“In regards to reaching people for JESUS – one of the main concerns for the Church everywhere is that we often do not look like what we proclaim to do!”

“JESUS said in Luke 4:18-19, “The SPIRIT of The LORD is on ME, because He has Anointed Me to Proclaim Good News to the Poor. He has Sent Me to Proclaim Freedom to the Prisoners and Recovery of Sight to the Blind, to Set the Oppressed Free, to Proclaim The Year of The LORD’s Favor.”

“We make these Great Claims for CHRIST, but there is often a Credibility Gap between our Words and our Actions! Follow CHRIST’s Example 24/7,” Pastor Bob Harris

 

“Now Hope does not disappoint because the Love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by The HOLY GHOST which is given to us.” Romans 5:5

“The springs of Love are in GOD, not in us. It is absurd to look for the Love of GOD in our hearts naturally, it is only there when it has been shed abroad in our hearts by The HOLY SPIRIT.” Oswald Chambers

 

“But earnestly desire the Best Gifts. And yet I show you a more Excellent Way. Though I speak with tongues of men and of angels, but have not Love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.” I Corinthians 12:31-13:1

What we do out of our natural love may be altruistic but it is not eternal. What we do because The HOLY SPIRIT exercises the Love of GOD through us is eternal. As we yield our will and obedience to GOD His Love will work through us to reach others, especially the lost. Seek GOD First! GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene
