Catching up

It has been a little while, sorry no posts, but once you miss one it is so easy to get out of the habit. Kinda like going to church it seems, as we have had a few fall off and drift away. I hate that, but it happens pretty regularly. Was way off on attendance today, guess spring break and prom got them. Pretty lame excuse if you ask me, but I guess it is as good as any other.

For Sunday school we only had thirteen, that is as low as we have had in a while. We studied in the twenty-second chapter of Matthew, verses one through fourteen. In this scripture I tried to illustrate how we must be able to rightly divide God's Word. This scripture is easy to misinterpret, and many Christians have done just that. We must be very careful to always understand that not all scripture is written expressly and doctrinally to us. That is why we have so many different people preaching various things. Someone is failing to fully understand the Word of God and therefor we have confusion among the brethren. The main thing I tried to get across to the kids was that they NEED to be able to read God's Word and know what the Truth is. We have gotten lazy as a people and tend to rely too much on others. We need one on one time with God in His Word everyday! God wants us to both talk to Him(prayer) and listen to Him(reading His Word).

We are busy trying to get camp finalized, Easter services laid out, and tons of other things. This past week we carried the kids to Amory to eat at Pickle's on the hill, fed them Wednesday night, and had a little fun time afterwards. We were off on attendance, but I expected that. We studied in James chapter two verse twenty-three and chapter four verse four. We discussed whether we were friends or enemies of God. When you really look at it it will make you think about what we are doing!

We have a lot going on, like everyone else, just be sure you make time for the important things. The eternal things, like serving our Heavenly Father. Seek Him and His riches! Have a blessed week, keep the Faith, and fight the good fight.
