Greeting FB Family and Friends
The Lord be praised for another day on this journey we call life. I woke up this morning to the news that another senseless act of violence took place last night at a music festival in Las Vegas, NV. At least 50 people are dead and 400 wounded as a gunman open fire on a crowd of people who had gathered to enjoy the music.
The bible tells us that before God destroyed the world with a flood the earth was full of violence. The Presidents of the US and N. Korea are threatening violence against the other’s country. Armed conflicts and terrorist attacks are taking place in many parts of the world. Nation is rising up against nation. God is sitting on His throne and watching what is happening here on earth. Most people don’t bother worshipping God and many of the ones that do are not doing so in spirit and in truth. Many are honoring God with their lips but their hearts are far from Him.
Yesterday’s message was entitled “Counting the Righteous”. God would have spared the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if there were at least 10 righteous people in the city. The pool of righteousness that has been preserving the world is beginning to dry up. As the righteous die there are not enough others coming on to take their place which is causing the pool to shrink. Make no mistake about it, 2 Peter 2:9 says “the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment”. Read again Psalm 1. Let’s meditate on the law of the Lord and resolve in our heart to do that which is pleasing in His sight. God knows the righteous, but the unrighteous shall perish.
The Fall Festival turned out nicely. On behalf of the Church, I want to say “thank you” to everyone who participated and help make it possible. The Men’s Breakfast will feature a special guest from the Sheriff’s Department so men let’s encourage one another to be there at 8:30 am. The Advisory Council will meet tonight at 6:30 pm. Finally, don’t wait until the last minute to secure your tickets to the Pastor’s Appreciation Banquet. You can get them from Dea. Collins or from Sis. Eddy. Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for joining me and until we meet again
Blessings and Peace
Pastor Jordan
