Loving one Another…
I’ve taken the liberty to post excerpts from an email I received this morning…I do it for the Lord’s glory. God is always faithful and here’s yet another example from our own congregation.
“Just a quick note to let you know how wonderful our church family is (as if you didn’t already know).
For the past several months things have been tough for us all around, finances, children and grandchildren etc., and the first thought you have when your world is crumbling is to want to retreat, quit coming to church.
Well last nite while we were at church, something awsome happened, we arrived home with a screaming “x” year old and a “x” year old who so needed to be in the bed for school, and I told [my husband] that the devil always gets to this family on church days, I was tired and overwhelmed at this point.
So we pull into our carport, and I see lots of Walmart bags sitting there, we get out of the car and start going thru them. I said there must be a note, but at first we didn’t find one. We bring them in, unload them and find a note saying “Here is $20 to buy meat, eggs etc., Your Friends, Love in Christ”. Well of course I broke down, then [my husband], we couldn’t imagine who would do this for us. So point being, God is good, and someone from our church blessed us when we needed it most. Wanted to let you know what wonderful people we have the privilege to attend with….Thought this would brighten your heart like it did ours. And no we are not letting the devil win, we will strive to be faithful.
Thank you for your passion as our pastor
Love, [faithful church members]
Somebody say it with me…God is good all the time, all the time God is good!”
Because someone “obeyed the impulse of the Holy Spirit”, God got glory and a family got blessed! VBC, let’s stay yielded!!

Awesome email pastor. We do have a wonderful church family and my family has witnessed that time and time again. The outpoor of love and compassion from our people is the work of the Lord. The day can start out bad and one text from the church family can change the whole day. We are proud to be a member and part of the family at Victory!
