NOTE FROM PASTOR RANDY
I’m writing this on Tuesday, May
21st
, one day after the devastating
tornado swept through Moore,
OK obliterating everything in its path. I watched the
Weather Channel’s live coverage of the twister as it
slowly moved across Moore’s neighborhoods,
shopping centers, farms, and schools. It was clear
by the storm’s size, power and duration that
people would be left homeless, injured and
possibly dead. The news coverage following the
40+ minutes of the tornado’s rampage confirmed
those suspicions. As of today, there are hundreds
left homeless, over 100 injured & taken to
hospitals, 51 confirmed deaths and more than 100
missing. When tragedies like this occur I’m
reminded of the fragility and uncertainty of life.
Similar thoughts prompted David to pray, “Lord,
remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered, and that
my life is fleeing away. My life is no longer than the
width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a
moment to you; human existence is but a breath.
We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy
rushing ends in nothing . . . And so, Lord, where do
I put my hope? My only hope is in You” (Ps. 39:4-7,
NLT). It’s sad to think that some who perished
Monday had put their hope in something or some-
one other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Where have
you put your hope? ~ Pastor Randy

It is graduation season! For high
school and college graduates this is a
time of immense joy and satisfaction.
In most cases years have been spent
with this goal in mind. Not only do
these accomplishments involve celebration, but they also
mark a major milestone in life. For high school
graduates they will either move on to college or enter the
work force. For college graduates they begin to enter
their professional career. I want to take a few moments
and speak to our high school graduates of MBC. All of
our high school graduates this year are moving on to
college, so I specifically want to give you a few
suggestions/words of encouragement.
1. Find a local church to be involved in.
2. Involve yourself in a Christian fellowship group
that takes discipleship seriously.
3. Focus on your studies. This is why you are in
college.
4. Use wisdom in all your decisions.
5. Many people meet their spouses in college. Be
sure God is in your relationships.
6. Pray daily.
7. Read your Bible daily.
8. Avoid destructive behavior.
9. Be a good roommate.
10. Be sure your top priority remains your
relationship with God.
Know that as you move away from MBC that I will be
praying for each of you and if you ever need someone to
talk to I am just a phone call away. ~ Pastor Brendon
