The Church on a Mission

At Amazing Grace Fellowship, we began a new series that will focus on 1 John. Here's some notes:

Series>>> The Mission: Love & Light / 1 John Part 1 [“THE CHURCH ON A MISSION” Selected Scriptures]

INTRODUCTION > Historical Data … The Bible is a “HIM” Book!

> In Scripture: The FOCUS of the Lamb (Old & New Testaments)
> In History: The FACT of the Loving Savior (See Mark 10)
> In Society: The FONDNESS of a Caring Christ (See Matthew 8:1)

THE CHURCH HAS A MISSION . . . IT NEEDS RESHIFTING

*HOW? Philippians 2:5
I. A CALL BACK TO THINKING LIKE JESUS

*THE GOAL?
II. ALIGN OUR THOUGHTS TO THINKING LIKE JESUS

Notice: When Jesus’ Attitude becomes our Attitude>>> See What Happens!
Philippians 2:6-8
HUMBLE AND NON-ARROGANT v6-8

Philippians 2:9-11
HONORING AND BEING HONORED v9-11

Basic Application: 1 John 1:1-3… Explains our Mission

This next Sunday will be the ABCs of 1 John -- meeting at the Anderson's in Bristol!

Reality ... REALLY?

Welcome to the new reality. It's everywhere in our world not just our country. It's been a path we've been on since before the turn of this decade.  Before 2000, it was called untruthfulness but today it has taken many forms. And it escapes from many mouths of people no matter what their stance in this life. News reporters, politicians, store owners, restaurant owners, etc have all adopted the terms. You may even have a co-worker who has adopted the new normal.  Another word beside untruthful has slowly taken center stage in the era we live and that word is "lie". It appears we tell people what they want hear rather than what is truthful. So we hear statements which may include untrue components and when called out about it we hear words like misinformation or disinformation . There's also unverified or unsubstantiated statements. I see there is more claims like these are made by those twisting words to make the subject they spin is true. Reality in 2024 is...

MMB Monday Morning Blog 8-26-24 Seasons

There are four season in the year. In Florida, where I currently live, the season are here too but not like in New Hampshire where I'm from. Florida has HEAT. I remember visiting my parents back in the 90s at their winter home in Wachula around Thanksgiving. We already had snow before our drive south. As we hit Virginia and North Carolina it was apparent we were no longer in the frozen tundra. My parent's mobile home had two bedrooms. It wasn't big enough for us and our two sons. They did, however, have a pop-up trailer under the carport, so it was fine. To stay in a pop-up in Northern New England in late November mas near impossible. You would begin to shiver in about 5 minutes. Nights would reach a low of 0°-20°F. But not so in Florida. After a great Thanksgiving feast we went shopping at the local Walmart. They no longer stay open on Thanksgiving. As I walked into the store I was hit with culture shock. The store was in festive colors and lighting for Christmas but one t...

Monday Morning Blog 4-4-2011

Woke to a cool dry morning and drove family to destinations, visited with a neighbor then Kathy and I got ready to drive to Bristol for her ladies gathering at AGF at 10am. As we went outdoors the cool dry morning was now changed to a snowy, windy colder late morning. It's nearly noon now and the snow seemingly is ready to turn to rain. I am reminded that we are in Northern New England. Weather we can't control, mind input we can. As I write, I am at a public diner where I had a nice breakfast and I'm still sipping coffee. There is activity all over the place here. People coming and going, oldies playing on the radio, phones ringing and even a bit ago some of the staff were chasing a loose dog around (who was finally lured into the office by the owner!). In similiar situations like this, I recall times when people and conversations I heard could cause my mind to wander ... drift toward unhealthy thinking for a Christ-follower. Paul exhorted the Philippian believers to ...
