We Love God!

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

If you are a Christian, you can expect folks to criticize, but you ought to live so nobody will believe them.

It might be well if we stopped using the terms “victory” and “defeat” to describe our progress in holiness. Rather we should use the terms “obedience” and “disobedience.” When I say I am defeated by some sin, I am unconsciously slipping out from under my responsibility. I am saying something outside of me has defeated me. But when I say I am disobedient, that places the responsibility for my sin squarely on me. We may, in fact, be defeated, but the reason we are defeated is because we have chosen to disobey.

    Next Sunday No Excuse Sunday

    NEXT SUNDAY – NO EXCUSE SUNDAY

    A number of changes will soon take place in our church to accomidate all of those who think that they have valid reasons for staying away. Please note the following purposed list:

    A cot will be placed in the vestibule for those who say “Sunday is my only day to sleep in”.

    Murine will be available for those with tired eyes from watching T.V. too late on Saturday evening.

    Blankets will be furnished for those who think the church is too cold and fans for those who say it is too hot.

    We will have steel helmets for those who say “The roof would fall in if I come to church”.

    We will have hearing aids for those who think the pastor speaks too softly and cotton for those who think he preaches too loudly.

    Excedrin for those who have headaches which are always worse on Sunday morning.

    Some relatives for those who like to go visiting.

    100 T.V. dinners for those who can’t go to church and cook dinner too.

    A selection of trees and grass for those who like to see God in nature.

    A large tank of water surrounded by sand for those who like the sun and surf.

    Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who have never seen the sanctuary without them.

    Please let us know which of the above changes meet with your approvial since salvation alone is apparently not sufficient.
