TIME TO TALK!

After hearing Andy preach on the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus from Ephesians chapter 1, I am struck by how little we know of all that is ours. It is a real fight to pursue God. We do head in the direction of worthless things when we already have in our Savior the most worthy of all. So the question to all that were there to hear the message, and to those that were not, ;

How do you live so that your life is about what is worthy? What do you do to maintain the pursuit of God in the midst of a world that screams that everything and everyone else is more worthy and pleasurable than God? The discussion of sleep brought out a good point. Sleep is a good thing, God says He gives the righteous sleep, but as Andy pointed out, sleep can also be an idol that keeps me from God.

So I am interested to hear, and feel it will be beneficial to us all to hear how it is that you live and maintain a life that does not end up focused on the unworthy.

JOIN US SATURDAY!

As we head into this Saturday's meeting at the Holland Congregational Church in Holland Ma. (directions at www.hollandchurch.com)lets be ready to hear and interact with the Word of God. In today's climate of degradation of the Word of God, there is never a greater pleasure than to hear and respond to His Word. Let us be sure to pray for Andy as he brings the message from the Word.

When you have people like Rob Bell being embraced by the Church, you begin to realize that we are in a time that is desperate for men who will stand in the pulpit and unashamedly proclaim the Word of God. Bell in one of his recent sold out appearances made the point that we have no moral authority to speak on homosexuality unless we have homosexual friends. I deal with this in more detail at my blog at www.engagingyourworld.com, at the 2/20 blog. His statement is a clear exposure of his low view of the Word of God. This is why Young Reformers Fellowship is critical. We need young and old to be encouraged to carry on the mission of preaching and teaching Gods Word, regardless of what pop Christianity has to say about it. The Apostle Paul instructed Timothy to preach the Word in season and out of season. We are presently heading towards a time that is out of season, amazingly in the Church.

So lets look forward with great anticipation to Saturdays meeting. For us it will be time that is "in season". May that always be said of us !
