The answer is, nothing. That is the theme for this weeks nightly lessons held for the adults at Burnham Drive. What things in your life could separate you from the love of Christ? Christ's love for us will always be there. It may be better to ask, what will separate us, from OUR love for Christ? The way we live, worldly possessions, friends, social media, our jobs, even family, can get in the way of our love for Christ if we are not careful. We need to be ever diligent against the stumbling blocks that Satan throws in front of us. There may be times we get discouraged when doors are shut, and people choose not to be receptive to the Word, but we cannot let that frustration sour our attitude form sharing the love of Christ with others. This week, most of the people we meet are very receptive. There will be some, however, that basically shut the door on you. Jesus says to go and spread the Word, to share the Good News, not, go and MAKE people accept the Word. That is their own decision. So far this week, we are doing great work here. Today we held 27 studies, with 25 different people. All willing, and open to receive Gods message.
Tonight we had a great crowd at the evening classes. We had 150 people in attendance compared to 97 last night. That is a huge increase, and an encouragement to see that kind of interest and involvement from the community.
As I write this, at 10:24 PM local time, the preacher, Nigel Milo is taking a lady to the river to be baptized. Praise the Lord. No matter what hour of the day it is, when someone makes that decision to put on Christ in baptism, it is indeed a wonderful occasion. What great way to end the day!
'til next time......
