the Logos

The Church Family Meeting is tomorrow at 7pm. All members are asked to be present to get a critical update on our current financial situation. We had Ecuador Testimonies from Deacon Darby (University Team), Minister Coppage (Construction Team), and my wife, Anita Harris (Community Evangelism).  We look forward to also hearing from our first teen to take a mission trip, Bro. Derrick Wiggins, who was also on a Community Evangelism Team. For myself, I was on the prison team again this year.  For the event that I shared, you can watch this video blog post that I made while still in Ecuador. Next Sunday I'll be out again but just down Evans road at Cary First Christian Church . I'll be speaking for their Homecoming Service at 10:30am.  Your prayers are appreciated. Another thing that really impressed me from the Ecuador trip was the generosity of the people.  One day as we were out in a community, a family gave us plates of food .  It's amazing to see that ...

Please keep the family of Sis. Alice Shorts in your prayers. We had her homegoing service on yesterday. Often churches measure their "success" by the number of new members and baptisms. That's good, but a better measurement might be the number of faithful saints buried who still professed and trusted in Christ.  That is a great testament to the faithful of our God and a church's fidelity to preaching the Gospel and making disciples. Next Radical Love project is Witness to Thy Neighbor . For the next quarter, the challenge is to intentionally share the Gospel with at least 1 person. It's important for us to know the Gospel so that we can share it. Even if you have to sing it or rap it, share the Gospel.

Here are some practical things to help you share yo...

God is the Alpha and the Omega.  He began everything and will complete it all.  Even when we feel like everything is out of control, God is still in control.  God has a definite plan!  (click here if you can't see the video) We have been getting to know thy neighbor, serve thy neighbor, invite thy neighbor, and now we want to do the most important thing: Witness to Thy Neighbor.  For the next quarter, I want to encourage all of us to intentionally share the Gospel with at least 1 person.  I know that this may be a challenge for many of us as it takes us out of our comfort zone but this is our mission, to spread the Gospel.  Throughout this quarter, I'll be sharing things about evangelism. Also, I highly recommend this book: The Gospel and Personal Evangelism by Mark Dever .
