1st Corinthians 16:9 - "For there is a great and effective door opened to me, and there are many adversaries."
It is for the glory of God in His will, that doors of opportunity are opened up to the church of Jesus Christ. However, I've learned that whenever there are opportunities to advance His kingdom, there will be resistance and push-back. It's to be expected...if you are accustomed to fighting the good fight of faith - trust me, it is a fight!
With these opened doors there is something else the Lord will grant the people of God - favor. Let me tell you, favor ain't fair! This event that's about to take place a couple of weeks from now is a glorious opportunity to spread the love of Jesus to a hurting and dying community. Our city is in desperate need for the gospel to be preached, (As they all are); we cannot afford to miss out on such a wonderful opportunity like this.
I believe that for such a time as this, our church has been asked to rise up, make a wall, and stand in the gap for the lost souls of Pasadena TX...although it's a simple fair, filled with family fun, giveaways, and recreation - I believe that it's a wonderful venue for soul-winning!!
Please pray for us as we endeavor to do the will of God, and see to it, that each and every person knows that Jesus is Lord, and that you cannot spell Christmas without Christ!!
