Shade Tree Wisdom 5/25//15

            Yesterday,  as I noted,  was Pentecost Sunday, the day on which God sent the Holy Spirit to establish His Church.  Of this Jesus said:

“Thou art Peter, and on this

Rock (Of Peter’s  confession “that Thou art Christ”),

I will build My Church

and the gates of hell

Shall not prevail

Against it.”

Matthew  16,17.

            We hear and read so much today about how the church is losing out, in membership, in popularity , in many ways.  The local paper had a report how the Church is losing. But here is our Savio’s promise  that it will survive.

            And it is. A  close look shows the church thriving and growing in many parts of the world.

            Yes, just believe, “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”        

Indeed comforting thought to Keep in mind.
