Welcome to the Pastor’s
Page!
It is my conviction that
we are living in the last days of this earth’s history. Jesus
is coming and we must be ready to meet Him! Not only that but
we must be reaching out to those around us whom Jesus also
desires to be with Him throughout eternity. The question is,
“How bad do you want it?” What is eternity with Jesus worth to
you? Is there anything in this world that is worth more than
spending forever with the One that came to this earth to save
you? Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” (John
14:15) If we love Jesus more than anything in this world, doing
what he has asked us to do is not a burden to us (see 1 John
5:3).
Perhaps the most vital
command he has given us is, “Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” (Mat 28:19) The first word of
this text is the most important, “Go!” Unless we go out from
our home, our workplace, our neighborhood, our country, and
share the good news of Salvation through Jesus, we have not
followed Jesus all the way! Jesus said, “And every one that
hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting
life.” (Mat 19:29) Yes, there is a cost to following Jesus.
But when we reach heaven, we will see that every sacrifice has
been worth it!
So the question to ask
yourself when you are presented with a choice to follow Jesus or
follow your own will is, “How bad do you want it?” Jesus gave
up the glory of heaven, the constant adoration and worship of
the heavenly hosts, just to come to this world. Here he was
ridiculed, spit upon, beaten, scourged, and ultimately
crucified. What a contrast, what a sacrifice, what love! In
the kingdom of God, it is always the love that comes first.
Everything else is a result of that love. And he did it all
for YOU! What are you doing for Him?
It is my prayer that the
things you find on this website will draw you closer to Jesus
and help you realize His love for you. Jesus wants an
everlasting, intimate relationship with you! He is coming back
for you!
In Christian Love,
Victor Vaughn
P.S. We hope to see you
soon at Fairhope Seventh-day Adventist Church. Please come and
