Sunday Evening, July 4, 2010,

In the afternoon, we had a meeting at the Forrest Glenn retirement center. This evening in our gathering, we were blessed with some beautiful and inspirational singing. It was a spiritually rich environment to be in.

Bro Joe led a discussion about embedded Christians going out into the highways and hedges and compelling people to come into God's banqueting table, His kingdom. We are so thankful that in the past four years, we have become Kingdom Builders!

God is not looking to draw in religious people, but in Luke 14:15-23, He lets us know that he is looking for the lame, sick, blind, etc...  the gathering of the outcasts!

There are many highways from which we must compel people from. The highways of career, retirement, wealth, reputation, sports, entertainment, etc... Also, the hedges create barriers that we must overcome if we are to reach people's hearts, but they must be penetrated. Thankfully, the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church of the living God!

In the midst all the different ways and religious confusion, Isaiah  35:8-10 says that there is a way of holiness and there is the WAY, Jesus Christ!

After the meeting, we celebrated Steven's birthday at the Hightower's house. We had a great time of fellowship.

Finally, we were blessed to have the Laywell family with us in our gathering. The Carolina Victory Choir from the Church of God in Marion, NC has just released a CD titled "There's Still Hope".
