Greetings to all our Heritage Church Family and those with shared passion for souls and revival.

Our dear friend, who was a great influence on many lives here at Heritage, was Harvey Payne. He was an advocate for righteousness and the Baptism of Fire. He believed that this was an often overlooked necessity would be essential in the last days. I remember Brother Payne as we affectionately called him, teaching us: “SIN ALWAYS LEAVES A SCAR.”

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward
the fence.

Greetings to all those who worship with us as a part of the Body of Christ we call Heritage Fellowship.

I ask myself a question this morning:

WHAT CAN BE WORSE THAN A STONE IN YOUR SHOE?

This is crazy; or maybe not. C.S. Lewis wrote these words in his book “The Screwtape Letters” nearly 80 years ago. Amazing how this could have been written today:

One day, a very wealthy man was walking on the road. Along the way, he saw a beggar on the sidewalk. The rich man looks kindly on
the beggar & asked, “How did you become a beggar?”

I have spoken with several people who have shared with me their disappointments and fears dur-ing the past few months. I can understand their fear and dismay. Job gives us his spin on Leviathan in the book of Job chapter 41; in verse 22, he allows us to join with him for a look see.

In the Book of Philippians Paul uses more terms of personal endearment than any other of his letters to the young churches. As you read it, you can see the intimacy and the informality of his words to them. Look at these expressions of heart written by Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit. There are several in his opening words to the Church at Philippi that are not found in any other letter.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more
profound than anyone could have ever imagined!
