The Spirit of God can never come in until she prepares the way. There should be earnest searching of heart. There should be united, persevering prayer, and through faith a claiming of the promises of God. There should be, not a clothing of the body with sackcloth, as in ancient times, but a deep humiliation of soul. We have not the first reason for self-congratulation and self-exaltation. We should humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. He will appear to comfort and bless the true seekers. <BR/> The work is before us; will we engage in it? We must work fast, we must go steadily forward. We must be preparing for the great day of the Lord. We have no time to lose, no time to be engaged in selfish purposes. The world is to be warned. What are we doing as individuals to bring the light before others? God has left to every man his work; every one has a part to act, and we cannot neglect this work except at the peril of our souls. E.G. White, 1 Selected Messages, pg. 126 (emphasis mine)<BR/><BR/>Pledges for Building: I trust you have put your commitments to prayer. I know that I have been praying over our pledge! Trust God to provide for you, perhaps like He did with Peter and the tax money that was due (Matthew 17:27). If we are faithful, and it is God's will, we will own that piece of property shortly. Remember they are due by December 15, 2007. <BR/><BR/>GET INVOLVED! - Prayer Ministry: Every great revival was preceded by prayer. Prayer is the most effective weapon we have in our spiritual arsenal. Elder Willie Coleman is spearheading our prayer ministry. Please see him or any of the elders if you want to be a part of this great prayer movement.<BR/><BR/>Sermon Synopsis: Living As One - How do married couples live as one? When we come from different backgrounds, we were raised differently, perhaps different religious perspectives how can we live as God intends for husbands and wives to live – as one? What does it require, what must change for us to live as one? What does it mean to be one and what does it look like? Husbands and wives are ready to be one?<BR/><BR/>God Bless,<BR/>Pastor ArringtonBeacon Light SDA Churchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191579934779825897noreply@blogger.com
