VBS Follow Up

I think that the gospel resinated with several of the children. While no one came forward to talk to me. It was evident on two girls faces that they understood and were disturbed by the fact that they needed to have their sins forgiven. Hopefully this seed will mature into salvation. VBS has been a fun and crazy time.

Salvation vbs

Tonight is the last VBS night and we should all be in prayer for the salvation of those in attendance. Tonight Andrew and I will be doing a message focused on the Gospel. THe gospel has been going out all week and I am sure of 4 children that need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Instability can often come upon us. One thing that I prided my self in was the ability to just work through hard situations in life. When a moment of adversity came upon me my attitude was to lower my sholder and run through it even if it took a lot of work. However sometimes I feel like even I get beat down too much. That even though I tell my self I can get through whatever it is because its life. The reality is that I fail a lot. I fall flat on my face so many times. Its not the falling that is so bad. Its always been my fear of not being able to get back up. Is this perhaps what God wishes to teach me. Is a great fall that disables my ability to get back up what God wishes to give me, in order that I might learn with my heart that it is God who enables me to make my way through these hard times and even the easy times? I have been told that I see black and white more than grey. I find that this is true most of the time. Most of the time the black and white is good. However some grey is some areas of our lives may be what causes us to depend on God more. The inability to truely know may push us to admit we are nothing compared to our God.

Daniel chapter 4 and my life is what has inspired this posting.

Summer Bible study at OFRBC

Tonight, July 19 2007 will be the start of a summer Bible study. The fall and spring Bible studies have been a great time of refreshment and encouragement in God's word I am confident this will be equally valuable. I would like to recommend an article if you are interested in studying the book of Romans in an in-depth manner. "Eternal Son, Davidic Son, Messianic Son: An exposition of Romans 1:1-7" By David J. MacLeod published in Bibliotheca Sacra 162 (Jan-March 2005) pg. 76-94. I found this be a good read. There is Greek in this article but if you’re not a student of the Greek do not fear. Most of the Greek has the English preceding or following it and word studies are done throughout the article explaining the Greek. In other words if you cannot read Greek you can still read and benefit from this article. I hope that you will study Romans or any part of scripture and all it to change you.

God Bless,
Tim
