Building Relationships Through God's Love

We welcome July with a repentant heart. There are things happening in this world that are changing the way we see normal. Places are opening with restrictions. Some people are realizing what foolishness is happening.  God is winning battles. Even though it looks like we have certain major losses, God is winning. We are in an amazing time and the world will never be the same again.

​Scripture of the Week: Job 38:4-18   
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
    Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
    Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
    or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
    and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors
    when it burst out from the womb,
9 when I made clouds its garment
    and thick darkness its swaddling band,
10 and prescribed limits for it
    and set bars and doors,
11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
    and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
    and caused the dawn to know its place,
13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
    and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14 It is changed like clay under the seal,
    and its features stand out like a garment.
15 From the wicked their light is withheld,
    and their uplifted arm is broken.

16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
    or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
    or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
    Declare, if you know all this.

Just a quick thought

9/29/2016

 
These days are getting rougher and rougher do deal with. Friends, as we enter into the next era for this country with decisions on who will be the new figure head there are some things we need to consider. Scripture informs us that God wants us to obey those in authority over us because He has plans for us. We may not like it but in the case coming up this November we need to remember that the new leader is just a figurehead who should make right and proper decisions for the good of the people and not their own selfish desires. The issues that come into his or her hands should not be concerning the needs of the one or two but for the safety of  our country and our way of life.
Our ultimate leader is God. He has already given us His standards of living and those are what we should abide by. When God's law is overruled by man's decisions we must not sit idly by and let it happen which is what many have done. God tells us to love one another just as He has loved us so what does that mean? Do we give in to their whims of fancy? No. Do we tell them it is okay to sin? No. Our love to our neighbor is one of loyalty and trust, a sharing of God's Word in His loving kindness. A humble leaning to listen while they open up in their pain. It is sharing in the joy of childbirth and being the shoulder for when someone dies. It is Caring, Sharing, Helping, Chiding.
​When we do our civic duty and vote we must choose wisely even with the knowledge that this government is ran by the person who could raise enough funds to buy the electorates. We need to reach into the heart of the electoral college (through prayer) that they make the decision based on merit and not the idol of money. Stay strong in faith and love. God will guide us.

​May Jesus come soon and provide for us the Way as it was in the time He walked the earth with Adam. Pray for discernment that our leaders will rely on faith and not false idols.
God's Grace and Mercy be with you all,
​ Pastor Rob
