ONE NATION UNDER GOD

This week our nation celebrated the strength of our republic, a new administration. We do not celebrate a political party or a political person.  We celebrate America, and the creative genius of our “Founding Fathers”!

The “ELECTORAL COLLEGE” system gives protection to the rural population centers and preserves the importance of every state in the union.  This insures citizen representative votes for us in the Chamber of Congress, to unite the people with the power of the Constitution.

Our Nation’s architects designed a great nation, built on prayer and Christian principles.  We must have the Word of God and the Constitution for our Nation’s foundation.

As we pray for our families, our church and our community we MUST PRAY for America.

Psalm 33:12, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;

Proverbs 14:34, Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

A new administration is to be prayed for we are to pray for those who rule over us.  We need to be united in our faith and in our prayers.

Our prayer should be for the statement of our pledge to become reality… “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”

You are loved and prayed for,

Winter Revival

As you may have heard, Dr. Tim Lee and Connie will not be able to be with us this week for revival.  Their sixteen year old granddaughter (Ally Hooten) was killed in an ATV accident over last weekend and her funeral was on Friday.

The church voted Wednesday night to go ahead and honor Dr. Lee and his family with a love gift.  We received an offering and mailed a check for $    on Thursday.  I want to thank you church family for your generous and compassionate heart.

Revival is not in the sermon notes of an evangelist.  Revival is in my personal relationship with God!  One of the first steps on the road to revival is obedience to our Lord.  Three questions that can be helpful in that journey are:

  1. Is there anything God wants me to start doing?
  2. Is there anything God wants me to stop doing?
  3. Is there any reason not to do what God wants?

Revival is your and God doing a personal audit of your spiritual life.  Let us seek Him together in the spirit of revival!  II Chronicles 7:14

School on Sunday

We are excited today to introduce our new Bible Study, “Build Below the Baseline.”  This study will be provided for all ages beginning at the third grade in our church family.

With all the members of our families studying the same subject, we can talk about God’s Word together.  This will be a tool to help us grow spiritually as a church and as people of the Book.

Think about this – God gives each of us 168 hours every week.  That means you have 8,736 hours to use every year!

If you attend Sunday School (Bible Study on Sunday mornings) every Sunday, that would only be 52 hours per year.  That leaves 8,684 hours to live for ourselves.

If I gave a tithe of my time, if I said, “Lord, you have given me another year to live; I want to give 10% back in service to you!”  That would only be 868 hours given to the Lord each year.

Think about this, if I go to Sunday School and all three church services every week, that would only be 208 hours per year.  OUCH!  That is a long way from 868 hours as a “time tithe”.

The truth of the matter is, God has every hour of every day!  We love Jesus and we live for Him each and every day.

Let’s make an effort to step-up in 2017 and be faithful to Sunday School.

Happy New Year again!

You are loved,

Happy New Year!

Praise the Lord, we made it!  We have arrived in another year. Hello 2017!

A new year is often associated with starting over.  A new tax year, a new year of medical or dental deductions, a New Year’s resolution or a new diet for a New Year.

As Bible believers we rejoice in the arrival of the New Year, knowing it is a gift from God.  It is proof of God’s mercy and grace, the mile-marker – 2017!

In America, this year will be one of great change.  A new president is to be inaugurated on January 20th.  There will be new ambassadors to the United Nations, China, Russia, and Israel.  All these are among the news for 2017.

The challenge we face as Christians and as a church is to have a new walk with the Lord.  Our prayer, our plan and our push is to be more like Jesus each day in this New Year.

Every revival in a city or a country started in a church or a family first.  Every revival that burned in a church or a community found a heart of faith in some believer.

Let’s pray together for 2017 to be the year of revival.  Oh Lord, may it begin in my heart!

Don’t forget our revival begins Saturday night, January 14th as the men of our church meet for a meal, to spend time with our Evangelist, Tim Lee, and to pray together.

Revival services will start on Sunday, January 15th.

Happy New Year!

You are loved,

Pastor and Muzette

Christmas Day

We gather at Christmas time to remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season and to share a smile and a greeting of Merry Christmas.

We decorate our yards with Christmas lights and mangers telling His Story.

We celebrate in our homes with family and friends.  We work together to decorate the Christmas tree or to find the Christmas star to the top the tree.

Some gather in the kitchen for last minute dishes or just to sample all the wonderful Christmas goodies.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year!  We remember the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Because Jesus came and became the Light of the World, we remember others.

It is not about us!  It is all about Him and His words for us to love one another.  That caring and sharing is the joy of Christmas.

Sunday, December 25, 2016 we had the special blessing of being in church on His birthday.  What a wonderful time to be in church with our friends, our families, and Jesus on Christmas Day!

Muzette and I want to thank you for the beautiful Christmas cards, goodies, gift cards and food.  You have blessed our lives.  We thank you so very much!

You are loved,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
