Precious Families in Monett

These are a few families we were blessed to fellowship with at the Church in Monett.  Our trip will be officially over in the morning when the last two of us drive away...Lord willing.  Sweet fellowship is hard to come by. We enjoyed the brotherly love, and though we may be many states apart we will labor to continue in that love one for another. Thanks be to God for people of like minds.

Sister Merea really loves to can food.  She has been blessed by all the jars that were recently donated to us.



Visiting the Church in Monett

;

We made it to Monett. So far we have been shown much hospitality. We've been taken horse back riding.  And we have gotten to renew our youth with some trampoline jumping :)  I have been very edified here to see large families seeking to be true disciples of Christ. Many men would use the excuse of a family to keep him from going to the streets with Christ's message, but not here in Monett. The men have been faithful to hit the street corners in the cold of night (burrrr) in hopes to touch someones heart with the message of Christ.  They are conveniently located in such a way that they can travel to neighboring states with the Gospel Message.  The women have also been an edification of grace in service, given to hospitality, and happily caring for their families.  Hope to share more in the coming days.

Soul Defense

But the Lord replies, "Because what is impossible with men is possible with God." This again is full of great wisdom. For a man by himself working and toiling at freedom from passion achieves nothing. But if he plainly shows himself very desirous and earnest about this, he attains it by the addition of the power of God. For God conspires with willing souls. But if they abandon their eagerness, the spirit which is bestowed by God is also restrained. For to save the unwilling is the part of one exercising compulsion; but to save the willing, that of one showing grace. Nor does the kingdom of heaven belong to sleepers and sluggards, "but the violent take it by force." For this alone is commendable violence, to force God, and take life from God by force. And He, knowing those who persevere firmly, or rather violently, yields and grants. For God delights in being vanquished in such things.

Welcome To Our Blog

Thank you for visiting our blog.  We hope you will be encouraged and blessed by our offering.  We see a great need in the churches today to stand by Yeshua/Jesus and His doctrine.  Modern Christianity has swerved from the truth (1 Tim 1:6) focusing on doctrines to high for them (Psalm 131:1).  Our hope is to remain humble and focus on the needful and practical things in this walk we share.  We believe that we are not saved by good works but by grace which enables/teaches us to become obedient with unfeigned faith and a love for the Truth.  May we find the strength to deny ourself daily.
