Dear Shiloh Family,

    My hunger pains grew louder than the whispers of my weight management plan, so naturally, my feet followed the most prominent voice.  I was drawn by some force greater than common sense to the keeper of satisfaction…the fridge.  

     There are no better leftovers in the world than Anita’s venison lasagna and Mamaw’s spaghetti.   Nuke it, serve it, and enjoy.  It’s almost as good as hot out of the oven.  However, leftovers hardly ever feed the entire family, are often subject to heating capability, and quite frankly, they just get old and stale.  

     Last year was a great year at Shiloh.  The spring held several salvations and decisions for Christ.  The summer was gorged with VBS, Retreats, conferences, and fun-filled vacations.  But like reheated dinner, past blessings rarely hold forward movement.  They are awesome faith builders, but faith is best encountered when coupled with works. 

Hebrews 9:14

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

     Summer’s end and the beginning of the new school year opens endless doors of possibility of service to our Lord.  August is packed with ministry opportunities.  Let’s get excited about what God is doing in and through our church.  Start now promoting your ministries and church family.  However, be diligent to keep Jesus Christ, our risen Lord in the center of every though process at Shiloh Baptist Church.  

Acts 4:11-12

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

     Jesus is not a leftover savior.  He is risen, living, and eternal.  He never changes, never gets old, and doesn’t need reheating.  He is life and love, ever present, and never ending. 

Jesus…past, present, and potential.       

God bless you all,

Pastor Derrell
