Encouraging Words from the Pastor's Pen

Well we have been a very busy little church this year, and as I look at what we have coming up it doesn’t look like we are slowing down any…

 

We have received conformation that our offer on the land at Blue Lick and Jeffie has been accepted (praise the Lord)… Now the fun of planning and building a church, God be with us…

 

We are still growing the Lord is adding to the church seemingly every month… As well as having many visitors looking for a home church, or just checking out why they keep hearing about our church…

 

Unity is starting on its 15th year as a church this month, and we look forward to the lord continuing to bless us…

 

I don’t want to leave anyone out and actually this is good advice for anyone, but my main focus this month is the youth… It is that time of year again; yes those dreaded words you all hate to hear BACK TO SCHOOL! With this comes the challenge of fitting in or feeling left out, so I want to remind you to be true to your convictions… Don’t look to change your belief and fellowship with God for any reason… Remember who you are and who you represent, for every decision you make today will follow you for the rest of your life…

 

1We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.   2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)  3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:  4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 11O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 13Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.    2 Corinthians: 1-18

And remember no matter what anyone tells you … You are very special and God loves you…

May God bless you and keep you is our prayer…
