This Sunday Bill Saunders will be preaching. The message is entitled, “So near and yet so far”. This saying expresses regret or sadness when we have got very close to achieving what we wanted, but in the end we just failed. God’s express desire is different to this as He wants everyone to succeed at the most fundamental choice, we must all make for time and eternity.
Those who are, or who become, members of His family are aided by His help and power to make a habit of succeeding in life according to His desire and design [Please read Psalm 1 (especially verse 3c)]. God’s desire for each person is for us to be able to say, “No fear and held fast – in Christ”
