August 13 Fulfilling God’s Purpose Mark 16:15
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)
What is the role of the “Church” in modern times? Fundraisers, Socials, Potluck Meals, Committees, Teams, Buildings, Prosperity, Busywork, Special Programs, are activities of the Church, but not the Purpose and Destiny of the “Body of Christ” that is called “the Church!” Our goal, our responsibility, our destiny is to share Jesus with this lost and depraved world, and we are to do it with a passion, with a “Kingdom Vision,” and we are to Live each day, Guided, Directed, Empowered, and Promoted by the Holy Spirit, in order to complete our stated purpose, and that is to share the Love of Jesus, and His Saving Grace with EVERYONE that WE MEET! Your Christian Life MUST be an ongoing and active and growing part of who you are and there can be NO wavering in our commitment to Him, and the Cause of Christ! All of the activities of the Local Church Body are great, but if we are not promoting Jesus, then we are falling short of our responsibility to share the Good News! Our Focus MUST be on the Selfless Act at Calvary, and His Promise of Redemption, Cleansing, and Restoration! Friends, if Jesus is not the Center of Your life and the Motivating Power that drives your thoughts, attitudes and actions, then it is time to STOP, DROP, and PRAY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
