I came across a quote recently from William Carey from his journal, April 1794, during his first year in India. This day was tumultuous in its beginning, but was afterwards more calm. Yet a burden of guilt is not easily removed: nothing short of infinite power, and infinite goodness, can remove such a load as mine. O that I had but a smiling God, or an earthly friend to whom I could unbosom my soul! But my friend is at a great distance, and God frowns upon my soul. O may his countenance be lifted upon me again. Carey was expressing his feelings here, not writing good theology. His words reflect a servant’s struggle with sin and the struggle with loneliness. Everyone in the ministry deals with them both. And you don’t have to travel to India to meet these enemies face-to-face. They’ll come to where you are. So, what do you do when you’re losing the battle against sin and loneliness? You turn to the God whose mercy never ends, and even if it’s for the thousandth time, you can still find grace in your time of your need. Carey knew that, even if he didn’t feel it at the moment he penned these words. continued

And you turn to one of the good people God has put in your life, and you “unbosom your soul”. You have an advantage Carey didn’t have: If that person isn’t nearby, you can pick up the phone and give them a call.
with church this Sunday!
ORDER OF WORSHIP IF YOU NEED HELP OR ASSISTANCE
Most importantly, when you’re losing the battle against sin and loneliness, you stay in the fight until victory finds you. Losing the battle doesn’t mean you’re losing the war, but quitting does.

Carey eventually won his battle. He stayed in India, translated the New Testament into several languages, planted churches and missionary training centers, and became known as the Father of Modern Missions. Today at least seven institutions of higher learning bear his name. Amazing, especially when you consider he worked for three years before he baptized his first convert. Blessings on your week as you face your moments of loneliness this week with the help of your Savior and Lord. Pastor Terrell ******************************************************************************* with Pastor Scott
Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp. He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. Psalm 147: 7-8 It’s raining today, and that makes quite a few days in a row that it has either rained, looked like rain, or rained somewhere nearby. Whatever could be going on? We live in Arizona after all, and it’s supposed to be dry. Well, it’s monsoon season, that’s what’s going on. It’s that time of year when we can usually count on some nice rainfall. Some years are better than others as far as the rain goes, but we generally get at least something. Anyway, for at least a couple of months or so moist air from the Pacific makes its way over to our neck of the woods and gives us some showers. The psalmist lists the rain as one reason among many to sing in praise to God, so if you aren’t sure what you have to sing about or praise God for, you can praise Him for the rain he gives that makes grass grow on the hills and waters the crops that provide food for us. We can also sing praise to God for the grace so freely given that He pours down on us like rain. No matter what you may be going through, God’s grace is available for the asking, so praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen! Pastor Scott
