Our new church of a year has celebrated its 175th birthday yesterday. Hearing all the cool history was great and seeing it was cool. This was back before Abraham Lincoln was known. There was a 200 year old Bible from one of the members that was written in Old English. WOW!! As I was taking it all in a whisper kept calling me so much so that I had to tell it here.
~~~ Huge photos of yesteryear blown up huge on either side of me on walls. The eyes are drawing me in and I am trying to hear what they are trying to say to me. Can you hear what they are saying? Could it be the same thing the early church said and echos through the channels of history?
"Keep the faaaaaaith.... Keeeeep the faaaaaaith ..... keeeeeep the faith..... KEEP THE FAITH! Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap a harvest if we faint not. " Galatians 6:9 ~~~
I know a bit "Dead Poet's Society" but that was what I was hearing inside my head. Matthew 24 has been on my mind lately. All around me I see the Love growing cold and it makes me shiver inside. I don't know how are young are going to survive!
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:12&13
What a tall order in these days but I must keep the faith. I must keep the love. I must keep the gratitude. I want that crown of JOY. I want those behind me to see His Path.... and want His Love for themselves....
