It is true that there are some who do not need to respond. But on the other hand, there are those who need to respond to our Lord’s invitation.
- Those who need to respond need to, today, because they have rejected all the other invitations the Lord has allowed to be extended to them.
- No one has a promise of even one more invitation after this one.

Examine yourself, assess your spiritual condition, submit to God’s will and you can be forgiven of the sins you have committed and be saved. We instruct as all have been commanded to obey, believe in God (Hebrews 11:6) and His Son, Jesus the Christ (Matthew 16:16).
We exhort you to “repent and turn to God” (Acts 26:20) and to “confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord” (Romans 10:9).
In Acts 2 we read of “those who had received” the words of God’s message through Peter and how they “were baptized” (Acts 2:38, 41).

Ignorance and inexperience with grief, especially that which accompanies the loss of a mate, makes it difficult (if not impossible) to minister effectively to those trying to live after loss.…
But, who are we? Paul says we are “earthen vessels”(NKJV, NASB95), “jars of clay” (ESV, NIV84). Long ago, Job asked God, “Remember now, that You have made me as clay” (Job 10:9). You and I carry about in our frail mortal bodies a light derived from the central source of light, Jesus Christ. Paul said that it is in order “to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Corinthians 4:7b, ESV)
People are hurting. In John 13:34-35 we are called to love one another. Love is the reason we are here. Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that…
God has given us the opportunity to make a difference in our community. That difference starts with who we are — how do we treat one another. In 1 Thessalonians…
Today, if you and I are to have any part in Him, we must allow Him to wash us in the waters of baptism, even as the early Christians did.
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3–6
