Greetings Church Family & Friends,                                                                                                                                                                                January 9, 2021

Looking back over the past year of 2020, as Americans, it would be easy to assume the events of last year to be bad as it can get.  However, 2021 is very quickly getting us to think otherwise.  The lifestyle changes taking place last year seem to only be the tips of the iceburg going into the near and distant future.  It is very easy to ask ourselves, "how can it get any worse?"  Nonetheless, we do not have to look too far back in the history of mankind to see there have been parilous times that could easily be defined as the worst of the worst.  

Yet, this history is only the birth pains of creation leading to the return of Jesus Christ.  If the first few days of 2021 is only a movie trailer in the direction we are headed, then one could hardly disagree with the statement, "we better start looking for the answers instead of adding more questions to the test of life while not answering the others."  

When we look into the Bible, we find example after example of folks who were facing troublesome times to the point of not having anywhere to turn but to the Lord for help.  The sensible thing would be for us to get that point sooner than later.  There is a recurring them I find when reading the Scriptures and learning about these folks.  Those folks had a "Resolve"  about them as they lived by faith.  They resolved to live their lives and made their decisions based upon their faithfulness to not waiver from being the individual God called them to be.

As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Pastor of FSBMagnetcove, I seek to lead whoever will follow to be like minded.  To be resolved to live as Christ.  May we learn to echo the words of the Apostle Paul when he said "to live is Christ and die is gain."  If 2020 and 2021 teaches us anything.  May it teach us to resolve ourselves to be focused on what God is doing in the world around us.  May it teach us to resolve ourselves to Seek the Lord while he may be found.  May we resolve to surrender to God's Will and not our own.  May we resolve  to keep our eyes of Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.  May we resolve to be a city on a hill that cannot be hid.  May we resolve  to let our lights shine so brightly and our testimony to be so authentic, we put shame those who bring a charge against God's elect.

What will it take for you to be resolved, no longer to linger or be charmed by the worlds delight?  

During this season, we have tried to keep our watermark amongst the muck as best we can through our in person services, live streaming, and our online gatherings.  We will try to exhaust every avenue we can to make sure anyone has the opportunity to know the Truth  that sets us free.  We would love for all who can join with us in learning to know God more and encourage one another to show others the greatest love we have ever know.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Pastor Aaron Polk
