Today at 2:00 pm, we will have an ordination service for Pastor Jim Powell. Jim was saved in our church, baptized in our church and called to ministry in our church. He has diligently served our congregation for eighteen years, practicing the functions of ministry to evangelize, baptize, marry and bury God's people. He continues to be our worship leader and a NHCF elder.
A "Preparedness Handbook" is available at the back of our chapel for those who are interested. Given the current events that are troubling our nation, we recommend that each of us do some storage of food and necessities. Preparing for emergencies is a good idea generally, and in light of long term shortages, we're wise to stock up now.
We’ve been introduced to AZOSA recently by Michael Calcagno, the local representative. Their mission is to inform the public about the truth of creation science over evolution. They sponsor talks at the Pinetop-Lakeside Senior Center on Saturdays.
This Saturday's talk is “Valuable and Vicious Viruses and a Vaccine”, 7 – 8:30 pm.
Give prayerful consideration to whether or not you get the virus vaccination; it's experimental, and it's unlike any other inoculation of the past.
We ’ve had a lot of conversation in the body lately about giving over our worries and anxieties to God. We know that Jesus taught this, saying, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness …do not be anxious f or tomorrow ; for tomorrow will care for itself … Matt. 6.33,34). However, we are constantly stressing out over the things that happen to us and the people to blame.
As one of our members says, “We just need to put it on the shelf and trust God. God.” Easier said than done. We tend to keep pulling it down again. After all, “God helps those who help themselves ” (Ben Franklin). Well, fin e and dandy, but do you really trust your help to get it right?
Experience teaches us that when we grab a hold of a worry or an anxiety, we tend to strong arm it to our will. That ’s not always good. In fact, the Bible is clear that the will of man is not good (Rom. 3. 10 12). This the reason that Jesus taught us to seek God ’s will …” Thy will be done ” (Luke 22.42).
Therefore, take your worries and anxieties and “put them up on the so to speak and trust in God our heavenly Father.
