We will soon be
celebrating Home Coming Service here at Pinehill
Holiness Church on September 14th.
Jasper
Carpenter will be our main speaker on this special
day.
But this has me
thinking about a much greater day than just
our regular September Homecoming.
We gather together
singing and having dinner together.
One of our songs we
often sing is " When we all get to
Heaven...What a day of Rejoicing that will be"
I'm thinking of a
brighter day, a homecoming where the lamb is the
light, where we will spend eternity without one
minute of sorrow, pain or sickness, not even a head
cold, no death or funerals. Where everybody will be
happy over there forevermore .
Friend if you are
reading this and you are not saved, give your heart
to Jesus RIGHT NOW ! and come go with us.
Jesus is surely
coming.

The other day I was canning some tomatoes that I had
left to ripen.
I picked up one tomato and I thought how perfect
looking that it was. It was just the right color of
red, no spots of places to be cut out. When I cored
the tomato and cut it open it was "BLACK" inside.
All of the seed area was black. It wasn't rotten,
but everything had to be scraped out in order to be
able to use it.
I got to thinking about it being like Christians. We
may look perfect on the outside, but inside our
hearts we have hidden sins that shouldn't be there.
Psalms 69:5 and 90:8 both tell us that our hidden
sins are not hidden to God, because he knows what's
there.
We need to do like I did with my tomato and clean
out all the black inside so that we can be used by
God.
I canned my tomato and got the use of it. Just like
with the tomato, I want God to take out any hidden
sins in my heart that may be in there. I want my
heart to be perfect "Inside" just like I should be
showing a Christian life on the "Outside".
