Hey Everybody,

I hope your week is off to a good start. There has been a lot going on here at Enon. It has sure been a blessing.

If you have not heard, there will be a prayer rally this Saturday at the Farm Center beginning at 9 AM. This is lining up to be a nice opportunity to offer our burdens up to the only One who can truly bless America. Please, make an effort to attend.

Also, Sunday we will have a quest speaker from the India Mission effort. David Nance will be with us. We would love to have you here. David will update us on progress being made there.

But for today, here are a few thoughts.

Who Is Of The Truth

A major issue facing religious people is, “Am I following the truth?” It is important to follow the truth, for failure to walk in truth is to sever fellowship with the Lord. “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth” (1 John 1:6). In addition, it is evident that truth is associated with action. We are to “walk in truth,” and we are to “do” the truth.

How can we know that we are of the truth? Some say it is impossible to know. Others say we can know by our feelings, or that knowledge comes by a direct intervention from God. The question is, “How can I be certain that I am of the truth?”

Again, we turn to our Master for the correct answer: “Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37).

If you are of the truth you will hear the voice of Jesus about the following subjects:

1. Have you heard His voice concerning baptism? “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:16).

2. Have you heard His voice about soul-winning? “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19).

3. Have you heard His voice concerning giving? “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

4. Have you heard His voice about prayer? “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1).

5. Have you heard His voice regarding obedience? “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say” (Luke 6:46). “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Matthew 7:21).

Have a great week.
