Excuses, Excuses

Pastor Dale Thornton points out that it is natural for us to make excuses for not serving the Lord. But for every excuse, God has an answer. And we miss a key blessing of God's presence in our lives when we fail to do His will. The prophet Jeremiah made 5 excuses -- all of which God answered. God's answers enabled Jeremiah to minister faithfully against a society that ignored God's warnings and plunged headlong into judgement. The pastor had to overcome his own introverted timidity to preach. What are your excuses? Perhaps God's answers to Jeremiah apply to you. Pastor Thornton is the senior pastor at First Baptist Church Las Colinas, a family integrated Baptist Church.
