THE WLBC BULLETIN

West Lynchburg Baptist Church

February 10, 2013 Volume 3, Issue 6

The church with heart in the heart of the city.

Just Around The Corner...

Jesus Himself warned:
Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! Matthew 7:21-23 When Jesus said these words, He wasnt talking about irreligious atheists, agnostics, pagans, and heretics. He was talking about good, religious peoplemen and women associated with Jesus who assumed their eternity was safe and would one day be shocked to find that it wasnt. Though they professed belief in Jesus and even did all kinds of work in His name, they never truly knew Him.D. Platt

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet

Bible Quiz
What did Jesus say about the proper way to pray? Choose the correct answer below: A. Go to a public place and witness by praying where others can hear you. B. Go to a private place such as your room, shut the door and spend quiet time with God. C. Diligently prepare ahead of time the words you wish to use in prayer, write them out and then read them to God. (The answer is in Matthew 6:5-6, NRSV.) A Lesson for Dr. Fosdick Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick was a preacher, scholar and teacher who served Riverside Church in New York City in the first half of the 20th century. While walking one day, he stopped to talk with a young woman and her 4-year-old daughter. As the conversation drew to a close, the preacher told the little girl to tell her father that she had spoken to Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick. The child responded by saying, Tell your mother that you talked to Susie Smith.
