Considerations for 2010

Brethren,

I believe that God would have us begin 2010 entirely different than we have done things in the past. There is the distinct possibility that we are to give a greater prominence to the precious truths contained in the books of Daniel and Revelation. The gospel, the truth as it is in Jesus, must be presented as a WHOLE. This would entail not only the presentation of how we must be prepared to meet Him, but also a clear and distinct knowledge of where we are as God’s people in the prophetic line of the last days which would also serve as a faith builder as we see the prophecies outlined coming to past. God would call upon us as His chosen instruments to obtain from the Holy Spirit the ability to obtain the balance as well as the skill and understanding to intertwine an understanding of the prophetic events outlined in Daniel and Revelation with a clearer insight into how we as Christians are to surrender completely to God so that He can manifest Himself to the world through us. The counsel admonishes us that we are not to present strong meat to those who do not understand the first principles and by God’s grace as we strive to make 2010 a year of greater evangelistic efforts on our part we shall keep this injunction in mind – but brethren, OUR PEOPLE, those within our congregations, it is HIGH TIME that they be brought up to speed. Some will not be willing to quicken their pace and unfortunately may be left behind, but as those whom God is holding responsible, we must take them higher. What is the formula? Teach it to them and then compel them through love to teach it to others. This is the ONLY way that we as churches can grow in grace. In order for us to teach it to them, we must know it ourselves. As you read the attachment I will be interested in your perspective. Be Blessed
