A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH

                                 A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH

                                       (For the local News Paper)

    During this Global pandemic many of us have been left disoriented, frustrated, and confused, but you can be sure that we are never helpless or without hope.

 While we are waiting on God there are things we should be diligently doing:

 - Keep your daily walk with Jesus Christ personal and fresh, and be fervent in prayer.

- Be consistent in your Bible reading and study.

- Live a life of faith and worship.

- Remember the call to holiness in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

- When and however you can, encourage one another daily while it is stilled called today.

- Do not engage in unnecessary squabbles. The Scripture says, “As much as lies within you, live peaceably with all men.

- Co-operate with the authorities where you are able. The Bible teaches, “Obey every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake.” As inconvenient and restrictive as these rules are, we must trust God for the outcome. If you feel a check in your spirit, do what you must, but keep a humble spirit.

- The Bible teaches us to pray for our leaders that we may live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness.

- Pastors, please make every effort to maintain contact with your people by whatever means you are able. People are getting discouraged. With most people, especially youth, do not expect them to come to you, you must somehow reach them.

- Let the Love of Jesus be in the forefront of all your efforts, and wait for the Lord with patient expectation.

- Take up your cross daily = not our will but His be done.

-Finally, to everyone, fear God and Keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

-
      “BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH CLOUDS, AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM”                                                     REVELATION 1:7 (I approach this topic of the Second Coming with caution for 2 reasons: 1 - it can be controversial, complicated, difficult to navigate without making too many assumptions, especially with the more details presented from using both the Scriptures and other possible sources. 2 - It seems some people take an almost fanatical and obsessive interest to the point where their assumptions lead themselves and others down strange and unhealthy paths, losing sight of the glorious and loving Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  My rendition i...

THAT YOUR LOVE MAY ABOUND

-
  THAT YOUR LOVE MAY ABOUND    “And this is my prayer: t hat your  love  may abound more and more  in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best , and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11   As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ we must at all times be cautious in our judgments and conclusions as we navigate through the challenges of this life. Look, when we see or hear things that offend, annoy, grieve, or anger us, we tend to draw conclusions and take avenues of thinking and behavior that build walls or strike out in opposition or defiance. Our judgments and conclusions will impact how we relate to and treat others, and in the light of these we can fall trap to the wiles of the devil and turn to hate, and in our minds and behavior make people our enemies. Religious, racial, and pol...
