Here Comes 2009 like a Freight Train

The New Year is here... Our prayer is that the Lord will help us Make Disciples this year. We have a heart to see the City Won to Christ. The truth is that TIME passes like a freight train. We need to really be about the work this year. 2009 needs to be a turning point for our ministry here in Galati. God has been so very, very kind and paitent with me this year. I pray that I can be as patient and kind to others this year. As Andrew and I were standing at this RR intersection I really felt the Lord impressing on my that 2009 was going to get away from me if I don't just hit it head on. We have all heard the saying that we can "see the light at the end of the tunnel" I can see that time is not on our side. We have so many people to reach in this city. What the Lord has shown us in the last three years needs to become the focus of 2009. We will keep the good and get rid of the bad. This year is going to be about Making Disciples for Christ. With the world scene unfolding exactly as the Bible predicted, none of us can really say that we have any certianty about anything other then Christ Jesus and our Hope in God the Father who is always full of unfailing love for His children. May this truely be a year that we are making His Kingdom our primary concern. AMEN. The events described in the Bible are much like the train coming down the tracks... At first we were wondering why the warning lights were even flashing as we saw and heard nothing, then we throught we will just go around the barrier because they seemed to be broken....then out of the night sky....like a thief...the train came. The Lord will come...like a thief to those who are not heading the warning and to those who refuse to get off tracks. May this not be so for you my dear friends....heed the warnings....believe the Word and turn from all your sins.
