Pastor’s Message
1 Timothy 4:15-16 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Paul mentioned in the previous verses about the things we need to be diligent with and I will quote some of it :v5 By the Word of God & Prayer, v7 Train himself to be godly, v10 To put his hope in the Living God, v12 Set as an example, v13 Devote himself to the Scriptures and more.
With these basic things, we need to be: 1. Diligent 2. fully Dedicated 3. Watch our character 4. patient and endure.
And the promise if we do all these = Our life will be preserve & the lives of others as well. So, as you work hard physically be sure that you are also working hard (diligent) for the things that brings glory to God.
Psalm Reading
Psalm 59:9-17
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[a]
or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
Happy Birthday
