Video message from Pastor Chris Dodge

Dear Saints from St. Paul (and all who, having eyes to see, can see! – thanks for visiting this site!  God bless you through it!)

Please take time to watch this video message from Pastor Chris Dodge (he preached for my installation here at St. Paul back last September).  This is a most appropriate word for the congregation and the Church at-large.  There are many voices out there and some are “wolves in sheep’s clothing”.  We need wisdom and discernment but we also need repentance – to read ourselves into the message and ask where and how we need to change.  There is abundant grace available from our heavenly Father but we are kidding ourselves if we forget that He is also the Holy and Righteous Judge.  His justice is patiently awaiting our repentance and change of mind and behavior but He has “suffered long” with an apathetic and mediocre version of “Christianity” among many who would like to claim they are following Jesus, but they are not.  It may very well be time for judgment to begin with the household of God (I Pet. 4:17). 

I strongly encourage you to take this message to heart, pass it on to others with the same plea.  Welcome in this “year of the Lord’s favor” because there is a coming “day of vengeance of our God”(Is. 61:2).  Now, as we accept His call to square up with His Word as it address our language, behavior, lifestyle, choices, giving, attitudes and motive, we are allowing ourselves to be “disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world” (I Cor. 11:32).

Thank you!  Repentance is followed by times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19-20).  Jesus is calling!  “Oh, come to the altar, the Father’s arms are open wide!  Forgiveness was bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ!” 

Peace and love in Jesus + Pastor Paul
