The Inclusive Love of Jesus

FLOYD ROGERS

No one is left out of Jesus’ love. It doesn’t matter where a person comes from, what language they speak, or what their background is. No race, belief, or past mistake can place someone beyond the reach of His care. Jesus welcomes every person, no matter their story.

When someone chooses to accept Jesus Christ, something powerful happens in their life. It starts by believing that Jesus is truly the Son of God, sent by the Father into this world. He gave His life on the cross, shedding His blood to pay for the sins of all people. When a person confesses this truth and receives Jesus as their personal Saviour, their life is made new.

Jesus did not come to judge or push people away. His purpose was to save, to bring hope, and to offer a new beginning to anyone who will receive Him.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

John 3:17

Trusting God’s Timing in Your Life Journey

FLOYD ROGERS

God has designed a unique purpose and plan for each of our lives. He is always doing something meaningful, even when we don’t fully understand it. Since He created us with a clear purpose, we should trust that He also has a perfect schedule for how and when things should happen. We can infer from God’s word that he wants us to set aside our own plans, follow His ways, and watch how He moves in our lives.

It’s surprising how some people live as if God isn’t working around them. No matter what situations we face, His goodness never changes. He remains kind and faithful to each one of us. Because God knows everything, He understands the best path for us, the perfect moment for every event, and the right timing for every step we take.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trusting God’s Timing

FLOYD ROGERS

Sometimes, it feels like God is silent. When we don’t see visible signs of change, we might think nothing is happening. However, the truth is that God is always there, even when we cannot see what he is doing. The problem often comes when His timing does not match what we think it should be. We expect answers when we want them, and when that doesn’t happen, we might believe God isn’t listening or acting.

But Scripture reminds us that God moves on behalf of those who wait for Him. Isaiah 64:4 says, God acts for those who wait for Him. This means He is constantly at work, arranging things according to His perfect plan, not our hurried expectations. The important choice we have is whether we will trust Him enough to follow His schedule instead of demanding our own.

Hope and strength come from staying close to God’s Word, listening for His guidance, and trusting that He is working for our good, even in the unseen moments.

The Power of Forgiveness: Healing Your Heart

FLOYD ROGERS

When someone harms you, it causes deep pain. But holding onto anger or refusing to forgive causes even more harm to yourself. Forgiveness is not about how you feel in the moment. It is a choice you make, no matter how hurt you are.

You might think, “But I’m still in pain. How can I forgive?” The truth is, forgiving does not mean you will suddenly feel love or joy toward the person who hurt you. It also does not mean you will forget what happened. The key is deciding not to hold their actions against them any longer.

Even if your heart aches and the memories remain, you can still say, “I forgive them. I won’t carry this anger anymore.” This choice brings peace to your spirit and prevents further damage to your own heart. It frees you from the heavy burden of bitterness.

For if you forgive other people for their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Matthew 6:14

The Kingsmen Quartet: Navigating Change with Faith and Gratitude

JEFF TURNER

For nearly seven decades, The Kingsmen Quartet has been a staple in Southern gospel. As the group approaches its 70th anniversary, they find themselves in a season marked by both sorrow and celebration.

The past few weeks have brought significant moments. In a heartfelt message to fans, the group shared, “Some significant prayer needs and praise reports have been transpiring within our music ministry over the last few weeks, and the time has come to provide an update to our many fans and friends.” The Kingsmen delayed sharing their news out of respect for the recent passings of two beloved friends and alumni, Charles Abee and Squire Parsons.

Amid these losses, the group announced the departure of their tenor vocalist, Thomas Nalley. “It is bittersweet that the Kingsmen announce the departure of our friend and tenor vocalist, Thomas Nalley,” the post reads. Nalley, who joined the quartet nearly three years ago, quickly became a fan favorite and the voice behind such impactful songs as “Unstoppable God” and “Praying for the Prodigal.” His final concert with The Kingsmen took place on April 27.

The group expressed deep gratitude for Nalley’s contributions: “We sincerely thank him for his work, dedication, music, and genuine heart for ministry.” Nalley now turns his focus to his thriving business, Highnote Customs, which offers shirts, hats, 3D printing, and woodwork. “We pray with great expectation for the continued success of this multi-talented gentleman and friend,” the group added.

Even as they grieve and transition, The Kingsmen have reasons to rejoice. The group shared uplifting news about their office secretary, Wendi Gregg: “We are overjoyed to report that the recent major cancer surgery of our office secretary Wendi Gregg was a success. Praise God!” This praise report is a bright spot, reminding fans of the power of prayer and the resilience of the Kingsmen community.

Change is nothing new for The Kingsmen, whose lineup has evolved many times since their founding in 1956. As they search for their next tenor vocalist, the group remains anchored in faith: “As we approach our 70th anniversary and this time of transition with both prayer and anticipation, we are once again reminded of how God has never failed us. He has always been faithful.”

The Kingsmen are grateful for the friends and familiar faces who have stepped in to help during this period. “We greatly appreciate several friends and familiar faces who have been and will be filling in for us while we prayerfully seek our next tenor vocalist,” they wrote, assuring fans that “God already has the right man to help us continue our concert ministry forward to the next generation.”
