Rekindling Our Passion Series


Pastor Ron will conclude his sermon series with a message entitled, Rekindling Our Passion for the Word of God. Someone shared these thoughts recently in an email:

HOW TO STAY SAFE IN THE WORLD TODAY.

1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.
2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.
3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians.
4. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation.
5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals.

So, above all else, avoid hospitals.

... You will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders.

Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church!

And....Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.
So, for SAFETY'S sake - Attend church, and read your Bible IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

The Word of God empowers and equips us to live a life that is distinctly relational to God's divine purpose. When we apply biblical principles and patterns to our daily activity, He will respond with grace and power to sanctify our hearts and minds. The story is told of an old deacon who used to pray every Wednesday night at prayer meeting for his wrongdoing and concluded his prayer the same way: “And, Lord, clean all the cobwebs out of my life ?the things that are gathered there that ought not to have been there. O Lord, clean all the cobwebs out of my life.”
It got too much for one fellow in the prayer meeting after hearing the deacon one too often; so when the old deacon said the same prayer the next time, the fellow jumped to his feet and shouted: “Lord, Lord, don’t clean the cobwebs. Kill the spider, kill the spider.”

May God "kill the spiders" of your life through the truth of His Word!
