Welcome To First Baptist Church of Lamar
Dear First Family and Friends,
As I am typing this article, we have two major opportunities of Gospel witness events coming up rather quickly. Faith, Family, and Fireworks is approaching its eight year of ministry. Thinking about the “how” we do Gospel witnessing, I am reminded of Jesus’ words to His disciples. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35). Demonstrating Christ’s love to one another and to those who attend will produce Gospel witnessing and please the Father.
The other opportunity is Vacation Bible School, July 6-10. Once again, we demonstrated Gospel witnessing by our love. All will know we are Christ’s disciples by our love for one another. Christ likeness is displaying the fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-23, “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Let us be intentional in showing love in these two events.
Keeping the Main Thing, the main thing,
Pastor Robb
