PA R T N E R L E T T E R
Well, June is here! The first half of 2022
has come and gone. Are you satisfied
with it so far? If not, don't let it upset you.
Do you remember what Jesus said to His
disciples during the Passover meal only
hours before He would be crucified?
Let's look at John 14:1:
1 LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.
"[You] let not your heart be troubled." I
realize that there are a whole lot of
troubling things going on, but we have
the Almighty God as our Father, and His
Son, Jesus, as our LORD and Savior. How
about Proverbs 3:5-6?
5 TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE
HEART; AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN
UNDERSTANDING.
6 IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM,
AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.
17 FOR THEREIN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH:
AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY
FAITH.
"Yes, Brother Copeland, but how do
things get into such a mess in the
government? There is war all over the
place, and weak leaders really bother
me."
I know it. Those things bother me, too.
BUT GOD! Let's go to His holy WORD, find
the root of the problem, and take the
direction promised in Proverbs 3.
Let's read the directions Timothy
received from his father in the faith, the
Apostle Paul, beginning in 1 Timothy 1:18,
and read through chapter 2:2:
18 THIS CHARGE I COMMIT UNTO THEE, SON
TIMOTHY, ACCORDING TO THE PROPHECIES
WHICH WENT BEFORE ON THEE, THAT
THOU BY THEM MIGHTEST WAR A GOOD
WARFARE;
19 HOLDING FAITH, AND A GOOD
CONSCIENCE; WHICH SOME HAVING PUT
AWAY CONCERNING FAITH HAVE MADE
SHIPWRECK:
20 OF WHOM IS HYMENAEUS AND
ALEXANDER; WHOM I HAVE DELIVERED
UNTO SATAN, THAT THEY MAY LEARN NOT
TO BLASPHEME.
1 I EXHORT THEREFORE, THAT, FIRST OF
ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS,
INTERCESSIONS, AND GIVING OF THANKS,
BE MADE FOR ALL MEN;
