“Each man thinks every man is mortal but himself.  Each man thinks every man is guilty but himself.”
 

You say, “Well, John, what do you do? If I look into my heart and I see in my heart that I’m not right with God and I know the truth and I’m playing the religious game and I may be condemning the sin in others and knowing that it’s all boiling within me and I’ve restrained it for the sake of my self- righteousness, and I know that God knows it all and when God sees it all He’ll send me to hell, what do I do? How do I escape?” There’s only one place and that’s to run to Jesus Christ because the Lord Jesus Christ has already paid the penalty, hasn’t He? He’s already received the judgment of God.  
John MacArthur

Church Work Day

Although the work day is over a month away, this is a good time to update your calendars so you don’t miss the opportunity to help out around our church building.  Work days are also a good time of fellowship.  Our next work date is Saturday, September 27 so make a note and plan on joining us on that date.

Pastor’s Postscript

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he IS a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Three weeks ago, my trip to the dentist indicated I needed a crown on one of my teeth.  After preparing the tooth and making impressions, a temporary crown was put into place.  Its purpose is to serve as the new  tooth until the real crown is ready.

The preparation work the dentist did on my old tooth was to prepare the way for the new one.  Now, with the temporary crown, the new one has come.  Although not yet perfect in itself, it is both an example of, the beginning of, and the assurance of the new tooth.

When the Holy Spirit worked his work of regeneration in my life, he took up residence in my life, making me a new creation.  My changed spiritual nature is an example of the perfect spiritual nature of Christ.  My new life is the beginning of an eternal life.  And His presence is an assurance of a fully new life.

Without any disrespect toward the Holy Spirit, my present condition is somewhat like that temporary crown.  A new life has begun.  An eternal new life is assured.  It will come in time.

May the Lord bless you this week!
