Pre-Assembly Preparation

As the General Assembly approaches, I would like to invite participation from the folks of our great state to help make this a memorable time for the delegates gathering from around the world.

This will be the last time the General Assembly will be in Tennessee for some time, if ever again. The General Assembly of 2010 will be in Greensboro, N.C., and chances are the General Assembly of 2012 will be west of the Mississippi river.

There will be a real need for volunteers to help in several areas, and I invite you to help us show some good, old-fashioned Tennessee hospitality.

Our delegates from around the world will be arriving on the Friday before the assembly and will be departing Nashville on the following Monday. There will be a need for our folks to greet our National Overseers and missionaries at the airport and then return them to the airport for their departure flight. YOU CAN HELP.

If you would be willing to assist, I am asking you to email me at: ecmckinley@mac.com

Also, there is a need for ushers/security help at the General Assembly, and some who will simply assist as needs arise. Would you like to help? Please let me know.

God bless

Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...
