My hope and vision for Moriah Church is to take
her beyond her walls.
Her members have ministered to one another and
those that are without for many years.
I hope to continue these efforts and be a light in
the community of Colbert and beyond.
The Church is not just a place for the well, but
for the sick.
It is a place for those in need to come and find
the support and comfort of God's people.
I pray that, by the Grace of God, Moriah's light
will compel those in darkness to come in and find rest for their souls, in the
finished work of Christ.
The Message
The message of the Primitive Baptist Church can be
found in one statement made by our Lord.
"It is finished".
The "bookends" of our doctrine our simple.
The Angel told Joseph in Matthew 1:21, "And she
shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS; for He shall save
his people from their sins."
With this promise, Christ proclaims on the cross,
in John 19:30, "It is finished".
The promise of saving is complete.
With the finished work of Christ as a back drop,
we then proclaim another promise given to God's people.
In 2 Chronicles 7:14, it reads,
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land".
The finished work of Christ is our rest. The
commandment of good work is our purpose.
That is the message.
My Fathers in the
Ministry
Pictured below are two men that have been
invaluable in my life.
Both have taught me to love and respect the Word
of God.
Both have taught me to "rightly divide the Word of
Truth".
Elder Dolph Painter (left) has taught me to be
jealous over God's people. 2 Cor 11:2
Elder Eddie Whidby (right) has taught me to be a
"thinker" in the service of God. 2 Tim 2:7, Heb 3:1
I thank God for these and other ministers that
have taught, encouraged and corrected me through the years.
I pray my ministry will be a reflection of the
person of Christ and the efforts of God's ministers which I have known.
