The Faithful | Feb.

"I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace."

Romans 11:4-5

Elijah was concerned in his day that none would serve God, that he alone was the last faithful preacher. The Lord reassured him that there was still a true remnant faithful to God.

Human history has often been shrouded in darkness, but even in the most desperate times, when the darkness tries to extinguish the light, it fails. The Lord has promised that His church shall always prevail. Persecution will rise and fall in intensity against the people of God, but grace will prove sufficient to weather these storms.

False teachers have come, and the tares will grow among the wheat, but a remnant will always remain. Those who will not compromise and who love the truth. Chosen by God through grace. Let us be numbered among the remnant, who only bow their knee to Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Christ Alone,

Glorified Body

" After my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God."

Job 19:26

There is a slow progression of the outward man passing away, a slow unraveling of our physical nature. Illness bears upon us the vulnerability and weakness of our nature. We can be strong and independent one day and completely dependent upon the assistance of others in a moment. These moments can be discouraging, but it is not the final story.

With the rising of every morning, we are giving a living example that we shall not ultimately destroyed. Every time we become well and rise from the bed of affliction we are given the foretaste of what is yet to come.

Though our skin be destroyed here, it is with this same body we shall stand before God. Christ rose and ascended into heaven with His body and we shall meet God in the resurrection. Christ redeemed our soul and body, both will be made new and dwell with God forever. If you are weary or ill take hope in the promise, that in our flesh we shall see God.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Style | Feb. 7th

"Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another."

1 Peter 5:5

Some clothing brands can be identified by their logo. Jeans, purses, sneakers, and apparel can be recognized by a well-designed and advertised insignia. Some of these designers can be considered high-end clothing. People will spend large amounts of money to portray an image through what they wear. The greater attention should be on the attire of the heart.

There is nothing wrong with being presentable and dressed appropriately for the occasion but may humility be adorned on ever occasion. Humility can be worn by every individual and it is a blessing to all who observe it.

Let us seek the Spirit's ability to create a humble spirit within us and may we show humility towards one another. God has been merciful towards us let us show His mercy towards others.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
