Change
Happy Autumn! The change in season has left me thinking a lot about change lately. About how sometimes we can seek change and it eludes us. About how sometimes change is thrust upon us with little notice. And about how sometimes change happens right on schedule and how enjoyable it can be.

On Faith-Rev. M.D.Rogers
The agonizing moments through which I have passed during the last few years have drawn me closer to God. I am convinced of the reality of a personal God. True, I have always believed in the personality of God. But in the past the idea of a personal God was little more than a metaphysical category that I found theologically and philosophically satisfying. Now it is a living reality that has been validated in the experiences of everyday life. God has been profoundly real for me in recent years. In the midst of lonely days and dreary nights I have heard an inner voice saying, "Lo, I will be with you even unto the end of the world.

By His Spirit -Rev.M.D. Rogers
What does the church supremely need to remember? The truth embodied in this text. "Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord." God's work is not done by our resources, of intellect, of wealth, of enthusiasm, nor by resoluteness of effort or by cleverness. Though all these are necessary, none of them, not all of them together, nor any human endeavoring can do God's eternal work.
As Jesus was born of the Spirit, baptized of the Spirit, led by the Spirit, and proclaimed the Kingdom of God in the power of the Spirit, as He offered Himself through the Eternal Spirit to God, so should we!
For the Spirit of God calls, gifts, equips and works through the people of God. God's Spirit is paramount, if God's people are to do God's eternal work.
These words, not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord brought the needed empowering to the feeble handful of discouraged people surrounded by the enemy. And we too should feel the sweetness of the promise that told them not to despair nor to be despondent because they had little of what the world calls might and power. We here today need to hear this messageand have faith in God's resource which is available to us through His established channels outlined in His Word.
