GBC Community Update: Feeling confused? Focus on the Lord!

Good morning. And just like that, it seems like summer is here!  What a shift in weather over the course of this month- from snow to high heat. Wow!  I know you’ve heard me say it before, but I’m glad God knows and God is in control, since I sure can’t figure this out! May we rest in the Lord not just when it comes to the weather but in all things.
  
Here’s a chance to support Michael House again!
Every year the GBC family participates in the Michael House “Baby Bottle Drive” which usually runs from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day.
As with so many things this year, the fundraiser has gone online.  So, with that in mind I’d like to share the opportunity for you to again consider supporting this ministry which  brings the gospel in such a tangible way through helping at-risk pregnant women and new mothers.
If you’re interested, please visit their website here – Michael House – to give to a great cause in our community!

A thought for the day: Feeling confused these days?  Focus on the Lord
Our enemy, the devil, is the author of confusion. He is a deceiver who seeks to bring confusion and lead many astray. He’s a liar and works hard to make us doubt God’s truth. From the beginning of time, he has lied and twisted God’s word to bring doubt and disbelief.  The Bible tells us he seeks to lead the whole world astray.  Jesus told us “…there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
How do we overcome the confusion the devil would seek to sow in our lives?
James 4 tells us: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” 
The key to dealing with confusion in these confusing days is not to get caught up in media hype or social media musings but be submitted to God and stay connected to the Bible which is ‘sharper than a double-edged sword’ and will not only never lead us astray but will also help us cut through the fog of confusion.
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
