Greetings to Everyone,

I hope in the Lord that everyone is getting along well. We are very close to the men’s conference for young

and old alike. This year’s conference theme is “Men of Courage.” We invite you to come join us as we find

biblical answers to the triumphs and troubles faced in life. We will have the Word, great worship, delicious

home cooked food and fellowship. Please join us August 16th & 17th

.

In the book of John chapter 9 there is a passage explaining how Jesus miraculously touched and healed a

man that had been blind from birth. Having never been able to see and now able to see everything was no

doubt exciting but also life changing. Of course, the Pharisees questioned and scoffed over this event, never

the less it did not change the outcome. The man that could now see had never seen Jesus but towards the end

of the chapter, that meeting took place and the once blind man fell and worshipped Jesus. The Pharisees

surfaced once again and asked, “What, are we blind too?” We must be diligent in what we perceive through

our spiritual insight. When we overcome our spiritual blindness and we can see, it is very relative to our walk

in Christ. You could not see but now you can is the content of this passage. The Lord’s thoughts and ways are

so much higher than ours are which leaves us to trust in God only. Daily living confronts us with many things

that demand us to look through the eyes of Christ for answers. Before you make assumptions and take

something for granted, make sure that you are looking at things as they truly are. See to it that you have

prayed about it as you should and that you have humbled yourself to become obedient, and lastly does your

heart truly want God’s will to be done. Our claim is that we can now see, so why is it that our guilt remains?

There is only one answer to this dilemma: PRIDE.

Thank you to everyone who constantly serves at and around the church to keep everything in order and

running.

In Christ

Bro. Mike
