Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of Peace shall be with you.” (Philippians 4:9)
Wow! COVID 19, and its lasting effects, have made one thing crystal clear, to me, and that is that we need some Divinely Inspired, Holy Ghost Changes in our Lives! Changes in our Society, Our Churches, and in our Daily Living! It is so very easy to “climb up on our soapbox” and declare to others what they should do or not do, while not doing anything about ourselves! I have a dear family member that enjoys saying, “Well, if I were you, I’d do it this way!” How easy it is to judge others, yet our lives are not reflections of our lofty instructions! Does Character Matter? Does the way that we live really matter? God’s word tells us that IT DOES MATTER! If we are to be effective witnesses for our Lord, then, YES, character matters! Things like “HONESTY, SEXUAL INTEGRITY, GENEROSITY, OPTIMISM, and HUMILITY IN SERVICE!” Why don’t we decide to be the change that we want to see! What a “Novel” approach! Wow! To be what God intends for us to be and to walk in the “Character” that He expects us to demonstrate! Friends, I am grateful for the past 2 years and all that it has forced me to come to terms with! God has used these difficult times to teach me and to guide me and to require of me, a deeper commitment, and a stronger response to, and for my Spiritual Growth! As I walk with Christ, I was to be a part of the change that is occurring and I want to be a witness for my Lord, to this lost and dying world! Friends, we have a responsibility to be a part of the change that is occurring, and we have a duty to honor His Word and to Live so that others WILL SEE JESUS IN US! I am going to continue to share JESUS, Preach His Word, Praying for my Neighbors, Lifting the Burdens of others and living my life as a Surrendered and Grateful Servant of our Living Lord, Jesus Christ! How about You? “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of Peace shall be with you.” (Philippians 4:9) Remember: WHAT GOD DOES WITH YOU IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU! IT ALWAYS HAS AND IT ALWAYS WILL! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
