Are You Able to Do the 10 Things?

I have received the Baptist Press email for years. It is the official news service of the Southern Baptist Convention and the largest religious news agency in the U.S. It provides daily news, features, and opinions regarding Southern Baptist missions, ministry, and evangelical concerns globally. One of its features is a daily cartoon by Pastor Joe McKeever, who pastored churches for 60 years, was a missions leader, and is a cartoonist.

I saw this last week and thought it was a good word about some challenging, but good things God's strengthening grace and empowering Spirit enable us to do.

These and many other things may have varying degrees of challenge, but we have been blessed to have "this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves" (2 Cor. 4:7).

Foundational Faith Statement #31: What are the ordinances Christ has given His church to observe? Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are given by our Lord as visible and outward signs of our identification with and commemoration of Christ’s death and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; 1 Cor 11:23-26).
