Study to Show Yourself Approved

Here at WCFC, we are privileged to have a pastor who is qualified to answer any question put to him. And on Wednesday nights, we do put the questions out there. It is just amazing to listen to the results of many untold number of hours Bro. Smith has studied and researched the Scriptures. One such night we did a study on 1 Cor. 14:34-36. "Let your women keep silence in the churches." Needless to say, there are many of us who have never quite come to grips with the true meaning of this teaching. Bro. Dewayne led us in a little history of the Jewish traditions and customs of the day in which Paul was living when he penned these words. It is simple to understand when you have the whole picture presented to you. Please come and join us as we study the Word each Wednesday night at 7pm. Remember, there is cake and coffee in the basement. You will be welcomed and will recieve a great blessing as you open the Word of God and learn of Him.

It would be a good thing to look at some of the teachings of our Lord in the Gospels. In Luke 18:18-25, we see the story of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus and asked how he could inherit eternal life. He didn't recognize Jesus as the Lord (v.19). To follow Him, we must know who Jesus Christ really is. Those who have a true revelation of God will not be easily swayed. In the world we live in today, Christians everywhere are facing rejection and in some parts of the world, physical torture or death for their faith. In America, high-profile celebrities such as Oprah Wynfrey, are leading multitudes astray. She states openly that there are many pathways to Heaven. God is, after all, within yourselves. The New Age doctrine is sweeping this country and the minds of all who are not truly anchored in the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah. There is only one way~ONE WAY~and that way is Jesus. To reject Him is to reject the only hope for our souls. Anything else only leads to death and hell. Just as the young ruler of Luke's Gospel needed a Savior, we need a Savior. Are you anchored in the Rock today? Remember that Jesus is only a prayer away.
