“And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” Ephesians 2:1
Preaching from his pulpit one Sunday, Pastor Jerry Osborne exclaimed: “Listen, ‘He only lives who lives to God, and all are dead beside;' and that is the true explanation of sin not felt, and sermons not believed, and good advice not followed, and the gospel not embraced, and the world not forsaken, and the cross not taken up, and evil habits not laid aside, and the Bible seldom read, and the knee never bent in prayer!”
This is the thrust of the Dead Days here at Mountain View, that we who call this their church-home might once again call upon the Lord to search our hearts, to bring conviction into our lives that we might be renewed by His Spirit to accomplish great and mighty things for Jesus Christ!
Over the next two weeks we implore each member to bow the knee before God, opening their heart in preparation for an outpouring of His Spirit. The Dead Days Are Coming!
