A Helpful Reminder

A friend of mine, Fred Carlson, e-mailed me an excellent reminder. I think that you’ll find it to be an encouragement, much like I did. And I quote...

In the face of many changes, isn’t it good to know that ...
1. The Bible still is God's true story, and has the answers.
2. Believing prayer still is the most powerful force of God on Earth.
3. The Holy Spirit keeps moving people to God.
4. God still welcomes the praises of His people.
5. God still loves to forgive. 
6. Personal and corporate revival still is available.
7. God still loves obedient faith.
8. God still pours out blessings on His people.
9. There still is room at the Cross.
10. The resurrected Savior still loves and enjoys you.
11. Jesus Christ still receives those who come to Him in repenting faith.
12. The Church still is Christ's family on Earth, and will prevail over Hell's gates.
13. Good still is more powerful than evil, and God's light still penetrates sin's darkness.
14. Jesus Christ still is coming back to claim His Bride and to reign over earth.
15. Your real number one and two purposes in life still are to love God and love people for God.
16. The Holy Spirit still has real comfort and strength for God's people.
17. God will vindicate His good Name, and reign joyfully forever over His restored creation.

Isn't it great to remember who really holds the reigns of power, and that, "The Word of the Lord endures forever." (1 Peter 1:25)”


I hope Fred’s words (original to him or not) are an encouragement to you this day. Always remember, God is still on the Throne!

In His grip,
Pastor Decker
