Praise the Lord, God is at Work, all the time. What a great service we had last Sunday. God truly spoke to my heart as I preached on Romans 1: 19-23. There were a few questions concerning verse 20 that I would like to address. What is this verse really saying?
Nature shows us a God of might, intelligence, and intricate detail; a God of order and beauty; a God who controls powerful forces. That is general revelation. Through special revelation (the Bible and the coming of Jesus), we learn about God's love and forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life. God has graciously given us both sources that we might fully believe in him. God reveals his divine nature and personal qualities through creation, even though creation's testimony has been distorted by the fall. Adam's sin resulted in a divine curse upon the whole natural order; thorns and thistles were an immediate result, and natural disasters have been common from Adam's day to ours. In Romans 8:19-21, Paul says that nature itself is eagerly awaiting its own redemption from the effects of sin.
Also, there have been some questions concerning the “Accountable Reimbursement Policy”. The Accountable Reimbursement Policy has been placed in the Records of the church for me, the pastor and any future Staff the church might have. This is something I have to do according to the IRS and to help me with my Salary. The church policy on the “Purchase Orders” is still the same. If someone needs to be reimbursed for something they purchased for the church, please bring you ORIGINAL receipt for the item(s) purchased to the office and the process for the reimbursement will be take place. I pray this has helped you to understand. God Bless to all and have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day.
Brother Wade
