Friday Notes: February 17, 2012

A Few Notes:

  • Our Youth Meetings will be tonight at 7.
  • The Men’s Breakfast Ministry is tomorrow at 8 AM – Sausage gravy, eggs, potatoes,
    and much more [bring a friend].
  • Jr. High Tubing event  9:30 AM.
  • There will be a vocal seminar tomorrow at 10 for those who signed up.

As we look ahead to the Lord’s Day, I will speak on Confirming your Salvation in the morning service.   Ray and Ann Gibbs will provide the special music in the morning service and a sacred music concert at night at 6 PM – invite a friend, these are very special musicians.

I’ve been thinking …

Is it possible for one to “make sure” of their salvation?  Peter used this very terminology in 2nd Peter 1:10 as he wrote his second letter.  I wonder if this was true in Peter’s life after his denial.  Is it possible that such major blow outs in our lives may lead us to question and wonder about our salvation?  Peter expresses concern about his brethren and their personal assurance of salvation.  Perhaps he does this because of the persecution and suffering that was trying their very souls.  When “stuff” happens, we may need to assure our hearts of our own personal relationship with the Living God.   We look forward to the Lord’s Day with you.
