CHURCH CHRISTMAS PARTY ON SKATES

Tonight 6:30 – 8:30

ROMP & ROLL ON SALEM ROAD

No Activities at The Church

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Isaiah 58:12, “Thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.”

Draw near to God. 

Draw near, not after you adjust yourself, but before you even try. 

Because the blood has been shed, we can enter into God–the real Savior. 

He is the real Repairer. 

He is the real Healer. 

He is the One who cleans up our heart. 

He is the real Cleaner-upper. 

He is the real Restorer. 

He does all this, and He does it while we are in contact with Him.

Being oriented to Christ in my experience means that I am in contact with Him–no longer living to myself but to Him. 

My point of reference is no longer me. 

My point of reference is Christ. 

For example, if I am broken down, and I need some repair, then I need to go to the Repairman. 

Jesus is my Repairman. 

I do not know how to fix anything. 

I am just simply to come to Jesus. 

This is what I appreciate about some saints. 

They have their weaknesses, but amazingly, even in their frailty, weaknesses, and feelings of failure, they still have that boldness to just keep coming to God. 

Sometimes we may wonder how a believer could be testifying in a meeting so boldly when they are feeling so weak. 

But this is the right way–“Just as I am, without one plea . . . Fightings within and fears without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.” 

Just like that. 

And He does the work in us.

Until Tomorrow 

With a Shepherd’s Love
