Greetings to Everyone,

I hope in the Lord that everyone is getting along well. As is evident to all who served or attended the drama last week, we are in awe of what the Lord has done! Thank you to everyone who participated in the Easter drama in any capacity. The joint efforts of the Body of Christ working together for the glory of God were evident. We thank the Lord for all the decisions to receive Christ, rededicate, or receive encouragement from the Holy Spirit to continue your commitment to Christ.

Weary and worn from weeks of preparation and the three days of doing our best leave us now more united, refreshed, strengthened in faith, diligent in service, and looking forward to how the Lord will use it. We can never know for sure of every decision, but approximately 45 to 50 gave their heart to Christ. I do not know, but Christ does, and we will trust Him. We shall pray for those who decided to get saved or be more committed.

I ask you to continue your efforts by following up with decisions you know of and inviting people to be a part of what the Lord is doing at Lanier. Share that uncontainable excitement with others as you journey down the mountaintop. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Psalm 107:2. Go and share the good things that our Lord is doing in your life and at the church. Our actions and attitudes prove the gratitude we have for the Lord. Romans 12:9-12-(9) Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil: cling to what is good. (10) Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. (11) Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Romans 12:9-12 does not say everything, but it sure does say a lot. Join me as we consider our ways and look to the way our Lord would have us be.

In Christ

Bro. Mike
