the empty things disguised as me

the empty things disguised as me

I can’t wait to preach the gospel this Sunday and next.

We are expecting lots of visitors in our services.

With the Children’s musical on Palm Sunday and then another special musical program on Easter we hope to welcome many first time visitors.

(If you are able, try parking in the back of the lot and leaving the better spots for visitors and those who really need them)

Be in prayer for those visitors who may be coming and for all of those members who will be demonstrating the gospel by their speech and conduct.

In preparing to preach, I have been thinking a lot about those who live without the hope of eternal life in the light of Jesus Christ.

The more my heart fills with the great news about Jesus I find my heart more ready to break for those who do not know Him as Savior.

I just heard this song on the radio for the first time in a long time.

The song is called “Sympathy.”

From the first time I heard it, I felt like the lyrics for this song were heart breaking.

It makes me want to share Christ with those who experience this kind of pain.

I killed myself from the inside out

And all my fears have pushed you out

And I wished for things that I don’t need

(all I wanted)

And what I chased won’t set me free

(all I wanted)

And I’m not sure where I belong

And no where’s home and I’m all wrong

And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was

And I wouldn’t be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted

And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me…

There is light, hope, love and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.

Be ready Sunday, and every day, to reach in His name.
