March 1, 2009 – Faith in ‘Frosty’ March 1, 2009

Good Morning. Today I was amazed at how much faith people put in frosty. All week long there has been a buzz around Atlanta about the impending snow storm that was to hit today. The shelves were bare all week and everyone was be preparing for the storm. Even I was pulled into the preparatory shuffle. Today when I woke up it was raining and sleeting. This evidence was enough for me to start to prepare for the storm to come. As I drove to the store it began to snow harder and once arriving the store was jam packed with people purchasing food to prepare for the storm. As I walked the aisles I was amazed at how frantic people were and how much faith they had to believe that the storm was actually coming. People were on their phones instructing their friends, family, and neighbors to get to the stores before it ‘got bad.’ Folks were rushing as if they knew for certain this storm would be a huge one. I was literally in a state of state of shock… wonder why?


Well, we’ve known Jesus was coming back for quite sometime now and churches are still empty. People are still living life as if they don’t know for sure our Savior is returning. You don’t see people running to church like they do the grocery stores. You don’t see people witnessing on their telephones or to their neighbors about Christ’s return.  There are, however, some people who run to the church after receiving a blessing (evidence that He’s realy and comingback) but why are those instances so few and far between?

 

Jesus IS coming back people… make sure you tell everyone you know to GET READY!




Scripture to Remember…

 

 




Matthew 24: 30-31″Then, the Arrival of the Son of Man! It will fill the skies-no one will miss it. Unready people all over the world, outsiders to the splendor and power, will raise a huge lament as they watch the Son of Man blazing out of heaven. At that same moment, he’ll dispatch his angels with a trumpet-blast summons, pulling in God’s chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole.
 32-35″Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know he’s at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for all of you. This age continues until all these things take place. Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.
 36“But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.
 37-39″The Arrival of the Son of Man will take place in times like Noah’s. Before the great flood everyone was carrying on as usual, having a good time right up to the day Noah boarded the ark. They knew nothing-until the flood hit and swept everything away.
 39-44″The Son of Man’s Arrival will be like that: Two men will be working in the field-one will be taken, one left behind; two women will be grinding at the mill-one will be taken, one left behind. So stay awake, alert. You have no idea what day your Master will show up. But you do know this: You know that if the homeowner had known what time of night the burglar would arrive, he would have been there with his dogs to prevent the break-in. Be vigilant just like that. You have no idea when the Son of Man is going to show up.









 

 

 




       

 

When you need a song…


Run Till I’m Finished

by Smokie Norful

 

I have decided
Determined i’m committed
That i’ll run
No matter the cost

And I have decided
Determined i’m committed
That i’ll run
Even though at times I may get lost

I’m going to finish my race
I’m going to take my proper place
In the winning circle

I’m going to run anyway
I dont know where or when or how
But I know that i’m going to make it

Oh i’ll run
This race
Nestled safetly in amazing grace
I’ve made up my mind
And I dont have much time
But i’ll run, Til I Finish

I’m going to run this race
I’m going to take my proper place
In the winning circle

And I’m going to run anyway
I dont know where, I dont know when or how
But I know
I’m going to make it

Oh i’ll run this race
Nestled safetly in amazing grace
I made up my mind
I dont have much time
So i’ll run, Til I Finish

Oh
I made up my mind
I dont have much time
But i’m gonna run,
i’m gonna run, i’m gonna run til I finish
Yeh I made up my mind
I dont have much time
But I’ll run
Til I finish




From The Desk of Lady Doss…




 




As Lent begins, consider the things that come between you and God, and starting with the words below, hold them up to God as a confession. Confession causes us to face our nature, and can be a frightful thing, but it is also a bridge to God. Sincere confession is always followed by God’s drawing near in forgiveness. As you read, don’t be limited by what is written here. Add your own words as you are moved to.



Holy and merciful Father: We confess to you that we have sinned by our own fault in thought, word, and deed; by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart, and mind, and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have not forgiven others as we have been forgiven. We have been deaf to your call to serve, as Christ served us.


Father, I confess to you my great pride, impatience, self indulgence, prejudice, contempt, cruelty, and dishonesty. I confess my exploitation of others, envy of those more fortunate, lust for worldly goods and comforts, negligence in prayer and worship, and my failure to stand firm and be a witness to your reality.* 

 

 I’m praying for you…
 

 

In Him,
 
Lady Doss
