(A Good Land) Deuteronomy 1:25, God’s will is always best, but it lies on the other side of faith. It is not enough to know God’s will in our heads; we must step out and experience it in life. We cannot enjoy the good land if our unbelief keeps us planted firmly where we are. David Smith, Patterson, GA
Over the past week I was at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Wichita, Kansas followed by First Baptist Church in Chelsea, Oklahoma.
God blessed in both places as we saw a total of 92 decisions made for our Lord. Fifty two of these were professions of faith and 40 were re-dedications.
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. I Praise God That The Holy Spirit Convicted and I Praise Him For The Peoples Obedience!
Boy, my mom could hold a grudge. You didn’t want to get on her bad side.
Of course when she was that way she didn’t know Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.
We as Christians are to be a forgiving lot. We’re not to walk around holding grudges.
You see, we are to forgive others in the same way God has forgiven us, and as you well know when He forgives He forgets.
Ephesians 4:32, “And be ye kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.”
(Deny Self) Mark 8:34-35, You cannot follow Jesus if you have not first taken up your cross and given up the right to your life. You will never be able to pick up your cross if you remain self-center rather than God-centered.
David Smith, Patterson, GA
(Reward for Obedience) Leviticus 26:3&4, God will reward you for your obedience. Obedience is a tangible demonstration of love for God. His reward are expressions of His love in return. David Smith, Patterson, GA
The church and the world have become horribly mixed.
There has been real integration between men in the church and men in the world.
They live, act, and think very much alike in these days and time and that is a crying shame!
How can you tell which is which? Scripture says you will know them by the fruits they produce!
When you get to heaven,
You will likely view,
Many folk there
Who’ll be a shock to you.
But don’t act surprised,
Or even show a care,
For they might be shocked
To see you there.
Today I’m reading the parable of the Sower Sowing The Seed!
The sower in this day and time is us and the seed is the Word of God.
We are to give the Word of God to this one, that one, and another one.
Some will accept it and some will not!
We must remember, our business is to sow the seed, although not everyone will receive it!
Last Wednesday I was at Oak Grove Baptist Church in Hugo, OK. They were having a conference there and I was with the kids.
During the invitation 35 children made a decision for our Lord!
On Saturday and Sunday of the same week I was at FBC, in Antlers, OK with Pastor Aaron Reed.
On Saturday night I did an Upwards Ceremony Program and Sunday I got the privilege to preach for Brother Aaron.
Between both meetings 75 people made some type of decision for our Lord and many of those were salvations.
I’m here to tell ya, if this doesn’t light your shucks, your wood is most definitely wet.
I thank you for your prayers. Be blessed y’all!
I’ve been told that 70 percent of people sitting on our churches pews are lost as a goose in a hell storm! They think they’ve been saved but they’re not!
A person can quit doing many things but that want make them a Christian!
Reformation isn’t what a person needs, a person needs regeneration!
Reformation means death and destruction. Regeneration means life and liberty.
You see, the Devil owns many of our church members today and they don’t even realize it.
The Bible says we need to examine ourselves to see if we’re in the faith!
Do you truly know Jesus?
