We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The person characterized by a foolish heart has a propensity to make an idol of escape, pleasure, self-sufficiency, or self-gratification. They may find themselves constantly in the pursuit of certain feelings, objects or the accumulation of things. This person may find themselves making conscious and/or unconscious statements like “I want it now!” or “I just can’t help myself!” The person who chooses to not deal with a foolish heart may be characterized by consuming addictions, blame-shifting, irresponsibility, and self-destruction. Others might comment that their actions and attitude are cavalier, irresponsible, lazy, selfish or immature.

The church is that assembly of people who belong to the Lord, who are gathered together for Him. The gospel of Jesus Christ calls individuals out of the world of sin and death and into eternal light and life; it takes people who were no people and turns them into a special people for God (1 Peter 2:9-10). That’s what the church is. It’s the assembly of people living under the rule of Jesus and committed to each other in the faith.

FOR SUPPORT IN SICKNESS

O Father of mercies, the God of peace and
comfort, of rest and pardon, grant me, Thy
servant, patience in my sickness, comfort in
my sorrows, and restore me to health, if it
seem good unto Thee. But if it be Thy will
to call me hence, receive my soul into Thine
everlasting rest; or if it be Thy will to spare
me, give me grace to amend my life, to the
glory of Thy name: through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
