Today is the day in America that people will be rushing to the post office to postmark their income tax forms.  Some will owe additional taxes while others will receive a refund for over payment through the year.  Many will fret about what they owe the government.  As Jesus told us to render unto Caesar what is Caesars, we should pay the taxes and pay what we owe.  But how often do we take into account what we owe the Lord?  We have been purchased with a terrific price.  The price wast the Son of God to die on a cross for our sins.  We owe God everything.  God gave everything that He might redeem us to Himself!!  The deadline is here for taxes for the year of 2018.  Take account to day of what God has done for you and what amazing grace He has bestowed on you!!

Have you hit your growth spurt yet?  I know what many of you may be thinking at this moment.  “How many children and teens does this poor preacher think actually read his writings?”  I am not speaking of your physical growth. Most have stopped growing up and have begun to grow out.  But I am speaking of our spiritual growth. As we do grow to a certain point in our physical life and stop, that should not be the case in our spiritual life. We should continue to grow and to learn and become more and more mature in the Lord. Unlike your physical growth, spiritual growth doesn’t just happen.  Spiritual growth must be a desire and purposefully pursued. So have you hit a time that God has opened the portals of heaven and touched your life with a deeper relationship? If not, it is not too late. I encourage you to begin this journey today! Talk with Him, walk with Him, grow in Him and He in you!

        Revival is so needed in our country, state, county, city, and congregation!  This has been on my heart for a time and I have been praying that God would lead and direct a time for a revival meeting.  The time that God placed on my heart is just seven days away. We have made all the preparations that we can. We have men of God ready to come and preach the Word of God!  A readiness is far more than plans of the meetings. Just as I ask each member to be ready for every service, I want you to be ready for revival! Spend time in prayer that God would ready you for what He has planned in this revival.  We have been challenged to pray daily for our revival meetings, for the preachers that preach, for the songs which are sung, for conviction to move a people to humble themselves, pray more, seek God, and turn from the wicked ways of this world!  Revival is still possible! Be ready for God to move!
