Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
Good morning and Happy New Year. It is my prayer that God will
truly bless each of you this coming year.
I sat here and wrote this piece just a few minutes after I had
arrived home from John D. Morton’s Memorial service at Bowen Church of God.
Today I am very proud to be a Christian in
As
proud as I am there is still a part of me that is still upset over the actions
of a few so-called Christians that because of their perverted views have
brought much hurt and worry to so many people that didn’t deserve it at all. It
just goes to show you that your actions do have an impact on those around you.
Free
speech, in one way it is such a great thing and in others it is very troubling.
Really and truly I have discovered this week that it seemed like everyone had
freedom but the families that were mourning the loss of their fallen family
member. Everyone seemed to get to say
their piece but the Morton family just had to roll with the punches so to
speak. It doesn’t seem right but that is the way it goes.
As
Christians we need to always be sure that we represent our Savior in the best
manner possible. He is not a hater of people, but of sin. He does not want
people destroyed or killed but saved. He actually doesn’t want Christians to
have freedom of speech; He wants us to be under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. I am not free to act or speak as I wish but I am enslaved to Christ and
must act and speak, as He would want me to. And to that I say “Praise God”.
In my prayers - Pastor Anthony
