I Have Made You
A Light To The Gentiles,
To Bring Salvation To The Farthest Corners Of The Earth
Last week while I was greeting out at the front of the church I met a young man named Will. Robert Roush works with Will and Rob invited Will to church! I am so proud of our young people! Every week more and more people are coming to Christ Fellowship because our people have invited them. Who is on your invite list? You and I are the light of the world! Please Keep Reading
Scripture
47 For the Lord gave us this command when he said,
‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles,
to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’
Observation
Kathy
and I have spent most of our married life first preparing for the mission
field, (me eight years of College, University, and Seminary, Kathy, Nursing
school + 4 kids) and then finally
serving our Lord in Mexico, Spain, Morocco, and Cuba as missionaries.
It
has now been over 12 years since we left Mexico, and not being able to go back
still kills me. Last night Kathy and I watched a movie called “McFarland”
starring Kevin Costner and it brought back so many memories of Mexico and the
other places where we have served!
Dr.
Tommy Green, now the new Executive Director of the Florida Baptist Convention,
held a meeting last week in Lakeland for pastors where he shared his vision for
Florida Baptists. The most important thing he shared for me was this, “with the
changes we are making in our convention structure we will be able to send more
money next year to the International Mission Board, enough to put 20 more
missionary families on the mission field.
I
was so excited to hear this news!
You
and I are the light to the world. We are the light to those around us where we
work and where live.

Application
I
will remember today that I am a light to those who live around us. How about
you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I am amazed at what You are doing through Your people at Christ
Fellowship. Help us to do more. Help me to do more. Help us send out and help
us support missionaries financially. Give us a bigger heart for missions. Thank
You for Dr. Tommy Green. Give others in leadership the same kind of heart.
I
pray for our church leadership as they prepare for tomorrow. Give them rest and
time with their families today so that they will be ready for tomorrow!
