When I wake up each morning I am grateful that the Lord has given me another day. I am grateful because if indeed I woke up then I feel without question that He has a purpose for me to be here. I am very excited to be here at First Baptist. We are enjoying living here as well. We have been taking walks in the afternoon and just going around town and it is good to call this place home. It has been busy so far and I can only imagine that will not change. I am looking forward to the days ahead and truly feel that God has big plans for us here at FBC. We are living in a time that certainly seems uncertain. We read the headlines or hear the news of one tragedy after another, or one more person who has given up or had a disaster. I preaching a lot on the promises of God. He has assured all who trust in Him and have accepted Christ that we do not have to be among the worriers. Sure, life is hard some times and we all have had our storms, but we know that One who can tell the winds to stop. Psalm 118:8 reads, "It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man." If we look at the state of the world right now, I certainly think it is time to put this principle to work. God will never and has never made a promise that He will not keep. Trust Him today and find peace. I know things seems hard, people are out of work, some have lost their homes, some struggle with health issues, but my friends, this is not our home if we know Jesus. We are just passing through. Turn your life over to the One who will not fail you, the One who does not need a bailout program, the One who can bring real change, Jesus Christ. My life has never been the same since the night I made the decision to follow Him. It is the best thing I ever did. I know in my heart that the time is near and He will call us home when that time comes. I will not be making any predictions as to when that will be nor will I do any math to set dates. I will go by what the Word says and that is “no man knows the day nor hour.” I will just keep encouraging everyone to just be ready. I urge all who have become consumed by the worries of the world, "cast your cares upon Him." He will guide you in a way and to a place that nothing here on earth can compare to. My prayers go out to all of you and I always want you to know I am available anytime. Please never hesitate to call or write. I always look forward to hearing from you. May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You, it is a joy to serve with you.
Keep looking up, He’s coming back!!!!
from my heart,
Pastor Andy
