Dear One,
Please join this pastor during the month of March and become part of “March Gladness”. We will turn the tables on the Evil One and use a term taken from the lexicon of the sports world. Whereas Satan perverts, we shall glorify. By definition, glad is “feeling, or characterized by pleasure or joy; happy; pleased”. With that definition in mind, during the month of March, every day, think about what makes you glad then praise God for your “gladness”.
The Psalmist says in Psalm 70:4: “Let all those that see thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.” God’s deliverance of His servant will give joy (make him glad) to all who trust in the Lord, because they see in it the assurance of their own salvation. Moreover, one can be glad because His saving help is sure, and it is effective. This Pastor is glad he is saved and that he has a right relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. We are glad that God sent this preacher to F.M.B.C. as its Pastor.
On today, I am sure you can join the Psalmist and this pastor in our delight in the house of the Lord. “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.” (Psalm 122:1) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Let the church say Amen.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
