Blessings be to you all

Dear friends as I sit here writing to you it is 5:51am Sunday morning your time. I pray that God prepares your heart for the worship and teaching you will sit under today. Family of Riverside you are a blessed people to have God present amoung you with the leadership He has provided as well as the clear biblical teaching you recieve. We had church today and Dr Mark taught on Nehemiah he started towards the end as they celebrate with the finishing of the wall in Jerusalem and ended with how the beginning of the book starts with the confession of one man. It was a sureal experience to worship our Father standing on foreign soil in a country that desperately needs to hear his call. We sang "Lord we ask for the nations", as Jeff Diehl played on the guitar I was moved to know that as we worship our glorious Father the people that passed by us out on the street were utterly lost. They are who we are asking for to be touched by the majestic spirit of our almighty Father. May each of you be moved by the words you will mediatate on today as a body of believers. Hold His word close to your heart for it is a part of you, a part that has been bestowed upon you as a blessing to share with those around you. Let not the sun set on this day that you do not give thanks in all you do to the glorious Father that has pulled you from the ashes and declared you are righteous.
