Pastor’s Points
Count Your Many Blessings
Of all the hymns we sing, none expresses the joy of thanksgiving better than the 1897 song, “Count Your
Blessings”. With its true to life lyrics and lively tempo, it is difficult to sing the words without thinking upon the countless blessings we have received from a loving, caring, and benevolent God.
The first verse describes a life filled with difficulty; a life tossed about by the tempest of life. One can become discouraged, thinking there is no reason to carry on but then offers a simple remedy, count your many blessings, naming them one by one. The surprising result is coming to the realization of just how much God has done for us.
The second stanza speaks of the heavy burdens and the cross one may have to bear. But remember that cross bearing is part of discipleship (Luke 9:23) and
God has given us the church to help bear our burdens. (Galatians 6:2).
The third verse mentions observing the wealthy of the world who seem to
have it all. But for us, real wealth is found in Jesus Christ and we have
everlasting riches laid up in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).
The fourth and final section describes a God who is in control of all things (Daniel 2:21) and our relationship with the Lord will give us help and comfort
throughout our life’s journey. With such encouraging words,
confirmed by the Scriptures, how can we not have a song in our heart and rejoice in the Lord always (Philippians 4:4). – Jay Launius 2024
“Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see
what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.”
SPIRITUAL TRAINING
“…herein do I exercise myself…” – Acts 24:26
“…herein do I exercise myself…” – Acts 24:26
For most people if they want to be successful in some pursuit they must receive a certain amount of training. To be a successful teacher, parent, pianist, pastor, soul winner, mechanic, engineer, pilot, manager, athlete, etc. requires some training in that field.
The same is true in your Christian life. When you were first saved you were a “babe in Christ” that needed training to be a successful Christian.
The training process is called discipleship, involves four things:
- First, we have a “training manual.” It is the Bible (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The Bible gives us all the information we need to live the Christian life. The reason some Christians are not successful is because they have not been reading their “training manual.” As the cliché says, “When all else fails, read the instructions.”
- Second, there is the “classroom” where we learn along with other classmates from an experienced teacher (Eph. 4:11-16). This classroom is the local church.
- Third, is our “training ground” is the world in which we live (John 17:6-18). God has placed us in an environment where we learn to exercise what we’ve learned in our “training manual” and in the “classroom.”
- Fourth, the Holy Spirit is our “coach” (John 14:26). He helps us to put into practice what we are learning. He is with us to correct (convict) us when we do the wrong thing and encourage us when we do the right thing.
How is your spiritual training going?
Are you growing in your work for the Lord?
Let’s take advantage of these four training resources God has provided for us to accomplish what He has called us to do for His glory!
“A SIX WORD BIOGRAPHY”
Have you ever tried to summarize a person’s life in six words?
Here are some six word biographies of some Bible characters:
David – “a man after mine own heart” (Acts 13:22).
Mary – “Behold the handmaid of the Lord.” (Luke 1:38)
Paul – “For me to live is Christ” (Phil. 1:21)
John the Baptist – “He must increase—I must decrease” (John 3:30).
Moses – “Moses, the servant of the LORD” (Dt. 34:5).
Esther – “For such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).
Jesus – “God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16).
I’m sure you can find some other examples in the Bible.
But consider this: What six-word description would best describe you?
Would it be positive or negative?
Would it be “Not an easy person to love,” or “A faithful servant of the Lord”?
What would your six word biography say?

Online Giving
A new and convenient way to send your Tithes, Offerings, and Gifts to support God’s church and our Ministries for Him!
And remember you can still give in the offering boxes at the exits from the auditorium, or via U.S. Mail (P.O. Box 551, Kingston, TN 37763), or drop your tithes and offerings by the office (call first).
We have 23 missionary couples and two singles in far-reaching places from Arizona to China and places in between, and numerous local community missions, including Hands of Mercy food bank, Family Promise of Roane County, and Mt. Pisgah Bible Printing Ministry.
They are helping us fulfill our God-given mandate to take the gospel to every nation, and we are helping them do the ministry to which God has called them.
This is only possible because of your faithfulness in giving.
Only eternity will reveal the far-reaching impact of our gifts to missions.
