3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Earnestly contend for the faith

1. Faith in God through Christ Jesus 14:1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1. Faithfulness to Christ And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

b) bible inspired word of God infallibility of scripture and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

Toccoa River

 

 Photograph I took of the Toccoa river near the Sandy Bottoms canoe launch site. The river is kind of low but still very pretty. This is a view where the old cable car used to be. In years past there was a steel cable strung across the river that had a little car that you could cross over with. The car was human powered and riders had to be careful not to run over their hands with the pulleys that the cable ran through. Presently the cable has been taken down and all that remains is the big concrete pillars the cable was attached to. What is known as Sandy Bottoms Canoe Launch now was known as the Cable Cars when I was young. Then as now it was a place to camp, gather and put tubes into the river to float to Shallowford  Bridge or farther down to the rapids.

Directions to Tilley Bend Cemetery

   









      If you are in the Blue Ridge area and want to visit the historic Tilley Bend Church and Cemetaryit is not too hard to find. Take Hwy 76 to Aska road which is at the far end of town past Pizza Hut. Turn right on Aska road and keep going to Shallowford Bridge which crosses the Toccoa River. Go left across Shallowford Bridge and keep going until the road forks, go left and Tilley Bend Church eillbe on your left not far from where you turn. People look for different things at church, I will share what I have found; a beautiful, rustic little church and cemetery tucked away in the mountains surrounding my hometown,  Blue Ridge, Ga. If you like old graveyards, old churches and riding through the mountains you will enjoy taking a jaunt up Aska road to Tilley Bend.
