A Page From My Heart…
It’s April and Only one month and a few weeks away from our Missions Symposium on Friday May 14th and the Mid-Year State Associational Meeting on the 15th both at New Testament, Sullivan.
I am looking forward to both, please make plans to attend both meetings if possible.
Have you ever heard the phrase “one life to live soon it will pass only what’s done for Christ will last?”
Well, we as Christians need a steady dose of that eternal reality. Yes, there are many urgent things on this earth that require our attention and effort. Yes, there are many important things on this earth that require our attention. But there is only one thing on this earth that is both important and urgent and that is sharing the Gospel of Christ in our sphere of influence, and discipling those who come to Christ. This is the transcendent cause to which all of us have been called.
We must discipline ourselves to give our lives for this Holy and eternal calling.
All other pursuits will not pass the test of eternity when it comes to importance.
Our finances will be gone, our possessions gone, many of our relationships will be over, our reputations forgotten, once all the temporal is washed away with the reality of eternity we are back to the cliché, “One life to live soon it will pass only what’s done for Christ will last.”
Let’s surrender anew to the great commission and support every level of missions in our work, Local state and National.
Please pray for Bro. Juan and His family on the mission field.

May the Lord richly bless you is my prayer.
Bro. Ben
