Kodiak's Pastor on Fundamentals

Pastor Rex L, at the Central Section Men's Conference, told us about a climber who fell to her death when she violated the most fundamental rule of mountain climbing - tying a knot in the end of the rope. If there is a knot in the end of the repelling rope, and you come to end of the rope, the knot won't completely pull through the ring attached to your climbing harness. She neglected to tie the knot and fell over 1300 feet. The knot is fundamental to the climber.

What is fundamental to the Christian is: prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship. This too, if neglected, could lead to a disaster. For example, The wisest man, Solomon; the strongest man, Sampson; and the one who had a heart after God's heart, David - all fell to sexual sins. If these men could fall, how much more diligent do we need to be tied to the fundamentals of Christianity? The fundamentals are essential.

We were privileged to have Pastor Rex L. and a few of the men from the Kodiak church with us last Friday night. It was the Men's Ministries Mini LFTL Tour that Pastor Kevin S. put together.

Kodiak has some great Christian men.
