The Christian’s Service to God

Dear BPCWA worshipper, We had Rededication Sunday earlier in the month. I thank God for the many within BPCWA who are faithful in their church attendances not only for Sunday Worship but also at fellowships, prayer meetings, study of God’s Word, and continue to be busy in the service of the Lord. During a recent Adelphos & Adelphe Bible study, the question was asked and answered – how do we keep up? Should I give up? Why does this happen, what are the dangers, and what should we do? Has the devotion become a drudgery? Many of you are busy in the things of the Lord both in the church and at home too – studying more of the Word

The service God accepts

Dear BPCWA worshipper, Every Christian should serve God. Some may be stunned into an awkward silence if we are asked by a visitor or a friend “what do you serve in the church?”.

We must view service in the church: As holy service.

The Christian’s Service to God

Dear BPCWA worshipper, Today is Rededication Sunday, where all who serve will be taking their vows to rededicate ourselves to the service of our Lord.  Many of us serve in some way in BPCWA.

This understanding is even more needful around God’s house, our Christian home, with its many ministries, and a hive of activity many days a week. Why do we even bother to set aside a day each year for rededication of our service to God? This is because service is important for every child of God. Much to be done.  We

Man’s will versus God’s will

Dear BPCWA worshipper, Last week, we saw how we cannot blame circumstances or others for our sinful actions. We must take responsibility for our choices and actions. This week we want to address the fact that whether or not we admit fault, we will suffer the consequences of our wilful choices. We must not be deceived to think that we will always be protected because God cannot afford to let our sinful choices affect His plans or that His patience and power means that He’ll indulgently ignore our sins and dismiss all the evil consequences of sin in our lives. We need to realise that God’s will and His purposes will always be fulfilled, whatever sinful choices we make. It
