Michael Harrison's e-devotion

1 John 4:8   NLT But anyone who does not love does not know God , for God is love . We stand at the threshold of new possibilities and of great opportunities as the New Year begins in a few hours.   2014 will offer each of us challenges, some heart attack and much love as we pursue the dreams that God had embedded into our hearts.   For that I am very excited. But what takes my attention the most are some things that have not changed and will not change.   God loves me.   God loves you.   Nothing can change those two facts.   The verse above points clearly to the implications of God’s love on our lives.   If we love, we know God.   If we have trouble loving, our understanding and knowing God must be messed up.   The calendar changes tomorrow.   The opportunities change and present themselves in living color, but our God does not change.   I am thankful for the fact that I will understand more about God an...

Can you believe that 2014 is almost here?  It is amazing to look back over the past twelve months at all God has done at and through The Community Fellowship.  Thank you for the part you have played to make this a reality. Please join Pastor Michael, church leaders and many from The Community in a  PRAYER WALK  on New Years Day, January 1st, at 3:30pm at our new campus.  That is a change in time from our normal 5:50 prayer walk that takes place each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Please pass this invitation on to others in our community that know about the work we are doing to serve those in our community.  Our new campus is located at 700 Commerce Court in Martinsville.  We will walk around the campus 7 (yes that is 7 like the children of Israel did around Jericho) beginning at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon.  Our prayer is asking God to give us the resources to move into this campus and to be able to impact more people as we  demonstra...

I am amazed at the prospects ahead of us.   Look at the evidence of what happens when a person sells out to Jesus.   God blesses the people who whole-heartedly give all to do what He asks and to go where He calls them to go.   The evidence is found in the Bible as well as in the testimony of the people we have known through the years. Joshua 1:7   NLT Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turn ing either to the right or to the left . Then you will be successful in everything you do. You’ve heard it before, as I have, that our best days are ahead of us.   Stop relying on the past to be our place of celebration or even to hold our best when the best is far different.   I confess that what often keeps us from the best is us.   It’s a fact.   We have held ourselves and others back, and I am dead set against that happening any more.   Do you hear me?   M...
