God Knows His Way Out of a Grave

Recently, research has been released that indicates that most Evangelical Churches are in serious decline. Chuck Kelly, President of the New Orleans Baptist Seminary, has stated that less than 12% of congregations are actively growing and baptizing new converts.

Add to this news, the astounding challenges we face as a nation--morally, politically, economically, and militarily--and we could become deeply discouraged. However, I’m not ready to give up on our nation, because, as G. K. Chesterton once said, we worship a “...God who knows the way out of the grave."

Whatever situation that you are facing now can be met by Jesus, because He knew his way out of the tomb. The tomb is empty.

Next month we will celebrate Easter on April 12. As “Resurrection Sunday” approaches, I pray we will not forget who and what is really being celebrated. Jesus died and is now alive. Death has been defeated. Anything done to celebrate Easter should focus on Jesus and the resurrection. It is all about Him.

God is blessing His church through people who are faithfully giving and attending and praying and witnessing and encouraging. May we never forget who is important. Everything we do at FBC Leakesville is all about Jesus.

So, don’t miss the opportunities to celebrate Easter by attending Bible Study, Worship, and the Easter Musical presented by the choir on Sunday, April 5 at 6:00 PM.
