Welcome to Concord Missionary Baptist Church of Omaha, Texas
| Concord Missionary Baptist Church |
| Concord is a country church in the truest sense. Many members are descendants from charter members of the church. The present building was originally called The Concord Meeting House. This site includes a history of the church, the adjoining cemetery, and a list of Pastors that served the church, as well as the current events for the month, and any future events Concord has planned. There are selected devotion's, sermons, and other information we feel maybe useful. We pray that as you visit our web site that you truly receive a blessing. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou has established the earth, and it abideth. Psalms 119:90 |

| Message from Brother Nolan: Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he who is slow to anger appeaseth strife. Let me give you another statistic that I read this week. It has been said that 90% of the friction in daily life is caused by the wrong tone of voice. When I read this statement, it hit your pastor right between the eyes. Do you know why? I am guilty at times in my life with the tone of voice that I use on occasions. How can we avoid feeling resentful and causing resentment in others? I read an article about Abraham Lincoln and this article shared information how he dealt with the political problems during his reign as president of our great land. The story goes that when Abraham Lincoln wanted to write a letter to someone who had irritated him, he would often write two letters. The first letter was deliberately insulting. Then, having gotten those feelings out of his system, he would tear it up and write a second letter, this one tactful and more respectable. When we have these times of resentment or anger in our hearts, the one thing we need more than anything else is God's grace to flood our minds and hearts. We must ask God for help to guard our thoughts and actions toward others before we lash out at someone under our own power of feelings. If we need to confront someone and these times do arise in our lives, we need to rehearse our thoughts before we simply unload on someone with uncontrolled anger. Let's give ourselves time to vent our anger before we cause hurt feelings. What happens when we allow God's grace to control our lives? The anger usually dissipates and our harshness is not as harsh when given time to think. The Bible tells us that we are to love one another, and one way we can show that love is by sorting through our anger before we unleash it on someone. Should we become angry at times? God's word tells us to "be ye angry and sin not". Usually these times of anger should be directed toward sin and Satan. Yes, there is a small percentage of time, possibly the other 10%, that Godly anger need's to be directed toward someone. Jesus got angry, but His anger was always directed toward the religious hypocrites of His day who allowed the ways of Satan to control their lives. Let's make sure that we are in tune with God's grace before we direct our thoughts toward the ones we love most: our family and friends. In closing: I need your love, but you need my love also. Yes, let's simply do what God's Word tells us to do: "Love one another". It is great to be your pastor. IN HIM, |
