A faithful people

If we are faithful to the Lord, we will live in His promises, and this will be life to us.  We will experience blessing in this life, but the blessing in this life pales before the blessings of eternity.

This truth — this principle of faithfulness — must be at work in the churches of this city.  If individual Detroiters choose to be faithful, the city will experience blessing.  In this sense, at least, we control our destiny.

It is critical that we build bridges among Christians in this city, that we support and encourage one another’s faithfulness.  Perfect faithfulness is possible — and unless we are trying to be perfectly faithful to the Word of God, we will never manage any faithfulness.

Preach this word, preachers of Detroit!  Let the people be faithful to their spouses, faithful to their promises, faithful to their God!  This is the way to blessing.
