America and the Economy
The best advise I have found on dealing with the American economy was given several years ago by a great man named William Bradbury. He took a great truth and put these words to music and this song has become a source of strength for a host of people. Read the lyrics of this great hymn and be encouraged.
1. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath, His covenant, His blood, support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I in then in Him be found. Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.
AMERICA, GOD CALLS TO THEE, HE WANTS YOU TO BE TRULY FREE. SO BUILD YOUR FAITH UPON HIS SON, AND LIVE FOR HIM, SEE VICTORY WON!!
"What?" Pastor John said, "Stop serving?.."
YES! Yes indeed! This past Sunday as I parked at John 14:1-4 and we began to look at the scenic views of these verses of scripture, we all noticed a depth in Jesus' words that were completely and utterly life changing! He said He was coming back for his bride!
Is the Bride ready? Why are you serving? What are you doing to prepare for the Groom? I said to "stop serving" if you are serving to have a position in the church, if you are looking for man's approval, if you are serving for any reason other than "preparing yourself for the Groom" then stop! God is not impressed with how much money we give or how many hours we serve! He is looking at our heart. This is a heart issue! My hopes are that we serve as unto the Groom, we serve to prepare the way of the Lord, we occupy until He comes! So, when we are serving in AWANA, Men's or Women's ministry, youth, office, or any other place... Do it for Him! Not the church, not a pastor, not for a program, but as unto the Lord, our soon and coming King! "People get ready, Jesus is coming, Soon we'll be going home...."
