The New Year, for most people, is a time to set new goals, make resolutions, attempt to become a better person, or start afresh. We, the congregation of the COGWC, are placing emphasis in 2012 on discipleship.
Scripture says, to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the Heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). When the disciples of Jesus were ready, He gave them power and sent them out to preach the gospel and heal the sick (Luke 9:1-6). To some who are ready, this is what Jesus is telling us to do.
At this time, there is a sense of urgency to get beyond ourselves and move toward the high calling of God, which is to preach the Good News of the Gospel, and to go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in so that God's house may be filled (Luke 14:23)...to a place of safety.
This is our goal in 2012, "...forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14). We are trying our best to make it to Heaven, and to take everyone we can with us. It's time to lay aside self-centered attitudes, and get on the meat and off the milk. Hebrews 5:14 says, "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age." Are you ready? Will you join us?
