Thought for the Week
Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthains 6:1 -2, ESV).
Working together with Christ, Paul urges his readers to receive God’s grace today! For the only way they could receive God’s grace in vain is if they waited too long, if they postponed their decision to trust Christ beyond their ability to do so.
David Brainerd, the great missionary to the Native Americans, was witnessing to a chief, who was very close to trusting Christ with his life. But the chief held back. There was some pause or hesitation. Brainerd got up, took a stick, drew a circle in the soft earth about the chief, and said, “Decide before you cross that line.”
Why this passion and urgency? Because Brainerd recognized that at that moment, that chief was close to God. If he missed that moment, he might never be so close again (Bruce Thielemann, “Tide Riding,” Preaching Today, Tape No. 30).
If you’re close to giving your life to Christ, do it now! Do it before you no longer want to or have the opportunity to do so.
On July 25, 2000, Air France Concorde flight 4590 crashed on takeoff in Paris. One hundred passengers, nine crew, and four people on the ground were killed when the Concorde banked, went into a stall, plunged to the ground, and exploded on impact in a fireball.
The cause of the crash was a 16-inch strip of metal on the runway that burst the aircraft's tire, with debris from the blowout rupturing a fuel tank in the aircraft's wing. It was too late for the pilot to halt the takeoff. So, with the plane on fire, he planned to make an emergency landing at Le Bourget airport a minute's flying time away.
As investigators sought to discover the reason for the accident, they listened to the tapes of the pilot's conversations with the control tower. His last words as he fought to save his stricken craft were, “Too late” (Owen Bourgaize, Guernsey, United Kingdom).
Please, don’t let those be your last words as one seeking salvation. Trust Christ with your life today before it is eternally too late.

News!
Ladies Bible Study, 7 p.m., every Monday evening. Jaclyn Rummel leads a time of fellowship and study relevant to the issues women face today. She invites ladies of all ages to come and enjoy an evening of fellowship and time in God's Word.
Men of Faith meets at 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. every Tuesday morning in the lobby at Faith Bible Church. "As iron sharpens iron," men are invited to sharpen one another in the middle of each week before work during a time of mutual encouragement, Bible study, and prayer (coffee provided).
Kid's Bible Club, 6:45 to 8:00 p.m. every Wednesday @ Faith Bible Church. We are partnering with Aliento de Vida to provide this ministry to children (k-5th grade), where kids have fun learning the Bible.
Celebrate Recovery, 6 p.m., every Friday at Kings Cross Church (former Presbyterian Church on 221 South Pioneer Street, Lyons, KS), beginning with a light supper in the Fellowship Hall. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Celebrate Recovery is for EVERYONE! No one should have to face their pain alone. We are a grace-filled community of strugglers who courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we have developed to escape our pain may have hurt us and those close to us. It is a biblically based approach to help us achieve long lasting recovery by healing our hurts, guiding us toward new healthy truths, and developing life-giving habits.
