Rapture

Well, according to the media, the rapture will be occuring tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, there are still so many people who aren't prepared for this to happen. You see, the Bible tells us that those who don't put their faith and trust in Jesus will perish and spend eternity in Hell (yes it is a real place). The mathematicians who calculated the return of our Savior apparently have never read the part of the Bible that says that no man knows when Jesus will return. I feel sorry for those lost people who believe that this is an occasion for celebration when in reality it will be a time of great sorrow for them. If we knew that the rapture was for sure going to happen tomorrow, what would we be doing today? As Christians, we have the obligation to spread the true word of God and show the lost world how much Jesus loves them. If we know that the return of Jesus is at hand, just like it was when He ascended into Heaven, why don't we live that way every day? I am not sure when it will happen, but what I do know is that time is short. The Bible also tells us that we are supposed to go into the world teaching, so let's get to work! God bless.

Youth Fund Raisers

Just letting everyone know that our youth group at Gum Springs MBC is working on a couple of fund raisers to help out with the expense of church camp. I, as the youth director at our church, feel that God has blessed us because this year we will have more campers than ever attending camp. With that comes the problem of funds. As a group and church, we are collecting aluminum cans to cash in before we leave. If you or anyone you know has aluminum cans laying around that you would like to donate, you can contact me at (903) 646-4386 and I will make arrangements to get them from you. Also, we are having a garage/bake sale on June, 11 2011 at the church located on Hwy 42 across from Jordan's plant farm. All money raised here will also be given to the youth. I would like to invite everyone to come and shop the goods or just buy some cookies (whatever you prefer). We will start at about 8am and go until we sell out or the rapture takes us home. I am also looking for people who feel led by God to help by sponsoring a child or even donating part of the registration fee which by the way is $80 per camper. Hope to see you or hear from you soon. God bless.

Front Porch Singing

Just wanted to let anyone who may read this know that on May 14th at 2:00 we will have a singing at our church. This is the fourth year we have done this and it is a great blessing to all who attend or perform. The way we work it is a little different in that we set up the equipment on the front porch of our church and the audience sits in the yard in their lawn chairs. I woul like to personally invite everyone to attend. Our church is called Gum Springs Missionary Baptist and is located on hwy 42 south of Henderson close to Jordan's Plant farm. If you would like directions, just comment on the blog here and I will make sure you find your way. God Bless.
