Greetings Friend, welcome to our Web Site, Chamblissburg Baptist Church! A church you can call home. . . . . . . "Winter" south-central Virginia, practically all church services were canceled, 1/25/26. We had snow, sleet, and night temps in single digits, and those low day and night temps will continue the rest of this week. The word winter is mentioned several times in Scripture. God sent Noah and his family out of the ark. Then Noah built an altar and offered a sacrifice to God and He responded to Noah’s sacrifice in Genesis 8:21, NKJV, “21 And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.” God then said in v.22, “22 While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease." Some other references: Psalm 74:17, NKJV, “17 You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.”Proverbs 20:4, NKJV, “4 The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.” Jeremiah 36:22, NKJV, “22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him.” Zechariah 14:8, NKJV, “8 And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur.” So, enjoy the winter, remembering that since God has established the seasons of the earth, Spring will soon break forth with budding trees, grass, and many beautiful flowers. Winter will just become a memory. The slides are all winter pictures of our great state of Virginia. “winter” is italicized for emphasis. |
