Purity 316: Encouragement for the Path of Christian Discipleship

 

Purity 316 01/17/2021 

Good morning!

Today’s stunning photo comes to us from True North Counseling Ministries (https://www.facebook.com/True-North-Counseling-Ministries-105784151322070).  

I share it because it’s an awesome photo and I wanted to highlight the good work that they do. In our current environment many may need counseling. They offer online sessions, and their rates are very affordable.     

I don’t normally post on Sundays, as you may know, but my church’s corporate fast continues and so will the encouragement. We end a week from today and, so far, my fast has been very rewarding.  Dedicating the time that I would normally use to eat to draw closer to the Lord has truly blessed me.

Today I continue to share Dr. Neil Anderson’s “Twenty “Cans” of Success”, to encourage my friends that are fasting as well as those who aren’t.  

13. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always, and will never leave me nor forsake me (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5)?

 Our success is built on knowing that God is with us.  

 This is key. If your concept of God is distant or abusive, I encourage you to seek Him by reading the New Testament to see that He sent His Son to draw us close to Him. 

 Through my rocky journey to freedom, many people deserted me or let me down. The only one who never did was God.  He is calling all of us into His kingdom.  We only need to turn to Him to discover that He has been with us always and we can rest assured that He will never leave us of forsake us. 

 I encourage all who read this to praise and worship Him today at your church or in your own way. 

 Due to a possible exposure to Covid-19 from someone outside of our church community, the Rock Solid Church leadership has suspended in person gatherings at the church for the next week, including today’s scheduled worship service.  However, the leadership does plan on posting a “virtual teaching” on the Rock Solid Church YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/c/RSCHudsonLive

 (There is More at the restricted blog). Follow me on Twitter, MeWe, or Parler for easy access.  Blog M T 4 Christ dot org – This is where the Facebook post ends.)

It being Sunday, I am going to give myself a rest from the second portion of the blog today. 

It is my prayer that all who see this have a wonderful day and to use part of it to worship the Lord in their own way.

God bless you all!
