​PASTOR CECIL · Devotional by Pastor Cecil: “PLEASANT AND COMELY!” Psalm 147:1 PLEASANT AND COMELY​! Psalm 147:1 – Devotional Psalm 147:1 “Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. “ I can recall as a young boy trying to sing louder than a girl in our class. It might have blown some of the vital vocal chords in the process, for I have lacked vocal acuity for as long as I can remember. I love and appreciate music, but I simply cannot express it in the manner I desire. At times I have heard people sing that seemed to think they could sing, but what they thought and what they produced was vastly different. I look forward to the day when we will gather around the Thrown of God and sing with voices that are perfect in pitch, parameter, and purpose. Until that day I will enjoy listening to the voices of those blessed with the gift of music. It is wonderful that our praise to the Lord does not depend on our ability, but upo

​PASTOR CECIL · Pastor Cecil's Devotional: THE PURE WORD​! Psalm 12:6 THE PURE WORD​! Psalm 12:6 – Devotional Psalm 12:6 “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. “ I think almost everyone will readily agree that we live in an impure world. From time to time we hear the call for us to return to the “good ole days!” Some astute observer has observed that we were neither good nor were we old. The heart of mankind is wicked by nature. We like to picture babies as being perfect little angels, but those of us who are parents will vividly recall those times when our “little angels” did not behave as angels! As imperfect people living in an imperfect world, we need a reliable source of spiritual truth. That unchanging and always reliable truth is the Word of God. Just to carry the Bible or quote a few verses is not enough. We must live it! We live the Word of God by spending time in it and making it the dependable source of truth

​PASTOR CECIL · Pastor Cecil's Devotional: REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE! Deuteronomy 11:7 REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE​! Deuteronomy 11:7 – Devotional Deuteronomy 11:7 “But your eyes have seen every great act of the Lord which He did. “ There is no question in my mind that I am better at forgetting than I am at remembering. The older I get, the more efficient I am at forgetting things that once were easy to recall and bring to mind. I am coming to realize that it is not so much the things that I recall that matter the most, but what I do with the things that do come to mind. The critical question is, do I take action when I see the “light” that the Holy Spirit reveals to me? In today’s Scripture, Moses is bringing to remembrance the mighty acts that God has performed for the Israelites in delivering them from bondage in Egypt. He challenges the people to recall what God has done and take positive action as a result. We have seen the way God has acted on our behalf. As a result, it is

​PASTOR CECIL · Pastor Cecil's Devotional: SILENT NIGHT​! Luke 2:2-10 SILENT NIGHT​! Luke 2:2-10 – Devotional Luke 2:2-10 “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’” Several years ago our church had finished a wonderful Christmas Eve service. Earlier there had been candles placed inside white lunch bags that lined the driveway leading to the church. Joyce and I had volunteered to extinguish the candles after everyone had left. It had snowed a few days earlier and there were still a few inches on the ground. The temperature was below freezing when we crunched through the snow to the far end of the driveway. It was so quiet and beautiful that we were moved in our spirit with the beauty of God’s creation
