Our Corps Officer (pastor) is away in New Zealand for a well earned holiday and will also attending the Congress. The General Andre Cox and Commissioner Silvia Cox will be the speakers.
We count it a privilege to fill the pulpit on Sunday. We thank God for the strength to be able to minister to our people. How long we will be able to continue at this pace, we don't know, but we leave it all to God. As far as my wife and I are concerned there is no retirement from ministry.
I hear again the words of Paul recorded in 2 Timothy 4: 1-4
"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
