Comments on: YOU GAVE!!!!!! http://blog.whitleychurch.com/2008/10/06/you-gave/ What's on the Pastor's mind Wed, 05 May 2010 10:46:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: joseph hackett http://blog.whitleychurch.com/2008/10/06/you-gave/comment-page-1/#comment-17 joseph hackett Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:41:56 +0000 http://blog.whitleychurch.com/?p=12#comment-17 i would like to reminded people when we gave and give, god says he will bless you more than you gave... some may think that is through money; however, there are some things greater than money. this is how God has blessed our family, on oct 11th, my mother went into the hospital and was immediately admitted to icu. it was touch and go there for out mother. on oct 14th, the dr's called the family and told us. it could be anytime. i immediately prayed for my mother and called the church to notify the prayer team while i was enroute to be at my mothers bed side. Pastor Jimmy was notified and came to the hospital to be with us during our time of need. When we arrived at the hospital, we were prepared to see her hooked up to all the machines to sustain her life. However, what our family and Pastor Jimmy saw instead was my mother sitting up in the bed, eating and talking to the medical staff. Praise God for all his glory, mercy and wisdom. just remember, there are somethings in this life worth more than money. God knows what we need at the time proper time we need whatever this might be at the time we need it. We then had prayer for my mother there in the hospital and asked for God's unconditional love, mercy, wisdom and gave thanks for all he does. i would like to reminded people when we gave and give, god says he will bless you more than you gave… some may think that is through money; however, there are some things greater than money. this is how God has blessed our family, on oct 11th, my mother went into the hospital and was immediately admitted to icu. it was touch and go there for out mother. on oct 14th, the dr’s called the family and told us. it could be anytime. i immediately prayed for my mother and called the church to notify the prayer team while i was enroute to be at my mothers bed side.

I preached my tithing/giving message at Whitley about 20 years ago! Can't I take SOME credit for this?! (That's a JOKE!!!) I LOVE Whitley Church and I am so glad I recently found Pastor Ferrell on Facebook. I have great memories and fond thoughts of my times ministering at Whitley Church. PRAISE GOD FOR THIS GREAT GIVING HEART that Whitely has. I rejoice with you across the miles! Keep glorifying our Great Lord and advancing the Kingdom! Great is your reward! Scott N. Smith Hey!

That is AWESOME!!! I am sooo proud of our people for obeying God! I KNOW how pleased He is! See? We are listening with our hearts! Thank you so much for your patience and faithfulness in bringing us the uncompromised Word -- even when it isn't popular -- like about tithing! God is ready to burst Whitley wide open and I'm so glad that we have the privilege of being part of it! Blessings and Love, John and Stephanie Hey Pastor! That is AWESOME!!!
