Matthew Henry has written:
"If therefore our houses be houses of the Lord...
You Walked Into the Bullet's Path
This is a meditation I wrote a couple months ago (but never posted) after seeing a man try to shoot and kill another man right in front of my house from about 15 feet away. Miraculously, no one was hurt.
So what if you had no idea you were in the bullet's path. Dead is dead. "What might have been" became irrelevant the instant the trigger was pulled...

Worship Preparation | Joel 2:28-3:21
This Sunday completes our series of looking to Jesus from the minor prophet Joel. Come prepared to meet with the Lord and with one another in prayer, Word, song, Lord's Supper, and fellowship.
Here are a few statements to help spur our thoughts for Sunday in Joel 2:28-3:21

God is God. There are no idols. There are no other gods.
The gospel demands to inform the way the believer understands everything.
Believing the gospel is different than thinking right thoughts about a few things. Believing in Jesus the Lord is to embrace the Lordship of Jesus over all of you. This, of course, includes the way you process an understanding of false beliefs and pagan worship practices.

Worship Preparation | Joel 2:12-27
Lord willing tomorrow morning we continue our short series in Joel worshipping Jesus in ch. 2:12-27. As you continuing preparing your hearts for tomorrow consider these three statements.
- While in the midst of God's remedial judgment, He commands us to
return to Him and the only way we may do so is through Jesus Christ (v12-13)
- The only acceptable disposition of returning to the LORD is
repentance that is moving towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ (v12-17)
- Those who come to God through Jesus Christ will be eternally satisfied with Jesus (v18-27)
Tomorrow's People group we are praying for:

Who & Why Does God Save? Psalm 106:8
"Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name, that He might make His power known." - Psalm 106:8
There are four parts to this verse:
- "Neverthless" -- That is, "in spite of" whatever precedes.
- "He saved them" -- Salvation is only God's doing.
- "For the sake of His name" -- Salvation is for God.
- "That He might make His power known" -- Salvation is a display of God's mighty power.
Meditate with me...
