Monday Reminders

This is a update blog for all of you brothers and sisters in the Trinity family. Please be in prayer for a few matters. Our friend, Harold Coleman is in the hospital and battling lung cancer. Please pray that God would provide for his dire needs at this point in his life. Also, pray for peace and perseverance through this time of trial. Crystal and Steve also need prayer as they help him out in his illness and recovery. Pray that God gives His grace. Our sister Sarah Peters needs similar prayer as she battles cancer. Pray for Ken as he gives care. Pastor also needs prayer for healing in his life. Praise the Lord there is no spread internally of his skin cancer. But, he now must go through another round of radiation. We all know how that affected him this last year.

In other matters we are continuing our study of 1st Corinthians. We looked at chapter 1 and verses 10-17. The passage is all about following God not man. Paul mentions three great Bible teachers and is disappointed that the Corinthians were following these men rather than keeping their eyes focused on the Lord. I believe this passage is important for American Christians. We are bombarded with the megapreachers of megachurches. Man of these men are not preaching the whole counsel of God and have distorted the Gospel for their own gain. I'm being general here as to not lump all radio preachers in one big lump. But, some of the most famous of the tv preachers are in the midst of preaching doctrine that is unbiblical and should be pointed out as heresy against true Biblical Christianity. We need to be discerning! I urge you to stay in your Bible and be like the Bereans and "search the scriptures".

Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
