George O. Parsons

-

We were saddened by the loss of our Pastor's father and Elder and minister Bro. George Parsons. He passed through the veil into the Presence of the Lord on July 27, 2019..

He was born on June 29, 1931 in Hillsboro to James and Sara (Shepherd) Parsons who preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife, the love of his life for 66 years Suzanne (Breckler), children Keith (Donna), Cynthia Parsons, Lynne Parsons, and Tim, foster grandchild Nathan, and Nathan's father John Sheese. Sisters Catherine Ritter, Shirley Turley, and brother Bill. He was preceded in death by foster daughter Cindy Sheese, sisters Francis, May, Louise, Marybelle, Jean.

George was a loving man of God. He lived for God for the past 65 years. Giving of himself without thought of or care of the cost. He was the same way with his family. All he wanted was to be with his family. His 5 loves were his God, his wife, his family, people, and life itself.

His legacy lives on in all who knew him and the churches where he and his wife ministered for many years.  He was an excellent example of a family man and a man of God. We dearly miss him but know he is with his Lord and Savior- Jesus Christ.

Identity

(Taken from Sis.Suzanne Parsons' message- 1/28/2015) Luke 6: 43-45 43 "For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."   In some ways the Church has lost its identity. It seems that we blend in more with the world than we are  separate from it. Years ago many in the Church held on to a strictness in outer appearance, for instance. They stood up against the world in their convictions. Yes, many became harsh and judgmental in this attitude but through the years, the Lord has shown many that it isn't in outward appearance that determines a holy life, but it is our life itself- our actions

WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?

-
1 Samuel 15:13-16 In this text Saul is confronted by the prophet Samuel because Saul didn't obey the command to totally destroy the Amalekites. The  spoil was considered a sacrifice to God. But Saul didn't do that. Instead he spared King Agag, the best of the sheep, oxen, lambs and all that was good. ( Verse9 ). When Samuel confronted him on his disobedience (even while the sheep were bleating and the oxen were lowing)-- Saul denies that he has done anything wrong. What have I done wrong? Instead in verse 13 he makes a statement --"I have performed the commandment of the Lord". It is as if he is saying- Look at me--- I've done a good job! I did what the Lord asked me to do! Aren't I great! Later, Saul gives various excuses as to why he did what he did (or better said- didn't do what he should have done).   Samuel looks at him and says "Be quiet!". When God confronts us on issues that are not pleasing to Him, I can imagine Him looking at

THE HARVEST

-
Matthew 9:37-39: "Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'"     God has set individual Christians and churches in specific fields. Harvest will come but we must be obedient to the Lord and allow Him to prepare us for the harvest. We can not wait until harvest time and them make sure everything is good to go. No, we must prepare now for time will be short when it is time to harvest.   We must allow God to do the work in us so that His light will shine out from us. Then others will be attracted to that light. Are there people in your pathway that seem to bother you? They may be a nuisance to you or obnoxious or just difficult to get along with. These very people may be part of that harvest to come and we must show them God's love now. As we do this, we are "cultivating" the field for the harvest. Our neighbors, co-work
