Words from the Pastor
Welcome to the last RFFD competition of 2019! Next month we’ll have our End of the Year RFFD Banquet and Awards Ceremony so please don’t miss that. All of these competitors have worked really hard to get here and we are so proud of them. They have run the race and here we are at the finish line! What a blessing!
Isn’t it great to know that God doesn’t look on the outside and choose us that way? If He did, I would never have been chosen to do what He has been doing through me all these years. He’d of chosen someone with a better education or someone that could think and speak better under pressure, or a better public speaker…on and on and on. But He didn’t. He chose me to make a difference in people’s lives through sharing the Gospel with them. I want you to know that in doing that, sharing with folks, I am blessed and grow beyond any of my wildest dreams! I still have a long way to go but God is faithful and He will get me there one day!
If we think back to the men that Jesus chose when He was calling the disciples, they weren’t men you and I would pick to change the world. They were fishermen, tax collectors and pretty much no-bodies until Jesus showed up on the scene. Jesus was looking at the inside, I would have been looking on the outside. Jesus knew their hearts; He knew they were teachable and He knew that they could get the job done!
In reality, even after they had been with Jesus for 3.5 years and He told them everything that was going to happen, they still failed miserably! They tripped and fell and went back to their old ways and even went as far as to deny Him. But Jesus knew this and instead of judging them He looked on the inside. He didn’t see what they were, He saw what they could be! And He’s doing the same with you and me! Please understand, He knew you were going to be here at Canelo Cowboy Church today at RFFD. He sees what you are today and what you can be tomorrow! He knew you from before you were born and He wants to have a personal relationship with you. He wants you to have the peace only He can give. “Turn it over To Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”
