    Listening to the Modern Prophets

    Churchwide

    Sunday Summer Schedule


    Begins Sunday, May 17

    As Christians, we are all familiar with the Old Testament


    prophets and how they boldly spoke for the Lord as He
    called cultures to accountability. We have Isaiahs in our own
    day who speak to our sinful nation, a people laden with
    iniquity who have forsaken the Lord and despised the Holy
    One of Israel (Isaiah 1:4).

    Beginning Sunday, May 17, we will go to our Sunday


    Summer Schedule of one service at 9:30am. All 9:30am
    BLGs will be moved to 11:00am.

    It was three years ago this past week that God called our
    good friend and church member, Chuck Colson, to Heaven.
    Perhaps no other man in recent history has held such a
    prophetic voice with such intellectual power. He wrote, The crises that threatens
    us, the force that could topple our monuments and destroy our very foundation,
    is within ourselves. The crisis is in the character of our culture. How we miss
    his clarion call, abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good (Romans 12:9).

    Have you placed your faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior and
    not yet professed your faith through believers baptism?
    This is a perfect opportunity. Please call Linda at 5968600 x280 to register. You can also stop by our Beach
    Baptism table in the Commons for more information.

    David Wilkerson also attended our church some years ago while in Naples. You
    remember him as the street preacher in New York City who wrote, We live in
    the most wicked time in history. Our present generation is many times worse
    than that of Sodom. We are more stiff-necked than the nation of Israel, more
    violent than in Noahs day. In what he called a cultural tsunami, he noted, If
    ever there was a time the world needed godly saints of intense faith, it is now.
    The great theologian, Carl Henry, spoke of the twilight of our culture.
    The brilliant thinker, C. S. Lewis, spoke of bad rulers as being neither very
    wise nor very good. As we live in a postmodern society, culture and even
    government are not only post-Christian, but anti-Christianity. The erosion of
    moral absolutes and the denial of ultimate truth has created a great vacuum of
    leadership, discernment, courage, and sanity.
    Christians who are in the world must not be of the world. We are twiceborn
    people in the world of the once-born. We are called to not be carnally-minded
    but spiritually-minded. As Jesus asked His disciples, When the Son of Man
    comes, will He find faith on earth? We exercise practical, biblical faith as we
    trust the Lord. Chuck Colson warned that we were only one generation away
    from being barbarian.
    Parents and grandparents must pass on the baton of faith. In our study in
    Genesis, Jesus predicted that He will return in a day like that of the days of
    Lot, as they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planning and building.
    But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from
    Heaven and destroyed them all; so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is
    revealed. We dare not look down in despair, but look up in hope, while at the
    same time looking around to witness to those who need to repent before it is too
    late. Light shines brightest in the darkness as we contrast our Christian integrity
    with the worlds depravity. Gods modern prophets of truth do not prophesy
    falsely (Jeremiah 5:31) but say, Let us fear the Lord our God (Jeremiah 5:24).
    *There is a guest reception in the Commons following the Saturday night and
    Sunday morning 11:00am worship services. Pastor would love to meet you!
