LOST PEOPLE ARE REALLY....LOST!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:16-18)

Last week I met with a man, a dying man. He is nine years younger than I and totally disabled because of debilitating pain and severe medical conditions that will kill him, and probably soon. And He is lost, really lost! He has not yet believed in Jesus Christ for salvation and, therefore, he is condemned before God. Our church helped him with a utility bill (thank you, RBBC family, for your generous benevolence giving), but he is still living in darkness and lost. I keep thinking about him and praying for him and will call soon and try to get with him again because he needs Jesus. Will you pray that he will humbly repent and trust in Christ for his rescue? If you are praying, please let me know in the “comments” section, and share how I can pray for a lost one whom the Lord has burdened you for.

Being Members of One Another In Christ and Genuine Love: Rejoicing and Weeping (Romans 12:5, 9, 15)

On October 18 when I preached from Romans 12 on a Biblical understanding of church membership, the sermon was not exhaustive when I spoke about letting love be genuine in our body of Christ relationships.  Being members of one another “in Christ” with Christ as our very life, we are called to love, too, by rejoicing and weeping with one another.  Being in Christ together, we feel genuine joy or sorrow when our brothers and sisters are rejoicing or weeping.  Jesus in us moves us to celebration and weeping by His Spirit.

God has blessed us at Rocky to weep with our church family in recent weeks.  Yes, it is a blessing because the love of Christ has been shown to be very real and comforting.  Two RBBC couples have experienced the death of a child.  Richard and Theresa Pate’s daughter, Kelli, died unexpectedly after 40 years on earth.  Greg and Lauren Tomaschko’s son, Jonathan, died expectedly, at age 40 minutes.  And we wept with both families because we love them in Christ.  Both families are looking to the Lord for His strength and comfort, resting in the truth of His Word.  Please continue to pray for and love them.  Also, please be aware of the Tomaschko family’s blog where you may share in their experiences with their precious son, Jonathan-- 

www.jonathansbabyjournal.blogspot.com.  Their testimony resounds to the glory of God and is one to pass on to others!

This week the Rocky family has another opportunity to weep with those who weep.  Jon and Julie Baum have been foster-parenting two wonderful children, Edgard and Nicole, whose mother, Anna Marie Benjamin, died last week.  A memorial service for Anna, with Jon leading it, will be on Friday afternoon, October 23, at 4:00 P.M. in Genesis Hall.  Please pray for all the Baum family, including Edgard and Nicole.

THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE OF JESUS

This great hymn, written by S. Trevor Francis in 1875, came to my mind as I prepared to preach on “John 3:16 Evangelism” last week.  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).  What unspeakable love of the Father and the Son!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!

Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!

Underneath me, all around, me, is the current of Thy love

Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!

How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth nevermore!

How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;

How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!

‘Tis an ocean full of blessing, ‘tis a haven giving rest!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ‘tis a heaven of heavens to me;

And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!
