"Where Can We Go. . . " ( John 6:68) . . .

     What a wonderful week around RVBC.  Business meeting was actually fun ( drama can help rather than be part of the dragginess).  Frank Snell's memorial was a beautiful tribute to a kind, Christian gentleman that brought glory to the Lord Jesus whom Frank loved and served.  Even Sunday, as tired as I was turned out to be a gentle reminder that we have NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, but to the Lord. 

      Yes, I was whining Sunday about how tired I was and asking you to pray for me.  Yes, I really do go to that special room that we are invited to come to for 'grace to help in time of need'.  And yes, I certainly do ask all to come with me there.  That's the Lord's invitation, signed in His own blood, to all who will surrender to the Father's call;  that we "come to Him, all who are weary and heavy laden and He WILL give you, me, all who come with a submissive, repentant heart,  . . . REST!" 

       It was His own body "broken for you ( us)" and because of that, when we gather together as His body on earth, filled with His Spirit we are able to minister that love and grace to each other.  (Ephesians 4:16). You did pray and He did bless. 

      Pray for each other, and the things God will be directing us through in the coming days.  WASP starts September 19, and  prayer for revival begins NOW. . . .    WHERE ELSE CAN WE GO? 

Isaiah 40:31

Great day at Rea Valley Baptist today. . . "I am not ashamed of the gospel. . . " with the Lord challenging us this morning through the apostle Paul in Romans 1, and then tonight with more celebration of what the Lord has been doing thro ugh this wonderful, little church with pastor Dale Freeman from Calvary Baptist Church, Albany, Oregon adding the emphasis via a sermon from K'melnitsky Ukraine, 2004. Keep praying everybody. It's going to be an exciting year!
