Ebenezer Baptist Church September Newsletter People of God, Reaching Everyone with the Love of Christ
FALL FOR HIM!!! The year of our Lord, Two-‐thousand and fifteen is FLYING BY. Hard to believe we are already into September. With September comes the new school year, the advent of fall, and a new opportunity to completely immerse ourselves in the work of God's kingdom.
I read a post on Facebook today by a fellow pastor in the Upstate. He basically said "I sure hope we can get as excited about the things of God as we will get about the upcoming football season!" That is saying A LOT!! Because, we in the South LOVE OUR FOOTBALL!! We love our Tigers, Gamecocks, Bulldogs, Paladins, Terriers, Tar Heels, Wolfpack, and the list goes on and on. Over the next few weeks, we will be quite passionate about their successes and their failures. As long as your words don't violate the Greatest Commandment Jesus shared (LOVE GOD, LOVE EACH OTHER), this is great!!
And how about this: Would you be willing to bring the same passion ... the same feeling ... the same spirit to HIS WORK!!! Because, Ebenezer, you are in a unique place right now. GOD IS VISIBLY MOVING IN YOUR MIDST.
Don't squander that. That, my friends, is worth far more than ANYTHING that ANY FOOTBALL TEAM can do. David
