Take time now to review your life, confess your sins before God

Today is Lord's Supper Sunday at Primera Iglesia Bautista and preparation must be made. The Deacons have prepared, the Pastor has prepared and I trust you have prepared. This Ordinance of Jesus comes with instruction that it be observed in remembrance of Him but also a warning that we not take it "unworthily". "Unworthy" observance is to participate in the ordinance while harboring unconfessed sin in our lives. Doing so is to invite God's punishment for our insolence. Take time now to review your life, confess your sins before God, repent of your sin and ask for forgiveness. Done? Now you're ready.

27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 For he who drinks and eats in unworthy manner eats and drinks judgement to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.  1 Corinthians 11:27-30 (NKJV)

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)

Are you “on schedule” with God or are you running late? If not; today is a good time to start catching up!

1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.   Isaiah 51:1-2 (KJV) The art or process of mapping a journey overland, sea, air or space requires the use of fixed or known reference points along the route.   It naturally begins with a starting points and the identification of a destination.   When covering large distances “way points” are established to (1) measure distance traveled and for (2) course correction to ensure one is still on the planned route.   Way points are also places where one can restock supplies, rest and refit for the journey.   The Hebrews of Isaiah’s time had a “history” with God and here He calls them for a stroll down memory lane.   Modern day Believers also have a “history” with ...
