Exhortation From The Pen of
Alphonso Gates, Part 1
Every member is important and every member is needed. The Elders and Deacons
know that every member is needed and wants to use their talents and gifts to the greatest
degree that they can. It is the responsibility of every member to bear fruit. We have to make
sure that every member is engaged. For too long, we have let the members take the
communion, sing a song, leave the building, and think that they have worshipped God—and
that’s not so.
I want to make sure that everybody greets everybody, especially those that are visitors.
We want to make sure that everyone is welcomed and the proper courtesy extended to them.
This includes non-black members as well. We don’t want to get stuck with being a black-only
congregation. We must be sure to find ways to reach all of our brothers and sisters of all
nationalities. This is what God would want. In addition, we have to make sure we reach out to
non-members. We have to make sure that they are a part of the Dellcrest family. When
visitors come to us and want to come back, that’s a testament to the warmth of our
congregation. So let’s make sure we remember the main focus of the Great Commission.
However, this may not be easy to do, so we might need training on how to greet strangers and
each other because we need to know the difference between proper public conversation and
when to leave the joking elsewhere. This is important because we have people who are not a
part of our congregation that are watching us and need to see a proper image of God’s
children as they have been commanded to interact with each other. Also, we should be trained
on greeting each other properly because we want to make sure that everyone feels accepted.
From a Servant of The Highest

CHURCH OFFICE HOURS

DID YOU KNOW THAT
1. The Bible speaks of just one church: Read
Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Col. 1:18; I Cor.
12: 12-27.
2. Denominational division is contrary to the
teaching of the Bible? Read: I Cor. 1:10; Phil. 3:16
3. In order to become a Christian, one must:
a) Hear the gospel - Rom. 10:17; Acts 15:7
b) Believe in Christ - John 8:24; Heb. 11:6
c) Repent of sins - Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30
d) Confess faith in Christ - Matt. 10:32;
Romans 10:9-10
e) Be baptized for remission of sins - Acts 2:38
4. When one obeys Christ in being baptized:
a) He gets into Christ - Gal. 3:27; I Cor. 12:13
b) He is saved from his past sins - I Pet. 3:2021; Mark 16:15-16
Why not obey the gospel of Christ!
