  • Telling your story

    In our Sunday evening services, we have been hearing different members of our church body tell their story of how Jesus saved them.

    In our efforts to teach people faithfully, here are the three main keys we seek to build every testimony around. (I hope these are helpful. And I hope your testimony includes these three components.)

    1) Before Christ-Meeting Christ-After Christ. Every testimony should tell of the person’s life before they get saved; how they met Christ; and their life after they got saved.

    2) You or Jesus? Every testimony should be about what God has done. Therefore, you can ask ‘Is this more about what you have done or is this more about what Christ has done in you?’

    3) Faith & Repentance. Every testimony should include Faith and Repentance. Faith and repentance are 2 sides to the same coin. We are saved by grace through faith, and unless you repent you will die in your sins. No matter how much you have said… Until you tell when you believed and were forgiven, you have not given testimony to God saving you.

  • Snow and understanding

    Snow is awesome!  Lately we have seen it so regularly. In two days, we have a chance of getting another large snowfall. (I sure hope we do.)

    In the book of Job (37:6), his friend Elihu says, “God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth…’”

    A simple statement yet so profound. Our lives need to be about God. We were made for Him. We are to love Him above all things. We were created to worship, honor, and glorify Him. I am praying that God would produce God-centered people who possess the mind of Christ. I am praying that God would make men and women who think about God in all situations.

    Even as the snow falls daily, and sometimes there is accumulation and sometimes there isn’t, Are you mindful that God told that snow to fall? Are you looking to Jesus as the one who is telling the snow where to land and stick?

    Allow the snow to give you further understanding of how awesome your great God and Savior Jesus Christ is!
