Please pray
for our country.

I used to own a 1965 International Harvester Scout. Back in the day IHC  not only made tractors and farm equipment but they also made SUV’s. The Scout was one of the original SUV’s. I picked my Scout up as an exchange for working for a farmer. It was a red two door, with a removable top. It had a three speed transmission and four cylinder motor.

The farmer used it around his farm for chores and such. By the time it caught my eye, it had seen it’s better day. I asked him if he was interested in selling it. He said no, but he might trade it for me working for him. That seemed like a good deal, so I went to work in the promise of getting an old, rusted out, beat up vehicle. But I was happy with the deal. If I recall correctly, I worked for him for about two months until my payday. He said the Scout was worth about 300 bucks and I had worked long enough to earn it.
