Greeting Members and Friends
And thanks for joining me on this Fine Points Monday. Well, attendance was fair yesterday and I was glad to see all of you, especially Mother Dumas and Papa Heath who represent the most senior members of the church. To see them active and engaged should inspire us to greater service and faith.
School is back in session for all children now. Let’s pray for them daily as they face the challenges imposed by an ever-growing godless secular society that devalues faith and promotes relativism. We had a wonderful contingency of people to go to Big Pineville AME Zion church on yesterday including several young adults. The food and fellowship was good as was the worship service. Dr. Brown preached an inspiring sermon about “One Thing I Know” that whereas I was blind, but now I see. I hope we continue to see more young adult involvement going forward.
Everyone should be thinking about who they want to invite to the Pastor’s 30th Year Anniversary. Try to get your seats early as I hope to see all of you there along with at least one guest. Now a few closing thoughts about the few who will and many who won’t be saved.
When we look at Jesus words in context, they came at the conclusion of the sermon on the mount. They serve as a warning to us not to be just hearers of His words, but doers. If we believe the bible, God destroyed the world before because of iniquity or wickedness. Everyone was lost, except eight persons. That was truly a few saved and many lost. How big of a difference will it be next time? I don’t know, but if the pass is any indication, I would not count on it being a large number of people.
We can’t do anything about how loved ones and others who are deceased. Their stories have been written, are in the books and they will be judged on that. Our stories are still being written along with those we know and love and we still have some control on how it will turn out. Let’s be careful, fear God and make pleasing Him the most important thing in our life. Don’t jeopardize our souls by allowing iniquity to lie at our doors. Well, enjoy the rest of the week. I hope to see some of you as we travel to the revivals this week. So, until then
Blessings
Pastor Jordan
