Imagine everything that happens in our lives... happens with purpose.

We are ignorant before God. Even the greatest of minds that have learned the ways of this world in a business manner- are but simple men and women before Him. We are nothing before Him because of the fact that we can offer nothing as far as insight in God's Will for this Life- where there is no time, there is no currency, there is no doubt, there is no second guessing. But, even those that have been put in charge of commissioning this world in a business manner- Presidents, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary of Treasure... many positions given to very educated people by means of a 'gift'.

God created us- He gave us a personality, He gave us hair, He gave us a heart beat, He gave us wisdom in how to invent things (of which- those are His inventions from His Wisdom).

I am not as crafty and quick thought as my brothers, I am not as intuitive as was Albert Einstein or the Wright Brothers... or Benjurmin Franklin, or that cave man on the Geico commercials. All have had significance in the history of this existence. Although I do not know if they claimed the glory for themselves or not....... or, if they gave the glory to whom Wisdom was given to process such great and knowledgeable information.

We are all different. Let's look at ourselves in this body and look to see what characteristics God has made us into. I am but a simple person- and 10 years ago, I couldn't even fathom thinking of writing for the One whom sent me. Here is what I see... Pastor Nathan- our spiritual leader... brother Paul- our financial support... sister Connie and Marie- business administration... brother Walt- our worship inspirer... Marilyn- a beautiful singer... some people are great supporters in setting an example for coming to church faithfully. There are many talents amongst us. Each one of us are here for a reason. Each one of us has been given a desire to accomplish something. It just wouldn't make much sense if God gave us all desires be financial gurus, would it???

Pastor Nathan has 'shared' that he cannot do everything himself; to a degree in one fashion or another. He has been humbly calling out to us to find our true talents and desires to help Him... help the lost... and to help others amongst us. I don't think that he is being overburdened, or... being taken advantage of... but............. it is actually God that is desiring growth in His body. God wants to use us for the advancement of His Kingdom.

There is a structure that our Lord desires for us to conform to. Not necessarily by means of a formal business Presbyterian format, but in a way that is most useful to Him; for the advancement of His Kingdom by means of spiritual gifts. Much has already been put into place, but there are a few empty positions that are open that we should identify. Perhaps, we can identify those positions and this can be drawn up on chalk board in the near future and with prayer, we can anticipate with amazement what has already been put into place for tomorrow.


Peace be with you,
Brother Peter


The amazing thing about prophesy in the bible was it all became active. People of the time did not know when things were going to come to pass- but they did. But, as I share such insight- I cannot claim these words as mine. This letter must be approached with much discernment and be waited on my means of confirmation.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
