Greeting FB Family and Friends
Today is another day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Yesterday I was so glad to see those of you who were present. It’s a blessing to be able to come to the House of the Lord while we still have the chance. So many can’t come because of one reason or another. And the day may come when we can’t come any longer. But while we could, we came.
The Young Adults sang well yesterday and many were uplifted by the songs that were sung. I also understand they had a fruitful discussion yesterday during BTU on the topic of “Insecurity” from a Christian perspective. It is my hope that more may join them going forward as they discuss topics important and meaningful to them. I hope everyone going to the Pastor Appreciation Banquet has secured their seats. If not, please do so by this Sunday, the 29th.
The 90th birthday celebration for Bro. H. Jordan was well attended with a good mixture of family, friends and fellow church members. We are now blessed to have three members who have reached the 90th milestone and one more poised to join in November. What a blessing that all of them still have their right mind and are still able to get around. May we all live to be so blessed. Now for a few final thoughts from yesterday’s message “Righteous Credit”.
When our teachers gave us an “S” or “U” in elementary school, it was based on the work we did or failed to do in class. If the work was to the teacher’s satisfaction, an “S” was given, otherwise we received a “U”. Righteousness is the only thing that will allow us to stand in the presence of Almighty God. And Righteousness can’t be earned, it can only be granted or credited by God. Instead of classwork, God will make His judgement to award “Righteous Credit” based entirely on our faith and belief in Him. And faith is demonstrated through how we bring Glory to God in living a life that brings God honor and glory.
This is what Abraham did and what the children of Abraham do, they show God that they believe Him through the life they live. And when Abraham did this and if we do it, God will impute, give, credit us an “S” or Righteousness based upon our faith in Him. Righteousness is required to enter the kingdom of God. If we can think of any reason or reasons why God would consider our faith “unsatisfactory”, now is the time to make the adjustment while we still can. All of us must give an account to God. Let’s strive to make sure we have “Righteous Credit” as part of our account. Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for joining me and until we meet again
Blessings and Peace
Pastor Jordan
