๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ช๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐ข ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐?
Greetings everyone.
๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐โ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐.
He didnโt have to do itโbut ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป. Another breath. Another sunrise. Another opportunity to love our families, fulfill our purpose, and most importantly, ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐. Time is upon us, the trumpet is getting ready to sound the alarm.
As I thanked God this morning, one thought settled deeply in my heart:
๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐, ๐น๐ฒ๐โ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ.
My brothers and sisters, ๐ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐. I donโt just want you blessedโI want you ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐๐. I want us to worship and serve together here, and one day ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ท๐ผ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ.
Iโm not pointing a finger at anyone. ๐โ๐บ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ. I need His mercy, His grace, His Word, and His presence just like everyone else.
So from the heart of a brother and pastor who wants ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐, I lovingly ask:
๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ช๐ ๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐ข ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐?
Jesus said:
โ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ธ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐: ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐บ๐ฒโฆโ โ Matthew 7:23 (KJV)
Those words make me examine myself.
I can preach, serve, worship, pray, and stay busy doing church work, but none of that can replace ๐๐ฟ๐๐น๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ถ๐บ.
So I ask myself:
๐๐ผ ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐?๏ฟฝ๐๐ผ ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ต๐๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ?๏ฟฝ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐บ๐ฒ?๏ฟฝ๐ข๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ?
Suppose we have drifted, ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐. Jesus is still calling, His grace is still sufficient, and His arms are still open.
Maybe youโve wandered. Maybe youโve been going through the motions. Maybe youโre simply unsure where you stand with God.

Come with an honest heart. Turn from sin, surrender your life to Him, and obey the message preached on the Day of Pentecost:
โ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐.โ โ Acts 2:38 (KJV)

Our busyness, careers, possessions, entertainment, accomplishmentsโeven the people we loveโcannot take the place of knowing Jesus. When this life is over, one question will matter above everything else:
๐๐ฆ ๐ ๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ก ๐๐ก ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐?
Iโm examining my own heart too. ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐, ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ถ๐บ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ฒ๐น๐นโand from my heart, I want that for you too.
God gave us another day.
