Thanksgiving Day
Church Family and Friends,
Read carefully the words of Peter,
"Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are
blessed. And to not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to
Make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for
the Hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; and
keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are
slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be
put to shame."
-1 Peter 3:13-16
It would be easy to get frustrated and discouraged by the events
unfolding around our nation. Local governments are targeting churches
for preaching God's Word, the supreme court is trying to redefine
marriage, and Christians are considered a threat to society. Did you
notice Peter's question, "Who is there to harm you if your prove zealous
for what is good?" What is good? Serving the Lord Jesus Christ, standing
firm in truth, and loving both the lovable and the unlovable.
Let's praise God for the suffering and attacks we are facing as Christ
Followers. Let's be steadfast in faith and love. Let's be diligent to study
and apply God's Word so we can give a reason for our eternal hope in
Christ, both in word and deed. Finally, let's trust God to do what only God
can do, while we focus on what we are able to do. Only God can change
lives. Our task is to glorify Him in every way possible.
Blessings,
Pastor Scott
