OUR MARCHING ORDERS: FORWARD AND UPWARD

September 28, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

OUR MARCHING ORDERS: FORWARD AND UPWARD

“Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward [not backward].”

Exo. 14:15, A.V.

In any journey, undertaking, enterprise or mission, failure to move forward is actually falling backward. In spiritual matters, it is backsliding. In nature, if a plant is not growing, it is dying.

“The history of the children of Israel is written for the instruction and admonition of all Christians. When the Israelites were overtaken by dangers and difficulties, and their way seemed hedged up [just like right now], THEIR FAITH [in God and in His word] FORSOOK THEM, and they murmured against the leader whom God had appointed for them.

HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY TRUST GOD?

April 3, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY TRUST GOD? 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from all evil. It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones.” Prov.3:5-8,NKJV.

If ever we needed health to our flesh and strength to our bones, it is now in the midst of this combined pandemic of a coronavirus + fear+ lack of trust. We forget, even as we like to say “God is in control,” that God uses divinely calibrated-and-controlled trials to test, develop and perfect our faith and trust in Him, not on our own understanding neither in finite institutions of men.
