Rev Colin Le Noury, General Director Of The PWMI.Colin spoke on The Rapture and its imminence at Bristol on Thursday, his theme last night was titled "The Five Divine Judgements", and at Pontypridd later in the month he will be delivering a twin-message conference under the headings of "Economic Crisis-What Lies Ahead?", and "Bright New World".
Colin's usual splendid talk at Caldicot centred on God's five judgements, namely the judgement for sin; the judgement for believers; the judgement for Israel; the judgement for the gentile nations; and finally the judgement for unbelievers at the Great White Throne.
In a talk lasting over an hour, Colin took us through a large range of Scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments in quite a deep study of God's Word, with a strong emphasis on the judgement for Christians as the audience was comprised of believers.
He stressed that this was not a judgement for salvation (or loss of it) but for rewards for stewardship and service in His name, before going on to expound on the five crowns which are available for a faithful walk with the Lord. These are the crown of life (James 1:12); the crown of glory (1 Peter 5:2-4); the crown of rejoicing (1 Thess 2:19,20); the crown of righteousness (2 Tim 4:8); and the crown of incorruptibility (1 Cor 9:25).
Colin urged all believers to run the race, and to fight the fight in a faithful fashion, and to make sure that we end up as a "gold, silver, or precious stones" type of Christian rather than a "wood, hay, or stubble" type of believer suffering loss of reward as Paul puts it very clearly in 1 Corinthians 3: 11-15.
Although numbers were a little down on normal, mainly due to the holiday season still being in operation for a lot of people, there was a good feel to the meeting which was hosted as usual to their high standards by Tom and Pearl Jones. Colin's message was well received, and we are now looking forward to having him back in our area on the 29th when he opens the new Pontypridd branch.
Neville.
