Every morning I receive an update from Believe His Prophets

encouraging me to read or listen one chapter from the Bible. The
initiative of our church leaders is to get people into the Word.
A friend of mine says there are two kinds of people in the church
(1) those who follow TV preachers and listen to conspiracy theorists, and
(2) those who read the Bible and study for themselves. While it may be
a bit exaggerated statement, as there are more subgroups like people
who do not read, do not watch YouTube preachers, and there are those
who do both, watch media and also study it would greatly benefit our
church family when everyone gets into the Word.
Back in 2011 we set 5 goals before the congregation, and the banner
in church is there to remind you that one of the goals was Read the
Scripture. Heres why I am repeating myself on this subject the Bible:
Evangelism is about sharing the message of Salvation and the Bible is
the text. If we do not have or know the Word, we have nothing to share.
Sharing personal feelings and experience, even if it is a positive one
about your own repentance and conversion, is still not enough. The
Word of God, the Bible is the safeguard for all believers.
Last week I wrote in the blog to you that the top priority outlined by the
President Ted Wilson, is getting every church member involved in
evangelism and witnessing. And as the step in that direction getting
immersed in the Word of God is essential. At the Board meeting we
discussed what would it take for us to become an Evangelistic church,
where the culture of evangelism, culture of witnessing, culture of
befriending people and introducing them to Christ would become evident.
The recommendation emerged that we must start praying for it. In
addition to dwelling in the Word of God, we must also pray for the Holy
Spirit to motivate us, use us, move us to do His Will. I appreciate us
coming together Wednesday nights, but the prayer initiative needs to
grow beyond, and involve more people praying for the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit in our church, praying for the Holy Spirit to involve all people in
ministry. As we continue united in Prayer remember this advice from the
Spirit of Prophecy: Just as long as the church is satisfied with small
things, it is disqualified to receive the great things of God (Home
Missionary, November 1, 1893 par. 25). However, in another place we
are told, [God] is well pleased when they [us! our church] make the very
highest demands upon Him, that they may glorify His name. They may
expect large things if they have faith in His promises (DA. 668).
your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
