Weekend Review

The Lord's presence was very near to all of us who attended the Sunday services at the Browntown, AL church. Several responded to the call from the Lord during the altar invitation. I truly believe that God desires to meet us at the point of our need. God has not planned for us to walk the road of life alone; He has made provision for His Spirit to come along side of us and assist us on the journey. It becomes our responsibility to respond to the call of the Spirit and allow Him into our lives. We can not keep God at arm's length, we must allow Him to draw near and release His presence into our lives. Pastor Tanner, Sis. Kris and the entire church family provided a warm welcome into their local church body. I am anticipating a mighty outpouring of the Spirit as we press into the presence of God this week. I wanted to remind you of this one thought. Do you realize that God has blessed you so that you can be a blessing to others? So many of us fail to remember that God has planned for us to help encourage, strengthen and pray for each other. We were not created to live isolated, lonely lives detached from one another. The family of God needs to take the time and make the effort to build up (edify) their brothers and sisters in Christ. We need each other and we need to offer our prayer support to each other. We are all facing our own unique set of challenges and situations; we certainly need the help and direction of God but we also need the care and concern of the people of God.
