Praise God for an awesome Revival and Soul Saving Meeting!  What we experienced during the meeting was simply a preview of coming attractions.  When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!  And I must tell you, there will be someone there as a result of your efforts in this revival.  Your sanctified labor and travail has not gone unnoticed by Him with whom we have to do.  This Pastor is grateful to almighty God for sending down the revival, to Elder Earl Whittaker for being God’s instrumentality during the revival, to the music department for their songs of praise that lifted the revival into another dominion, to the deacons whose prayers blessed the revival and to the official staff of the church, your tireless work and attention to detail allowed the revival to come together as a beautiful testimony to “A Man called Jesus.”

Dear Ones, please take these two things from the revival:

(1) All that really matters is one’s SALVATION

Ensure your NAME is in the Lamb’s Book of Life

Be blessed as you continue in the Revival.

We are now two days away from our Revival and Soul Saving Campaign. There is an air of expectancy which is the breeding ground of miracles. The Lord is going to do an awesome work in and through this meeting. On last week, we asked of you several things relative to the Revival; on this week, we are asking that you do one thing, PRAY. One prayer, five parts.

Part One: Adoration. We honor Him whose dominion is from everlasting to everlasting. Who is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Part Two: Confession. Confession is good for the soul. Confession warms cold hearts. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Part Three: Supplication. Petition the Lord for the unsaved; for all of four corners. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3, 4). Praise God!

Part Four: Intercession. Pray one for another. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous (person) availeth much.

Part Five: Thanksgiving. Give thanks to God for the awesome work He is going to do in the revival. “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is Good!”

Be blessed as you make your request to God in the name Christ by the Spirit’s help.

I have always been intrigued about how the Holy Spirit prompted the organizers of this church to select the name “Friendship”.  What a warm and, oh so relevant name.  The wise man, Solomon, tells us in Proverbs 18:24: “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:  And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother”.  How aptly named, “Friendship”, for you are indeed a friendly people.  Be it “Theophilus”, friend of God or “Philadelphia”, city of brotherly love, the members of Friendship are a loving, caring people that love God and His people.  For sixty-nine years it has been the mission of this congregation to introduce Christ in a friendly, loving, manner.  For we know that it is the goodness of God that leads man to repentance.  Jesus had some awesome things to say about friends:

(1) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13).

(2) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you (John 15:14).

The embodiment of the Friendship Baptist Church is her obedience to the Christ who died for her.  Happy Birthday Friendship, and let the world know that JESUS IS LORD.<

In the very recent past, the Friendship Church family has experienced the reality of death in a very personal way.  Death, of whom the Bible declares is “the last enemy that shall be destroyed.”  Dear Ones, it is comforting to know that Christ will reign until He has put all enemies under His feet.  We then can join the Apostle Paul in declaring:  “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38, 39).  God loves us with an everlasting love, as evidenced by how He will take a perishable, dishonorable, weak (and sinful) body – “a natural body” characterized by sin – and in the resurrection make it an imperishable, glorious, powerful body, fit to live eternally with Him.  The reality is, in the midst of life, there is death.  Therefore, “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies, and the God of all

comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God “ (2 Cor. 1:3-4).

God! The source our comfort, provides comfort for us that we may c

omfort otherswho are in trouble.  Be blessed as we follow Him.
