Isaiah 55:6-7 KJV
[6] Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: [7] let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Over 7 years ago my family moved to Blain at the Lords urging. We wanted to continue having a farm stand to provide a service to the community and instill the value of work in our children. This year has been tremendously difficult. The weather has been one extreme or the other. The weeds are ridiculous. The vermon ate the watermelon. The lopes tasted disgusting. The workers are tired. The bank account just isn't there. We've come up short all across the board, but I will still praise God for the work he's done and continues to do in my family. I will praise him for the mercy of a new day. I will praise him for the preachers he sends, that through the preaching of his word we may believe on Jesus Christ. I will praise him because he is just and worthy to be praised.
A year ago this week I, Garrett Neff, came to the realization that I didnt have this so great salvation. That I was an enemy of God. That if I had died that day, I was condemned to hell. That I was lost.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Jesus Christ paid it all for all of us. That it is possible to have salvation and know it without a doubt.
Everyone's testimony is different. I went to church all my life. Baptized in the church. Profession of faith. But nothing changed. Lived my life how I saw fit. Didn't care of the things of God. Sinned relentlessly with a lifetime of various addictions, until one day, Sept 13, 2024, I saw myself the way God saw me and repented and believed the gospel. Seeing Christ on the throne of grace is amazing. He will abundantly pardon us if we repent and turn to him.
Id like to invite anyone that would like to share in baptism Sunday to do so. My wife and I were both saved in the last year. The service will be held on Back Hollow rd. We will depart from
Manassa Communtiy Baptist Church
