"To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb,
be blessing and honor and glory and dominion
forever and ever."
~Revelation 5.13
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As I read the book of Revelation and consider the frequent scenes of worship at the throne of God, I remember another Scripture, 1 John 4.8, "God is Love". How easily worship flows in the presence of Love. We love because He first loved us; we worship because He first loved us, and we worship in the Presence of Love. Blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever to One whose love blesses us, honors us, glorifies us, and grants us dominion as His servants, in Jesus' Name.
May Jehovah keep us mindful that we live and move and have our being in Love at all times. May our thoughts, words, and actions spring from a desire to honor such a wonderful Savior and Friend. May we be found taking refuge in the Lord, for God knows those who take refuge in Him.
Please remember you are not alone. Let others know when you have needs; how else can we exercise the "one another" commands in Scripture except by sharing life together in Christ? We reject the spirit of fear; it is not from our Father. We pray for the city's welfare in Christ each Friday morning, 8:30-9:30 in Kenmore.
Here are some specific prayer requests and church news items for us:
