"Reaching Forward Together"
Loving God, Loving Each Other, Loving to Share His Story

      Hurricanes Rita, Harvey and Tropical Storm Imelda. Now we are staring at COVID-19. We as the Christian family called Pine Forest Baptist Church are facing this current challenge together with God and each other. It was so encouraging to see so many of you this past Sunday with "Drive-In Church." We are doing all we can to navigate uncharted waters. Our "Captain," the Lord Jesus, will keep us safe in this present storm.
      Haggai 2:6-9: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the Lord Almighty. 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declared the Lord Almighty. 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the Lord Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declared the Lord Almighty."
      Haggai was prophesying about the second Temple rebuilt through the leadership of Zerubbabel (@ 550 BC). Although not as ornate as Solomon's Temple, God's glory would dwell in the second Temple grander than the first. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has shaken the nations of our world. We've never witnessed an event that has affected and infected planet earth. I pray that as the nations are shaken, the end result will be healing, of course, but also, that God will be glorified. I don't need to detail how far our modern times have denounced God's holiness and His Word. In God's Healing of our land, pray that His glory will increase (2 Chronicles 7:14). Stand firm in your faith - our God will carry us through this storm.

Read the Bible through in a year!

    Many of our members have chosen to participate in the "Read the Bible Through" project. In one year you too can read the entire Bible. It takes only about 15 to 20 minutes a day. Just think, you can read every word of God's message to us contained in Old and New Testaments. There are no other testaments or books of doctrine that are from God, just the Bible. Make this year the time your life changed! If you would like to view or print the reading schedule, Click here for "Read the Bible Through in a Year.pdf" (76kb)
