Psalm 25 says, “Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.”
King David is asking for mercy and love, not based on who he was or what he had done but based on the fact that God is loving and good. But note that he says they were sins of his youth. Almost all of us did stupid, rebellious things as young people; some of us more than others. Aren’t you glad God forgives and chooses to forget that stuff? Are you growing out of those youthful sins or do you still struggle with the same old things you have always struggled with? Are you forgiving of people when they do youthful, rebellious stuff? Or do you struggle to forgive? Both are red flags that could mean your relationship with the Lord is not where it should be. Ask God about that in your own life this morning.
Then this Sunday will be a great day at Christ Fellowship! It will be our last day to worship at the smelly building across from the port o potties and the next Sunday, November 3rd, will be our first day at the little white building owned by R2BA Auctions at 710 S. 101 here in Chico just north of the railroad tracks.
Most everything has already been moved except for what we need for our Sunday morning and evening services but there will still be a lot of work that needs to be done this next week. I’ll keep you posted as to what and when starting next week.
I wouldn’t want to meet with any other church this week other than y’all! I love you all! — Todd
