the call of Isaiah

  One of the stories of the Bible that has continued to be on my mind as of late is the calling of the prophet Isaiah.  There are many pieces of this following chapter that are incredible. Read Isaiah 6.  Note what sticks out.  May God speak to each of us as only He can. Isaiah 6  NLT It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple.  2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.  3 They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” 4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. 5 Then I said, “It’s all over!

softly and tenderly

We are in the middle of an awesome series at The Community Fellowship.  It is called CLASSICS and uses hymns to remind us of the faith and theology that God has given us.  These truths literally help us have firm faith during tough times.

reason 4 of 5 for back2school

Stuart and Patrick County.   Danville and Pittsylvania County.   Henry County and Martinsville.   And beyond.   Today I share reason 4 of 5 of why we continue to do back2school every year, and that reason is that we have been called by God to do this.   It our obligation.   It is our responsibility.   It is our duty.   It is also our honor and joy to complete the task that God has given us. Mark 9:42   NLT But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millston...
