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.

Rise Up For Our Lord

5/4/2016

 
The Preacher's Pledge
I will make the Bible my primary resource in sermon preparation and preaching.
I may use other resources such as commentaries and web sites to enhance, not replace, my personal interaction with Scripture.
As I study I will strive to accurately understand and honestly apply God's Word, allowing Him to uniquely proclaim His truth in a relevant way through me.
...
This is also relevant to the Body of Christ. Instead of sermon preparation, substitute witnessing and Discipleship. When it comes to the use of other materials to enhance the Word while accurately professing and applying your faith in order to plant seeds; our lives are the source materials so they will not just hear but see Christ in us.
The BIBLE is our main source of information for living a Godly Life. It is the Word of God which means it is truth. These days some people are perverting the Word to satisfy their own agendas. It has been used to start race wars, grant assurance of salvation to the guilty who boast by openly living in their sin without penance, and glorifying their humanity instead of relying on God.

Brothers and Sisters, it is time to put a stop to this madness because of the persecution that will come if we let it continue. Church, we need to guide and empower the youth to stay in the faith, not ignoring them once they are in the world and under it's influence. Are we not given this responsibility by growing in Christ, much less it is spelled out numerous times in Scripture that we must take the youth under our wing and teach the Word, follow up and keep them in It. Many Christians are failing in this thanks to the influence of society.
I think we know some of the influences today. The exploitation of the human body to sell products,  acceptance of proven mental disorders (gender dysphoria) as being a norm in society. The government's involvement in the destruction of the ordinance of marriage. Acceptable boasting in sins. The worst is the misinterpretation of Jesus fulfilling the law not abolishing it in the thinking that all Mosaic Laws are now cancelled. He fulfilled the rituals, sacrifices, and festivals, that's it. HE gave us a new commandment of Love with the condition, our neighbor as ourselves.
Brothers and Sisters, Stand with me in God's WORD, the Truth. Do not let it falter. Live a Christ like life so those around you see Him in you. Be safe and God Bless
