Hope everyone
had a good week this past week. It’s
Saturday evening and I’m just now writing by blog for the week. The Razorbacks just blew a big league against
a team in New Jersey. Well, it’s
football. There’s a winner and a loser
in every game. I do like winning. The Enola Church of Christ is doing
well. We have had a busy week with
several of our members participating in the Faulkner County Fair in
Conway. I enjoyed watching them with
present their animals for the competition.
There were plenty of ribbons, buckles, and congratulations to be handed
out. Hard work and dedication always pay
off. Sometimes the payoff is a ribbon, a
buckle, an award, and even a college scholarship. At other times the payoff is simply the feeling
of accomplishment you have when you know you did your very best. To every Christian who let their light shine
this week at home, at school, at work, or in the community where you live;
thank you and God bless you.
Our lesson in
the morning (Sunday, 22nd) is entitled “The Facts of Life – Hell is
Real and How I know.” I know this is not
a topic that any of us are particularly interested in, but hell is a real place
and will one day be the eternal home for those who do not know God and to those
who have not obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ.
You can read this in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. Either the Bible is right or wrong. I believe that the Bible is truth. Was Jesus mistaken? Was Jesus wrong? Was Jesus deceiving us? Was Jesus lying when He spoke of hell? Well, if hell is not real, what can we
conclude about Jesus? No. Jesus was not mistaken. He is not wrong. He isn’t deceiving us. He is not lying. He is the Way. He is the Truth. He is the Life. No one comes to the Father except through
Him. You can read this in John 14:6.
Jesus asks every Christian to love others as
He loves us. You can read about this in
John 13:34-35. Just how did Jesus show
and share His love. How does He
love? On Sunday evening we are thinking
about how Jesus loved and then asking ourselves if we are loving the way He
loves. I want to love like He does. He is our Shepherd. We are following Him.
I love
Wednesday evenings at the Enola Church of Christ. After Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at work,
don’t you need a boost to your faith, hope, and love? I certainly do. And Wednesdays at Enola is just what I
need. We meet at 7:00 p.m. for only an
hour. We sing a few songs together. We mention those who are need and pray for
them. We read the Bible and study it together. On the last Wednesday in the month we have a “singing.” I know how it is. After a long day of work, it is sometimes
hard to find the energy to get home just in time to head out for Bible
study. Believe me, when you do, you’ll
find that your decision will be rewarded with a stronger faith in God, a deeper
love for Jesus and your fellow Christian brothers and sister, and a happy
heart. Come out and see. You’ll be so very glad you did.
Hey! How about a trivia question for you to research
and answer every blog? We have a Bible
trivia question every week at Enola. I’ll
include it in my blog. Here it is. I hope enjoy it. I’ll include the answer in next week’s blog.
A certain man ran for
his life. He slept under a tree. He prayed. He ate two super
nutritious meals.
Who was he?
Why was he
running?
What kind of tree?
What did he pray
for?
When was the next time
he ate?
