Happy Rebirthday!

August 18th, 2010 | Author: Pastor Dr Van Moore

August is quite a month for me. As I write this, it is my birthday (Aug. 18). Five other relations celebrate their birthdays this month. Not only that, but August 8 marked my wife’s and my 29th wedding anniversary! As marvelous as these landmarks are significant, there is another great day no one should overlook: their spiritual “rebirthday”! Jesus spoke of that to Nicodemus when he discussed “being born of water and of the spirit” (John 3). No one can have life without birth, and so no one can have eternal life without the new birth! Such tremendous truths should make us consider such life changing decisions!

America is Still a Mission Field!

July 31st, 2010 | Author: Pastor Dr Van Moore

America for years has sent missionaries to foreign fields in order to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a world largely unacquainted with the Bible and the God of the Bible. Interestingly enough, however, America itself has become a mission field. Many come to America from foreign lands to establish for themselves the “American Dream.” They have never heard the name of Jesus Christ, much less visited a church. I ran into this situation this very day. A young man from India visited our Vacation Bible School because he had a desire to learn about Christianity. He is a student at a major university here in Virginia, but is curious to know what the Christian religion is about. I attempted to answer some of his questions as I also asked questions about his faith. I asked him to attend my College and Career Sunday School class so we could discuss these matters. He said that he would. Please pray for this young man who has a curious and open heart to learn!

Thoughtful and Thankful

July 21st, 2010 | Author: Pastor Dr Van Moore

With a nation so greatly blessed as America, it becomes all to easy to criticize and critique more than express genuine gratitude for all the material blessings we all experience. Wouldn’t a third-world country resident express shock by walking into a buffet restaurant and see the amazing abundance of food present? The blessings of the Lord are overwhelming and awesome if we simply observe them! If the truth be known, God has been better to us than we ever deserve! The old church hymnal rightly proclaims: “Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!” As the Psalmist said, “Selah”–think about it!

Surprise Party!

July 4th, 2010 | Author: Pastor Dr Van Moore

Suprise Party! The congregation of Faith Baptist Church surprised their pastor’s wife with a birthday party following the evening service on July 4! Sister Moore’s eyes were filled with amazement as she entered the fellowship hall and heard “Happy Birthday” shouted! Ice cream and cake were served, following giving of presents. This was no small accomplishment, because it is difficult task to “pull one over” on Sister Moore! Special thanks to the church folk for a job well done! We love you all!

Freedom Costs!

July 3rd, 2010 | Author: Pastor Dr Van Moore

The Fourth of July approaches. As usual, Americans lose sight of what such occasions represent. We could have no freedom without the sacrifices of thousands of lives to protect our freedoms. We have freedom from sin through the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. As we should remember the brave soldiers who gave their lives so we can possess freedom, may we also remember our Savior Who died for us. May we never neglect the precious gift of eternal life only made possible through Him.

The Lord is good!

June 5th, 2010 | Author: Pastor Dr Van Moore

There are many things in the world about which we become burdened. I am glad, however, that my Bible teaches, “Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world” (I John 4:4). Someone has rightly said, “The world is looking for the undertaker, but I am looking for the UPPERTAKER!” May the Lord help us to continually keep our eyes upon the Lord, Who alone is our strength!
