A NEW DECADE: Our Future Depends On What We Do Now
February 2010 Volume 2010, Issue 1 A NEW DECADE: Our Future Depends On What We Do Now PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14 In Philippians 3:13-14, Paul tells us, “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” It matters not who you are or how right you think you have lived, you have not on your own merit lived well enough to get into heaven. We ponder our future but we never really think much about our part in that future. Do the events of our lives have any great significance in determining who we are? Yes they do and we have a role to play in these events. Some of the events may take us on a path that is not pleasant but it will aid us in getting to the destiny that God has for us. If we are honest with ourselves, we would admit that we have not been perfect although that may have been the picture we projected. In life we all have done wrong and done right. What’s in the past, is in the past. We can't change things that have been done - whether good or bad. We can only do something about the “now,” with the understanding that the “now” has an immediate impact on the future. Paul said that we are to forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead. The question is: What is ahead? I can not foretell the future but as far as eternity is concerned, I know what the Lord Jesus has promised for those who would call upon His name. Romans 10:9-10 says, “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 12:1-2 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Heaven is ahead for those who accept the gift of life and abide in the Lord Jesus. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Paul realized that he had not reached the level of perfection that God required. However, he was willing to press toward the goal - the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. We too must press toward the high call which is in Christ Jesus. Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Your future depends on what you do NOW. Choose life or choose death. Your choice determines heaven or hell. You choose! Min. Rudolph Britton As I move about from day to day, from place to place, it appears that we are very busy people. We are so busy that it seems that there’s just not enough time in the day to do all we need to do. If we were to take note of our own lives and be totally honest with ourselves, we would conclude that many of us have trouble managing our time and efforts. There’s always something to do, always somewhere to go and always someone to meet. We are always moving, as if we were in a marathon race or on some strict time schedule. We get up in the morning worrying about what we got to do in the evening and lay down at night trying to figure out how to handle the things of tomorrow. Yet the Bible reminds us in Matthew 6:34, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Our lives are like a roller coaster: We get up and start running in the morning and by nightfall we fall into bed too tired to pray, saying, “Lord you know my heart.” It seems that there’s always something we’ve just got to do. And in the final analysis, even when we’ve done our best, there’s still something we forgot to do and we, for all our efforts, are still not being blessed. Another reason for our being so busy is that somehow we have come to equate the value of life and the importance of an individual with how much a person really does. Yet, I want to leave you with the thought that being busy or doing a lot of things does not mean that we are being blessed. Though we have a lot to do, and a lot of places to go, and our calendars are full, it does not mean we are experiencing a good, wholesome, quality and blessed life. There are a lot of people that are busy today, but they cannot find a blessing in all their being busy. The expected and hoped results of their efforts go unfulfilled. They work from sun up to sun down, and are miserable and weary at the end of the day, wondering if things will ever get better or will they ever find any joy in all that they do. Many of us today, when we look at our lives, will admit that we have so much going on, but so little of it brings any real fulfillment or satisfaction. In the book of Ecclesiastes the writer summed it up by saying, “I looked on all the work my hands had wrought, and all the labors I had labored to do, and behold all was vanity, and a vexation of spirit and there was no profit in it under the sun.” It seems the problem is we are very busy, but not very blessed. What we must do in times such as these is to seek God for His guidance and His Word for our direction. We need to stop and ask God: “Is this what I need to be doing?” We must allow God to set the course for our lives, for He knows far better for us than we know for ourselves. We do not please God by doing a lot of things, but rather by doing a few things well. God wants our lives to be well rounded and always with time to serve and worship Him. So often we become so bogged down in being busy that we find little or no time for God. If we have no time for God then there is no way we can find blessings in the things that we do. There is nothing in life more important than our giving God His deserved time. Let us slow down enough to reassess our efforts, and then ask God to “order our footsteps in His Word.” Let God direct our every action and effort so that in the end we can and will hear His welcoming words: “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Let us seek more for God’s blessings in all that we do in our lives and not merely being busy. Your Pastor, Rev. Daniel Sanders Page 2 Springfield Chronicles Marriage is a lifelong process designed to teach one to see the needs of another person as more important than their own. It's a difficult transition because it's not natural. This ministry exists to aid couples in their marriage to become more and more purpose-driven -- to focus on the needs of others in balancing the purposes of worship, fellowship, discipleship, service, and missions. OBJECTIVE OF THIS MINISTRY IS "Building Marriages with No Limits in Christ." We trust God and His Word on marriage. We minister to relationships by teaching and encouraging all couples to learn about, live, and celebrate marriage the way God ordained it to be. We strive to move from married couples to an “Anointed Oneness!” We believe that there is nothing we can do that can have a more significant impact on our family then to build a Biblical, God honoring relationship with our spouse. Laying a foundation for seeing our marriage relationship through Biblical lens is our goal. We want to have a better understanding of how to build a relationship that will bring joy to our hearts, peace to our families, and honor to God. Our children will learn from our marriages. They will come to know how to have a better relationship with God. There is no magic formula , but to have clarity about where we are and what we are called to be in Christ in this union called ...marriage The Couples’ Ministry meets on the 2nd and 5th Sunday during BTU. PURPOSE: To minister to the needs of women from all walks of life by focusing on issues that directly affect women in our world. GOAL: To strengthen and encourage the women of SBC, in the community, and beyond to develop a closer relationship with God by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. The Women’s Ministry fellowships are held on the Friday before the 2nd Sunday at 7:00 p.m. Please come and be a part of this fellowship. It is open to ALL women of SBC. Guests are also welcome.

