New Message Series

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.  Psalm 33:12

This message series will begin on July 4th and will cover some very passionate issues of mine...God and His rightful place in our Nation and our Christian society.  Our founding fathers original intentions were to create a nation that honors God and exalts the Creator!  We have, over the last 230 years, digressed into a nation that is in many ways an abomination to our Creator!  How do we take it back?  It won't happen through legislation, politicians, laws, or rules to follow.  It will only begin one heart being humbled before God at a time!  2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

We can, right here in Malden, begin to turn the tide...One soul at a time, One decision at a time, One family at a time.   We can either continue to let our nation go downhill, we can complain about it, or we can begin to be part of the solution!  Let's begin a revolution!

Love to See You at First General Baptist Malden!

Motivation for Community

"In God We Trust"
When the Founding Fathers were deliberating over the wording of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson brought his manuscript to the meeting.  He had worked tirelessly all night to get everything just right; when he read it to the rest of the men...they were in awe of the power, majesty, and eloquence of the words, except for 1 thing; they wanted God to have more emphasis.  After further discussions they included 2 more references to our country's promised Trust and devotion to Almighty God.  On one hand the document declared independence from their former dictators and at the same time declared dependence upon God!

I ask you to consider..."Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6
The strength and continued blessing on American will be found in our level of "Trust" and "Honor" of Almighty God...not on our ability to elect the right president, adopt the right laws, or create a perfect economy!
 
Trust in the Lord!!!

Love to see you at First General Baptist in Malden this Sunday!
