Plugged In

A few years ago when I started here at TBC we had a bit of a tradition on Wednesday nights before Bible study. Marcia would go up to the piano and everyone would shout out a favorite hymn that they’d like to sing a verse of. Every single Wednesday night, one of our members who has gone on to be with the Lord, Lawrence Oliver, would pick the same hymn “In Times Like These”. The first verse goes like this…

“In times like these you need a Savior

In times like these you need an anchor

Be very sure, be very sure

Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!”

Just as ships need an anchor and just as any electronic device needs to be plugged in to a power source, we as Christians need a Savior to hold on to (or at times, to hold onto us!) We must be very sure to grip onto the Solid Rock-Jesus Himself! He is our Savior, our Anchor, our help in times of trouble and the only one who brings us to the throne of God the Father.

So whatever you do, friends make sure you grip the anchor and stay plugged in to the one who has the power!

In His Service,

Pastor Jared
