What's your excuse?
Meeting Reflections - Dec 13, 2009 by Suresh Joel
When Moses was called by God to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, Moses gave five excuses to get out of the calling and hence lost God's blessings. This made Moses go out of God's perfect will and gave up high-priesthood to Aaron (God's permissive will). The excuses he gave are his 1. Inferiority (Exo 3:11) 2. Ignorance (Exo 3:13) 3. Fear of the people (Exo 4:1) 4. Ineloquence (Exo 4.10) and 5. Feeling that someone else will be better (Exo 4:13). While all these reasons appear to be coming from a humble heart, it did not please God. They were excuses to walk out of God's perfect plan. Do we have excuses to God's calling and lose out on blessings?
Welcome
We hope the above message has blessed you. If you would like to know more about us, please read on....
International Christian Fellowship (ICF) is a non-denominational church located in the College Park, MD area.
We are family oriented, reaching out to all people to provide support, physically, emotionally
and spiritually through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Whatever your struggles, whatever your difficulties, whatever
your questions, we at ICF have faced the same issues, but have learned to look to Jesus Christ and His teachings and
have found answers and comfort. We welcome people of all races and backgrounds, and are blessed to
fellowship with people from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, just as it will be in heaven. God has called each
of us to join in one accord and worship, the Lord of all nations, Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and
the Life.
Our mission is two-fold:
1. To introduce Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him. Jesus
boldly proclaimed "I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes
to the Father (God) except by me."
2. To support each other as brothers and sisters so that we can grow in
the knowledge of Jesus Christ to transform our lives to His character.
It is our pleasure to extend you a very warm and friendly welcome. Come
worship with us and allow us to reach out to you with the love of Christ. Come and join us in the true fellowship of Jesus
Christ. For more details about ICF, go to the About page. For
