Dear Saints,
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus! Once again, spring has arrived and the air is filled with pollen! Between sneezes we get to enjoy the bloom of the many beautiful flowers God has created.
The Lord continues to bless us with His very real presence as we gather together and seek Him. On the one hand, the more we experience His presence, the greater awareness we have of our many needs. And yet, we also get to experience His amazing love and patience! He knows what He is doing and is right on time.
The lead article, “The Power is Waiting” was the theme of a recent service in which the Lord emphasized the part we play in our spiritual growth. The more we grow, the more we realize the depth of our need, but also the wonderful provision we have in Christ to meet that need.
The article on “Forgiveness” deals with a need we all experience at one time or another. An unforgiving heart is one of Satan’s greatest tactics in seeking to hinder our spiritual growth. God’s grace is more than enough if we are willing.
The reprinted article on the days of Noah is another reminder of what God has told us to expect in the last days before Christ’s return. I’m glad that, even as spiritual conditions in mankind in general grow worse, the Lord is still with His own to the end and will perfectly finish everything God has purposed.
The poem, “Wait,” is a timely reminder that we are on God’s schedule and not ours! We can trust Him in it all.
The Lord continues to open up opportunities for outreach ministry. There is a wonderful opportunity developing to partner with a ministry that ministers to those caught in the trap of addiction, whether to drugs or alcohol. Pray that God will guide every detail.
It’s not that long before convention time will come. This year the folks in Lexington, South Carolina have graciously offered to host it. The dates are June 24-27, Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Pray about joining us — and for the convention itself.
Till next time may God’s rich blessings be yours.
Your brother in Christ,
Phil Enlow
