What a great Sunday we had last week. The Baby dedication was awesome, the signing was right from Heaven, and the Message touched many hearts. It was a great day for all you Mom’s out there and I pray you had a great day.
Dr. J.B. Gambrel tells an amusing story from General Stonewall Jackson’s famous valley campaign. Jackson’s army found itself on one side of a river when it needed to be on the other side.
After telling his engineers to plan and build a bridge so the army could cross, he called his wagon master in to tell him that it was urgent the wagon train cross the river as soon as possible. The wagon master started gathering all the logs, rocks and fence rails he could find and built a bridge. Long before day light General Jackson was told by his wagon master all the wagons and artillery had crossed the river. General Jackson asked where are the engineers and what are they doing? The wagon master’s only reply was that they were in their tent drawing up plans for a bridge. From the Pulpit Helps, May, 1991
Kind of makes you think doesn’t it. There are some who spend more time planning than they do building. As a church, we will always make plans to do things. However, when something needs to be done, we all need to go to work and get it done. It will take everyone here at New Bethel to build a great Church for God. We already have the plans in the Word of God. Let’s rise and build and make God proud.
