Great is your faithfulness!” Between the notices being posted on Facebook, and the daily and nightly news, it’s difficult to keep a positive mental attitude. In fact it seems that if it wasn’t for bad news there would be no news at all! Yes, when the good news finally shows up it’s really not that good. This week the Lord took me to one of my favorite prophets. Jeremiah found himself in the middle of a mess, and in fact, things were so bad that he tried to quit a couple of times. Some even called him the weeping prophet because he cried so much! Thankfully God spoke to him and here’s what Jeremiah said: “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23. Yes my brothers and sisters, our hope is in Jesus, and we WILL get through this because great is HIS faithfulness.

Unapologetically Christian! This Sunday will be the easiest Sunday to attend church. It’s Easter Sunday, and no one will think you strange for showing up. Yes we who are regular attendees will make room, hoping our guests will find the resurrected Savior even as we did. The apostle Paul said “I am not ashamed...” and I say “We are unapologetic!” The world seeks to intimidate us for believing the truth, but I know that if God doesn’t judge this world, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. France, like much of Europe, is a atheistic nation, but when the Cathedral burned you would have thought that they found Jesus, and was crying over their sins. No, they were crying over the building and said almost nothing about Jesus. Three churches were burned down, in South Carolina. Will there be any millionaires sending money? No, I don’t think so. So Lord willing, I’ll be in church Easter Sunday, and Lord willing, I’ll be there the Sunday after that. Will I be intimidated by those who don’t know the truth? No, I am unapologetically a Christian! Happy Resurrection Sunday to you!
Man plans and God laughs!” Have you ever heard that old saying? Yes people love to make plans and forget to include God in them. Please don’t think that I’m trying to be political, because I’m not. The States have been given the release to return to business as usual. Business as usual? I don’t know if that will ever be again, but I do know that man plans and God laughs. I think that every born again believer can say that “Except the LORD builds the house...” Psalm 127:1. We may not be united in the method of water baptism, or on what day of the week to worship, or even how to have Communion, but we are all crying out to God to get us out from under this burden. Someone sent me a petition, and I won’t mention what it’s about, but I sure wish it had been a petition about falling on our knees and praying. Let’s pray that our leaders will stop making plans without consulting with God before God gives them a Proverb 1:26 experience. “I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;” As the church, we will continue to bombard Heaven, because only the love for Jesus can turn this thing around! Keep praying church!
