Message about Heaven on Sunday,✝️ it’s been the subject many times over the past 50 years.🙏 Heard that the pro golfer, who won the Masters, gave his testimony on network TV. “It’s not me, it’s Jesus”.🎉 I’m not a big golf fan, but I’m a big fan of his.🎉 Let’s follow suit, when given the opportunity, let’s tell about Jesus.

While reading my Sunday School lesson, this statement got my attention, “This world is not our home; it’s just a temporary stretch of the journey toward eternity”. Old gospel song said it this way, “This world is not my home, l’m just a-passing through”! At my age I’m keenly aware of this.✝️ Are you packed up? Ready to go? Amen!

Woke up with a plate full on my mind. I have a busy weekend: church outreach BBQ, church working the Grits Festival, worship today and tomorrow at the nursing homes, and a baptism on Sunday. Oh, we need Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God”! Take a moment today for that, amen.

Sibling Day was yesterday. I called my sister, try to everyday.❤️We had two brothers who died at birth.✝️ She’s the “brains in the outfit”. She graduated “Magna Cum Laude”, and I graduated ”lawdy, lawdy”.😂 Family is everything, God created the family before the tabernacle or the temple. The family is the building block of society.✝️ Let’s draw close to our families while we can. My wife and our children, I thank God for them.✝️ Father, thank You for giving us our families, amen.

Life can be tough.✝️ Awful things can come our way, we pray and He hears and answers them.🙏 Yes, no, later on, something else -🙏 I admit that I don’t always understand what He is doing, but He’s God! l’ve trusted Him with my eternity.✝️ Oh I feel that eternity grows closer each day: do you? Are you prepared, amen?

Eclipse of the Sun was yesterday, 🎉there won’t be another in my lifetime.☹️ My mind went back to Genesis 1:3, “and God said, “let there be light, and there was light”.✝️ God is totally in charge.✝️ In Mark 15 there was total darkness from noon till 3 p.m. It was not an eclipse, but a supernatural darkness as Jesus takes all of our sins upon Himself. For the first time in all eternity, the Father and the Son were separated.✝️ Matthew 27:46: “My God, why have You forsaken Me?” But They are now One for eternity,✝️ thank You, Lord. Amen!

We had a visit from Sheriff Hancock to thank us for using our Church as a command center for the recent tornado.✝️ We are thankful we could help in this way. Working on next week’s message “Idol Worship?”, whatever we give first place to in our lives is what we worship.✝️ Father, we want to worship only You, guide us, in Your path, amen.

Sheriff’s officer took me on a tour of storm damaged area.☹️I am so thankful no one lost their life,🙏 but the damage is massive.✝️ We pray for those effected, for all the First Responders.🙏 The scripture that came to mind is, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.”🎉✝️ Amen!
#comehomeatlbbc

Yesterday, I saw first hand how our Sheriff’s office, all first responders came together to reach out to those hit by the storm. There were so many agencies, Fire Dept., Crisp County Power, EMS, Red Cross, oh I’ve missed some. Oh, Father, thank You for their work, ministry. We lift them up to You.🙏Our church, Lake Blackshear Baptist Church, served as the command post.✝️ Father, be with those affected by the storm, thank You, amen.
