Pastor's Thoughts

"THESE ALL DIED IN FAITH, NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES, BUT WERE PERSUADED OF THEM AFAR OFF, AND EMBRACED THEM, AND CONFESSED THAT THEY WERE STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS ON THE EARTH."    HEBREWS 11:13

I HAVE BEEN ASKED A NUMBER O TIMES LATELY, "WHAT DOES GOD EXPECT FROM ME?"

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS FAIRLY SIMPLE, GOD MAKES IT CLEAR WHAT HE WANTS IN CHAPTER ELEVEN OF HEBREWS.

IF FACT VERSE NUMBER 6 OF THIS GREAT CHAPTER SAYS VERY PLAINLY, "BUT WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEAS HIM."

THEREFORE WHAT GOD VALUES IN THE LIFE OF ANY CHRISTIAN IS FOR ONE TO BE FAITHFUL.

THE FAITHFULNESS THAT GOD EXPECTS SHOULD EXTEND TO EVERY AREA OF OUR LIFE.  FIRST AND FOREMOST WE SHOULD BE FAITHFUL TO GOD AND OUR CALLING BY HIM. WE SHOULD ALSO BE FAITHFUL TO OUR CHURCH AND FINALLY WE SHOULD BE FAITHFUL TO OUR FAMILY.

MAY WE ALL STRIVE TO STRENGTHEN OUR FAITHFULNESS THEREBY PLEASING GOD AND IMPROVING OUR WITNESS FOR HIM.
