Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
This past week I have been very busy and involved in
helping the Ministerial Association map out our plan in attacking our drug
problem in
I have been questioned lately about why I do all that I do.
Why am I so involved in what seems to be a losing battle on drug and alcohol
addiction in our community. My answer is simple; I am going about my Father’s
business. Just as Christ was at the age of 12 years old when He was preaching
in the temple, I am just doing what I believe is the heart of my God. There is
no way I would be able to sit on the sidelines and do nothing when I have
realized what is the hearts desire of my Lord and Savior.
Part of being a Christian is being obedient; part of being obedient is doing
what you know you should be doing. Obedience is more than not doing what is
wrong, but it also means doing what is right and what is expected of us.
What is it that you do that makes you about the Father’s
business? It is a great fear of mine that there will be many well meaning
people standing before God at the Judgment and be found guilty of the sin of
omission, or neglecting to do what you know God desires you to do.
It is hard for me to believe that there are great numbers
of people that are around us everyday that are dying and going to Hell and
about every pastor of the local churches have a hard time finding members in
their churches that are willing to perform a simple task such as pray.
I know we all are busy, I have a very busy schedule myself,
but that does not keep me from being involved. It is my desire to see each
person in our church in the next year becomes a part of some ministry here at
In my
prayers,
Pastor Anthony
