Overwhelmed by God’s Faithfulness, Forgiveness and Promise of Forever

I am overwhelmed.

No, this is not a statement with regard to time. It is not agreeing with the numbers in the throng who believe there is always more work at the end of their day, or more month at the end of their budget, or more need at the end of their ability to meet needs. Many people feel that way all the time, and I certainly feel that way some of the time, but that is not what motivates this statement.

I am overwhelmed.

Thessalonica: A Paradigm Church

The church of Thessalonica caused Paul the least distress of the many other churches he commenced during his missionary endeavors. Thessalonica was a sound Christ-abiding church that conducted itself ideally, even though they were a relatively young church.

Awana Awards Night 2012

The final night of Awana is a bitterweet one. We’re sad because the clubbers will be going separate ways during the summer, and we may not see them again until Fall (our Awana Clubs have kids from many churches and areas around the Rockford region). Yet, we’re praising the Lord for the growth we’ve seen and the Word of God that has been treasured up in young, impressionable hearts. May His Word dwell richly in them all!
