Romans 13:11, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” moves through my mind often as opportunities abound.

 March 1st, 2023 Above Picture: Pastor and Mrs. Codner - Grace Baptist Church, Spring Mills, PA (Great Revival) Print This Update Dear Family and Friends, BETTER IS LITTLE WITH THE FEAR OF THE LORD When we find ourselves thirsting for more in this life, Proverbs 15:16 delivers to us a valuable lesson, “Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.” If God has blessed you with much…fear the Lord, and don’t trust in uncertain riches. If you have little…fear the Lord, and keep resting in your Great Provider for provisions. You can also add Proverbs 22:4 to the mind, “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life.”  TAKE NOTE: This will be our last mail out until MAY 2023 due to travels and being away from access to our office. You can still receive our monthly updates via email. Those emails have a link to a printable copy. If you are receiving monthly updates in the mail box and wish to fully move to the email update...

PRINT THIS UPDATE February 2nd, 2023   THE JOY OF FACE TO FACE TIME 2 John 1:12 reminds us of the importance and joy of face to face time as the Scripture reads, “Having many things to write unto you, I would not write them with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.”  It’s truly amazing to ponder the fulness of joy that is received by gathering together around the things of the Lord. We rejoice over where we have already been, and we look forward to where we are heading by the grace of God. Please continue to rejoice with us over all God is doing and what we believe He will do. We are trusting Him for great and mighty things!  HIGHLIGHTS FROM JANUARY We were blessed with wonderful events in Alaska! We had a great VBS and Sundays during our time in Alaska.
