Emergency! Call 911

Emergency! Call 911

This number quickly dialed brings to our aid and rescue the sacrificial and loyal commitment of dedicated public servants. Since their needed services are often performed with little thanks in the midst of a drifting, shifting society, we want to express our sincere appreciation to our law enforcement officers, fire fighters, emergency medical personnel and others who give of themselves within our society. This responsibility is sanctioned by God (Romans 13:1-6) and by history. It involves the PROTECTION of life and property, the PREVENTION of crime, the DETECTION and arrest of offenders, the PRESERVATION of peace and order, the ENFORCEMENT of the laws, and the RESCUE of those in distress and danger.

Emergency!“Save Me, 0 Lord”
This cry from the heart of one poor, repenting sinner is immediately heard by an ever-present, all-knowing, all-compassionate God who is waiting to meet the deepest need of every human heart. The Lord Jesus Christ is waiting to save and rescue your soul.

The RIGHT PERSON to CALL upon:
“They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that CANNOT SAVE. Look unto ME and BE YE SAVED, all the ends of the earth: for I AM GOD, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:20,22). "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). “Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man” (Psalm 60:11).

The RIGHT REASONS for making the CALL:
“Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy Name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy Name's sake...Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to Thy mercy: That they may know that this is Thy hand; that Thou, LORD, hast done it” (Psalm 79:9; 109:26-27). “...in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have (desires) all men to be SAVED, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:3-5).

The RIGHT CALL:
“The same Lord over all is rich unto all that CALL upon Him. For whosoever shall CALL upon the Name of the Lord be saved” (Joel 2:32; Romans 10:12-13). “BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). “For the SON OF MAN is come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).
Why not look to and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ so that you might find God's SAVING GRACE and His EVER-PRESENT HELP!

The Kingdon of Heaven is at hand!
