Phillips
School of Theology http://www.itc.edu
Established
in 1944 on the campus of Lane College in Jackson, TN, Phillips School of
Theology was named for its benefactor, Senior Bishop Charles Henry Phillips.
In 1950, the General Conference of the Christian Methodist Episcopal
Church designated the seminary as a connectional school, entitling it to the
support of the denomination. In
1958, Phillips School of Theology, which is the only seminary of the CME church,
moved to Atlanta and became a founding constituent of The ITC.

Life
Text http://www.lifetext.net/pages/1/index.htm
LifeText
was originally developed as TeenText - a discussion guide for helping high
school youth (9th-12th grades) make the connection between Biblical text and
their lives and times. We began to hear more and more that the materials worked
for people of other ages as well, so as of January 2003 TeenText becomes
LifeText.
The interactive format facilitates individual understanding, ownership and
continued exploration beyond the classroom. The process lowers barriers and
invites connection by getting participants out of their heads and into their
hearts. Over time, it helps them view the Bible as a vital, dynamic, relevant
resource, one that can inform the whole of their lives

Monthly
Meditation Message
You
know, we need to understand God's holiness. For truly, only He is worthy to be
praised, and yet so
often
some of us act as if there's nothing special about God at all. There is no life
in our prayers, we
decide
to skip church, or ignore opportunities to share Christ with those around us.
Our actions
say,
no big deal. It is a big deal. God is the biggest deal of our lives. Everything
we do should exalt the
Lord
and show others just how important He is to us. Anytime we can experience the
holiness and
majesty
of the Lord, we should jump at the chance.
Nothing pleases God more. One thing we can do
to
please God, we can help feed His people in need.
PRAYER:
Father, You are so important to me. Help me to prove, through the living of my
life, how much
You
mean to me. Lord, inspire me with Your holiness, and let me worship You always.
Father
God,
I want to do what is right. Be my anchor and support, O Lord. When the day gets
roughest, help
me
to remember that I am firmly establish on Your Spirit and in Your love. Lord, if
I'm to be an example
of
what it means to follow Christ, than help me to be the best example I can be.
Guide me by Your
Spirit,
Father. Search my life, Dear Lord. Keep me walking in the light, and prevent me
from straying
into
darkness. Thank You Father, for this day. Dear Lord, bless those that' are in
hospitals, or
homes.
Lord, bless those in our prisons. Let Your light shine upon them, Father. Let
Your light shine
bright
on the path that leads to You O Lord, so those who are searching for You, may
find You.
Thank
You Father, for the love, and understanding.
In
Jesus’ name. Amen.
