A Word from Moderator Barry
All the Happy New Years cheers have faded, the celebrations have ceased, and most of the resolutions we made have either gone by the wayside, or been placed on the back burner to be done at a later date. That’s the way many “ALMOST” Christians live their lives – they are “ALMOST” moved at an invitation to accept Jesus as Lord. They live like an “ALMOST” Christian, they act like a “ALMOST” Christian, and even talk like an “ALMOST” Christian! But, like those New Year Resolutions they ALMOST keep, they never follow through with it. They think that they’ll do that later on, or on a better day! They ALMOST make it!
When that day comes that our Lord returns for His Church, I would not be surprised to hear someone say, “I’m ALMOST ready, give me a minute!” Or “I'm not ready, come back tomorrow and I will be ready!” I believe that many will understand what I'm talking about, because they have PUT OFF TODAY WHAT THEY COULD DO TOMORROW!!
We are not promised a tomorrow, but we have Now. The Lord said in 2 Corinthians 6:2 “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
There are no excuses and no reasons, why you cannot and should not accept Jesus as Lord. Anything else, any excuses, any reasons not to, is from Satan. What is holding you back from accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior NOW?!
Stop being an “ALMOST” Christian! Become a Born Again Christian – believe and trust in Jesus Today!
If you have questions or need answers, please reach out to your local pastor, or reach out to us, as we would be happy to tell you about the Lord Jesus and His special Gift of Salvation!
To all our Pastors: Please call your church into a season of prayer for your church and this Association, that our Lord and Savior will heal and bind us together in one fellowship!
“Working Together as One for the Lord.” bp
