WHOA!!! Great service last night. God showed us.
Amazing Past.
Indescribable Present.
Unimaginable Future.
PRAISE HIS NAME
I hope you take the little time it takes to read the following Scripture. It addresses the kind of service we had last night.
The service was heart searching, soul stirring, awe inspiring, God glorifying, enlightening, challenging.
We (children and adults) shared and examined personal encounters with God.
Whatever our personality, gifts, needs, we all must to be open to God, consistent with Scripture, conformed to the image of Jesus, obedient to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is our Guide, the Holy Bible is our standard and a holy life of faith and love is our objective.
I mentioned the past, the present and the future in my post, because God wants to be present and active in our lives, from beginning to end.
The past provides the foundation upon which God builds our lives.
The present indicates our response to God's leading and working.
The future is only as bright as our relationship to Him.
Don't expect a great outcome without a great input; a great return, without a great investment
1 Corinthians 2:6-16
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
