A clear message preached

This morning in church I had an opportunity to hear an amazing message from our 90 year old pastor of emeritus. In other words a retired preacher who speaks from time to time.

His message was simple: there are three guarantees in life. One, we are all going to die unless Christ comes back first. Two, we are all going to face a judgment based on what we did with Jesus Christ. Three, Christ is coming back and we need to be in a place of proper relationship with Christ if we are to spend eternity with Him.

It was so straight forward and he pulled no punches. His words were true: it doesn't matter how much you have done, if you sing in the choir, if you have been a member for years, if you give all your money. What matters is that you have asked Christ to forgive you for your sin. Isn't that the simplicity of God's Word.

He also stated that this message is not often heard, but one that needs to be spoken. I am so glad to hear this man of God preach an incredibly strong message of the Truth. Truth is what sets us free. No one who was in the service this morning could ever say they never knew the Truth.

What a blessing to hear the Word of God preached with boldness!!!

Rev. Reg is SUCH a great guy. Theres only a few people I look up to and want to be like, and he makes it high up on my list. He doesnt know it, but just by speaking like that, he gains so much respect from me! I didn't even hear him speak today but I know it must have been good. He definately knows what he's doing.
