What an Awesome time at church today!! For me it started the
second that I stepped off the city bus. Do you ever just know that
you belong in a place? Once I walked far enough from the road I
had to just stop for a bit to look around, and thank the Lord that I
belonged in this place!!
I am grateful when I find somewhere that I really belong in. I have
been so many places that I really didn't fit in, or simply had no
business being there. I have walked into some neighborhoods looking
to buy dope in my addiction that I was blessed to ever get to leave
under my own power!!
Speaking of really bad places to be.................I signed up to go
into the worst neighborhoods here in Jacksonville to pass out free
food in time for Christmas. Now,...........You can't say that
ain't a transformation!! Straight from buying dope to spreading
the love of God through food baskets. Ain't God good!!! Just
think..............I never figured that I would amount to much of
nothing.
I also signed up for a few more things. I will be helping with the
decorating of the church for Christmas, and the grounds this coming
up week for two days. I will also be involved with the packaging of
the food baskets. I have no idea what will be in them, but Pastor
Gary said that we would be handing out over a thousand. The church
has set aside 30,000 to purchase food for them. Plus the church has
an opportunity to help by filling gift bags themselves.
We are going out into the same neighborhoods to pass out toys to the
children that live in these impoverished areas. Ain't it strange how
the drug culture looms around the poorest areas. Those getting rich
off sin never help anyone that is really struggling. I guess that
they are just too busy helping themselves to notice anybody else in
pain. That is really sad.
We have a fairly massive sized church. At least it is to me. There is
some serious money located inside the walls of my church. We have a
crowd of people that God has blessed greatly, and they show their
love back toward Him that gave it to begin with. I am thrilled to say that we are a giving
church. We support over 100 missionaries each month, and build a
church a month in a different foreign country.
Next Sunday I will be involved in a different kind of Sunday school
class. There was nothing wrong with the one that I’ve been
currently attending. My friend J.T. Wanted me to go with him. I
checked it out, and it looks like something that I could benefit from
attending. It is called the truth project. I will stick a link to it
right below.
There is something else going on that I will have to wait until later
to confirm what is really going to happen, as far as I am concerned.
It does seem like it will be up my alley with what I really want to
be doing.
I am not trying to flip nobody out here, but we need to keep an eye
on the happenings that are going on in Israel right now. The Muslim Brotherhood has
called for an all out Holy war on Israel. The end time Bible prophecy
is deeply concerned with the Israeli nation. Those of us that believe
that Jesus is the only way need to break the news to those who don't
believe. Nobody deserves to burn for all eternity!!
…...............Much Love
