An elderly man was sitting quietly in his rocking chair speaking
softly to his grandson. “It took me
40 years,” he said, “to learn three
simple truths. I would like you to
learn them at an early age. One, I
could do nothing to be victorious
over my sins. Two, that God did
not expect me to. And three, that
Christ has done it all for me.”
David taught those three simple
truths centuries ago in one simple
verse, “Victory comes from You,
oh Lord.”
A story is told of a prisoner,
who with the help of his friends
planned an escape. Through careful planning they smuggled a
gun into the prison yard and hid
it. They informed him that a ladder would be up against the wall
where the searchlight would not
expose it. And they told him that a
vehicle would be awaiting him at a
certain hour.
“But,” he asked, “how do I get out
of my cell?” “That’s up to you,” they
said. Obviously, he did not escape.
He remained in his cell because he
could not take the first step.
But our Lord has taken the first
step in our salvation. He loved the
world so very much that He gave
His one and only Son to be our Savior. Now, we must do one of two
things: receive Him or reject Him.
Our Lord is a seeking Lord who
will save us from our sin through
His salvation. It does belong to
Him, but He willingly extends it to
all of us.

The Puffers return
to UMC for gospel
concert
The United Methodist Church of
Sun City Center welcomes back
southern gospel duo The Puffers,
Bob and Darleen Puffer, at 6:30
p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, in the church
sanctuary.
Bob Puffer spent 13 years in
country music, beginning his music career in the nightclub business where he made significant
progress toward a lucrative future
as a performer and songwriter. In
1977, Bob appeared on the national
television show HeeHaw. In 1980,
he made an appearance on the Joe
Franklin Show. He later contracted for a major concert where he
shared billing with the Oakridge
Boys. He was often interviewed as
an up-and-coming country music
personality. In September 1986,
(and after much prayerful consideration), the Lord led Bob to step
out on faith to enter the full-time
gospel music ministry. Bob plays
a multitude of instruments, including guitar, five-string banjo, violin, mandolin, dobro, Gretch (Chet
Atkins) guitar, ukulele and flute.
Darleen added a new dimension
to the music ministry with vocals,
keyboard, sax and clarinet.
Bob and Darleen currently travel
throughout the United States with
their music ministry, performing
between 150 and 200 concerts/services each year. Their music contains a variety of styles including
traditional gospel, southern gospel,
country, folk and many humorous
songs, which are often requested.
A donation of just $5 is requested at the door on the night of the
concert. The church is located at
1210 W. Del Webb Blvd. in Sun
City Center.
