Well, the next chapter in the saga of the patriotic musical is about to be written. It was about a year ago when one of our members was on Morgantown AM sharing our disappointment with not being able to share the musical at the Amphitheater as we had been promised. Yesterday, I was on the same local radio show inviting people to attend as we honor the flag, salute our veterans, and acknowledge God as the Sovereign over all. I am praying that everything goes according to God’s plan, that we get to share the musical next Monday, and that the Lord will bring a wonderful crowd out to see and hear it. I hope all of you will come if you are not already in the group and bring some people with you.
Just moments ago I received a call informing me that WAJR was not including our concert in the line-up of events for July 4 at the Amphitheater. They are mentioning everything else but us. Hmmmm. I responded by calling John Pyles and he said he would call the radio station and get that corrected. The struggles we have had to pull this off again have been numerous, but I should not be surprised.
The enemy does not want us to be in that very beautiful, public place boldly proclaiming “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Glory to the Lamb! Amen.” That is exactly what we will be doing next Monday starting at 3:00 p.m. It should come as no surprise that he would oppose us at every turn, and he has, but we move forward believing in our God.
Maybe there is some matter that you firmly believe the Lord has led you to deal with, something that needs to be said, something that concerns His kingdom in the hearts and lives of someone you know, maybe even yourself. At every turn you face struggles and discouragement. It seems as though the end is no where in sight, and that even if you are able to make it to the end of this leg of the journey, it will not be pleasant. Take heart. The eternal glory that is the product of our light and momentary struggles far outweighs them. Labor on brave heart. The Lord is calling us to take up our cross which will require us to die daily to our passions, hopes and dreams, that we may live for His.
I am looking forward to the end of the journey, and will continue on this road until I reach the end. I am also looking forward to writing to you next week about what the Lord is going to do next Monday. What are you looking forward to? Whatever it is, be certain it informs the way you live. More on that next week.
IN CHRIST,
Pastor Scott
