Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
All week long I have found myself fighting the famous
symptoms of the flu or maybe just a bad cold. The chills, the stuffy head, the
aching bones, the scratchy throat, you name it I have went through it at one
time or another this week. I have tried to be a trooper and keep going through
it all and try to continue with my regular work load. But that is not always
possible because sooner or later my symptoms would take charge and leave me
unable to do what I needed to. So I would have to go back home and restore my
energy and go back at it again.
But as I meditated on this week, I realized that there are
many around us everyday that claim to have a relationship with Jesus but they
have all the symptoms of sin in their lives. They try to carry on as normal but
it is very evident that something is not right. They may be like me this week,
not really full blown sick but awful close to it. They may not be head long in
sin but they really are flirting with the idea.
Sin drags us down, it hinders our attitude, it causes us
harm within our families, in the end it causes us
utter ruin.
So my challenge to any that has the symptoms of sin in
their lives to go back home to God and get restored. Get back that relationship
with God that you once had and allow Him to strengthen you to be able to carry
out the plan of God in your life.
In my prayers,
Pastor Anthony
Return
to Home.
