What is the secret to surviving a long agony? Be honesty in our prayer life with God, be confidence that God hears and cares even when our prayers sizzle with pain and frustration, and be genuine praise for God. Check out Psalm 4!

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

With all the great heroes of the Bible, we can do God's work with confidence. But to boldly go where he wants us to go, we must first be willing to let go of the sin that entangles our lives, distorts our vision, enlarges our doubts, and robs us of our spiritual vitality.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

The Lord is our great example. People of faith model the Lord's character and passion to us. We then live that life of faith as an example to others. The Gospel is the good news of Jesus. The Gospel is both caught and taught!

Bad stuff happens in life. Yet in all these things, we have an incredible promise: If we love God and are seeking to honor his call in our lives, our Father in heaven will work out all of the things going on in our life for our good.

Today's Prayer.
God, who lived before time began and who will be the Great I AM when time is no more, bless the seeds I sow that they may bear fruit to you and bless those I love. Through Jesus, the grain of wheat who died and was buried so that true life may flower forth. Amen.

When Paul teaches that the Church is the Body of Christ, he isn't being theoretical. The Church is Jesus' presence, his Body in this world. What is done to the Church as a collective group of people is done to Jesus. What is done to individual Christians is done to their Savior.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

The goal in Christian communication is not just clarity. The goal is not just to be understood. The goal is not just to be truthful. The goal is to be appropriate, encouraging, and building up others based on what the needs of the other person are.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

We need to be reminded, just like Joshua and the Israelites, that God gave us his Law to be a blessing to his people. The Law was given to help Israel live the will of God in their daily lives. Bottom line: Following God's will and living his character is a blessing to us!

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

This reassurance from God is given to a people facing desperate times, which were brought on by God to lead them to repent. The land can rejoice and be glad. So should his people! So should we! Because of Jesus, we know that "the LORD has done great things" for us!

When was the last time you made up a song of praise to God? Worried that you can't do it? Don't think it will be good? Don't worry, your only audience is your Father who longs to hear your heart sing regardless of your voice's perfection or your melody's tune.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

By this definition, a whole lot of people claiming to be believers are really spiritual corpses. For faith to be real, it must express itself in service. Faith not only moves mountains; it moves believers to act in ways that honor God and bless others.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

This man has been given back his life, ransomed from the power of Satan and the grave. How will he use it? Simple. He will go tell those in his family what the Lord has done for him. Isn't that what we need to be doing with the unbelievers in our families?

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

This passage makes me want to cry out to God: "Please restore us God! Restore us, your people, O God, who have lost their sense of wonder! Restore our old withered hearts to their innocence. Restore our lives to their unsoiled perfection and intention.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

Let's pray for today to be a day of refreshment and the beginning of revival in our world and among God's people!

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

Revive, refresh and restore! It's Revival Time at FBC! From September 12th through September 14th, the Rev. Dr. Kim A Ridley will be blessing us with her loving and faithful guidance with God's words.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

God loves us even when we are rebellious. However, God showed Israel that their rebellion would drive his presence and blessing from them. But with their genuine repentance, their confession of sin, God joyously returns to their lives to bring revival, renewal, and restoration.

[Fourth Baptist RVA @FourthBaptist]

Let's remember that the truest application of this scripture must find its home in us and in our churches. We can begin revival in our church if we will commit to daily prayer and hearts yearning for God to enter our church and transform it.
