August 9 “THE ONLY WAY” John 14:6
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (John 14:6)
“How dare you tell me that your way is the only way!” This was the response from a young man that I shared the “Love of God, through Jesus Christ!” I attempted to explain that it was not my way, but His way! Boy, was he offended! As I have considered that moment and have begun to understand the “teachable” moment, I recognize that the world and this multi-religious culture, hates the truth and anyone that promotes the truth! Amazingly, Satan, and his minions are truly challenged by a few simple, yet profound words; “EXCEPT THROUGH ME!” Friends, those of us who are believers, and are serious about serving Him, must believe these simple words, accept these simple words, and boldly and unashamedly proclaim these simple words!! Jesus told His followers (and He told us) that the world would “HATE” us because of Him! Our promise of His Love, is all that we need to boldly serve Him… “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)” Jesus Christ is the Savior of this world, and He is the only way to Salvation, and this FACT is offensive to this evil world! Regardless of the criticism and defamation and evil motivated actions and words, we are to stand strong, boldly proclaim His “Good News,” and completely depend on the TRUTH of His Holy Word! May God guide you through this life, give you renewed strength, direct your paths, and give you complete peace and joy in your journey! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
Special Request: PLEASE PRAY for our NATION, our LEADERS, our WAY OF LIFE! Evil, Hatred, and Satanic Forces are active and determined to overthrow the very freedoms that allow them to disagree and to continue to systematically dismantle our way of life! Disagreeing is normal; yet the willful abuse of power to silence opposition, is not okay! If a former President’s home can be “invaded” and his property taken, by a government agency, that has been tasked with the role of intimidation, what would make us think that this couldn’t happen to us? The very foundations of our Republic are under attack from individuals that would destroy the Constitution and allow politically correct policies and communistic (Anti-God) thoughts and actions to dominate our nation. Satan is having a “Field Day,” as his minions continue to dismantle the foundations of our American Experience, and it is being done under the false statement of “For the American People!” Pay Attention! The Church, the Message of Christ, the very idea of a God that controls the Universe, is abhorrent and fearful to those who are a part of Satan’s army. Friends, we need to be aware of the EVIL that is about, and we need to recognize that this Satanic Evil is real and growing! Be prepared for the ever growing and bolder attacks on the truth. Just be aware, be strong, and remember that God has a plan for us, and it begins with JESUS CHRIST! Stay Focused on our calling and continue to share the Good News, one soul at a time! Opposition to EVIL is not WRONG, it is EXPECTED!! Believers, stay focused on the task ahead and continue to hold fast to the Promises and Provisions and Power of Almighty God to Protect and to Prosper our Living! (Personal Observation)
