Thankful Quotes

Just a few reminders of the blessings of gratitude.



"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

"There should be a parallel between our supplications and our thanksgivings. We ought not to leap in prayer, and limp in praise". - Charles Haddon Spurgeon

"The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reason for rejoicing and thanksgiving all day long.". - Warren W. Wiersbe

 "Each day is a gift from God. What you do with it is your gift to Him."

Services This Week




This week we will meet on Tuesday at 6:30 PM for our mid week service. There will be no children or youth classes, but all are encouraged to join in the sanctuary for a time of worship and thanksgiving.  
In the midst of this busy week, may we be encouraged to stop for a moment to reflect on our blessings, and join in God's house to give Him thanks!

The Christian Soldiers Creed

From Sunday's sermon...The Christian Soldiers Creed

Acknowledging that a Christian soldier is commissioned to be a militant, a fighter, and aggressive warrior in the attack on the “gates of hell,” I must also accept the fact that as a Christian Soldier, my Commander in Chief expects me to engage the enemy on my knees, with a shout of victory. The battle belongs to the Lord.

Never shall I fail my brothers and sisters! I will always keep myself mentally alert, morally straight, and spiritually strong. I will shoulder more than my share of responsibility  in every battle, whatever that may be.

Gallantly I will show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My Christian demeanor, my readiness for battle and the care of my equipment, the full armor of God, shall be an example for others to follow.

Energetically I will meet Your enemies on my knees, Lord. My assigned post shall be the prayer closet. I shall conquer on that field of battle, for I am continually training and will fight with all my might, remembering, “Greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world.” Surrender if not a Christian word!!

I will never leave a wounded brother or sister to fall into the hands of the enemy, and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my fellow warriors in Christ or my Commander in Chief.

Readily I will display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Christian objective and complete my mission, even if I am the lone survivor, knowing that my Commander will never leave me nor forsake me.

Untiringly I will defend the cause of my Commander, on my knees, at my post, knowing that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
