We cannot let it stop!

We have had a very Blessed month here at Liggett Baptist Church. Today "on paper" is our final Sunday of what we have called the "Back to Sunday School" month here at Liggett. I will declare right now that it has been a success. Whether or not we hit our goal today the biggest blessing is that Sunday School attendance has picked up dramtically and stayed that way the whole month! I want to "thank you" everyone for being dedicated and coming to Sunday School. I had mentioned the first of this month that if your Sunday School is strong then the other parts of the Church can and will be stronger as well. It has been evident that Sunday morning Worship attenance has picked up even more and stayed steady, Sunday nights have been strong, and Wednesday Nights have been awesome! So my question is today, why let it stop? Many times a Church will have a Revival, VBS, Special Events like "Back to Sunday School" month and have a good thing going, but once it ends, then its easy to lose focus and begin letting things slide a little bit at a time. This kinda reminds me of our walk with the Lord sometimes. We wil be on fire for a period and then lose focus and find ourselves back to the way we were. The reality is, things were not bad before, we were blessed, things going good, but this month has shown what we could of had all along! Why stop with the steak when you can have the cake too! Same exact way with our Christian walk with the Lord, why just go a half of a mile when you can walk all day long with him? I would encourage you, for the sake of the lost souls, the Church, your families, and your personal walk with Jesus to have a state of mind and heart that every month is "Back to Sunday School" month! That everyday is "going the full distance"! If we let is stop, Satan will pick it up and have a field day with it. You can bank on that! Next week (September 5th) is Homecoming, services begin at 10:00am, Bro. Larry Parker will be speaking, Pray for him and the service. Hope to see you there! GOD Bless and Love everyone of you!

Love
Pastor Sean and Family
