Friend & Family Day Success

Due to Three Reasons

Oh yeah! I’m ready to call it a success. Why?

First of all, the presence of Friends and Family were quite obvious. They came in big numbers on Sunday and they continued to come in good numbers for our Gospel Meeting on Monday-Wednesday. We were blessed with friends from area congregations as well as some from the community.

Secondly, it was successful because the Word of God was preached at each service, addressing a theme we particularly needed. Revival! The cultural flip-flop of morality – calling good evil and evil good (Isa. 5:20) – has made it harder to stand up for Jesus, to talk about His divinity, to speak from the Bible, to present the ‘faith once delivered unto the saints’ (Jude 1:3), to “speak the truth in love’ (Eph. 4:15) to a generation who is constantly being told that there is no such thing as truth. God’s Recipe for Revival (2 Chron. 7:14), Someone Who Needed Revival (Lk.15), Revival in the Home (Eph. 5), Revival in Worship (Neh. 8) and When Jesus Comes (Jn. 14; Re. 22:20) were uplifting lessons reminding us of the truth of God’s love, sacrifice, and desire that we should live with Him in eternity.

ARE YOU READY?

Sometimes a good thing will seem to happen by accident. But most of the time it takes planning, desire and dedication. Such is the case concerning the matter at hand in this article.

October 11 is our Friend & Family Day and will be followed October 12-14 by a series of lessons (see titles elsewhere) to teach and encourage church members. Our elders made plans for this day several years ago.

What plans have you made? Have you been praying for an opportunity to reach out to others? Are you excited at the prospect of lessons that rekindle the spiritual fire needed to overcome our daily struggles? Have you asked others to come with you?

The world in which we live is Satan’s voice of confusion. He wants nothing more than to keep us distracted and disoriented. This is a fine time for a message of clarity from the word of God.

I’ll be looking for you.
