Norma and I had a great evening at Rock Springs church in Milner Georgia. We go down to that little church on occasion when they have a singing group / personality that we know. Last night it was the Hoppers. This family from North Carolina has been singing as a group for over fifty years. Now, some of the singers aren’t yet fifty, so you might ask how they accomplished that. You see, at first there were the Hopper Brothers; then they added Connie; and after some kids came along, they added Dean and Michael and Kim Greene to the group. The music was great.
It seems like I always pick up a thing or two when I attend one of these. Well, I picked up a part of a Claude Hopper saying … so I will share it with you: “The mighty oak once was only a seed that held its ground.” The application is that we need to hold our ground and not compromise on the Word of God. That’s a big order in this world where people want us to “coexist”. Folks, if we coexist, mankind will cease to exist. Jesus said that He and He alone is the way, the truth and the Life. That is our message – and we need to hold our ground.
Pastor Benny Tate shared Hebrews 13:8:
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
We get caught up focusing on our yesterdays and our forever – and sometimes forget that Jesus is the same today. We are not alone in our journey. God didn’t promise us an easy life – no, Jesus actually told us that our life would be difficult. But He has not wavered and will not waver. Whatever you may be going through this morning, Jesus is right there with you in your heartache, your joy, your trial, your whatever. Turn to Him right now and ask Him to hold you tight. I know He will.
Agape’
