Pastor’s Update
Dear friend of Pine Mountain Christian Community Church
I’m sure that if I asked you, “Do you want God to bless you?”, you’d say, “Yes!” Who wouldn’t want the God of the universe; the God Who is all powerful; the God who knows all things, and the God who loves us, to bless us! We intrinsically know that if we can get God on our side, our life would go a lot smoother. And it’s encouraging to know that God wants to bless us! God is for us! (Psalm 118:6) God wants to help us! (Psalm 118:7). However, experiencing God’s blessings is more a matter of us getting on God’s side than trying to get Him on our side. The passage we will look at this Sunday, January 29th, will tell us HOW TO GET ON GOD’S SIDE, AND how to have God’s blessing in WHAT we do. WOULDN’T THAT BE GREAT? TO BE BLESSED IN WHAT WE DO? It’s simple. James 1:25 tells us how we can be blessed in what we do: “But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.” So all I have to do if I want to be blessed in what I do, is to hear God’s Word (or read God’s Word), and then do it! In other words, all I need to do is this: do what God says! Come join us this Sunday as together we hear God’s Word and take steps to do it.
