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.
Thirdly, it was a great success because people listened, humbled their hearts, and found that grace and comfort by which to edify themselves and others (1 Ths.5:11).
Bill
Ok this is another trial reply. I agree that the Gospel meeting was a success. I hope the enthusiasm carries over.
