The
theme for our debt retirement strategy, "Meet the
Challenge," indicates both our willingness and ability to
do so. That is, to "Meet the Challenge" is exactly what
Landmark is preparing itself, through prayer, to do. Every occasion
of prayer: to involve God or for us to become involved - always finds
both to be true.
During
unprecedented pressure toward compromise, our Lord, that is,
Controller Jesus Christ remains faithful to Landmark. To advance the
correct message concerning Jesus Christ, and in so doing, correctly
opinionate the Deity as no one less than the Father of Jesus Christ
certainly contradicts the world's vague and ambiguous opinion of God.
While the cost of our freedom to peaceably assemble, accurately
announce; and correctly opinionate, praise, and worship as a
called-out body of Christ continues to escalate with every life
sacrificed in our nation's unprecedented battle to defend itself from
the tyranny of the maniacal religious order, we are expected to do
nothing less than rise up ourselves and "Meet the Challenge."
Although
many comrades (so called) have retreated from the frontline of
advancing the Kingdom of God, Landmark chooses to remain faithful
until death, not faithful until inconvenienced, offended, or no
longer pacified; but rather, faithful until death. As a called-out
body of Christ, His challenge to us can be no more contemporaneous
than when He challenged His church in Smyrna to "...come to be a
faithful one until death, and I will deliver to you the garland of
life." Revelation 2:10.
A
challenge like this is not found among an age or culture that is bent
toward seeking its own interests and construction the "good
life" for itself. This challenge comes from the Lord himself to
His called-out body - people whose former ties with the world are
severed. The life He offers is not a life acquired through the
avoidance of challenges, more rather, through the meeting of them.
Faithful until death: to pray, to serve, to kneel in spirit and
truth, to give, and encourage. Christ has not called-out Landmark
without Himself teaching us by word and deed to be faithful. He
himself was faithful until death, even the death of the cross. He has
earned the right to expect nothing less from each one of us. As we
"Meet the Challenge," let us do so in such a manner that
the God, that is, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is correctly opinionated.

Pastor - Teacher,
