Pastor Dick Lintelman says \u201cWhen your not at church you are missed.\u201d We are all part of the Body of Christ. \u00a0When someone is missing — the body suffers. Like it or not when you gave your life to Jesus you became a bond-servant, a slave, you no longer have the right to control your life. Something as simple as buying a pack of gum needs to be weighed against what Christ calls from you. All of us will need to decide between living a life of comfort or a life of sacrafice. \u00a0Each of us walk our own narrow path to the Father with Christ as our guide \u2013 our Way. \u00a0No one else can walk it for us. Some are called to suffer within the joy of service in Africa, some to follow our Lord right where they live. \u00a0Needless to say, our calling takes us away from lives as we use to know it.
\n
Our ministry is only as strong as our obediance to God. When our lives are in disarray and our families disfunctional, how can we be used by the Lord? \u00a0Jesus said \u201cLet the dead bury the dead\u2026\u201d Not everyone is called to suffer the life of a lonely Prophet or will everyone be called to be martyred for the cause of Christ. But we must be willing to follow any path as the Holy Spirit leads us. \u00a0There is time and a season to everything. \u00a0Following our Lord, to know God is Eternal Life! There is no ending season.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
