Fall Back to GOD

Acts 3:19 
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"

Today is Day Light Savings Time and we FALL BACK one hour. What if we had "ETERNAL LIFE SAVINGS TIME" and we would all FALL BACK to GOD! It can happen in each individuals heart and mind. Just people turning to God with no hidden agenda. Just a willingness to follow Jesus, total sincerity, and earnestness. FALL BACK to GOD!

We studied the third chapter of the book of Jonah. And, we looked at the Gospel record of Matthew when our Lord and Savior referenced Jonah pointing out the scribes and Pharisees, and the other unbelieving Jews that are there and witnesses to His miracles and preaching all the while knowing the great many prophecies written about Him and fulfilled and they REFUSED to believe! In stark contrast the idolaters who lived wicked lives in Nineveh LISTENED to Jonah, a stranger to them, who did NO miracles to confirm he was sent by God! Jonah only said; "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." The people of Nineveh admitted they were doing things wrong AND they took measures to change their actions! Their "CRY MIGHTILY to GOD" was a recognition and declaration that GOD'S  TRUTH is THE TRUTH. 

Today's verse is the direct and straightforward call to FALL BACK to GOD; "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" One day our troubles will be over. We will be delivered from life to eternal life! We will be in the presence of the Lord; God the Father All Mighty, Jesus the Son, Savior and Great Physician,  and the Holy Ghost the Comforter. It will be the time we truly know bliss and glory!!

Please FALL BACK to GOD with us at one of the oldest Lutheran Churches in the region! It is beautiful! An old stone building with vibrant stained glass everywhere you look. And, ornately carved wood altar and flying pulpit! It is an amazing sight to behold. And, the people are VERY friendly and welcoming. The Pastor's are outstanding and outgoing. We look forward to seeing you in worship.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
