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.

THE DISCIPLINE IN DARKNESS & TRIAL BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN BIRDS

Mar 30, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE DISCIPLINE IN DARKNESS & TRIAL BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN BIRDS.

“Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; and the turtle dove, the swift, and the swallow observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.” Her. 8:7, NKJV.

God’s ways are not our ways (Isa. 55:8). There were more birds, both clean and unclean, that entered the typical ark of safety and were saved then there were of the long-lived yet wicked antediluvians. Yes indeed! More dumb animals saved that those made in the image and likeness of the Creator! Truth, most of the time really stranger than fiction, i.e., to those who believe fiction not the truth. We cannot love and serve both and be saved like the dumb birds. It is either or the other, God or the mammon of fear, unbelief, doubt and love of the world and the things of the world.
