It is good to be home. We arrived back in Rogers at about 5 pm, after a 300 plus mile, 6 ½ hours, accident dodging journey home. Just about 5 miles from home there was a terrible accident on 540 that left one person dead and three others severely injured. All we could do was pray.
We got home just in time to participate in the Home Bible Fellowship. We were somewhat exhausted (funny how traveling does that) but very glad we made the effort to get home, particularly because our brother, Michael Ginn (From the Word Ministries), who will be speaking at the church Friday, Saturday and Sunday, decided to come a day early to enjoy the fellowship! We had a blessed time of fellowship around our discussion of A.W. Tozer’s “The Knowledge of the Holy” – chapter 2 asking the question, “What is God Like?” To which Tozer initially responds, “He is not like anything” explaining that we have to understand the incomprehensible, invisible and infinite God in human terms. This is what makes God so glorious. Yet, while being infinite, God has disclosed Himself to us, allowing us to probe, be it ever so shallow, into the depths of His being. We had a lively discussion and brother Ginn brought an added dimension of insight.
With the Texas trip complete, I am now focusing my attention on the events of the weekend as well as looking to the future, both near and far. In July Hope will bring on a second intern (Jake Wyatt) and the men of the church will be participating in a Sunday evening teaching series entitled, “The One Anothers.” As our little church grows, we are faced with all kinds of new challenges from just how to do some things, to expanding areas of ministry.
The Elders of Hope will be meeting on Friday, May 25, devoting the day to seeking vision and direction from the Lord, discussing where we are as a church and where we should be according to God’s Word.
These are blessed days and let us never neglect or take our eyes off of Jesus, the head of the Church and Lord of our lives.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Pastor Ed
