St Mellons Baptist Church, Cardiff http://www.stmellonsbaptist.org.uk Knowing Christ and making Him known Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:32:45 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 New Year Message http://www.stmellonsbaptist.org.uk/new-year-message/ http://www.stmellonsbaptist.org.uk/new-year-message/#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:32:45 +0000 mattrees http://www.stmellonsbaptist.org.uk/?p=470 2012 will bring many new year’s resolutions – and the great majority will sadly fail because they are driven by mere human determination. However, 2012 need not be a failure for those who have the indwelling power of Christ! The power that created 200 thousand million galaxies is at our disposal.

Let’s all resolve to use that power (and nothing else will do) to make a deep impact for Christ and the gospel in 2012.

How? By; “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” (Colossians 3v16)

The word of God in personal quiet times and corporate means of grace is the God appointed way whereby power is dispensed to our souls – so, let us all resolve (and God will enable us) to open “our mouths wide” (Psalm 81v10) and take in God’s word.

To this end, there is a new initiative by “The Good Book Company I would like to commend to us all – it is called “Open up the Bible” backed up by Bible reading notes for all ages, computer downloads and mobile APPs,  it is simply aimed at encouraging us all to be often in God’s word. I will share more of this in my first Sunday back – (15th January)

May The Lord grant us gospel prosperity in 2012, to His glory alone.
