Lord, clear the church of all the rot and rubbish the devil has imposed on her, and bring us back to the Bible. Lastly, the mission of amusement fails to affect the end desired. It works havoc among young converts. Let the careless and scoffers, who thank God because the church met them halfway, speak and testify. Let the heavy laden who found peace through the concert not keep silent! Let the drunkard to whom the dramatic entertainment has been God's link in the chain of the conversion, stand up! There are none to answer. The mission of amusement produces no converts. The need of the hour for today's ministry is believ- ing scholarship joined with earnest spirituality, the one springing from the other as fruit from the root. The need is biblical doctrine, so understood and felt, that it sets men on fire.” END OF QUOTE Folks, God wants us not to be sim- ply – Emotional Driven, but Intellect Driven. Jesus said, “You shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will make/ set you FREE” AGAPE YOU! GOATS ... continued from page 11 SERMON WE MADE IT THIS FAR! Surely by now, we realize that the devil will attack those who are in Christ! Hebrews 10:32 sheds some additional light on what we can expect: But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated... You endured a great struggle with suffering. When it says, “after you were illuminated,” it literally means, "After you came to the light!" This verse is talking about when the light of the Gospel dawned on you, when you were saved! And what does this say to us? We need to recall--to remember, that AFTER we came to Christ, we endured! Yes, we went through some battles, BUT WE ARE STILL STANDING! Saints, it is vital- ly important that we remember this: Did you know there are a lot of people who were saved at the same time we were, but they are not seeking God today? They have either fallen by the wayside, or com- pletely abandoned their life in Christ! But, YOU made it through the battle! We made it through! We stood fast, and that’s why we are still standing! We might feel like we were pretty rickety and ready to keel over at times, but we are still seeking God! SO, if the devil could have taken us out, he would have done it already...before the Lord allowed us to see 2018! Beloved, by God's grace we made it this far! And it’s certainly NO TIME TO QUIT NOW!! We have been promised an ‘overflow’ of favor in this brand New Year as we rest in our Lord! IN 2018, Love and 'cooperate' with Him, AND RECEIVE!! By Dr. Sandra Powell Sandra Powell We might feel like we were pretty rickety and ready to keel over at times, but we are still seeking God!
