Nothing But The Water Part 1 lyrics
I have seen what man can do
When the evil lives inside of you
Many are the weak
And the strong are few
But with the water
We'll start anew
Well, won't you take me down to the levy
Take me down to the stream
Take my down to the water,
we're gonna wash our souls clean
Take me down to the river,
Take me down to the lake,
Yes, we'll all go together,
We're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
I have fallen so many times
For the devil's sweet, cunning rhymes
And this old world
Has brought me pain
But there's hope
For me again
Well, won't you take me down to the levy,
Take me down to the stream,
Take my down to the water,
We're gonna wash our souls clean,
Take me down to the river,
Take me down to the lake,
Yes, we'll all go together,
We're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
Tried my hand at the bible,
Tried my hand at prayer,
But now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare,
But now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare
When the evil lives inside of you
Many are the weak
And the strong are few
But with the water
We'll start anew
Well, won't you take me down to the levy
Take me down to the stream
Take my down to the water,
we're gonna wash our souls clean
Take me down to the river,
Take me down to the lake,
Yes, we'll all go together,
We're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
I have fallen so many times
For the devil's sweet, cunning rhymes
And this old world
Has brought me pain
But there's hope
For me again
Well, won't you take me down to the levy,
Take me down to the stream,
Take my down to the water,
We're gonna wash our souls clean,
Take me down to the river,
Take me down to the lake,
Yes, we'll all go together,
We're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
Tried my hand at the bible,
Tried my hand at prayer,
But now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare,
But now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare

IYM Quakers
Session One
The Heart of Quakerism
Doug Shoemaker came to Hinkle Creek last night and spoke to us about having a personal relationship with God. I would encourage everyone to come next Wednesday evening for part two of this series. There were also people from Westfield Friends in attendance. We had a very nice turn out. Doug is a talented speaker and this lecture series he's developed is very well thought out and thoroughly prepared. Instead of preaching, Doug speaks to you. He is very kind, gentle, intelligent and thoughtful. He spoke about the heart of Quakerism which is a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Doug encouraged us to pray for the church that it might become a religious movement instead of just an institution. Afterwards we had fellowship in the basement. Bev brought several delicious home baked goods and iced tea and Bob brought some glazed Donuts from Longs Bakery in Indianapolis. The session lasted one hour and was very interesting, informative and enjoyable. Having Doug come to Hinkle and spend time with us is such a blessing. I just want to make sure that everyone who can takes advantage of this incredible opportunity. Even if you cannot attend all of the sessions it would be worth it to try to make it to at least one or two. It's a chance to meet Doug and a chance to spend time learning about Quakerism and Christianity. For me it was so nice the hear the heart of the Superintendent of IYM. He is a man of faith who loves and is good at what he does. He gave his life to Christ at the age of six years old, his calling is clear and he is the kind of person who will inspire and motivate you.

Adrian Rogers
He came the first time to die; He is coming again to raise the dead. When He came the first time, they questioned whether He was King; the next time the world will know that He is King of kings and Lord of lords. The first time He wore a crown of thorns; the next time He will be wearing a crown of glory. The first time He came in poverty; the next time He is coming in power. The first time He had an escort of angels; the next time He will come with ten thousands of His saints. The first time He came in meekness; He is coming again in majesty.

Adrian Rogers quotes
- Just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense.
- Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
- If Satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.
- Sin is not just breaking God’s laws; it is breaking His heart.
- We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.
- Has it ever occurred to you that nothing occurs to God?
- It’s what you sow that multiplies, not what you keep in the barn.
- If you have a Bible that’s falling apart, you’ll have a life that’s not.
- I wouldn’t trust the best fifteen minutes I ever lived to get me into heaven.
- God grades on the Cross not on the curve.
Babbie Mason quote (Gospel singer)
Well, I am a messenger of the Gospel and I make no bones about that. I know that the love of Jesus Christ works; it changes lives. A relationship with Jesus makes all the difference in one’s life. Once I discovered who I am in Christ and the purpose that He has for me, I have never been happier or more fulfilled in my life. It may sound like a pat answer, but it’s true. Jesus loves you, in spite of yourself, and He has a great plan for your life if you will just go on a treasure hunt to find it. The Bible says that we will find Him if we search for Him with all of our hearts. So I’ve been on that pursuit and it’s been a great journey. I know that I have just scratched the surface of His plan for me, and it’s pretty exciting right now. So, I encourage people to fall more deeply, more intimately, more madly, more passionately, in love with Jesus, and to search to be on a hot pursuit to find God’s plan for their lives. www.babbie.com

REMINDER!
Just wanted to remind everyone that Doug Shoemaker will be speaking tomorrow evening at 6:30 at Hinkle and teaching us on Quakerism and Indiana Yearly Meeting. These sessions will go for the next few weeks each Wednesday evening. We are suspending the Bible Study during these Sessions. We have invited Westfield Friends to come and learn with us, so I am hoping we will have a good turn-out for this important teaching. I plan to record the sessions for those of you who are unable to attend. Please come and support Doug as he teaches us so we are all on the same page in this process.
Indiana Yearly Meeting
is a Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers. Indiana Yearly Meeting was established in 1821 and originally included all Friends west of the Scioto River, in Ohio, and Friends in Indiana and Illinois. The Yearly Meeting met for most of its history in Richmond, Indiana. For much of its history, Indiana Yearly Meeting was the largest Quaker yearly meeting in the world. It "set off," or established Western Yearly Meeting, at Plainfield, Indiana, in 1858, Iowa Yearly Meeting, at Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1863, Kansas Yearly Meeting (now Evangelical Friends Church Midwest Yearly Meeting), at Lawrence, Kansas, in 1872, and Wilmington Yearly Meeting, at Wilmington, Ohio, in 1891.
Indiana Yearly Meeting established the school that became Earlham College in 1847, White's Institute, first a home for Indians, then an orphanage, and later a home for delinquent youths, in 1850, Quaker Haven Camp in 1926, and Friends Fellowship Community, a retirement home in Richmond, Indiana, in 1964.
While many Quaker yearly meetings have suffered serious divisions in their history, Indiana Yearly Meeting has suffered no serious fractures and only three minor divisions in its history. In the nineteenth century, this gave the yearly meeting a reputation for being both moderate and evangelical. As such, it was Indiana Yearly Meeting that led the call for more centralization among Orthodox Gurneyite Friends, leading to the calling of the Friends Conference of 1887 and the Richmond Declaration.
Indiana Yearly Meeting's membership has been in a downward trend since the 1910s, but average attendance has remained steady. Currently, Indiana Yearly Meeting is the only North American yearly meeting in Friends United Meeting in which reported average attendance at worship exceeds membership. Indiana Yearly Meeting remains one of the key financial supporters of Friends United Meeting. The membership consists of about 4,000 persons in about sixty congregations.
