The first group of scriptures tell of those who hear what is said and by receiving the Word of the Lord, the people will trust with all their heart and gain understanding. In doing so, the people will be happy and find wisdom.
The second group of scriptures start out with a command to not remove the old landmark. We have a firm foundation in which to sound off and we need to hold to those things that have gone before us and have been proven by those who have already come this way. Many old landmarks, once under the Church, have been done away with and lost for now. We cannot repeat these mistakes. We need to honor what God has done for the Church and maintain what He has given us.
I am very excited about our Church heritage and history and take this new appointment very seriously. I want to help preserve the Church in the mind of our people and all those who will come behind us. We each have a great responsibility. We all need to do what we have been called to do. We must fully give ourselves to God as He uses every part of the Church to further the gospel and keep all that is committed.
Church, we must work the work that is set before us while we can, so let us “Sound the alarm!”
