Sunday Night Reflections

A few thoughts from an amazing day...

• Another baptism today - we rejoiced as did the angels in heaven!
• We celebrated 5 years of ministry at PBCC today we (Kathy & I) received many cards and gifts from our congregation we are so blessed to lead this congregation.
• I officiated at the funeral of WWII vet this week; we owe these men and women a great deal.
• I loved the "unplugged" worship this morning.
• I hope PBCC is known as a the church of the second chance.
• Remember the parable of the prodigal son reminds all of us, Christ is the faithful seeker of all who are lost.
• Like the prodigal son, the typical sinner wants to devise a plan to take care of his sin problem. However God will not hear of it, he provides EVERYTHING we need for sin removal.
• Next time you are uncertain about God forgiving you, consider Micah 7:18-19, “Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”
• I am praying for our teens while they are at CIY
• Remember everyone plays a part in reaching the lost - Have you considered what part you are willing to play?
• Timothy Keller's book "Counterfeit Gods" really speaks to what ails our culture.
