ABOUT US

As this year began, many of us were dreaming, making plans, and setting goals for all the various things we would like to accomplish this year. ‘Resolutions’ are what these promises to ourselves are called. Some have a resolve to lose weight. Some resolve to get out of debt. The list goes on. There is however, a greater resolve that each of us as children of God should have. This resolve is that same resolve which we find written by the Apostle Paul in the First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 9, verses 19-23.

In short, Paul has resolved himself to make reaching the lost his primary goal. Look at what he says: “ I have become all things to all men that I might by all means save some”. Paul knew that no matter what else he may have accomplished, if he was not being a witness for Christ, reaching out to the left-out, the left-off, and the left behind, his life for Christ would be short of God’s expectations. That is why the Progressive Baptist Church Family has this as its Annual Theme for this year of 2002 ‘By All Means, Save Some’. Our challenge is to evaluate all that we do, and make certain that these things not only edify the body, but lead some to the salvation that can only be found in Christ (Romans 6:23).

Therefore, our songs should help point someone to the Savior. Our Mission work should display the Master compassion. Our Worship should adore the one Isaiah calls “Wonderful”. The preaching and teaching should help one turn to the Prince of Peace. ‘By all means’. This is our ‘Resolve’. Come join us