The shoe drive was conducted November 15th through December 31, 2009. Thanks to the generous and enthusiastic giving of the Springfield Family, 776 pairs of shoes were collected. These contributions resulted in a 64 percent surplus over our projected goal of 500 pairs of shoes. On behalf of the Singles’ Ministry, Jennifer Pierce and the Shoes-4-Souls Staff, and the many shoe recipients, we say “THANK YOU.” We could never have achieved this great feat without your unselfish acts of kindness that truly exemplifies the fact that Springfield is a blessed Body of Christ who is willing to share their blessings with others. We must always remember that many of our blessings are bestowed unto us through our willingness to give to others from the heart without expectation. We will be conducting other shoe and clothes drives throughout the 2010 year as a part of our Singles’ Community Outreach efforts. So, set aside any items that you may want to donate in the coming months. Keep your eyes and ears open for forthcoming announcements. As always, we invite all Singles join us on the 4th Saturday of every month at 10:00 a.m. for our monthly meetings unless otherwise announced differently. God Bless. Sis.

Volume 2010, Issue 1 Page 9 JALEN DAWES (SYRS) entered his artwork titled “From Dream to Reality” in an art contest sponsored by the North Carolina Association of Educators. The Human and Civil Rights Commission named Jalen the state winner for grades 3-5. The contest was in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and commitment to the ideals of equality, justice and freedom for all Americans. Jalen and his parents, Dea. William and Sis. Donna Dawes, were invited to the NCAE’s Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Banquet held on January 15, 2010, at the NCAE Center where Jalen received his plaque. Jalen’s artwork will be on display at the NCAE Center, 700 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, until the end of February. Congratulations Jalen! On December 12, 2009, I received a Master of Public Administration from North Carolina Central University. During the 18-month program, I had an opportunity to intern for two weeks in Monrovia, Liberia. The masters program was challenging. While a good educational experience, it afforded me the opportunity to accomplish a goal I set for myself. I give God the glory and honor for giving me strength to complete the program. I am currently working with the City of Durham but I am praying and trusting God for a door to open for me with the U.S. Federal Government. I thank God for blessing me with a prayerful, supportive and loving family and my Springfield Baptist Church family during this life changing experience. Sis. Cynthia Jenkins 1812-1901 REV. JOHN JASPER (preacher, philosopher and orator) was born a slave in Virginia and matured to become one of Virginia’s most celebrated preachers. He was the youngest of 24 children. He was converted to Christianity in 1839. Secretly, he taught himself to read and write. He studied the Bible and eventually answered the call to preach Jasper delivered his sermons in the dialect of the southern slave. The pictures this gifted preacher painted with words left thousands of men and women, both black and white spellbound. Jasper illuminated the scriptures with vivid details. In 1867, he became the first black man to establish a church (Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church) in postwar Richmond, VA. The church began with 9 members and at his death they numbered nearly 2,000 (more than one-third of whom were white). Page 10 Jasper achieved national fame in 1878 when he first preached his “De Sun Do Move” sermon. He delivered this sermon by invitation more than 250 times to large audiences and once before the Virginia General Assembly. This sermon was an attempt to prove through biblical references that the sun moves around the earth. If someone in the Bible could ask the sun to stand still, Jasper preached, it had to be moving. Thousands of people (of all races) flocked to his church for standing-room only lectures on the powers and mysteries of God. He is considered the last of the old-styled antebellum preachers who possessed great oratory skills. Jasper’s accomplishments are even more remarkable given the fact that he was a slave during the first twenty-five years of his ministry work — a time when Virginia law expressly prohibited slaves from preaching. A leader in the community and the city of Richmond, VA., Rev. Jasper has been the subject of many books and related articles describing the black religious experience.
