Dear Bob:
In particular, this year has served to take mankind's eyes off the Lord, to an extraordinary degree. Lady Di's death, Hong Kong turnover to China, and subsequent market crash. Looking to the prophetic Armagaddon, what country is capable of fielding a 200 million man army, except China. Saddam Hussien up to his old tricks, there is a lot of fear out there, chemical, nuclear, biological warfare, terrorism ect.
Issue the clarion call, ring out in a symphony of truth, the Lord's return is soon. Christians everywhere, Heaven is on high alert, waiting for our call to action, fill up your oil lamps, have your bag packed. BUT, stay the course, no need to panic, keep a steady pace, run the race to win, pace yourself. Run to win.
Bob, forgive me today I AM PUMPED !! Our church pulled in 900 people for our Christmas program and cantata the last two nights. Seven years ago we had 60 members. My 6 year old daughter asked the Lord into her heart, she didn't even tell us until the next day. I found out a lady I had witnessed to for about three years accepted the Lord. Another young fellow that changed my oil the other day at the Quick Lube, came to the cantata last night. I had tipped him $5.00 and invited him, he brought his three daughters and wife and said they were going to start attending church regularly at Maranatha. Praise God,use your wealth for God's glory that was the best $5.00 tip I ever left.
Happy Holidays !! Thanks for your wonderful posts. I have enjoyed them and you so very much...In Christ.gregor |
