              Welcome; we are very glad you are here.

             Thought for the Day

           1 John 2:18, “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”

     Brian Mast is walking point on patrol in Afghanistan when he steps on a hidden bomb. He loses both legs above the knee and a finger that day. However, a piece of shrapnel driven straight at his heart never reaches it. His Level IV body armor takes the hit and saves his heart. He calls the day he survived his “Alive Day,” because he knows exactly who protected him.

     You too, walk through a world with an unseen enemy.  John calls this enemy the spirit of the antichrist. This is the system of this world which aims to deceive the sinners and to defeat the saints long before “The Antichrist” ever shows up.

     You won't always see the attack coming; therefore, I highly recommend that you put on your armor before the blast.           John points to three layers that work together to protect your heart. The Word of God, the Son of God, and the Spirit of God. You desperately need all three. 

     So, before you are overwhelmed by the world, make sure you have the right protection.  Build your three-layer protective gear at all times. Communicate with the Lord in prayers. Be open to the leading of God’s Holy Spirit.  Read and meditate on the Word of God daily.  If you belong to Jesus, you have a protective armor for whatever weapon the world is aiming at you right now.    You just have to wear it all the time.

     Father, thank You for the protection and power of Your Word. I know I don't always see what's coming at me from the enemy. Help me put on what you've already given me before the moment arrives. Be the plate that takes the hit so I don't have to. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

     Our Online Ministries:

     In Golden Meadows Baptist Church, we not only post our worship service on Facebook and YouTube weekly, but also have a Mid-Week Bible Study, every Wednesday night at 6:30pm, and a Bible study in Persian (Farsi) language every Friday morning at 9am.  Please support these ministries by sharing and passing the word.

      Congratulations:

      This past Thursday (6^th) our own Lisa Alonso and her fiancé, Garrett Gore tied the knot. Let us pray that the Lord bless their union with harmony, happiness and health. Let us also pray that the Lord protect them and their home from all evil, and that they live their lives in total dependance on Jesus Christ and His Will.   Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Gore.

      Sunday School:

     This Sunday we will study from 1 John 3:4-10. If you read the scriptures, pray and meditate on them before attending the class, you will prepare your heart for the work of the Holy Spirit of God.  Please read 1 John 3:11-18, for next week.

        From the Word of God:

       A powerful verse to anchor the month of August is Proverbs 3:5-6: " Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This verse serves as a great reminder to let go of anxiety and trust in divine guidance as you move through life's transitions.
