Full Transcript
In Philippians 419 we read, but my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Friends, I believe this verse to be true because God's word is true and he is true to his word. Because of undergoing open heart surgery and the economy, I've not been able to stay current on my bills.
I owe my landlord several months of back rent and he's starting to press me for the money. I also have gotten behind on some other critical bills. My homiletical mentor, Stephen Alford, always told me to let the people of God aware of the need and then pray that God will meet that need.
The need is great, but we serve a great God. I bless his holy name. Thank you for all you can do.
Jesus is not only worthy, he is worth it.
