New Life Update
Thirteen weeks from yesterday is the scheduled launch date for New Life Ministries.
How is that for a dose of reality?
Better yet, how is this for a dose of reality?
Psalm 115:3 “Our God is in the heavens; He does all that he pleases.”
Over the past few days, I will admit that I have entertained some anxious thoughts; honestly I have been somewhat overwhelmed. We are less than 13 weeks away from our launch date and we do not have a building. So we do not have an address or phone number. We do not have chairs, or a pulpit, or a sound system or a music pastor, or a million other things we will need.
Before you get second thoughts about having me as your pastor, let’s change perspectives. We DO have a promise from God that he has called us to start this church at this time. We DO have the presence of the Holy Spirit within us guiding our direction and we DO have the admonition from the Bible that we must:
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, (7) casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. (8) Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (9) Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. (10) And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (11) To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5:7-11)
In addition, we do have many other things coming together.
God Bless!
