I was blessed to serve as a Circuit preacher at FBC in Reserve for nearly 8 years. I am so very thankful that Sheldon Wolf answered the call of God and is now the full-time Pastor of the Church! PTL! At FBC in Reserve and at FBC in Glenwood and Magdalena, the congregations get salt and light, the entire Word of God. Too many Churches of all denominations are much like a high school pep rally, you will not find that in Reserve, Glenwood, or Magdalena. I have been super blessed to preach at all three Churches and I am best friends with them all. Sheldon in Reserve, Pastor David Schumm in Glenwood and Pastor Paul Holt in Magdalena. You will find the love and care of Jesus for sure at those Churches. The Pastors care for you, they prepare you for heaven. They will hold you accountable to God’s Word in love. I miss these three Churches and the Pastors very much! Love you all!
The America Church as a whole is having trouble, many have put the salt on the shelf and replaced it with the candy dish! I HAVE PREACHED FOR YEARS MUCH OF THR CHURCH HAS FALIED TO CARRY OUT THE GREAT COMMISSION! THE GREAT COMMISSION IS NOT A SUGGESTION, IT IS A COMMAND BY OUR LORD! WE ARE PAYING A DEEP PRICE FOR THE FAILURE OF NOT CARRYING OUT THIS COMMAND!
As my very Dear Brother in Christ, Mike Jackson told me two weeks ago, “We (The Church) are losing aren’t we.” Mike said it as a statement not a question.
That statement by Mike, such a dear man of God, set me back…….I did not speak for a bit…but Mike is right, we are losing in the SHORT TERM, but JESUS WINS IN THE END! People have a choice Heaven or Hell. Heaven is a prepared place! Are you prepared for Heaven?
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. Matthew 5:13
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
The Southern Baptist Convention is having trouble…….
There seems to be as much politics as economics in the SBC task force conclusions. It notes that in recent years, the fear of a “liberal” drift in the denomination has led some churches to leave the SBC or to withhold giving. Part of that dissatisfaction is aimed at the ERLC, and particularly at the Rev. Russell Moore, who has led the ERLC since 2013.
Politics and Economics Invade the Southern Baptist Convention
From Joni Eareckson Tada:
Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that he might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commandments. |
